Well you are wrong about most of what you posted here, so, yeah.
Games 1-3-5 very clearly favored Boston.
Game 5 - Bruins v. Blues

No that's pretty strong. He called them out for letting Berube dictate things.
I got away from hockey fandom (since the early 70s) after the 2nd strike, but I've been watching occasional playoff games over the past few years, thinking about getting back into watching it regularly again.
Then I see the worst non-call in the history of the NHL, and yep, I made the right decision to stay out of it. Every one of you guys should be fucking livid. I know I would be if that happened to my team. I mean, the playoff rule when you get to the third period is to only call obvious penalties, but I don't see how the ref could have missed that one. And he didn't have his dog on the ice with him, so that's no excuse.

Liked Bruce’s comments. Makes the point calmly and clearly. He stays calm. I want Neely to go postal on local radio.
Cassidy really letting the NHL have it. Given how understated he usually is, it’s pretty noticeable.
I get the anger here, and I'm steaming myself, but let's be above using four letter derogatory words starting with C. That's not progressing discussion anywhere positively.
Given what happened to him, Neely is the perfect person to point out how dangerous St. Louis’ thuggery is.
I just don’t get how the league wasn’t more attuned to this after the Blues knocked out, what, 3 Sharks stars?
Holy moly. NHL network assholes are now playing the “Marchand’s Dirty play is cause for no calls’ card. 30 minutes after they were being fair about the penalty. Got the memo from the higher ups, I guess.
This league is a joke. Fuck all of them.

So that's what, 5 players the Blues have concussed this playoffs? Or maybe 6 now...
I'm personally livid because I think the Bruins are still the better team and deep down many of you agree with me.
I mean, it’s clear that was actually true last year. So might as well roll with it.
NESN was the worst post game I've found, totally wishy-washy bullshit. Gee the missed call impacted the game but wasn't why they lost BS.
I really like Cassidy. He’s done a great job. I’m fairly confident about winning game 6. Game 7’s are always worrisome. A bad bounce here, some shitty referee.
But I really think they can do it. They have to overcome the nightmare tonight. Whatever is bothering Bergeron might get a little better, maybe Gryz is back. Chara might feel a little better.
‘You should play well enough to render the officials irrelevant’ is an intellectually dishonest and/or stupid take in the championship round of a major sport.
It was funny J that’s what I was calling him in the 2018 Red Sox threads. I think we’re on to something bud.
This infuriates me more than winning and losing. As an athlete you have to trust in the refs to protect you. Head injuries are massively dangerous. If the refs are going to permit this sort of crap to go unpunished, they might as well just throw players in their with lions and swords.
