Enough with this Kaako number one smack talk. NHL is smaller ice, go with Hughes - no brainer duh.

Worlds: almost as dumb as world cup of hockey

Look, it's not even some irrational dislike of the Pats...this is about Marchand who is basically this era's iteration of a Sean Avery who can score a bit. We don't need classless morons like this in PROFESSIONAL hockey.

On a scale of 1 - Avery, I'd but Marchand at a 7 but I do agree with your overall assessment

He scores a 100pts so we put up with it

Yeah, sure. Which is what makes this even more frustrating. Marchand does NOT need to resort to that stupidity AT ALL. The Bruins don't win because of him acting like a complete idiot. But, he chooses to because well, he's an idiot. Classless idiot.

Agree. Every Boston fan loves Marchand The Pest, its honestly great to watch, but there have been multiple times over his career that he has gone over the edge and you just shake your head because he didnt have to do it.

As someone who watches the team on a regular basis, hes gotten better this year with the dirty shit, but the stigma will always be there and deservedly so

Krug should've gotten a penalty for that play.

I mean he doesnt take a single stride inside the offensive zone, keeps both feet on the ground and hits a guy playing the puck

Yeah.. Funny that they're trying to celebrate his antics, all I see is about 10 penalties that didn't get called, and a hit where he leaves his feet as he makes the hit... Old time hockey my ass

Oh look. Bruins score with 6 players on the ice.


I guess with the Sharks no longer in play for the NHL to gift a Cup to, they will do that for Boston instead. Gifting them with non-calls already.

Not sure how that is a "great" play on Krug.

Look, I hate the Blues, so before people think I have it in for the Bruins, this is not about that. Just calling it as I see it. Crap play and Krug should've been penalized...period. Horrid play. Cheap too.

I hate both of them, but not equally.

Was a good day, both baseball & hockey Boston teams lost.

The non-calls and calls in favor of Boston are blatantly obvious. Glad STL was able to pull one out last night. Sadly it looks like the outcome is already predetermined

Well, if there is a team that has the resilience, it's the Blues. They were in last place at a point this season.

Although, you hit a Bruin, you get suspended. A Bruin hits anyone, they are just finishing their check.

I'm never a fan of blaming the person getting hit, but he put himself in a very vulnerable position, Sundqvist didn't have time to let up. That suspension was laughable to me. Especially thinking back to last year when Wilson took Marchesault's head off in game 1 and then continued head hunting the rest of the cup final. Gotta love double standards...

Also, the 3rd goal in game 3 where Boston player was 3-4 feet offsides, NBC shows 5 different angles how he's offsides and Toronto says he's good

Some VERY questionable officiating continues... Makes it hard to enjoy watching my favorite sport

Yeah, good thing I'm thoroughly enjoying the NBA Finals right now. The Stanley Cup Final is meh. Horrid officiating...very unlikeable team in Boston and I cannot on principle root for the Blues. So, if I watch it for entertainment value, it's still ruined by horrid officiating. It's like if the NFL sucks at it, the NHL is like, hold my beer.

Blues played like a different team last night, back to how they looked early in this series. That early goal to get the crowd going by O'rly was huge. Definitely an entertaining game

Well, "nice" meaning, either the NHL "evened" their horrid calling earlier in the series or NHL officiating is just plain incompetent. The GWG was complete ...

Little late to the party. Does the NHL not have any targeting (retaliation) penalties?

Last nights finish was a nail biter!

Just calling it as evenly as possible...and FWIW, the Bruins should NOT be complaining given how they have gotten away with murder in the playoffs so far. Just sayin' that the Blues got away with one yesterday.

Well, St. Loo now has a tough one back in Boston. I think odds are, Bruins will raise the Cup.



And if they know what's good for them, the first "team member" Burjahron hands the Cup to is the ref.
