2023-24 Bruins Season

Also, that 2-minute delay penalty for a failed challenge is pretty harsh!  Trying to think of an NBA equivalent.  Maybe a 3-shot technical?

Bad noncall on the obvious goalie interference—plus, you can't just push a guy from behind, right?

But there's plenty of blame for the Bruins too. They had some good chances to extend their lead, one of them being when DeBrusk successfully went 5-hole, but the puck slid wide of the net. Like, how do you get the puck between the goalie's legs but the shot doesn't go in? SMH

And the Bruins continue to have a hard time just getting the dang puck out of their defensive zone.

The refs have been atrocious. No question about it. But on the flip side, Swayman is a huge reason these games aren't even runaways to begin with. Florida has pretty thoroughly outclassed Boston since Game 1. Boston looks asleep for most of the game which is highlighted by the zone times and shots on goal which massively favor Florida. B's can't clear their own zones. That stuff is on them.

And did people see Sweeney's surprise press conference today? Smh just more signs that this is such a soft organization from the top on down. There are some elite players, sure, but there's a reason the B's choke a ton and only have 1 Cup in the last handful of years despite a lot of regular season success. And even that cup looks flukey when you look at the overall history, Tim Thomas was just a menace that season but we also had tough guys on the roster.

Games like last night are the reason why I stopped going to Bruins games. Blatantly obvious calls missed by the refs on ice and the clowns in Toronto at the headquarters. Toronto came out and said they didn't see the alternate angle of Marchand getting sucker punched by Bennett game 3. Are we serious here?? You got every camera at your disposal but somehow didn't see that angle?

This reminds me of the finals Vs STL when the puck went up into the netting and back down in front of goal and the Blues scored and they refused to reverse the call
