I hate sports interviews where the interviewer basically puts words in the mouth of the interviewee and then asks him to agree.

Honestly, blame the ice for that non-call last night. The ice was horrid, players were falling all over the place. As a ref, how the hell do you distinguish between a true trip and something as the result of the terrible ice? I would probably error on the side of not calling tripping when everyone is falling down.

I'm guessing it's almost impossible to beat a pro sports franchise from Boston in a championship series without their fans being aggrieved in some way. Their team was a pretty solid favorite coming in, so naturally the odds HAVE to be artificially stacked in the Blues' favor for the outcome to differ from their expectations.

Barbashev has a hearing with DOPS, fully expect him to be in the DOPS dungeon for game 6.



Hope Sanford doesn't get one as well.

It was a missed call for sure, but those happen. I don't remember Berube crying over Boston's goal with too many men on the ice in game 1 (where Boston won by one goal essentially, with an ENG).

Where is Chara's hearing? I saw him cross check a Blue in the back right in the letters about 2 or 3 minutes in.

And no one will care about any asterisks in 5 years. Only people in St Louis talk about NE's dirty Superbowl win against the Rams.

The Blues got away with one. Take it and run. Finish it out.

This is getting ridiculous. There is some responsibility for the puck carrier to protect themselves from injury. Barbashev went in for a routine shoulder check and didn’t target the head nor raise his shoulder.

I like that Cassidy was also calling Bozak’s trip a slew foot. He should know as well as anyone (with the master of slew footing on his bench) that there is an upper body component that clearly wasn’t present.
