5/6/18 - @TBL - Worry about the 60 minutes

[MiracleOfO2704]

There are a couple of people asking about the embellishment thing and if it’s really that common. Short answer: yes.

Long answer is, like soccer, diving has been a problem league-wide for about 15-20 years (see de Montreal, Canadiens). Coming out of the big lockout, it got way worse, so they decided to create an unsportsmanlike penalty for it. Problem is, it’s extremely rare to see it called alone, and if they’re serious about rooting out diving, I have no idea why it’s always been that way. But yeah, it’s almost like refs need a reason to penalize the other team if someone dove, else no one knows the reason the player dove.

 

[edmunddantes]

I can’t really think of a time embellishment has been called without a penalty.

I fucking hate Pierre

[McBride11]

The licking thing is stupid but these guys are making Marchand out to be worse than Matt Cooke

 

[edmunddantes]

With how aggressive Tampa’s forecheck is. Often 2 and 3 guys. If we could just consistently clear the zone, we should get a bunch of odd man rushes.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

How is that not icing?

 

[edmunddantes]

Why no icing?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

All of this a result of another icing not called.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Jesus christ, mcquaid

 

[Maximus]

The puck is a hand grenade for McQuaid.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Why no icing?

Another d jumped on but would’ve been too many if he touched it so he hopped back off. Bad timing

 

[Ed Hillel]

Um icing

Oh ok

Yeah I don’t understand why they haven’t adjusted to it at all. I know it’s easier said than done but yikes.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

That wasn’t a hold?!?!

 

[Deathofthebambino]

LOL. Trip or a high stick, take your pick.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

What is tripping?

 

[edmunddantes]

Tripping

 

[RedOctober3829]

no penalty on Nash rush??

 

[durandal1707]

Nash hauled down

 

[McBride11]

Nash got trip and high sticked or something

 

[Haunted]

Of course no penalty. They need to get Tampa to even the score first.

 

[scotian1]

Nothing has changed in this not even a Bruins fan but obvious official bias.

 

[IdiotKicker]

Kuraly has been great today

 

[edmunddantes]

Backes and this line is our best right now for energy.

 

[shawnrbu]

Pierre loves Callahan.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Nash draws a penalty in a normal game

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Pierre loves Callahan.

Love triangle

 

[RedOctober3829]

#TVA Sportscaster and former #NHL coach Michel Bergeron very upset and not holding back, insisting at least 2 officials in this series need to be severely reprimanded to preserve the integrity of NHL Hockey. States that officials determined the entire series. #Bruins

 

[McDrew]

Jeremy Roenick doing a cartwheel is something I did not need to see.

 

[edmunddantes]

Man that Macavoy shot knuckled.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Nash draws a penalty in a normal game

It’s a fucking shame because that is exactly what the playoff penalty threshold should be for non-intent to injure plays. Offensive chance denied with obvious infraction. Not the bullshit they’ve been calling one way and ignoring the other.

 

[edmunddantes]

Fuck Marchand. It was clear til you brought it back.

 

[Haunted]

NBC: look how awesome Tampa is! They’re so awesome!

 

[durandal1707]

Lightning fans want a call

Cute

 

[RedOctober3829]

Marchand got hauled down...no penalty

 

[JCizzle]

Yo what the hell is Brad doing bringing the puck back into the defensive zone

 

[edmunddantes]

Tampa is smart. Know anytime Marchand spins. Just tug. He’ll fall over and worst that happens is you get a penalty and an embellishment.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

I shouldn’t be surprised at this by now, but that non-call on Marchand getting dragged down was pure horseshit, even by this crew’s standards.

 

[McBride11]

Thanks NBC for the replay of the non foul on Gryz, but what about Brad about 30 seconds later? NAhhh

 

[Dummy Hoy]

NBC: look how awesome Tampa is! They’re so awesome!

Amazing. Every 'highlight' they showed ended with a great pokecheck from Boston.

 

[edmunddantes]

Nice to see the ice is holding up so well.

 

[Ed Hillel]

It’s clear they hate Marchand and so are calling the game unevenly because of it. Just bonkers.

 

[McBride11]

Ya well fck you Paquette

 

[RSN Diaspora]

So, that stick thing isn’t a penalty anymore. Huh.

 

[JCizzle]

Tampa is acting immune. That smirk says it all

 

[edmunddantes]

So, that stick thing isn’t a penalty anymore. Huh.

Give it a minute and Marchand trying it.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Fucking Miller

 

[Boston Brawler]

Fuck
