6/5 - Everything is Hall Right

[IdiotKicker]

Why is the fucking neutral zone ref making that call?

 

[twibnotes]

They missed the hit from behind but didn’t miss the retaliation

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Islanders are a bunch of soccer players out there.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Hold me

 

[ArmyBoSoxFan]

Didn’t call the boarding...but that bullshit

 

[McBride11]

Oh ffs. We only see high sticks against the Bs

Also, seems a boarding no?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I hate how every high stick is a flop even if legit

 

[IdiotKicker]

Make the last fucking one you fucking fuck.

 

[durandal1707]

There was only a "first one" Pierre.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

I mean, could that be more of a textbook boarding?

 

[Cotillion]

bruins need to snap their necks more...

 

[ArmyBoSoxFan]

I want a Marchy shortie so badly

 

[patinorange]

They flop. We don’t.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

I mean that's a penalty.

It is, but there was at least 2-3 calls that should have been made against the Isles that were not in the last few minutes.

 

[Salem's Lot]

I mean that's a penalty.

So was the embellishment.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Basically only calling stick stuff.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Basically only calling stick stuff.

but not all of it.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Cross checking and boarding no longer penalties. Let’s keep track!

 

[Cotillion]

So was the embellishment.

Look at Lauzon non call high stick where it had more force to it... and then that McaVoy one... definitely embellishment... and it got him the call

 

[Auger34]

I have to ask...I’m not a huge hockey fan but I love the playoffs so I don’t have a ton of exposure to hockey announcers but......is Pierre McGuire the worst announcer in all of sports?
I watch these games and legitimately think I know more about hockey than him

 

[LogansDad]

JulE6 levels of pathetic from the refs that period.

 

[wilked]

Maybe obvious, maybe not

is a power play split across two periods “diminished”? Ie the odds of scoring reduced if the period break is in the middle? I assume yes, tried googling to see if the stats backed it up, couldn’t fine it

Whoa! Haven't heard that name in quite a while....

Ice should be "better" (relatively speaking)

He used to be decent but has become more and more a font of inanity over the years.

Depends on the split. Fresh ice is good.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I think it was more like Imgran or kitchikinet, but I’ll let it go.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I’m 51 years old, lived in the Northeast my entire life, and I’ll talk hockey with any mammal with a heartbeat, and I don’t think I’ve ever met an Islander fan.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

They’re all in Nassau Coliseum tonight.

 

[durandal1707]

I'm so glad NBC is losing hockey coverage.

 

[McBride11]

JulE6 levels of pathetic from the refs that period.

I laughed a lot

 

[Ferm Sheller]

They’re all in Nassau Coliseum tonight.

Hopefully for the last time.

 

[tmracht]

Agree but any Bs retaliation is drawing an arm. Totally unfair but that's the "standard".

 

[Salem's Lot]

Look at Lauzon non call high stick where it had more force to it... and then that McaVoy one... definitely embellishment... and it got him the call

I’m saying that they should have called the embellishment as well.

 

[catomatic]

Hopefully for the last time.

This is totally a Bomb-maker’s comment.

 

[bsj]

Boston - NY now tied 4-4 collectively with about 1/3 of each game to go.

I married one. God help me.

I think it must be the smallest fan base or close to it, geographically speaking. Mostly restricted to LI/Queens, and doesn’t really extend beyond that. I live in northern NJ and work in Manhattan (in normal times) and easily know/see more Boston gear on the average day. Even the Mets/Jets fans I know are more likely to have the Rangers as their hockey team.

It doesn’t work that way.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

What section is she in?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

It doesn’t work that way.

Lupica will probably have a column up about it

 

[IdiotKicker]

Taylor Hall is going to do something ridiculous.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Tinordi with a strong game for someone thrown in for only their second game so far.

 

[ernieshore]

What section is she in?

Hah. Her family had season tickets growing up during the Islanders glory days. She doesn’t really follow them now. And thank god we don’t live in LI.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Who is on the PP again?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Who is on the PP again?

Guess

 

[durandal1707]

Even a weak backhander from way out results in a Varlamov rebound.

 

[tmracht]

Good power play for the Bruins to start the period.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Hah. Her family had season tickets growing up during the Islanders glory days. She doesn’t really follow them now. And thank god we don’t live in LI.

Seems ripe to convert her to being a Bruins fan.

 

[durandal1707]

Superb kill.
