I’ve lost a lot of respect for the league and the refs. I felt this way in 2019 when the lesser team won the cup. Although it just sounded like sour grapes back then. How hard is it to do your job the same way every night? The same rule book, the same standard and not lose control of the game. I get the intensity level is ramped up but the same rules apply. As a ref you can’t look at a charge or a headshot or and an elbow to the face and not call it. We’d be a lot better off with more fighting in the game and take the instigator out, if refs aren’t making the players accountable a resident tough guy could make them think twice. I can’t understand why the league can’t see what’s going on and fix it.

Not a Kutherof fan BUT he took a vicious Xcheck within 2' of ref in the corner yet NO call!! Butman wanted Isle to win for the "Feel Good" story because of closing the dump they called home !

I’m a huge fan of tough hockey and I hate phantom or soft calls but that’s a far cry from what they allow in the playoffs. It’s usually a couple of soft calls a game and then bury the whistle. The serious hits that injure players are either a two minute call or not called at all. Meanwhile the injured player misses time or plays through and is ineffective.

I agree, what’s he supposed to say? But he truly is an idiot if he doesn’t deal with it in the off-season.

I actually watched about 5 minutes of the game last night. Weber chopped Kucherov in the back of the legs in front of Price. Dropped him to his knees. Right in front of the ref who was looking right at it...and no call.

The Bruins pick 21st in the draft this year. This guy is ranked 23rd. Wonder if they pick him to mess with KSJ Corson Ceulemans

That’s what I mean, none of us want a tap on the pads called but we can easily tell the difference between that and a two hander to the legs that is intended to do damage. I’m not even crapping on Weber in this case, why wouldn’t players do it if they can get away with it. It’s obviously always been a strategy to wear down the opposing top players and when the refs put away the whistle it makes the job a lot easier.

Wonder if they pick him to mess with KSJ Corson Ceulemans On a serious note, this could be a good time to come up with a first round steal at #21. I’m sure scouting departments were put in a tough spot this year with regards to viewing players and have a small sample size. Hopefully some gem slips through the cracks and falls to us.

I can’t understand why the league can’t see what’s going on and fix it. My thoughts exactly and the horrid refereeing led to my decision to stop watching the Bruins series. If there is no change to the way the game is called I may be done. It is simple really, if it is a penalty in the first game of the year it is one in game 7 of the stanley cup finals.

On Tuesday, the Portland Press Herald reported that it had confirmed the affiliation between the Maine Mariners of Portland and the Boston Bruins. The Portland team had been affiliated with the New York Rangers. This is for the ECHL.
The Mariners are expected to make the new affiliation official with an announcement on Wednesday at the team’s home arena, the Press Herald reported.
