‘The refs didn’t help him stop a puck. “

No but they had a massive impact on the number of pucks he had to stop.

How so? I belive he stopped 37 shots. Would a “massive” impact have resulted in another 15 shots? Let’s say shot #38 goes in. They would have had to generate a lot more shots to make up a few more goals.

Perhaps a “few” more shots, but I think “massive” is a “massive” overstatement.

I don’t really see what you are driving at.

take game 7 against Tampa. Boston has an abysmal power play and penalty kill. Tampa was outstanding in both categories.

no penalties were called, despite some very blatant penalties.

Against the Canucks the same thing happened. Pretty obvious the NHL decided it was Boston’s turn.

Listen to yourself. Blame the refs? Everyone was in the tank for this except the Canucks?

The refs didn’t forecheck, take the puck and pass it to someone in front of the Vancouver net.

The refs didn’t kill those penalties that were called.

The refs didn’t skate faster to the other end of the ice to avoid icing or force icing.

The refs didn’t put the puck past a goalie. It is the goalie’s responsibility to stop the puck.

Vancouver played dirty the entire playoffs. The refs didn't help the Blackhawks out when we were getting cheap shotted by Alexander Burrows.

The Canuck fans take queue from their team, a bunch of sore loser punks.

Well, I guess the only thing worse than losing to a better team is to lose to a better team, and on top of that, delude yourself for the rest of your life that some kind of conspiracy was afoot to rob you personally.

Good luck with that.

Government schooling. Anarchists = Marxists and to them destruction of property or stealing is righteous living.

Bread and circuses...then riots if the monkeys feel like it.

I would bet that the rioters weren’t Canadiens, but the anarchist human trash that likes to riot in the Pacific Northwest.
