If you play hard and take liberties they aren't going to put you 5 on 3 the whole game, that isn't the NHL brand. So use the playoff bendy rules to your advantage, that's what I see. I see Chicago doing similar actually, and LA sometimes.

I thanked this because it's an interesting point you make. I don't agree one way or the other.
So what you're saying is, the Bruins cross the line so excessively that anything minor - like a little hook to the hands or the opposing player stepping on a Bruin's stick - will be overlooked because everything else pales in comparison.
Interesting take. Thanks.
