LOL, well done. great post
Brian Krupski good one!
I first heard that like a month ago and I've been using it at every opportunity lol. Great line
yOu mIsSeD sOmE cAllS!
I used it once or twice haha, but it would have been classic as fuck if after that goal they played that first during the commercial break.

Jinxed it

It's the Shannon jinx at it again 😝
Big OOF
Ill be damned
I feel the most sorry for the water bottle that Cam Neely completely obliterated against the wall. I send my condolences 🙏
What about the wall that probably has a hole in it and the guy's head in the next box over?🙃🙃🙃
You feel sorry about the water bottle what about the wall
Are you gonna eat that hamburger?
For all we know he clocked some poor intern in the head with it lol.
@@benwilson6559 ala Anaheim ducks and the chair
You're doing a great job man. Keep wearing whatever you want. Ignore negative comments. You're freaking awesome!
Cam Neely might be getting a call from the Red Sox tomorrow, looks like they found their new closer.
Nick Leblanc as pissed as i am that’s funny af sox bull pen blows
@@ericdesruisseaux8890 At least we won the World Series.
Yes but the Blues fought hard and Bennington was great. The Blues deserved the win, just maybe should have been in overtime.
Cam needs a Hamburger or TEN of them for that matter, that'll calm the bastard down. The Blues have shut them down completely, must be frustrating to watch his top 3(arguably the best line in hockey) get almost no output!
@@Nickleblanc41 Right.
..And the Super Bowl..both this year! --you guys have PLENTY to be thankful for.
St. Louis needs this one
Can't wait for these wholesome comments!
I hate you gary! : )
Bring back the Nordiques!!!
BOOOOO
Honestly? This is the one video of or about this game where I know most of the comments actually WILL be okay XD
It's count Dracula !
The refs really do suck this year. Missed calls everywhere.
For all teams, for Boston and against the Blues. A lot for the sharks lmao
Most I can remember in a single playoff as far as controversial calls
All playoffs long
As a blues fan I couldn’t agree more. It was no doubt a trip. These refs truly are blind this year.
they should check their voice mail
Hockey guy keep doing what your doing if it is what you love you have made a great fan base here
It sucks to be backes having to sit out against your old team in a deciding Stanley cup final game because they wanted to play 7 defensemen
He hasn't done shit all series though
Did you see his face during commercial break? He looked enraged!
Why did backes sit?? I felt weird wearing my old backes blues Jersey lmao
Backes has been on the decline for years now.
All Backes has done is get knocked around by his former buddies. He’s a waste of time and should have never been signed. He’s slower than Chara and he isn’t even physical anymore. Oh and he can’t score even if he had an open net.
These whole playoffs have been a mess; major penalty in Vegas, offsides review in Colorado, hand pass overtime winner, and now this. Wish my team the Blues could have won without this
The major penalty in Vegas and the offsides review in Colorado were technically fair calls. The fact that the LGK gave up four goals in a major penalty is inexcusable especially considering they were up in the series 3 games to 1 and blew 3 games in a row. With that said, the hand pass call against the blues and tonight's no call were beyond bad and game breaking. However, I can see this as a good thing for the Bruins in the long run if they use the piss poor officiating as a motivating factor to win the next two games like the blues did for the last 3 games in the sharks series. Time is a flat circle.
As a Bruins fan, I'll give you credit for saying you wish the Blues could have won without this. I honestly don't even know what to say after that game
@@soysaucehairdye7869 The one on Colorado was onside since Landeskog had his toe on the blue line when the puck entered the zone, albeit a very sloppy change. The Vegas call should've been a 4 min double minor.
Bruins had 4 PPs and didn't score tonight. How's that not the story or JB shutting the door?
Even the controversial goal was a bad one on Rask and idk what the Bruins defense was doing
I understand how Bruins are feeling. When that hand pass goal went in, I was devastated. For me, it wasn’t that the Blues lost that game but rather how it ended.
thanks for giving your honest opinion! we all appreciate someone who can be as sincere as possible. you let us know your biases, but you don't let that affect how you review the games. Keep doing what you do Shannon! Hope you make 100k!!!
To think that the only reason the Bruins lost the game is a missed call is short-sited. All you have to do is look at the shots on goal and know that they lost because they couldn't convert and Bennington was outstanding. Love your channel!
I wouldn't say that call is why we lost, but that call fucked everyone out of what would have been a good OT, I'm angry as a Bruins fan because that's tripping, and it's not the Bruins fault that the Blues aren't discipline. As a hockey fan, I feel robbed out of a great OT game. Congrats that your team won the game, and I hope theres a good series left
FFOG I also don’t think the Bruins would’ve won tonight, but are you saying it’s ok to watch games with awful officiating? Not just as a Bruins fan, but as a fan of hockey, I’m tired of this BS.
@@kairinsylvia7503 Marchand REGULARLY knees sweeps players. There are many CZcams compilations of this and many go with no call.
@@kairinsylvia7503 the Blues are still the least penalized team in the playoffs despite this series? Hello? Also, I don't recall the score being 1-1 when that play happened. It was still 1-0 in the 3rd period, not overtime. Please elaborate on how we were fucked out of a good OT game 5? Do you have access to alternate timelines that give you this information? I'm curious.
@@stevendeloose7534 ok, I don't like that either I like clean games not were stuff like that happens, Just because Marchand is on the Bruins doesnt mean I like his side antics, those should be called
End it on Sunday Blues you got this!
Refs need to not worry about “ evening up “ calls and just call the rule book. If you commit a penalty you should get penalized. DUH
CANuckFan become a ref.
That would put Marchand out of business...get real.
Anyone see Marchand try to low blow a Blue tonight? That shit was so dumb it made me laugh.
Refs are usually in an impossible situation. If they call everything, fans complain that they're slowing down the game. If they don't call anything, fans complain about missed calls. If they make "even up" calls, fans complain that they're making soft calls solely to even things up. If they don't make "even up" calls, fans complain that they're deciding games.
@@jarink1 Well said. People don't understand how hard being a ref is.
They let both teams play. The Bruins didn't take advantage of it when they had the opportunities. The Blues didn't stop skating when Binningtons stick was slashed out of his hand.
The Blues overcame it when Boston scored with six skaters on the ice in game two.
