Anthony Travalgia: Marcus Johansson continues to make a big impact Marcus Johansson had two points in an impressive Game 1 performance Thursday night.

Funny that this entire article doesn't mention the Bruins getting outplayed through 40 minutes and then gifted with 3 weak powerplays in the first 5 minutes of the third...

Some things never change.

Also no mention of lizards, guns, chemicals, kangaroos or bratwurst.
As always the title matches the content of the blog.
Typical Anthony.

If all 4 officials didn't see the obscene hit on the Russian winger, they need to find work at the local 7-11. Midnight shift. Changed the entire game in a heartbeat. Disgusting is too kind a word to describe it. The fix was in.

Ahhh... people crawling out from under their rocks I see

^what is your objective opinion on the Kuraly vs Svechnikov issue then?

Same as my opinion when Krug was slew-footed. Likely a missed call... life goes on

It was a collision and Kuraly did try to avoid it but it was too late.

God damn... Every Bruins win and all we get is out of town fans spouting garbage about the refs... Carolina came in hot with stupid penalty after stupid penalty and they have a terrible PK. That is on them... If they are going to try to act like a heavy team they better be able to kill off a powerplay.

Boarding is a penalty. Elbowing/Roughing is a penalty. Honestly, they got off the hook on one directly after Dougies when Pasta took a nice stick to the face. A legit high stick. Not a Calvin De Haan acting job special.

Funny thing is that most the complaining are from other teams fans (like always)... Most the Canes fans are very level headed

Don't think it was a penalty but it was horribly timed with a weak call on Dougie. That was a yuck ill take it moment.

Dougie does look back and then get him high right in front of the ref. Would rather just see those go uncalled.

Officiating has been bad all year. I sometimes wonder if the officials train with Vince McMahon and the WWE. Bottom line is Bruins killed penalties and Canes didn't. Time to move on to Game 2.

Imagine having a team involved and still being objective!!

See this Leafs fans... It ISSSSS possible

I may be objective but still think Toucher & Rich are real tools for hanging up on Chip Alexander because of his southern accent. Please send them to Raleigh to do a remote broadcast. Please. Please. Please!

Fred Toucher is the one who hung up. Everyone else on the show called him a d-bag. And yea, it was a total a-hole move.

Wagners garbage time goal was just nasty!

100%

It sucks but officiating has been awful all playoffs long and it's just something you gotta deal with.

It only affects the outcome of a game if you let it.

I would rather the refs put the whistles away and not call anything except icing and offsides.

The bump back is never called, the Bruins (as well as other teams) do it all the time. Weird the ref decided to call it there, I think it was because the Bruins player did a good job embellishing the contact so the ref thought it was roughing. The Bruins have been making fools of the refs all playoffs, they are very good at it. Not trying to be a hater, it's a wily/veteran strategy and they do it well.

I just started taking a drink every time someone complains about the officiating either on tv, forums or social media.


I dont think I have been sober a single day since the playoffs started.

i love all you guys but we're at the point where the B's fans complaining about the canes fans complaining is outnumbering the canes fans complaining.
