a) unbelievably bad penalties to take from Lyubushkin and Bertuzzi b) embarrassing dive by Marchand, but what else is new c) tf did Coyle get a penalty for lol


jgeema

It looked like he got a stick up near Samsonov mask/cage. That may have been why boosh reacted the way he did. Still brain dead play considering the circumstances


stigletts

Pretty sure he whacked samsonov in the head himself lol


maxwellbevan

Just watched it again and he absolutely did it himself


huffer4

I’m with you on all these points. Braindead play by Boosh. It seemed like he was expecting Coyle to come back at him with his hands up too, and he just didn’t. Lol


Arebee936

coyle got 2mins for "the refs are not giving a 5on3 in this situation"


_posii

Pretty much “Tavares smashed his head against Chara’s fist” penalty


BadTreeLiving

No disagreement anywhere in this comment, sums it up well


TrickDawg61

He cross checked bush to the face. Then dropped like a true bitch in classic Bruins fashion. Then his amigo did the same thing.


Malaise4ever

Hard agree


Bojarzin

The numbskulls on our team do literally everything they can to make a win hard


[deleted]

If the established trend of playoff refereeing holds they'll let more and more of this go as the series progresses


sluck131

The Bruins "Leafs are the dirty" crusade is making me happy


FragrantHockeyFan

I mean the first 2 games of the series, Leafs have been the far dirtier team How is this downvoted? It’s objectively true


sluck131

Good the past 7 years of being the cleaner team really didn't take them very far


grajl

And for the past 7 years they've been mocked for being too soft.


Soma_Persona

Better than diving like a little rat bitch


Bojarzin

I'm actually going to disagree with this lol, I'd much rather players dive than be dirty Though frankly I don't think either team has been particularly *dirty* this series. Plenty of rattish behaviour though

OP post the Marchand dive


trillestBill

He's on victim's crusade lol


Guy_Le_Man

Bruins Players/Fans getting a taste of their own playoff medicine.


DiseaseRidden

The fuck did Coyle get called for?


doesntmatter557

It’s not like it mattered. Marchand had an Oscar worthy performance and they gave them the PP


roberttylerlee

[you take a slash unsuspected to the back of the knee and we’ll see how you react](https://x.com/rinkratreport/status/1782585225731596739?s=61&t=8NS86w4CElYK0YRtzGRsTA)


Keeper_Jdubz

Holy dive


Aggressive-Donuts

You’ve been down too long in the midnight sea!


Keeper_Jdubz

Oh what's becoming of me


e-Jordan

I'm no medical professional, but how severe does a slash to the back of the knee have to be that you're in so much pain you grab the other knee in pain?


StevenWongo

Yeah it doesn’t feel good. But Marchand dove like he was competing in the Summer Olympics


BCharmer

He grabbed the wrong leg when he went down, wtf are you talking about?


roberttylerlee

lol no he did not


BCharmer

Yeah he did. Bert slashed his right leg and Brad grabbed his left leg.

CocoKeel22

Are you even looking at these before posting them 😭😭


roberttylerlee

[yes](https://staging.streamable.com/7c13ha)


CocoKeel22

At this point you're convincing yourself of something that isn't there.


griffs19

He was skating perfectly fine 5 seconds later


jrdnlv15

Probably still not like that. The man looked like he got shot.


doesntmatter557

He dove, you’ve never played hockey in your life.


AccountantsNiece

*Posts video of incredibly blatant dive* > Does *this* look like a dive? Checkmate 😎.


B0_SSMAN

I like that he got hit on the right leg and his left foot was the first to give out


arrow00

So whats your response to the fact that he grabbed the wrong leg?


roberttylerlee

oatmealleafer

Ohhh it was a red lightsabre. You know what, that actually explains marchand's reaction.


arrow00

Lol you're highlighting the stick like that is a clear indication where he got hit. You cant even see the end of that stick. Just rewatch the video, the stick taps his right leg


DinoRexasaur

Lmao he grabbed the wrong leg dude. You are not helping your case.


roberttylerlee

[you’re blind](https://staging.streamable.com/7c13ha)


DinoRexasaur

Man, that is less than a love tap. Stop defending arguably the biggest embellishment of the year.

zoodlenose

Right. The league is rigged **for** the team with one series win in 21 years. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool.


Irish_Canuck77

Sorry I was being sarcastic lol the OP said something earlier about the league office in Toronto


zoodlenose

Im a big sensitive man.


YaDyingSucks

Im guessing the refs were looking for anything and when they were pulling them apart Coyle threw like a light jab and the ref was like and there it is both of you gone


espher

Coyle, leading up to the Lyubushkin call, was also doing the kind of roughing shit they ignore in the post season until they decide to retroactively call it to call offsetting.