Ooh ya good point how soon that was everyone forgets
Boston fans upset at a slew foot? That's new. Didn't see any of them crying for justice when Marchand went low bridge on Tarasenko later in the third.
i was very surprised he didnt get a penalty there, but it didnt lead to a gwg. I wouldnt have been cool with that if it did, just like the hand pass.
wildgrem Penalty is a penalty.
At least 80% of the ''you have to let the players play'' people are complaining about that non-call
Nick Leblanc I hate those people don’t have rules then if you are just going to let them play. I never understand that.
That was a clear penalty, you need to call something smh
"Let them play" doesn't mean its A-Ok to trip the opposing players blatantly. It's about things like holding etc. Otherwise why not just have the players jousting each other with their sticks? Moron
@@yashamaga1319 not just a trip but a slewfoot, one of the most dangerous things you can do on the ice
As a Blues fan, I watched the eclipse from my backyard.
Sideswipe 009 me too. LGB
Same. In southern Illinois we had the longest duration of totality!
Same
There was an eclipse today or you guys fucking me?
Pens91 the one last year
Binnington was outstanding! You called it in game 4 review that he was due for a robbery game!
I'm really torn on how to feel on this. The Blues have worked too hard to deserve an asterisk and had to overcome the hand pass. I've been waiting my entire life to see the Blues hoist the trophy and to see a parade down 14th and Clark. My neighbor -- who I bonded with greatly because of the Blues -- passed away in December and had been a Blues fan since their inception. He just didn't make it long enough in life to see the Blues win a finals game, let alone be one game away. This is for him. This is for us. This is for Laila. This is for Bob Plager. This is for St. Louis.
Bozak tripped Acciari. Plain and simple. It was a penalty. It was an egregious example of the poor officiating in these playoffs. I feel bad for the Bruins fans out there. We've been there. I worry that Boston will rally around this mistake and come out and dominate games 6 and 7 much like the Blues against San Jose.
I want the Blues to win the Cup. I want them to deserve it. I want the focus to be on the turnaround, the city and the team. Not on the refs. The guys in Blue deserve better.
Exactly. Everyone will talk about this. If the Blues win, they'll talk about how they stole game 5 on account of abysmal officiating; if the Bruins win, they'll talk about how they rallied, back against the wall, after an awfully blown call in game 5.
I'm a bruins fan, and I don't think I'll be disappointed regardless of which team wins. If the Blues win it, outstanding; what a great story and a great season. If the Bruins win it, it's like it's 1970 again (I guarantee that if game 7 goes to OT, the winning goal scorer will leap in the air like that other old timey hockey player).
But I'm also a fan of the sport. This non call is the exact same thing as the blown pass interference call in the New Orleans - Los Angeles NFL game. No guarantee that had it been called it would have changed the outcome of the game.
I don't think the Bruins deserved to win this one. They looked dysfunctional, mishandling the puck, bad, careless turnovers, they didn't handle the pressure of the Blues well etc. I think Boston would have lost that game regardless, but that blown call really does tarnish the otherwise movie-like Blues story. At the end of the day, I think all Blues fans would agree that while winning is winning, if the Blues win this cup, there will always be that thought in the back of the fans' heads: "yeah but that game 5 trip man... did we win because of a blown call?"...
KORN 1999 i mean did you read the comment
Congratulations
As a Blues fan I'll say my piece...
Yeah, it was tripping, but not only was it given back but the Bruins stopped defending after that EXPECTING a call when the play wasn't blown dead even 3 seconds after that happened. Bruins gave up and couldn't come back.
Do I like winning that way? No. But hey. That's the way that shit falls in the playoffs. Hopefully Sunday goes way better as far as officiating goes.
if youre talking about Accari that stopped playing, maybe it was because his head got slammed against the ice from the slew foot. Im all for play to the whistle and dont expect penalties but that was a dangerous play and you cant hold that on Accari for not getting up.
@@wildgrem No I was talking about the 3 to 4 other Bruins that stopped and watched the play without defending two Blues players.
STL fan here. Absolutely brutal non-call. Hate to see it, but it's what happened. Boston was honestly owning this game. Binnington basically did a magic show for everyone with his 38 saves. I guess this is our make up no-call for the SJ series? I don't know, win feels kinda gross but the Hockey Gods are cruel. On to game 6, show must go on!
Bs fan and I agree with everything you said good luck to you and your team 👊
@@michaelaronchik1104 Thanks man. You never know, Blues came back and won the series with the Sharks after the hand pass debacle. Could happen here with your team. Being honest, I hope it doesn't. LOL But you never know!
As a blues fan I completely Agree with you
It isn't that controversial. Tripping rule:
"Accidental trips which occur simultaneously with a completed play will not be penalized."
AND the Bruins have no reason to complain, they scored a goal in game 2 with 6 men on the ice AND they had 9.5 minutes left to try and tie. AND that goal was Rask's own fault. That wasn't even a shot, he stuck his own leg out to block a pass and BLEW it.
wow. Everybody needs to look at THIS comment. They were both going for the puck and Bozak got his stick on the puck and Acciari backed into his stick...and tripped.Thank you.
Mad respect for the "play to the whistle" comment. Probably wont hear anything that unbiased from anyone else commentating.
Ion wow a Blues fan saying that, crazy
It was certainly a controversial goal. That being said, without Binnington this game gets out of hand. If the penalty is called, maybe Boston gets shut out. Who knows? There were missed calls on both sides, but ultimately the one that counted the most will overshadow Binnington's stellar game.
Doesn't overshadow anything...
@@carlbahre7246 No one outside of Shannon is really talking about Binnington's play.
@@danh5810Agree in general, we have all been talking about it here back home.
You’re the first person I’ve seen mention the whole B’s stopping for a moment in the trip. Had they not have stopped in their tracks, perron would not have had the room to drive to the Net how he did. No whistle, play on, simple hockey protocol
Exactly! Even though I agree 100% it was a horrible missed call, it seemed like in games 4 and 5 the Bruins would instantly look at the refs as soon as one of them went down. Stop waiting for the penalty calls and keep playing!
I hate to be devil’s advocate, but I don’t quite see it that way. The reason why everybody stopped skating, including Bozak himself, was because of how obvious it was. The players for both teams assumed that the call was about to be made, similar to when the puck went into the net at Columbus, and that was why they stopped skating. Sure, good on Perron for sticking with the play, but that was a penalty and is an atrocious missed call. Get it right and we don’t have these discussions. The blues still had a 1 goal lead at that point and there is no guarantee the bruins would have tied it up if they just got it right.
