I tell you what, the lockout killed hockey for me for almost half a decade. The NHL is trying really hard to kill it for me again.

Aside from officiating that'd make Putin wince in its bias, the other big story this series has told is that the Bruins defence needs a TON of work. They really need multiple of Zboril/Lauzon/Urko to hit in the next year or two.

Praying for a Tampa Nashville final or whatever garbage matchup nobody in either country wants.

This has been a really unenjoyable series so far. It’s one thing to lose to a team that beats you. It’s another to feel like you’re getting fucked by the refs in every game, even the one you won.

They brought this on themselves by not putting the spotlight on this horrendous referring. If Sid was being tossed game after game, for example, it would have been flagged immediately and emphatically by the Pens.

True. This should be one of the first thread started after the season ends. Holes and problems are being exposed.

This series, which should be an absolute showcase for the league, is instead showing the NHL at its worst.

I’m not surprised. If there’s anything the NHL knows how to do, it’s ruining a perfect opportunity.

The Bruins shouldn't have worn that dress.

Unfortunately you’ve got state television making sure the morons of America know that everything is on the level so there won’t be a peep about it because it’s just Boston fans being bitter.

We are playing defense all game and the Tampa D just smothers us when we enter their zone.

Why they don’t at least put Stankos on his ass every single time he goes near the pucks is mystifying to me.

I'd complain about these commercials during icings, but it keeps me from having to listen to the fucking broadcast, so that's nice.

No head hunting, but drop the fucking gloves and punch the shit out of these clowns. The ones that merit it the most. No problem with that - overdue after they took our your teammate without penalty.

Because David Backes would have done it if it was any one of those still out there.

This isn't the regular season. They don't need to drop gloves, they need to refocus and find any way to win the game.

It the league would've laughed, called us cry babies and continued the fuck over. They want the Bruins out. Nothing anyone can do about it.

Tampa has been hitting late and hard after the puck is gone all series. Wish the B’s would follow suit. Half our guys can’t clear the puck because they’re just trying to dodge hits.

I don't disagree entirely but at this point I am think they need a boost and a motivator. Willing to try anything. Let's see what happens.
