yesterday was rough for the refs. i agree the call on marchand was light (i bet they went to both teams pre game and told em no bullshit with goalies cuz the blues didnt try anything there), the missed high hit on barbashev shouldve been called and the missed trip too.

but i still stand by the fact that it was even otherwise. the refs were mostly consistent with "if it isnt the most obvious thing ever we arent calling it", and just getting consistency out of refs is usually enough.

look, the bruins won game one by essentially one goal after you take away the empty netter, and one goal they scored was with 6men on the PP. not alot of guys by the bench, actually 6 guys skating around. refs miss shit. its happened all playoffs.

the trip was missed. the first 3 games they reffed extra tight and it benefited the bruins, the last 3 they didnt call shit on either team and it benefited the blues.

for the most part, it seems fairly even in that regard.4

blame the refs yesterday, but dont act like every win the blues have is on the refs lol. that looks petty. everyone thought the blues would get blown out of the water and here we are 1 game from the cup

if they call the trip there, they better call the embellishment, dude flopped backwards like a fish coming to shore


the basketball and soccer guys even think it was bad

I'm not the only one that thought he flopped?!!?!?! I didnt want to post this but damn, he almost kicked himself in the head flying backwards. I dont care how bad you get slew footed, he knew there was back pressure and tried to sell it.

dude looked like they flipped the switch on the electric chair

Smh.. either way there shouldn’t have been a goal so what does it matter? It was a trip. Dude took his legs out from behind him with his knees. Acciari was going for a reverse hit from the look of it and that’s why it looked the way it did. Acciari isn’t one for embellishing. If it was Krug or Marchand sure, even Chara a few years ago when he was still trying to get calls. But acciari? Nah

im not talking about the goal, i could give a shit about that

He really helped sell the call but it was a penalty regardless. The Blues player reaction says everything lol. The Bruins are at the point where they might as well dive since even the dirty shots are not being called. Give Acciari an Oscar.

The no call on Acciari was a bad missed call but the Marchand penalty was the worst one of the night. The Johansson one was at an angle where the ref could have missed it but the league will likely be taking care of that.

This. And Krug who sold the "high stick" just before Bruins goal. I cant believe how this team got from one of the toughest in the league to this bs. Seems like they embellish 90% of the calls.
