Wtf? Then the whistle when Bruins have it “to check on Bobroski”
No_Vanilla_6372
The refs.. I mean panthers are definitely gonna win

Please follow up on the stoppage after the goalie is out of the crease after a shot.. WTF these officials are absolutely in the Bag for Florida.

Now they just blew the whistle with the Bruins in possession to “check on Bobrovsky” for absolutely no reason. wtf is actually going on?
SwanzY-
always amazes me what are and aren’t penalties come playoff time
riko77can
Honestly, this camera angle is too far away and also an obstructed view to tell if he got his stick into the gloves or not, but a stick in the gloves as hooking is the single most consistently called penalty of the last 5 years.

Can’t touch the guys gloves with your stick from behind… without hooking

I don’t care for either of these teams. However, playoff hockey this year in particular is complete horseshit. There is very little skill involved. It’s basically who can beat the shit out of each other with the least amount of penalties.
It’s the only major sports league where the rules change from the regular season to the playoffs.
I’ve been watching some IIHF world championships. These players do have the ability to play more within the rules of the game to allow skilled teams to shine because they do it in world competitions.
I’m bored with all of it.

What in the fucking fuck was that “check on Bobsuckme” bullshit??

Sucks when officiating decides the outcome of a series…

Refs have been bad but hearing Boston fans bitch about the refs is *chefs kiss*
CapableCoyoteeee
Get some more shots on net. Play through the shit calls. Focus on what you can control.

You got a better angle?

Fuck I would nevercheer for Boston, but they’ve been royally fucked this series, it ain’t fair. That 2-1 goal they got could’ve been overturned. Total makeup call. Still not enough
CiderDog
The refs have made me sympathetic to Boston, and that’s unforgivable. They’ve been absolute trash in this series.
SauceKingHS
Yup. No consistency, just random arbitrary calls to manage the game as the refs see fit. I’m still furious from Vancouver Edmonton game 2, we would be up 3-0 in the series right now if not for the abysmal one sided reffing in that game. Just flagrantly, blatantly one sided bullshit. Now we have a top 4 D-man suspended for game 4 on a completely unfair, clearly biased decision. I’m honestly appalled at the refs and the league this postseason. 🤬

I hate the Bruins but the refs are royally screwing them this series. Surprised they allowed that goal. Everything is going Florida’s way.
ter_ehh
He can openered the puck carrier’s hands causing him to mis-handle the puck in the attacking zone.
Technically a good call.
Now, in light of the calls in this series, I see how Bruins fans don’t like this one, but in isolation, that’s a hook.
butwhyyyyyyyyyyymeee
I hate the Bruins… But, that ain’t it chief.
Creacherz
That literally happens on every play behind the net in the playoffs. Defenseman with their hand on a forwards back while they wrap around with their stick, Jesus.
I hate Boston, but I’ve been feeling for them with the calls in this series
ElegantCoffee7548
I’ve always hated Boston. Hate.
The NHL found a way to make me want them to win. The refs are CLEARLY in the bag for Florida for whatever reason.
GroundShxck
“playoff hockey” shouldn’t be a term, the rules for a penalty should not change just because its the playoffs. does the rulebook change in the playoffs? no. so then why should the call change. a hook is a hook
alexgardin
It looks like stick in gloves and he fumbled the puck. Thats a clearcut hooking penalty anytime.
Longtimelurker2575
Just a reckless stupid play, it’s playoff hockey, he should have cross checked him in the face.
Complex_Cranberry_25
Bad angle, but it does look like a potential hook. The problem isn’t the fact that they may or may not have gotten this one right. The problem is that this same exact play will be called the opposite way later in the game or the next game. The issue is consistency, and the refs have been painfully inconsistent all year long

Guys, you’re ruining the script.

All Boston fans in here
Opentobeingwrong
Isn’t it one of those can opener moves? He sticks it under the arm and levers it out using the body…
92True
What a terrible call.
Flyguyflyby
No one plays the victim better than a Boston sports fan.
WeirdViper
Stick got up in the hands. That’s basic hooking
Orangepinapples
My biggest complaint about this is very similar plays happened multiple times later in this game and weren’t called. Bruins were grooving at this time and the penalty just killed their momentum having to PK. Felt like a quick game check by the refs.
