Even if you make the case he tagged up (I'm not sure he did), he still would've been a sixth man on the ice.

Agreed, initially I thought when they were reviewing it they might tag CO with a delay of game in addition to waving off the goal.

This is the type of shit that make people gripe with the stupid offsides review thing. That’s a good goal, period. You can nit pick at the toe on the line thing if you want but you can’t change my mind that that goal should have counted.
One thing worth mentioning: Landeskog’s comments afterwards were those of a true captain. In what is surely an incredibly frustrating situation, he handled it with class and poise. Really impressed with him.

I hate the offsides rule in hockey to be honest, I know why it exists and I have been there done that but it still drives me crazy. Wish it was like soccer where you have to have at least one defender between you and the goalie (in the oppositions end) to receive a pass and take your shot. Course then we'd have reviews to see if McDavid's skate was a quarter of an inch closer to the goal then Karlsson's so who the hell knows.
Agreed on Landy, so classy - both him and Bednar.

What’s your beef with the Bs? I like the Blackhawks and I feel like they played a pretty classy Stanley cup against each other
|
They always beat the tar out of my Whalers growing up. Basically it isn't a real hatred, it is just that from the time I was old enough to enjoy hockey the Bruins always beat my team so I just cannot get myself to root for them unless the oddball situation happens and their winning somehow benefits a team I like in the standings!

i agree with this, some of the stuff he does makes you throw your hands up and I'm surprised it hasn't hurt the team more.

I can't fucking stand him as a player to the point where I want him out of the league. Like, I loath the dude.
But a good friend of mine whose brother-in-law used to play for the Bs talks about how much of a good person Marchand is off the ice, and how great his family was toward him when he and his wife were going through some tough times.

I have heard he is a very kind and generous person of the ice.
As for his play, my buddy is a Bruins fan and he compares cheering for Marchard to when carl Everette was on his Red Sox, he couldn't stand the guy but loved the production.

Because they'd be immediately scared away by either a Bruins or Flyers jersey! :)

Chaara looks flat out old this postseason, guys are going around him easier than a knife through butter. Sad to see him slow down so much because in his prime he was one of the greats.

This postseason, I honestly would not bet on squat.

Easily IMO.
