pedro1918 reports that Tortorella is wrong.
.@FOXSportsOH Jody Shelley just relayed from the bench that #CBJ coach John Tortorella thought Bobrovsky and the puck were shoved backward, helping the puck over the line.
This. I have been saying this all series, get pucks to the net. Torts team's play strong defensively, they have Bob, the #2 PK unit and are a heavy team.Huh. So instead of trying to make 5 passes below the dots you take the puck to the net and you get a bounce and a goal? Fascinating What a novel idea.
Another pass to no oneShift before that he was curling in from the right circle had a clear shot an d inexplicably tried a drop pass to a covered Krejci. Bizarre. I don’t know if Bob’s just in their heads or something but hopefully scoring one gets them to get back to just putting pucks on net.
He's been spectacular on both ends of the ice.McAvoy has been awesome all series, but in particular tonight. This is the guy we always wanted him to be.
I’m ready to scratch him. That was a controller disconnected shift and he literally didn’t do anything out there except fall down and glide around.Pastarnak’s not really an NHL player right now. He can’t move.
I don’t think it’s a terrible idea. Chara’s ability to move the puck at all doesn’t look very good right now.This might be sacrilege, but...

I’d give that a try.
Agreed. It's clear he's hurt, but you've gotta stack the top 6 with Heinen and Coyle as the RWs at this point - he's taking away from the play every time he touches the puckPastarnak’s not really an NHL player right now. He can’t move.
Couple minutes ago Chara reached without moving his feet in a way that I’d yell at my 12 year old for doing the same.This might be sacrilege, but...
