SCF: Boston Bruins (A2) vs. St. Louis Blues (C3) — BLUES WIN SERIES 4-3! CHAMPS!

[Magnum PEI]

Acciari flopped backwards. Bozak hit in the back of the thigh. Pretty obvious embellishment IMO.

Man, Jay Bouwmeester is possibly one game away from fully moving on the episode below when thinking of playing against Boston. Instead of that 9-0 blowout, his first memory about the Bs would be beating them for the Stanley Cup.

Or not. He left the game.

[Zoller]

Refs are having a career year.

Go refs go!

[Toonage]

Bad calls didn't help but the Bruins were guilty of over passing and taking way too long to make plays.

He left the game because he flopped so hard he hit his head and had to do concussion protocol.

This is honestly the worst take.

[bigrangy]

I thought it was a massive flop too but it still should have been 2 and 2.

Very strange.

[Brick]

Pathetic officiating.

Massive flop? Honestly have some of you guys never been on skates??!

There is no way he could have avoided falling and slamming his head on the ice.

[Scroopy Noopers]

He turns to his left, while shooting right handed, and has his left leg taken out from under him from behind. I guess those who think that’s a dive are lucky to not have had their skate tapped from behind. You go down easy, and it’s dangerous. Thats why it’s a penalty.

I honestly cant even believe someone could consider that anything but what it was.

It was a textbook slewfoot.

[Patek23]

End of the day you can’t score one goal and expect to win the game. Yeah it’s an unfortunate series of events but that’s hockey it’s not a perfect game things get missed and I’m sure the Bruins have benefited from other blatant calls as well *ahem*Krug*ahem*

NHL needs to fix the referring.

Call the flippin’ rule book. Referring in the NHL has reached diving in soccer levels of ruining the game.

#NHL svp + dir of officiating Stephen Walkom to pool reporter on Bozak/Acciari:

"We don't make comments on judgment calls within games. There are hundreds of judgment calls in every game. The official on the play, he viewed it and he didn't view it as a penalty at the time."

[Mass_nerder]

I didn't catch the game, but rewatched the slewfoot about 10 times; I don't think it was intentional, but I'm not sure how that doesn't get called.

Still, go Blues go!

Walkom can't defend kt because it's indefensible.

They have no one to blame but themselves.

[TheRealPepman]

Al MacInnis is about to win a Stanley Cup.
Craig Berube is about to win a Stanley Cup.
Jay Bouwmeester is about to win a Stanley Cup.
Daniel Tkaczuk is about to win a Stanley Cup.

Any more ex-Flames about to win on Sunday from the Blues organization?

Ok after seeing other angles it wasn't a dive. I saw this replay live, and it still looks pretty divey to me. Also what the ref woul've been looking at:

But this angle shows that it likely should've been a penalty.
