I respectfully disagree. There were a lot of no calls on Chicago but also a lot of no calls on Boston. The trip at the end should have resulted in a Hawks penalty but the goaltender interference in the 2nd period should also have been a no brainer call. At least the refs were actually consistent and let the boys play.
More importantly I hope Bergeron is okay and whatever is going on with Toews is not serious. Not that I give a shit about Boston but I don't hate Bergy like I hate Lucic and Jagr.
A lot of the missed calls were easy to say as 'that's playoff hockey', but that trip was so obvious... if that trip was a beach ball, I think Fleury could have stopped it it was that obvious.
That being said, Boston still played like shit for 75% of that game.
red panda red panda red panda!
If Bergeron can't return I'm not sure if this'll come back to Chicago for a game 7
1. I hope Bergeron is ok
2. I hope Toews is ok
3. I hate the "playoff" fans in this thread
4. Game of Thrones
The trip and kane's high stick to lucic's bottom lip were obvious. There were a couple hooking calls that should have been obvious too, but we'll see what happens monday. However I absolutely agree that the Bruins played like shit too much in that game. If they come out that bad Monday and Bergeron is out then it'll basically be Chicago's game.
Didn't get to watch any of it. Kinda sad I missed it - sounds like a pretty controversial game from non-biased points of view.
Speculations that Bergeron has a spleen injury, really hope thats not the case. Toews or Bergeron, the SCF wouldn't be the same w/o them.
Proper calls wouldn't have helped Boston tonight anyhow. Chicago's farm team could have won this game, the Bruins just played terrible hockey, that's all there is to it. Zero hustle.

Looked an awful lot like a back issue when it happened, though an internal injury could also be the case. When he was on the bench afterwards, he was just sitting there in a shitload of pain, you could see it on his face.

I don't think back injuries land you in the hospital (well at least they don't usually have you leaving the game in an ambulance), possible injury to internal organs would, which is why I've been so worried, but I hear he's out now
Given Toews' concussion history he might be done. Could be two huge losses for both sides but I think no Toews is more impactful given that he is the Hawks' best player at the dot and he dominated Krejci there last night. Combine that with the fact that the rest of the team is pretty lousy outside of Zus and it doesn't bode well.
Kings trade Bernier to Leafs for Frattin, Scrivens, and a 2nd round pick. Really surprised by that, I thought Reimer looked good, was expecting them to be in the market for a veteran backup to mentor him a bit, not someone to potentially take his place.
As for the game last night, I couldn't watch any of it due to work :/ What I've heard hasn't been good though, so we just gotta regroup, rebound, and win two in a row now!