Agreed, missed calls happen every night, its how you respond to those calls that will determine your fate.
It was the same with the puck in the net in Columbus, 5 bruins waiting for the face off and the puck going in the back of the net, let the refs call (or not call) the game and play until the whistle like we have all been taught since we were 5 years old
@@haydenrogers241 When the 2 players involved stop playing for a bit to see if the penalty is called it's understandable. But when a whole team stops playing? To me, that's a sign that you are focused too much on what the refs are doing and not enough on the game.
That goal from sandford to O'Reilly was incredibly awesome.
It's too bad that's getting overshadowed by the officiating controversy. It was a great play. ROR has been on fire.
Great vids. Just want to point out 1) no call on Marchand going after Tarasenko's knees 2) no call on slashing stick out of Binnington's hand. Misses go both ways. Keep up the great work.
Chris Scalise lmao
MOST DEFINITELY. And notice how the announcers' lips were zipped for both incidents as well. Not a single acknowledgement of either play. Good eye^
Yep. The slew foot was a penalty straight from the books. No call made though, and the only reason anyone remembers it is because it was followed directly by a goal. There were, as there always are, missed calls both ways.
The slash in Binnington is a minor penalty at the least. Not positive what the rules are, but I'd say it's arguable the slash is s double minor for GT interference and slashing. But who cares? The shot following didn't go in, and if it did, I'm sure it would have received controversy rather than the none at all.
Even as a blues fan, I don't think the right call was made I also don't think that one call beat the bruins tonight. Boston had time to recoup and plenty of chances to bury goals, but they weren't able to for all but one shot. Bad call? Yes. Is it why the blues won tonight? Probsbly not.
I hope for a clean game whether the blues win or lose. Just a clean and honest win for either team.
is it sad that the first thing i said when i saw that play was "wow, bozak did a marchand"? in any case, bozak actually paused for a second or two after it happened and looked right at the ref expecting a call; he knew that was a penalty.
...or Bozac looked at the ref to plead to the obvious embellishment.
Carl Bahre wouldn’t say an obvious embellishment. It’s really hard to tell sometimes. Bozak was making a play for the puck and took out the bruins guy. Shit happens, it’s hockey
@@carlbahre7246 kinda what I thought. Bozac's stick was on the ice playing the puck. He didn't take a swing or anything. Maybe Bozac thought the contact wasn't enough to cause Acciari to fall like he did? Who knows.
@@carlbahre7246 I don't think I've ever saw a slew foot reaction so dramatic!! That guys a stunt man!!!
@@oelrichsr whether it was intentional or not I still say it's a penalty. It's not so much about the force in this case while he got the puck yes the position of his stick against the Bruins player likely changed the centre of gravity of said player slightly but enough for the guy to fall with no way of stopping.
Boston fans, Boston fans, oooooh Boston fans... for the first time you lost a game because of a bad call, off the top of my head, I can think of at least 3 games this postseason your team won after being the beneficiary of a horrible call or non call. Its happened to every team in these playoffs, and it finally happened to you. How does it feel?
hurricane3033 for real... utter Karma
Upvote so hard rn
pretty bad but is what it is we got outplayed so that sucks the refs dont suck its not their fault its the nhl fault. The league is run by retarded bafoons. Its a fast paced game and you know what Have one or two refs sit in the back lacking at video. Than all the other refs and linesman are equipped with walkies talkie to communicate with these refs. each time something like this happens those refs in the back simply say Aye we might wanna take a look over this. Imagine all the problems this would fix and it wouldn't slow the game down at all. Think about the conversations ref 1 can ask video referees if the puck touched the glass when it went out the ref could then say nope it did not therefore it is a penalty would take all of 15 seconds but the calls would be spot on accurate each time. Not the refs fault the game is so fast its the dumbass leagues fault. But to answer your question yeah its unfortunate and it happens to evreybody but what you gonna do boston is going to have to try to do something your team did in 2006 win the stanley cup on home ice.
I can’t upvote this hard enough. Fucking karma.
Was 100% a trip, which is a shame too, because Perron skating around 3 people to score that goal was beautiful, and no one will remember it for that.
Accidental contact. If you watch the play in slow motion, Acciari made an intentional Leg Kick on hit. Watch how much momentum his leg has when he goes down. For sure he tried to sell it.
@UC_k-15d5XiYN-olAGHltUKw Stop being a blind fanboy. I thought it was a legit hard trip until I watch it again. Clearly an intentional leg kick. Penalty for both sides.
Its easy to skate around 3 players that stopped playing expecting a call
@@TheHandHistoryVault with his back turned? Didnt know Acciari had eyes in the back of his head
TheHandHistoryVault “For sure he tried to sell it”. Are you that fucking stupid? The guy was tripped from behind and landed on the back of his head, why would anyone sell that? But go ahead and celebrate a win after the referees clearly assisted on it.
Love the content and your objectivity, from a blues fan. Liked and subscribed!
Lucas Phillips Another Blues fan here and I just subscribed as well. Love this channel. Solid insight and perspective.
My sentiments exactly.
You know what's funny? Nobody's talking about how there were BLATANTLY six Bruins players on the ice right before that 2:1 goal happened. Just watch the replay from different angle. And the sixth guy was nowhere near the bench at that point. Yes, that was a blatant trip, but saying it like it was something that overshadows Binnington saves, that is just bias and salt talking.
DeeJayObi was it because they had an extra attacker on the delayed penalty?
@@andrewgrant2948 Well, damn! I feel stupid right now. I completely forgot there was signalized penalty. Mea culpa.
I honestly got the feeling that Bruins wouldn't have scored if it wasn't for that goal. It felt like they got pissed and from that they managed to score.
That's been my thinking as well. I really doubt the Bruins could have won this game. It's pretty convenient for some fans to blame the entire game on a single call. So it's not the Bruins responsibility to overcome adversity? The Blues have overcome much tougher adversity than this and won. The "hand pass play" was much worse than this. I honestly think Acciari's embellishment on that play is why there was no call. If you look at the play it sure looks like he pushed off of his right foot after the initial trip. It was a trip, no doubt about it. Perhaps the refs felt Acciari tried to sell it a bit too much? Do you think Acciari wouldn't do something like that if he felt it could help his team win the game? That being said it sucks to see it happen. Controversy sucks, and the controversy in this post-season has been a big part of the story. Hopefully there is change that comes from all of this controversy. The series isn't over, and if the Bruins truly are the better team than they will win the series.
