Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 5 - YOU BET WE'RE ALIVE!!!!!! Game 6 FRIDAY 7 PM at TD Garden

[KnightofBoston]

Just watched the replay, I don't see Bob showing any focus on his stick. I see his hands go up like hes wondering whats going on. I don't see him motioning specifically to the stick being knocked out.

Maybe theres a different angle I haven't seen.

He throws up his hands which to me is gesturing “knocked stick out of my hands”, that was the main disruption on his ability to make the save, when Heinen nudged his skate he barely moved and made no indication it bothered him.


If you were a goalie and had your skate nudged and then after had your stick knocked out of your hands just as the puck was coming, which interference do you think your brain would focus on?

 

[Bruinaura]

I am hoping that Brad can return but I also have my doubts. Just seeing him in the tunnel "bumping" the guys, they were so careful and it seemed like he was pretty fragile. I am glad they had his jersey hanging in the locker room and that he was there with them. Concussions are no joke, but the NHL is so serious about protecting against head shots, it really shows with player "safety" and their actions.

If it's a concussion, I'm surprised they let him fly so soon.

But I'm no doctor so

 

[nORRis8]

I don't understand the Heinen hate. Probably been said, he is the current version of PJ Axelsson. Never a bad thing.

Or Tenkrat

Nonetheless...Heinen and Coyle seemed to play a bit more nastier last night. Great to see.

 

[khanomcat]

I think the Bruins have some capable goaltenders in Providence that could be backups for Swayman .

Right. I want to say Bussi (think I have that right) is pretty good. Played a game or two for the Bs last year, I think.

Coyle's best game of the series.

Watch a youtube comp of goalie interference calls and half the time the goalies throw their hands up in the same way when looking for a call.

Theres nothing specific about it where he gestures to his blocker hand or the stick laying on the ice.

G6 Friday. I’ll be at Neil Young show in Mansfield.

He’s Canadien…surely he will have the game on the screen????

Maybe not. He’s a Sharks fan, I believe.

 

[Dr Hook]

Love Neil Young

Saw him at Great Woods in 90’s

Me too, Indigo Girls opened the time I saw him there. 1990 maybe?

fair enough but you didn't answer my question at the end

 

[Alicat]

2 days off will really help the B's. Why not us? Let's force game 7.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

I'd be pissed about any contact while I am inside the blue paint. My leg being pushed back forcing me to take a new position and try to reset, my stick being impeded. I would be pissed about the whole thing.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Glad I’m not the only one that has a working set of eyes.

You can’t make contact with the goalie in the crease. Heinen made clear contact with his stick/skate into Bobs right leg. Bob then had to move and try to reset a second or two before the shot came.

“He had enough time to reset” Hilarious. He also couldn’t keep his original position, he had to move because of Heinen taking up his original spot in the crease.

You can’t enter the crease, make contact with the goalie and take away his original position to make the save. That is a wild opinion to have

That’s goalie interference all day in my view.

A couple of ex NHL goalies, Martin Biron and Jamie McLennan both said that the goal should stand as Bobrovsky had enough time to reset. They are anything but Bruins fans.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Live another day

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

This game if I remember it was Debrusk, Frederic, Zacha and Geekie that each had all alone chances to extend lead and all their low shots were saved.. They forgot game 1?

Geekie had me yelling at the screen "nooooooooooooo!!!". He was all alone, all he had to do was hit the top half of the net and it's a goal.

And the final decision makers of the rules, the ones who come up with them and have to enforce them, said Bennnett checking Coyle into Swayman didn't impede his ability to make the save.

Everyone has an opinion

I believe I was there too. Was part of the show acoustic?

If he had a serious concussion no chance he flies down to Florida with the team. I suspect it's 50/50 he gets in for game 6.

No disrespect but ex goalies usually defend their fellow goalies, in this case they didn't, that tells me all I need to know.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Last comment I'll make on the subject in this thread since I already thought I wasn't going to elaborate but here we are.

This video sums up how I view the play. Same focus that I have on where the interference is.

 

[Number8]

Have agreed for a long time and hope the league does something offseason at their meeting.

Agree completely.

IMO it needs something significant. Like keeping a list and penalize players retroactively when video shows diving. First offense a fine. Second offense a game. No sunset clause. Rolls forward with you as you play each season. Would nip it in bud quickly.

League has established that if goalie has time to reset, then GI doesn’t come into play. Bobrovsky not only has time to reset but also come out of blue paint to try and make stop. He just got beat.

I dont think anyone knows what goalie interference is right now.
I think it said coaches are 1 for 5 in GI challenges these playoffs.
I personally wouldve called both Bennetts and Mcavoys goals for goalie interference. But nI have no clue how they are ruling these now.
I didnt even know you could challenge a goalie interference if it was your own player interfering- before the Bennett goal. I thought plays like that had to be called penalties during gameplay.

 

[LouJersey]

Who knew Geekie was a 1C?

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Yeah I can use it

You can both be correct. It would come down to league interpretation. How they see it. At the time. Today it's called one way, tomorrow another.
