And he really doesn’t like bottled water... just keep that stuff away from him.

I thought Seaba$$ asked for a beer and wasn't thrilled he got water.

It also looks as if Bozaks stick makes contact with Acciaris blade/puck a split second before the trip which I’m wondering if that also plays into it. If a guy on a breakaway gets the puck knocked away first then is tripped afterward it isn’t called a penalty so ........ 🤷🏼‍♀️

that was changed a few years ago...it's irrelevant if a player touched the puck...a trip can and should be called...

and it def wasn't embellishment. if you've ever played hockey before and I know a lot on here probably have, if u ever get tripped like that its a complete yardsale. missed call. move on.

Did he knee himself in the head with the overzealous showmanship?

Yeah, its a trip, but was definitely selling it stupidly hard that he took himself out of the play as well.

This rarely happens but I agree with Ek here. Acciari tried to sell it and he didnt need to. fooled the refs. Good Hopefully STL closes this at home.

I know you’re right... especially if you’re leaning one way with your center of balance and then your feet are taken out from under you - it’s a clown show.

BUT... that doesn’t fit the narrative of how Boston was somehow complicit in the blown call, and hence, reduces the fun I’m having with all of this right now.

No was the dude? Or yes was the dude? That is the question, dude.

I heard "No was the dude" is opening for Grey Eyed Glances in Philly this weekend. Special appearance by Shania Twain.

He may have flopped a little harder than needed, but it was still a blatant trip.

I actually never noticed the embellishment of the other leg until you pointed it out. Nice catch. Was still a trip, yes but I now can understand the possibility of why they didn't call it.

Missed call, remember hand pass against the Sharks in OT? Unlike that situation Bruins had plenty time to tie it back up. They didn't... Blues in 6! Let's go Blues!!!!!!!

There was no dive, clear slew foot from behind, refs need to learn how to call a playoff game like they call regular season games. Stop "putting the whistles away", there have been blown calls all over the place in this years playoffs.

So because they missed the hand pass that makes this call ok? Sure the Bruins had time to tie things up but that still should have been called a trip.

No. What makes it ok is that it happened to Boston
