Seems pretty obvious now, the Bruins didn't lose consistently to the Caps because of Holtby....Trotz's defensive system is apparently Bruins kryptonite. Can't beat him when the refs allow stuff to go in the playoffs. Certainly can't win when they let Trotz's team get away with stuff, but they call tacky stuff on Bruins.

Media is already penning their ‘well the Bruins should’ve done more to overcome the officiating’ pieces.
Well, they should’ve. It can be true that the officiating was bad but they should've handled it better.

I mean 1-4 on the PK is horrific and 3 of the 4 penalties against were the legit penalties. The main gripe is the lack of calls against New York.

Two completely different situations entirely.

This officiating is reminiscent of that scene in the remake of ‘The Longest Yard’ where Michael Irvin punches Adam Sandler in the face during a 1:1 basketball game and playground rules dictate no foul is called.

need to take advantage of good shooting opps - making the extra pass too often. not going against patrick roy in his prime

I know it’s a game thread so the dominant thing is that the refs cost us the game, but we’ve been absolutely atrocious at converting opportunities. Just dreadful.
