[OOT] April 23rd: Bruins, Capitals Look to Advance to Round 2

[direwolf]

Ugh... Bruins are gonna blow this, aren't they.

[Yamer]

These kinds of reviews need to go. That's as incidental on the play as it can be.

Kicked the stick out of Rasks hand

Seriously?

He dragged him out of the way of the shot and took the stick out of his hand. All in the crease.

[Tbull8]

At least it was a quick review

No. The player makes enough contact with the stick hand and the blocker to impede Rask from getting across to make the save. This seems pretty obvious to me.

It was incidental contact. Clearly he was trying to play the puck while tied up with the Bruins defender.

I guess I just want the definition and parameters changed. That kind of play should never have a goal called back. It's just ridiculous.

If the goalie is in his crease he has to be able to have a chance to make a save. If the contact in the crease reduces that chance (and this should be distinguished from "incidental contact" which has no perceivable effect on the goalie's response to a shot) it pretty clearly should not be a goal. This seems cut-and-dried to me.

Man, the Marchand line just completely dominates every time they step onto the ice. Men vs. boys. I'm amazed the Leafs have been able to keep them off the scoresheet in this game.

Andersen is the only reason this series has looked this close.

[PugnaciousIntern]

I love how the Bruins kick a fwd to the mid blue line when one of their defencemen get the puck. Great way to engage the mobility of their D

[Erick Estrada]

Classic Leafs hockey. Tire fire in their own end relying on the goaltender standing on his head. Bruins will make one mistake and it ends up in their net.

[Beninho]

Leafs somehow miraculously make it through this series they are gonna get dismantled by the Lightning

Good call!

Totally undeserved lead by the Leafs. This period has been all Bruins.

I was just thinking that it feels like they just live in the offensive zone. 7 seconds at a time in their own end. Quick pass, gone. It’s something else.

[Violator]

This might be going to game 7

[Weitz]

Bruins going no where is rask won’t make a save.

Anderson is carrying the leafs.