@@Adam202 It blows my mind that you think that's embellishment. You're being UBER biased.
I agree with you about Chara. Considering the difficulty Boston has had trying to generate offense, skating a proper 12/6 lineup is more important than having your 42 yr old captain with a broken jaw on the ice (for the record, this isn't intended as a knock on Chara..it's just reality). If Chara had been producing, I could understand. But Boston needed to shake up their lines & his injury provided the perfect opportunity. Instead, they excessively taxed an already struggling forward corps.
As to the non-call, I agree with your assessment that the refs were playing the "balance the calls" game. Nobody wants refs deciding the outcome of the game. But by not making that call, they did exactly what they were trying to avoid. It was too blatant, the idea that he embellished is ludicrous (he clearly was, if nothing else, stunned), and considering a ref is standing in that corner plus the penalty happening on the puck, I can't by the "didn't see it" defense. It was a terrible no-call that might very well be the thing people remember most about this finals if the Blues win.
Considering how this season went for St. Louis and how crazy these playoffs have been, it'd be a shame if that happens. Theirs is the kind of story true hockey fans love about the game. A tale of a season that nobody could have seen coming at the beginning of the new year, let alone the beginning of the season...
The 7 defender call probably wasnt solely because he's the captain. The two games they lost, they lost defenders early in the second period.
In the end, it may not matter. Time and the playoff grind perhaps has caught up to the Bruins. I figured they had an edge with experience but it doesn’t seem to be making any difference. Not playing to the whistle on a penalty that should have been called is the kind of mistake they shouldn’t make, but they did. I think they’re past desperate at this point. That’s why I figured making a significant change to the lineup might shake them up a bit. Give St. Louis a different look to defend. Chara being hurt this badly was the perfect excuse to do that. Like I said, Boston may be already past the bottom of the barrel. I hope I’m wrong. I don’t want St.Louis to win the cup. But it’s probably going to happen.
Glad you make great videos like this Hockey Guy, the feeling is mutual as to how helpful this channel is
Missed call? Yep, I think Bozak thought he was getting put in the box, as a Blues fan I hate it cause it over shadows the game that the Blues works so hard to play
I think bozak was pissed because he embellished that hit
Should have called them both - that was textbook embellishment, too.
Best comment so far
@@GodWeenSatan tell me how you embellish a slewfoot that you dont see coming
@@wildgrem He threw both feet in the air. How did hitting one foot cause the other to go flying in the air.
I agree, tho. Should have blown dead and the both go off.
Honestly the Blues had a pretty heads up play when they scored the second goal because they played on. Remember when they beat the Stars when Bishop was hit in the neck? Same play basically.
The Bruins line just stood there...only Krug was playing defense but the other 3...what were they doing?
Ok I saw a really good comment on the NHL’s game recap video so i thought i’d share it here:
Bruins: Lose the game on a controversial call, are pissed about it
Rest of the NHL: Awww, that’s so sad, Alexa play Gloria
I burst out laughing at this... oh so good.
Ok
I am a big blues fan let's bet Boston and play glory
Isn't it ironic how Bruins fans have been crying and complaining and saying the Blues are a dirty team? It has never been a problem for them that the Bruins team has been one of the dirtiest teams in the league for perhaps decades. The Blues aren't even a dirty team anyways, that's the thing. That has been the most bizarre part of the playoffs to me. Not the controversy, not the poor officiating, not anything else. It's the Bruins fans crying about supposed dirty play. I honestly like the Bruins team, I enjoyed cheering for them in round one against the Leafs. It's just plain absurd how a noticeable part of a fandom could be so hypocritical and have no self-awareness to speak of.
Ref misses 2 hits to the head and a slewfoot - boo hoo you still got 3 powerplays. Boo hoo, we are STL just playing hard *hurts Grzelcyk with a check to the head* "Boston is so fucking dirty and we're mad at the refs we got so many penalties gm3". *Hits two people in the head blatantly* - "Marchand should get suspended for that spearing, fucking rat" *Perron slash/run into Rask over and over and over*
I agree with you. It's taught in Mini Mite hockey, play until the referees blow the whistle. Period. End of conversation. If the Bruins don't quit on the play, maybe the puck doesn't go in.
Bruins fans be trippin!
lol
The Daily Life Of Jay in my school all my teachers are bruins fans and a year ago one of them talked so much shit cuz I’m a blues fan. I hope I can rub it in their face.
Hand pass🙄 As Berube said missed calls go both ways!
Parker Avenue
Still, refs are people too and make mistakes. Not siding with one guy over the other and yeah that was a handpass in the end.
It’s just refs are always bad guys to fans
t.sharks fan
Parker Avenue crybaby Boston fans.
Parker Avenue PLENTY of missed called for bruins too
How is a missed call in a previous round relevant in any way to this one? Yeah, there are missed calls for both sides, of course, but saying any other missed call in this game(against either team) is in any way comparable to this one(that led to a game-winning goal) is just wrong. I have no horse in this race, but you can't seriously be OK that, can you?
On top of that, if the exact same thing happened in the Bruins favor you'd be just as upset, so we're all on equal ground here as far as I'm concerned.
EDIT: Also, I'm in no way suggesting the Blues didn't deserve to win this game or don't deserve to be in the SCF because they do. I'm simply pointing out the damn shame we all must endure as hockey fans constantly saying "but what if...." Just sayin'.
@@LoveCage This. It's poetic justice. Hell, even Bozak knew it should have been a penalty because of how he came in on the puck. So they don't call it, everyone, EVERYONE is shocked, and the Blues score.
Meanwhile, Bruins fans are screaming about it while completely forgetting Marchand's move against Tarasenko + his "slash" aginst Binnington - really it should have been spearing, I mean, last time I checked whaling was still illegal but we are in Boston...so...ya know lol.
As someone said in a group I'm in, "Poetic Justice."
I'm sure there is going to be some very healthy and respectful discourse in the comments where ultimately both sides walk away feeling like they've learned something. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Blues season ticket holder, that was 100% a penalty and sucks that we won on that and don't get to see how it ended. Also good job by blues to play until the whistle.
@James Reilly Extremely stupid comment. The slew foot lead to a 5 on 4 which Perron scored on.
