Tripping. I was starting to think the whistles were put away

 

[apachef4]

Yeah, that's a trip Schultzie. B's get the first PP.

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Definitely a trip but overacting by Marchand again.

 

[puckhead]

note: that was not a dive (this time).

 

[elocomotive]

Oh, they are calling penalties.

I thought they weren't after that Lucic interference.

There's been calls both ways that they let go.

PP Boston which means no shots on goal for 2 mins

C'mon, now, they got at least one.

Schultz simply drops his shoulder there, it is a clean hit, no penalty. His lack of physicality costs him, and he is 8 foot 3.....

 

[BF4L]

Bruins was much to passive. Holtby was snug as a bug in the goal.

Advantage after period one - Caps

Not only in score but in gameplay.

 

[johnnytata]

solid 1st period. still lots of time. boston will strike back.

 

[BF4L]

I am dejected after that effort in 1st period. The Bruins did not really use home ice as a push to get some pressure going. Caps played with more intensity.

The NBC announcer got it right. He was playing the puck and got his leg in Marchand's skates. It's a tripping minor.

 

[OregonDucks]

GREAT GAME!

I played defense and just really get annoyed by passive defensive play. Give me that height! I hit like a motherfucker and am 5 foot 11. Shoulder to chest, beautiful hit, get the puck back. Passive play, chase the puck, obvious trip, power play.

Oh, absolutely it was a trip. I am just saying he needed to simply play physical and it would have been a nice hit, and no penalty. Marchand didn't dive there, it was a blatant trip.

Great tip for the goal by Jimi Hendricks

VERY solid road game so far from the Caps

An actual penalty against Marchand that he almost fucked up by embellishing it.

Bruins aren't looking sharp, IMO. Chara or Julien has to get them fired up between periods or they could be in serious trouble.

not sure what it sounds like at your place where you are watching but the crowd was not as loud as normal. maybe my TV is not catching it. but that is the period that Was needed. going to see a different bruins team next period.

Missed the first, but I don't care since we are up 1-0.
