How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Suban needs a stick broken across his face

Achey breaky heart after a goal? Lame.

Fucking game one and now game three these officials lick donkey ass

Go Leafs!!! This has been a fun series to watch so far. Lots of hustle and no quit. Probably helps that my kids are old enough to watch too. They really don't remember the Leafs in the playoffs.

Fucking hosed twice. The fact the Hawks aren't clicking on all cylinders is not helping but two BLOWN calls are part of the reason they're down to a bunch a punk bitches. Suban needs a stick on the back of his neck.

Typical loser Hawk bandwagoner.

I hate to blame the officials but they messed up big last night; you know it's bad when Pierre McGuire gets all over them on the NBC feed about the penalty called in OT last night that gave Ottawa a power play where they ultimately scored the game winner. Need to be consistent and call matching penalties where they did it earlier late in the third (and even that one was questionable) to let the players decide the game.

That said, Bruins came out flat at home in the first in front of a fired up Patriots Day crowd and were able to dig out of a huge hole and come back from a three goal deficit. They have to come out flying tomorrow.

I didn't see that game so I don't know the penalty but I would agree that they need to be more consistent but I hate "let the players decide the game". They should be consistent. All game. Every game. A penalty in the first period is a penalty in OT. When you "let the players decide the game" the game gets sloppy and players get away with murder.

In the Leafs game #2 the refs swallowed the whistles, until they didn't. Nylander was hooked and taken down in OT, no call. Ok, I disagree but whatever. A few minutes later (because they are "letting the players decide the game") Boyle blatantly trips a Capital and now the refs call it. Now, I agree, it was a penalty. But so was the trip on Nylander earlier.

Consistency. That's all I want. From the first whistle to the end of the game. Call it consistent and the players will learn what they can and cannot do. And they will stop doing what they can't do and the game will be better for it.

Fuck you I've been going to games since they were in the Stadium

Agree on needing to be consistent (also what McGuire was ranting about on NBCSN). What initially happened was a late third period bump after the whistle between Marc Methot and Noel Acciari; everyone moves in and Methot punches Tim Schaller square in the face, and then gets a second jab in after the linesmen move in. Both go for matching roughing calls even though Methot could have easily gone alone. Fast forward to OT and Riley Nash loses an edge along the boards and is down on one knee in an awkward position; Bobby Ryan goes in to finish his hit anyway and catches Nash hard in the head/upper body. Nash retaliates with a jab but gets called for the only penalty, and Sens score on the subsequent PP. If the refs are going to call matching minors late in the game in a borderline situation, they need to be consistent and call it again when it was more obvious. Ref was looking at the play the whole time as Nash had the puck along the boards, so it wasn't like it was something that happened behind the play and he only saw the retaliation.

One thing that bothered me last night was Washington took a penalty. The ref has his arm up and the Leafs had the puck, then a Washington player really blatantly hauls down a Leaf. It really should have been two penalties.

They completely ignored the second infraction because heaven forbid you call both penalties and give the Leafs a 5-3 late in the game. It was two penalties. They should have called both.

Well, you're among the minority. At least those Hawk fans who come here to get shitfaced stupid drunk and stumble around in the streets.

uggh game 1 we got screwed so hard. We got called for a holding the stick penalty that was way behind the play and didn't really affect anything. OK, that's fine, its by the book. On the ensuing PK we had 2 guys get sticks slashed in half and a blatant diving trip when we were on a break as the PP expired. All no calls.

Like others have said, I just want consistency. I don't care if you call a super tight game or a super loose game just keep it consistent.

Being from MN, I am not allowed to say anything about refs because apparently all we do is blame them.

As far as this series has gone, I can't say that I am very surprised. Down the stretch, any team that could block out the middle of the offensive zone was beating us pretty easily. The Blues have done that very well. Add that to the fact that Jake Allen is playing like he wants to hoist a cup and we are in for a bad time. Really disappointing after the season that we have had. Parise is the only guy that has shown up at his best when it matters.

No that is a Hawks fan of any vintage but I do hate the bandwagon assholes that wouldn't know WTF I was talking about if I said Campbell conference and have the flags shirts etc. I used to listen to games on the radio under the covers because home games weren't on TV.

Who was it that assaulted the Caps player laying on the ice with his stick with the ref watching like paid to watch the assault?

When? Last night?

Damn. That Leafs game was good.
It pains me but I'm cheering for them. I hope the Habs and Leafs meet up in the Eastern Final for some 'ol timey magic.

Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's

Or the ones who strut around saying, "We've won 3 Cups!" Got on that wagon after the first 3 I guess.
Maybe your boys will partake of some of our nightlife tonight.

I've been telling you idiots all year that these guys can play. Now maybe you'll listen to me.

No word from Captain Caveman lately. This must be eating him alive.

Anyway, I will root for the Habs for as long as the dream of a Leafs habs series still exists. If we go out this round then screw the Habs.

For what it's worth I predicted Caps in 7 for this series. Might still happen, Leafs did have Lady Luck on their side last night.

What the actual fuck Bruins?

If not for that turnover would have been OT and an epic comeback, oh well best 2 out of 3 now. GO LEAFS!!

We were really sloppy in that game. If we play like that we're done. Need to clean it up.

Ugly...the trap is no excuse, there was enough zone time to do something. Marchand is snake-bit, the big guns are getting chances but not capitalizing. Krejci looks like crap, he's not right and it's hurting the team imo. Rask played well again, he's been very solid but the offense didn't give him anything (literally).

I think they're the better team still, just not sure they're three straight games better. Friday is the biggie: if they win in Ottawa they're back in Boston for game 6 and then who knows in a game 7. but they've gotta start burying some ofthese chances.

Oh and McAvoy is the real deal. There are times when he's the best player on the ice, he's constantly making that perfect two-zone pass, pinching at the right time, and his defense has been solid. If nothing else this series has shown us that we can add him to Carlo and Pastrnak as the next wave of core Bruins.