Yup. Pretty much all Bruins except that D man stopped skating cuz they were pissed off (rightfully so) and whaddya know there's 2 Blues going to the net, Bruins D man had to overcompensate for every one of his teammates that were too busy bitching, tons of room in front of the net, game over
That actually pissed me off more than the non call
Play to the god damn whistle plain and simple
@Parker Avenue ... So did the blown offsides call that not only led to a Bruin's goal, but then another one in game three, after the Blues were penalized for challenging the offsides, that the ref for some odd reason didn't call even tho it was obvious. Boston fans are just salty. The Blues are just a big, rough, physical, team that will punch you in the mouth and take your lunch money. The way hockey should be played. STOP CRYIN
@@doniphan72ify What blown offsides call?
@@wildgrem ... The one in game three that was an obvious offsides. It was challenged and even the announcers said it was offsides but yet the Bruin's were allowed to play on and scored a goal. Then the Blues challenged and somehow lost the challenge, got penalized, and then the Bruin's scored again. Neither of those two goals should have counted and it was obvious in that game at least, who the officiating crew wanted to win.
Blues fan here. Absolutely a penalty. But we could rewind back and see a ton of plays that would have been regular season minors. Blues played a better game after the 2nd period started.
Not a penalty. Good no call. That’s a strong stick play and a bit of embellishment. Good win.
Andrew Wilken If you were a player, would you purposefully throw you head against the ice? Acciari got injured on the play. You must be a moron who doesn’t know hockey.
@@erikmerced6329 I mean his legs fly up like a cartoon. If someone is trip they try to balance themselves, they don't fly up into the air.
Mr. Pants have you ever been tripped from behind on ice? You think it’s clean. A regular play would have seen the guy skate around Acciari and try to poke the puck free, but instead Bozak lead with his leg and slew footed him. I’m just saying, that was dirty af. I’m ready for game 6 anyway.
Just watch the play. Acciari intentional leg kicked on contact. Both teams should of got a penalty.
Shannon I really do appreciate what you do it’s emotional that ppl react this way
Looking back at your first videos when I first found your channel a few years ago. I am so glad you are still here. You inspire me to defeat my demons. Keep up the great work. It’s weird St Louis is up 3-2 :O
Congrats on 100k!
The only reason we’re talking about this is because the Blues scored. Rask probably should have saved that too. Also your not going to win a hockey game with one goal.
Blues Fan no but u can tie and win in OT that’s everyone’s issue
Great observation, genius. Do all of you Missouri inbreds have great takes like this?
What were you saying after the hand pass in the WCF? I’m curious
Blues Fan yes but if that's a call then you would also have one goal.....
NoVa we can’t all be as smart as y’all east coast snobs 🤷♂️
Didn't the Bruins score with 6 men on the ice earlier in the series?
We can't talk about that. It's only a problem when the Blues are scoring because of missed calls.
TheLegendJM
Actually, the 6th man had literally nothing to do with the Bruins scoring. He was two zones away from the puck, then retreated back to the bench before Boston even put up a shot. Unless you'd prefer refs to watch line changes instead of the puck, which is shades of Stevens on Kariya just begging to happen, I don't know what you want the NHL to do about it. Not every line change is going to be analyzed during play, especially if a 6th man had no effect on play to begin with. Slewfoots, however, especially on puck carriers, is just plain inexcusable. Isn't the NHL supposed to be cracking down on head injuries? Apparently not, since Acciari was concussed from the hit and he got accused of diving from a hit he didn't expect while his dominant leg was swept over his hip by a guy that had 20 lbs on him. Let's recreate this experiment and see how many times you eat shit, bubba.
The thing is, it's not a missed call or a blown call, he was looking right at the play. It's a judgment call, and the ref determined it was a play on the puck and incidental and let the play move on. If he calls it, I get it, if he doesn't, I get it. Doesn't mean I have to like it or hate it, but it's a Judgement Call. Stop with the blown call, or missed call. It wasn't a penalty that didn't get called, it was a situation that, in the moment (and there was a play on the puck), the ref made a judgment that play should continue.
Ramjambammam Dude
I'll keep that in mind when I officiate a hockey game and there's an egregious slewfoot that results in an injury. It's only my duty and responsibility to make sure the game is played fairly and safely, but what the fuck does that matter anymore? Every call I make is just a judgement call. I'm God out there. I'll only call penalty whenever the fuck I feel like it. Better yet, even if something is a judgement call, that doesn't mean that the ref is always going to make the proper judgement call every single time. Here, it's no question. Bozak's right leg is swept behind Acciari's left leg and his stick went between his legs as well. Textbook trip. Doesn't matter if it's intentional or not, if you EVER impede with a puck handler's ability to skate, it's a trip.
Every call is a judgment call. And you're just denying reality by saying it was Bozak's stick that tripped up Acciari. It was clearly his leg. This was a ref not wanting to call more penalties than he already did because he didn't want to catch crap from the Blues coach. Complete bullshit.
Just discovered you during this series and I gotta say I really appreciate what you do. Unbiased and with so much statistics. It’s very interesting. Keep it up! Also you must live way up north or way out west cause it’s still light outside your window!
Rename the Blues - The Bulldozers. I watched all the games versus Peg, Dallas & SJ. They might not be the best but they don't stop! They keep coming and coming and coming and coming....
Lol, have you ever seen a team with such a motor ? Goodness gracious, they're big enough to take on Godzilla, and mean enough to whoop his ass !!
They missed on a lot of attempted hits in period one though. Boston appeared to have adjusted. They were timing guys coming in along the boards well. Yeah, it caught up to them and St. Louis did a better job of it as the game progressed though.
You are totally right. They just keep hitting and hitting and headshotting and tripping and headshotting until the other team is beaten to a bloody pulp and have concussions! What a way to win games. Oh and if for some reason the refs start calling penalties on them for "dirty" play their coach will just whine about it to the NHL until it stops.
What a fantastic team! The * on the cup better be bigger than their name if they win.
