Bruins vs. Philly
- Thread starter Salem's Lot
- Start date
Another stinker thru 2 periods. Can't get anything going in the neutral zone so the offensive end is all screwed up.
Better effort than in Detroit, but still awful to play only 20 good minutes against an opponent that played last night.
It is a stupid skills competition. Their best scorer is 3-19. If he puts out Nordstrom everyone will cry about where’s Marchand. It is what it is, they use their 2 top goal scorers and a random 3rd guy.
Not for nothing, and I was hemming and hawing (note: screaming) about it from 328: but linesmen in this league are absolutely brutal, this year more than I’ve ever seen before.
I don’t know exactly what criteria they’re evaluated on. All I know is that they’re needlessly slowing each game down with this pre-drop faceoff ejection rigamarole, they have no clue what’s offside, and they have even less of a clue what icing is.
Persist their pensions and the overall number of them, adapt some kind of VAR system for them to be empowered in, i don’t give a shit - the vast majority of the current crop have no capability to handle the pace of the on-ice game at the NHL level

While I'm griping about minutiae, I also didn't like moving Coyle up to RW. He's been effective as a C, and moving him up significantly weakened the bottom 6. Problem was a weakened line 4 with Lindholm at C was left to take a healthy chunk of d-zone draws against the Flyers' top two lines, despite the home matchup
Agreed, feels like they pulled the rug out from under Bjork and Senyshyn. I would’ve kept Cehlarik up for one more game to play with Krejci and scratched Lindholm.
The thing that kills me is when they blow dead a play that, by rule (as much as I hate the rule), is maybe a coin flip as to whether or not it was offside. They've already shown that they can't make the 'right' call on these marginal offsides plays, so shouldn't they be instructed or coached to let anything close go since the review will just be in place anyway. I feel like over the last two games there were multiple times the entry looked good, and was blown dead, negating a scoring chance. Even went back on the TiVo and watched them. Obviously I only have the original angle in those cases but this is what kills me about the current rule. You want to call something a millimeter offside? Get rid of it completely and and just review entry on every goal.
