Defense rocked, but the best part was the Bruins kept their heads. The Caps tried to suck them in, but couldn’t.

Best game the Bruins have played in this series by far. Bruins defense was outstanding. Samsonov and Samsonov alone kept Washington in the game.

Add in some special teams dominance and you get tonight.

Cassidy’s incredulous “IT’S THE FUCKING PLAYOFFS!” was worth the absolute bullshit delay of game penalty.

Fucking puck was six feet high when it entered the bench area

I also wouldn't be surprised if Samsonov is out the next game. You could see his pain on Coyle's goal, I think he's going to wake up tomorrow and not be good to go

He’s good at bitching about the officiating. I don’t ever think ‘yeesh he is whining’, it’s stated as a matter of fact rather than communicated in a tantrum.
Exactly. He’s usually not super into doing that, so when he does and he’s matter of fact with that tiny bit of exasperation, it’s like being in the red for anyone else.

They reduced the Orlov penalty to 4
They put the Bruins shorthanded after the Coyle goal
The interference call on Marchand

I think most of you know I’m not one to whine about officiating...but holy fuck that was horrendous.

Been playing DVR catch-up all series because...life. Post catching up, I live reading the game thread from the beginning and knowing that there are sections such as, ‘how the F is that a double minor’ and ‘Tom Wilson needs to die’, to look forward to. Always enjoyable and self affirming.

We are the better team. Let’s wrap this up Sunday.