@@sonofmar ... That's pretty hilarious, coming from a Boston fan obviously, and by DEFAULT is a fan of the two dirtiest players in hockey. One being Backes and the other, who bythway is on the list of the ten dirtiest at #1 Brad Marchand. The Bruin's in general are top five in dirty and reckless play. Unfortunately for them, St. Louis is much bigger than most of the Boston lineup and can't bully the Blues like they do to most other hockey teams. Cry me a river bro lol. And yes, I know David Backes used to play for the Blues, but he's not with us any longer and so therefore we no longer have ANY players who are on the dirtiest players list, nor is our team in the top dirtiest teams list either. Just big and extremely physical like trucks going up against tiny little Volkswagens is all hehe
@@sonofmar ... So yeah in light of the reality check I just gave you, don't come back with any excuses as to why your team lost the Stanley Cup Final...When Boston loses this series. Nobody wants to hear from a Boston fan. Nobody outside of Boston even likes you people. You're like New Yorkers, except with even WORSE and annoying accents if that were possible !!! Now go wash your ... KAAAAHHHHH
As always a great unbiased fact based video. Love the channel.
Thank you for your video. I am happy that your work here has made a positive difference in your life. We should all be so lucky. I hope you keep your passion, it is truly a gift.
Enjoy your videos. Keep up the excellent work!
Was it a penalty? Yes. Was it missed? Yes. Did the Bruins stop playing? Yes. Did the Blues deserve to win this game, despite the officiating? YES. Binnington and faceoffs were the difference, not the trip. Sitting Backes wasn't a good move, because they didnt need to roll 7 d-men. Haven't said all that, ONE TO GO!!!! LET'S GO BLUES!!!!!!
Stopped playing? They scored after that. And they dressed 7 D because they weren't sure what Chara was gonna give tonight. Its easier to double shift forwards than defense
@@xdestructutorialx They stopped playing after that trip, allowing Perron to just skate around them and score
Without the trip, were in overtime. At least the call didnt decide the game like what happened to the blues. The officiating has been awful in a lot of different series'. The non call didnt decide the game but it stings.
Thank you.
The blues deserved this win despite the supposed non call
@@ballski7 why would you say that. The Bruins almost doubled them in shots. Bennington is the reason they won. The Bruins outplayed them tonight.
Not one word of complain from the Bruins… The Blues have suffered more than their share of crappy calls and non calls to get this far: the hand pass which lead directly to a game ending goal - suck it up buttercup… Krug stream rolling over Thomas and knocking him out of the series ( yeah, that’s right everyone seems to have forgotten all about that…the complete BS suspension of Sundquist for a game for a hit that he was supposed to have avoided. The Bruins lost because they got out worked. Period. When the Blues complained about the refs we got called crybabies. If you want the cup then shut up and win the next two.
Except Krug's hit was legal. I don't understand why Blues fans bring it up. He literally did everything perfect on that hit. It sucks Thomas got hurt but it was one of the best hits I've ever seen. He had so many things he could have screwed up and made it a penalty, but he didnt
Daniel Kay I have a feeling THG would not pin this even if he wanted to.
Thanks for no spoilers Shannon.
Had to wait for the highlight reel to come up, you beat them to it by 15-20 minutes.
Get the NHL app bud
Great point, Play to the Whistle. Fair and objective breakdown of the Game. This is the Best Hockey Channel I have seen. I watch it everyday.
I’m pulling for the Blues for win, but let’s all be honest. That penalty occurred to everyone clear as day and should have been called.
Same as the hand pass in the SJ series was clear as day to everyone but the refs. This can't continue. And no, I don't have the answer. LOL
Should have been 4 on 4 since he embellished that trip
Eh, if anything that missed call energized the Bruins. Yes it was a 1-goal game before that but they were kind of dead in the water and not really making much progress.
The trip pumped up Boston big time, tilted the ice for them and helped them score and make it a 1-goal game again.
But even then tapping into all that residual anger they still couldn't equalize when it mattered.. So when all is said and done the Blues won fair and square. And let's not even get started on Boston's long history of questionable hits and non-calls... some would say 'karma'.
@@seabass7496 By landing on his neck and head?
The Hockey Guy is the G.O.A.T.
Amazing review. I avoid TSN, Sportsnet, NBC for reviews. Cannot stand them. Yours is by far the best by a LONG shot. Never change.
And you know this...controversy results in views!
could not agree more. Shannon is the best, period!
I actually like Keith Jones a lot. Other than that, yeah.
It was a bad missed call. I won't dispute that.
But there is NO excuse for the Bruins players to stop playing, when no call was made. They stood around on the ice(not literally. Being hyperbolic), expecting and waiting for a call. If they kept playing, they could have easily defended that chance. They stop playing hard, and let Perron walk in.
I also don't think the missed call was as bad as people make it out to be. Bozak was sideways, trying to stop. He had a Bruin behind him and couldn't do anything. His leg caught Accari's, and it was an unfortunate fall for him. Don't think he embellished, and yeah, it's a trip, intentional or not. I feel the refs may have felt it was incidental. People are acting like it was some super dirty play. It wasn't. It was a trip, but not an intentional one.
There's also no way to know for sure if Boston would have won the game. They may not have even scored the one goal that they did.
I think if that call was made, Boston still loses. It wasn't their night.
Accardi just sat there. I know he took a bad fall on the ice, but was he really hurt? He should have gotten up, he just sat there while the Blues scored, it was a bad look on him.
As a Blues fan, that was a missed call. No excuse, right in front of an official.
dseward1 actually 3 missed calls in front of a ref! Johansson got hit in the head with a shoulder. Krug same thing but his was definitely 50/50. And the slew foot/ trip. Marchand going low and taking out a Blues player. Probably so much more, but it shouldn’t be happening. Who knows on to the next!
dseward1 strong stick play. Not a penalty.
Andrew Wilken what play??
Andrew Wilken wait I get it, you must be the ref that was actually witnessed the whole thing right in front of you. Your using CZcams and an alias to cover your behind.
Come on now your sounding like a Bruins fan from five years ago.
@@andrewwilken9725 You will have to help me, I am over 50 years of age and only been watching hockey since 1979... What for the Love of God is a 'strong stick play'? There is no such thing! As a Blues fan, "IT WAS A PENALTY!" Please don't try to make excuses like it was ok. It wasn't, just like the FREAKING HAND PASS! A missed call is a missed call, whether it against a team that I cheer for (STL, DET, MTL or CHI) or it against a team that is playing one of my teams. A missed call is a missed call. A "strong stick play"? That's another way of saying "#21 Saint Louis, 2 minutes for tripping." Which Bozak knew because the first thing that he did was turn around and look for the arm to go up. That means a penalty is about to be called. I want to thank you, that made my whole night... A strong stick play.... Wow.
