No they'll say McAvoy dove like that idiot on the radio.A black eye for the league. But I have a feeling they won't see it that way.
Yeah I (and all of us) have been pretty consistent in saying all we want is consistency. If you’re gonna let stuff go, let it go. If not, then don’t. But it changes from play to play. The faceoff bullshit. It’s tedious as fuck.Caveat this with "I don't actually think the refs are actively trying to screw the Bruins", but I agree. It's been really hard to watch. It's been this way for years for the Bruins, just magnified in these last two series (wasn't really an issue against Ottawa last year, I don't think, because the Bruins were pretty ineffective in that series anyway). The Bruins generally don't dive, or try to sell calls, they fight through trips and hooks instead of going down, and I think it shows in the discrepancy in penalties for/against over the last few years. It is part of the reason I love them so much, but it certainly bites them in the ass quite a bit.
Isn't that on Cassidy? Why not just challenge at that point?He was offsides!
Which is exactly why he wasn't dressing up to this point.Not a good play by Donato along the boards.
Might have reviewed. I checked again, his skate was way behind the line, but quite possibly off the ice.Is that offsides not reviewable?
The refs might want to hope it doesn't come back to Boston. They may need police escorts straight to the airport tonight.They'll actually give us all the calls in Tampa to get 6 games, then we'll get fucked at home again.
Why not challenge anyway? What’s the downside?If the Bruins thought it was offside, they would have challenged it.
Hard to give a fuck about the league at all with that bullshitThis is as pissed as I've been after a loss in a long, long time
