(2) BOSTON BRUINS vs. (7) WASHINGTON CAPITALS Series Thread

[Forty_Sixand2]

So... can we now get a highlight video of all the Caps dirty bullshit?

lol

Go find it.....

 

[SLY]

Nah, cause this is playoff hockey and we don't need to compile some lame video... we'll just win.

 

[SLY]

Officiating has been even in this series. Dirty play has been even.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Caps are going to win the series anyway, so this will all go away in the wash.

 

[SLY]

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

You have 2 more to get, buddy.....

 

[SLY]

And you have 3 more, guy.....

 

[ritari330]

Nah, cause this is playoff hockey and we don't need to compile some lame video... we'll just let our coach bitch to the media.

 

[SLY]

lmao... CJ does not bitch to the media.

In the same game where TT shouldve gotten a Match Penalty according to:

51.3 Match Penalty - If, in the judgment of the Referee, a goalkeeper uses his blocking glove to punch an opponent in the head or face in an attempt to or to deliberately injure an opponent, a match penalty must be assessed.

as well as

49.3 Match Penalty – A match penalty shall be imposed on any player who kicks or attempts to kick another player.

Whether or not an injury occurs, the Referee will impose a five (5) minute time penalty under this rule.

your coach complained about Caps sticks getting high from game 1 + 2:

“The one thing is, this is the second cross-check in two games, Krejci got cut below the nose by the cross-check in Game 1, and now that one, and there’s absolutely nothing we can do about it except that there’s no call on it, on the play."

“And then the league has a second opportunity to review it, and you’ve got to let them do their jobs,” Julien continued. “So, those to me are extremely dangerous things that we keep talking about wanting out of the game, and I’ve seen suspensions from that before.”

Yep, never.

 

[SLY]

Either way (thats still not bitching in my book) this has been a completely even series so far. You guys really believe, honestly, that we are getting the calls in our favor and that we are playing dirty hockey, and you guys are saints?

 

[ritari330]

No, I don't. All I think is that some key things have been missed against us where Backstrom's crosscheck wasn't as bad as those things missed. More of a "of all things, that?" which I think we can agree on to some degree.

 

[SLY]

Aye. I was getting the wrong impression. Theres been dirty shit overlooked for both teams. I think the only reason this is even a thought is because it was after the final horn.

Nail on the head there good sire.

That's BS. Laich Tried doing the same thing Burrows tried in the SCF. HE's the one who puts his leg in front of Looch. He got what he deserved and 2 minutes as a playoff bonus.

Yes, he tried, b/c Lucic had crept two feet forward towards the blue line beyond the position he was supposed to be in. He knows exactly what he's doing there. He knows where the faceoff dot is. So Brooks is trying to take back his rightful position and Lucic pushes him to the ice. Because Lucic is a nasty, nasty dude. This is well documented - he had 100 more PIMs than Brooks this year. That wasn't by accident. Yet somehow you see a penalty there on Laich? Look at the vid. If your worst accusation is Brooks put his leg in front of Lucic, that's not a fucking penalty, Wayne. That happens on nearly every faceoff with guys jockeying for spots. What doesn't happen is that one of the players turns and dumps the other on the ice. That's a 2 minute roughing and a botched call by the ref.

So you're telling me that not only what my 20/20 eyes are seeing is wrong, but I'm also supposed to believe that Brooks is suddenly a nastier cuss than Lucic? You guys call the Caps pussies and say we're not as tough as the B's, but somehow we're the instigators as well. That has zero foundation in logic.

Just more rampant homerism from the guys in black and gold.

 

[elocomotive]

And I think the first two games there was bad shit from both sides that got overlooked. But in game 3, yes, I think we got a little jobbed.

So did Backstrom get suspended? I have been out of touch all day.

If he did I do not agree with it. It was a cheap shot but suspension worthy I do not think.

One game suspension for WSH's Nicklas Backstrom.

I thought the league was waiting until tomorrow to decide to rescind or not. He is automatically suspended one game, but the league can change that. Don't think they've made a call yet.