Regardless of the Shitty calls all playoffs...my favorite team in the whole wide world are one win away from breaking a 50+ year cup drought!!
Hope you guys win over Boston!

Do it blues
~sharks fan
@@logannighbor3282 look it up
Logan Nighbor the franchise is 52 years old, so it’s technically a 52 year drought
@@logannighbor3282 I think it is actually 51-years. the Blues have never won the Stanley Cup in their 51-year history.
I am a blues fan and in my opinion you have been remarkably fair and objective. I just discovered your channel a few days ago but went back and watched some of your older recaps. You do a great job and I appreciate it. I totally understand how Boston fans feel about the foul.
100k baby. Congrats Shandog.
Shannon, why didn't you pull the "no jersey" thing after Blues-Sharks Game 3?
Because he's a bruins fan. Give the guy a break. Its amazing he could hold it together to do a video tonight. If i had his channel i would've went on hiatus after the first round.
True fandom can't be hidden forever.
Because he didn't care who won, the hand pass was worse, but still sucks to be on the receiving end of a missed call. I just like how it was against Boston for once!
@@AtillatheHun I think the phrase was "My heart is torn over this play" or something like that from THG. The hand pass was not worse. A 2-1 series lead in the conference final is peanuts compared to a 3-2 lead in the Stanley Cup Final.
@@juliank3709 both led to 1 game leads, the difference is Boston had a chance to respond, the Blues had no chance since it was OT, plus the hand pass was the assist for the goal, both were terrible, one just slightly worse.
Love your channel, I share them all the time.
That was the same thing that happen to us(Blues) in the the San Jose series hand pass goal against us.
Bad refs tonight. Blues got a lot of help from the referees's non calls. Blues fan here, not complaining. 💙💙💙
Don't forget to mention to the Committee about hand pass reviews when goals are scored. Thanks
Donvolodya Trumpokov the blues did not get a lot of help, there was one missed call. literally the PP was in favor of the Bruins 3-1 so how were the refs helping the blues?
Another great video as always.... thank you!
As a Blues fan it sucks to win that way. (We here in Missouri once lost a football game because the officials gave Colorado five downs.) Amazing that it was the only missed call in the game.
And Colorado ended up getting a share of the national championship that year. Such crap.
Did you miss the hits to the head? There were 2 that weren't called
Jessafur Boston has been hitting higher than St. Louis all series. I’m fine if they call them as long as they call all of them. Robert Thomas is still out.
Play Gloria.
Boston had 6 men on the Ice for the Game Winning Goal...
Yeah 5 skaters and a goalie
Uh...might one consider that a non-call?🤔
After watching your other video after this, just wanted to say how much I appreciate this channel and what you do. All the negative crap is tough to deal with and you do a great job.
The Blues scored on what should have been a penalty. In game 2, the Bruins scored a goal on what should have been a (too many men) penalty. Its even now.
Lmao what? Blues won game 2. And the refs werent staring at the Bruins players?
Hmmmmm????
Boston fans don't like slew footing ???
Marchand slew foot people years ago, so this one is ok right???
@@joeyw8418
Yes. Everything bad that happens to the Bruins while that piece of shit is on the team is more than deserved.
Not when it leads directly to the gwg in the Stanley Cup Finals
@@pooty195
*Especially* when it leads directly to the gwg in the Stanley Cup Finals.
No they don't like slew footing, even if it's Marchand doing it....
It’s hard to be unbiased and this is the only video where I felt a bias. Yes it is for damage control and to spare yourself heat. Can’t blame you in this one
Nope Nope not wearing the winning team's jersey is poor sport on his part, regardless of calls
Ramjambammam Dude it’s different when he is getting personal attacks, he s one of the best hockey channels on CZcams and he is mainly a stars fan and had an excellent breakdown for all the games. He has some of the best content and his mood between this video and his re upload is pretty sad to see
GucciMoose alright buddy what did I say about the no call? Nothing. It should have been a penalty but welcome to 3rd period Stanley cup final hockey
GucciMoose it just felt a little that way as a blues fan. I know he isn’t but at fav value that’s the vibe it gave me at first
Man, I just want to say that I appreciate the way you handle controversy. You never have a crappy attitude and that's what makes me watch.
Two comments. First, there were LOTS of no calls tonight on both sides. Binny lost is stick for a while from a slash that I can't believe wasn't called, just one example. I also seem to remember a game earlier in the series where Boston scored with too many men on the ice, and that was a pivotal goal. Both teams have been taking dives/embellishing the whole series to try to get calls, but the refs haven't been buying it since Game 3.
Second comment, I have much respect for you and the way you do this channel. I don't think there is any problem with you saying you're a Bruins fan and showing some emotion. Just my opinion. Personally, I think that makes your thoughtful and fair analysis even better. So I say keeping doing it your way!
(Full disclosure, I am a Blues fan and I was showing much more emotion that you were during the game!)
Hit the nail on the net. Reffing seems to get worse every year. I don't know if they're buckling under the pressure or whatever it is but it gets more and more inconsistent every year.
And you know what really pissed me off about that game 5? The fact that the Bruins decided bitching about the non call was more important than playing to the damn whistle. And I'm not even a friggin Bruins fan. You won't see an easier goal in a series like this. The 2 Blues coming back down to the net had the easy task of exposing the 1 Bruin who was forced to overcompensate due to the rest of his teammates tied up with...more important things...tons of room in front of the net and game over.
For game 5 of the Finals that was atrocious altogether....
I think I'm going to get ratio-ed here, but I'm going to paraphrase a quote from the 1970s.
We can't assume that all the (events) that took place afterwards would occur the same way, and if they did who is to say that the (Bruins) would have (won in overtime).
If the refs get it right, and the penalty is called and the Bruins don't score, I don't think DeBrusk scores the same way he did.
*Just my opinion, and for the record, that was clearly a penalty
[but we cannot overreact and institute extensive video review now, everything looks egregious in slow motion].
Ed Dixon However, you could make the argument since hockey is a game of momentum and the bruins were pushing before the penalty. If it was called they score with the man advantage.
Just like how they pushed even harder after the DeBrusk score the same thing happens. Therefore they put another one in.
Or lets say it goes into overtime and since the Bruins probably are pushing and having heavy momentum by the end of the third. They score in the thie forst few minutes of ot.
But again you never know you can only theorize
Ed Dixon This is similar to the no call in the NFCCG if it was called PI. For all we know the saints could have turned the ball over. But I think that call is less egregious as the saints blew a lead and let the rams back in it. Also the saints could have stopped the rams on theor next drive. Not to memtion drew brees threw the an int in ot which blew the game. Agian the saints defense failed to stop the rams
There are endless possibilities that could have occurred from that point on. Bruins could have put up six after the call blues could have put up six. No one will ever know.
And folks were asking if Jake Allen was going to start after game 3... lol
"You miss 100% of the calls you don't call". William Shakespeare
Wait.......
Put on that Blues jersey! Keep up the good work Shannon, Nice follow up video with the Blues jersey on!
There were non-calls the other way too.
Looked like a Bruin could have been called for interference against Tarasenko a few minutes later.
That’s true but how many of those led to game winning goals
@@chriseno9863 there was plenty of game left...the game was still in question at the time. The blues could have come out of their defensive shell for the late 9 min and scored again you never know.
Missed/bad calls on both sides...as a blues fan have been on the wrong side too.
Something to consider is that the Blues were on their best behavior after their 2nd goal. You know the refs were dying to give Boston a power play after that to even things up and they definitely let that low bridge on Tarasenko from Marchand go to keep Boston in the game late. If the Blues get a power play there, they can very well put the game away.
Acciari absolutely saw the play, and had plenty of time to see it develop. In fact, his reaction to the two onrushing players was textbook..do not turn your back away from the play. In this case, he saw bozak and Carlo rushing up the boards, knew there would be incidental contact, and tried to sell the call which completely backfired. Look at Tukka glare not at the refs, but at Acciari for conjuring up such a distraction. Don’t let refereeing distract us from the absolute gong show that Boston has become during this series
Beautifuly said.
Shannon you’re amazing - big fan, former West Coaster watching from Switzerland 👍🏼👍🏼
What is Patreon? I was looking for the live stream all night on youtube..? will the next live stream only be on patreon or on youtube also? I still think this goes to game seven.
Thank you for talking me off a ledge with your calm voice Shannon lol. Still pissed but now I can breathe
He is right probably should have been a call. I'm a blues fan and I'm real sorry man. Your bruins have been our greatest challenge these playoffs and I really didn't like the win just because of that trip.
Jayden Engel if y’all win it won’t be because of this solely, both teams have played well. Enjoy it if you win it, but yeah it is a bummer haha
Shannon why is this the one where you don't wear the sweater? The amount of controversy in this playoffs and this the one you decide to change your tradition for?
He is a Bruins fan. He was pissed ok?? He said he was wearing what he was wearing for comfort...
Yes! Been a Blues fan since I was a kid. No worries about the jersey--it's great that despite watching your team take a really difficult loss on a controversial call, you still wore a hat of the opposing team and gave a great analysis. Overall, thanks for adding something great to my enjoyment of the playoffs this year. I'm going to send you $10 on Patreon.
And please keep wearing jerseys! :)
Keep your head up, Shannon. I know it's rough when your favorite team loses in the finals, but you guys are still in this, don't give up just yet!
"Only shot that counts is the one that goes in "
That's from my Highschool coach.
Also, "a goalie protects the net, not the posts."
Quote from the same coach.
Three quick things:
1. Yes, ask Calgary fans about the Bolts' "asterisk" Cup win in 2004. Flames fans love to lament that disallowed goal in game six.
2. You absolutely hit it on the head at 14:30. As someone cheering for the Blues (more for certain players to win, than the team as a whole), we absolutely got robbed of the true ending of that game. Maybe the result of the game would have been the same. The Blues could have killed the penalty, maybe even scored a shortie. Who knows.
This is like playing a video game with multiple endings, and because of one bad choice, you get the 'bad ending' instead of the 'true ending'.
3. Shannon, you are the best my man! The best! I'm sorry for all the emotions, I'm feeling them too. But thanks for your channel, and keep up the excellent work!
I hope you applied that same logic to the Sharks after that hand pass. Unlike all other Blues' fans crying conspiracy.
@@benwilson6559
You mean with respect to "being robbed" of a true ending?
Yes, absolutely.
I understand, bad/missed calls are a part of any sport, and you have to play through them. However, when big moments like that, that have a major impact on the game, somehow go 'unnoticed', it is very egregious in my opinion. Ruins the whole vibe. Even if the end result is still what I was hoping for, games this important shouldn't be ending on such a sour note.
@@lazylank Completely agreed.
Great vid. Appreciate your honesty. Hate the game ended like this...and if we (STL) are lucky enough to win the Cup my fear is this will be remembered more than the incredible run. Sigh...
On the jersey: no worries - totally get it. As long as you wear it after Sunday’s game 😉
And sing Gloria with your cat...
just found your channel during these playoffs. Awesome stuff man Keep it up Lets Go Blues!
Gloria! Yes, it is unfortunate that another awkward call leaves a blemish on a great game. We've been on that side, and it is incredibly frustrating, understand that. We don't want that either; everybody just wants an honest game. Still proud of my Blues for battling hard tonight- regardless of that call, they played well and dug in for that win. It's an amazing feeling to know that we are actually just one win away from finally getting to raise Lord Stanley to the skies. Stay strong Blues! Keep the drive alive! #BleedBlue #LGB

If you watch the replay from behind them where the ref was standing Bozak's and Carlo's legs are both right there and I think the ref couldn't tell which one of them tripped up Acciari.
I can’t believe the amount of people in the comments complaining about him not wearing a Blues jersey or that he’s biased. This man has given us incredible, and almost entirely unbiased content every day for this entire postseason. Definitely more unbiased than NBC, SN, or the NHL network have been.
His favorite team just took a heartbreaking defeat in game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals, and right after he came and made this video for us. He didn’t have to, he chose to. And instead of whining and moaning about the call, he gave his opinion and left it at that. Give the man a break. He, once again, put out a fantastic video, and he doesn’t deserve any of that BS.
Truth
You're the best hockey man on CZcams, Shannon. You always keep your neutral outlook even when you're angry or heart broken and I really respect you and your opinions. If the Bruins weren't so hated I'd feel worse for them but even then I know It's awful for both sides when it ends on controversy. But the best teams have to overcome these things and the series Isn't over yet. Boston can still show us they're a champion team. I just wish these controversies are gone soon.