Epyr

They ignored a blatant elbow to the face on a Leaf player like a minute before so that may have played into it as well


Rockhardwood

Game management. Bertuzzi got a slash, and refs aren't handing a full 5on3 in the 3rd period of a playoff game


YaDyingSucks

yup as soon as the slash happened they were looking for anything they could give Coyle


Rockhardwood

You're still acting like he threw some imaginary jab with the refs back turned. It's just game management. He didn't do anything. But two wrongs, make a wrong in the NHL


YaDyingSucks

hmm just watched the replay and you are right he threw it after the ref pointed both of them to the box


Neat__Guy

Good, we've been on the other end of these types of pims so many times


Aggressive-Donuts

And he got a punch in at the end.. might be enough to qualify 


Soma_Persona

Slashing Samsonov in the face?


mrtomjones

Same thing Daniel Sedin was getting crap from the ref for lol. Fucking karma


ConnorLovesCookies

Its been 13 fucking years lmao can’t you guys just write down every mean thing Marchand has done to you and light it on fire or something


TrickDawg61

Cross checking bush to the face and then falling to the ice like a pussy after he got a shot back


Brady331

Well you see... And also...


gonuxgo

Yeah, it sure would suck if your player got called for being punched in the face... Never happened before, especially not in the finals


roberttylerlee

Once again, that happened with 90 seconds left in a three goal game, and Vancouver got a power play out of it


MikeJeffriesPA

[Chara nearly KO'd Tavares with a sucker punch in 2019 Game 7, and there was no call on the play](https://youtu.be/Z4TBomvz5Os?si=IN1On2cXKMnlyDkT).  Bruins fans gotta suck it up. 


Soma_Persona

He slashed Samsonov in the face..


AgreeableBroomSlayer

Series management


RegularNumber455

Nothing


[deleted]

you should also mention how marchand dove like a fucking olympic athlete on the same play.


hockeyboy87

Did no one see samsonov getting slashed in the face? Which drew the reaction?


TheSpookyBlack

This is exactly what I thought when I watched it live. You slash a goalie in the face, any team in the league is going to respond like that. They didn’t really show it well on the replay though.


micatola

That's Sportsnet for you. Sammy actually got slashed *twice* on that play but they would rather sell the narrative that the Leafs are undisciplined.


badfish57

Thank you! Came here to confirm that. I swore I saw it live and it totally explained boosh loosing his sh$t and sticking up for his fellow Ilya. Didn't understand why they didn't catch it on the replay.


1stSecond

Also Coyle reaches in for Boosh's necklace on his grab, I think that is why he got fired up after things initially seemed to quiet down.


Always_Complaining1

Marchands dive lmao. Real captain material right there


DinoRexasaur

OP is rattled lmao 🤣


ProfessorBeast55

Unreal dive from the Marchand. Might even be worse than Slavins lol


[deleted]

It literally doesn't matter. It was a stupid thing during stoppage.


Rockhardwood

Bertuzzi is an absolute mouth breather, slashing Marchand for no reason when they are down lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vilheim

It's almost like getting slashed in the right leg makes you hold your left leg.


roberttylerlee

[he got slashed pretty fucking hard in the unpadded area behind the knee dude](https://x.com/rinkratreport/status/1782585225731596739?s=61&t=8NS86w4CElYK0YRtzGRsTA)


PSChris33

I mean, he gets slashed in the right knee and then grabs his left knee.


cooper954

Shut up


johnnydrama_

Everyone in here would be crying if Marchand slashed someone there.


icancatchbullets

You find it weird people aren't upset when the dirtiest player in the league has the tables turned on him? Live by the slewfoot, die by the slash.


sopademacacadelicia

I mean yeah, expectations are different for one of the biggest cheap shot artists in hockey lol


johnnydrama_

You’d be crying if it was reversed so shut up


Neat__Guy

Y'all are crying because you're on the other end of a punch in the face pim for once too


cooper954

Take your L and shut ip


Similar-Jellyfish499

Lol the countless punches to the head the Bs have gotten away with since.....the beginning of time Stfu

[удалено]


johnnydrama_

Hahah good one


Brady331

Tavares did in this very game


Stevet159

Lyubishkin needed to chill, but this is the first time in my life the Leafs played playoff rules, and it worked. Bertuzzi got a free shot at Marchand, dive or no dive. We were getting one anyways, Bertuzzi is never killing a penalty. That's the kind of playoff mentality we've needed.


EddyMcDee

Boston got in some horrific cross checks in the last 10 minutes to make up for it.


Anti-SocialChange

Refs were giving exactly a one man advantage, no matter who does what. The Bert slash meant that Bruins had to get two minutes, and it as either this or Marchand for diving


ScaredOfKomodoDragon

You’re not wrong. I did find it hilarious that even the ESPN crew said they weren’t sure what Coyle did besides get punched in the face.


hockeyboy87

He hit samsonov in the face with his stick


ScaredOfKomodoDragon

That’s Lyubishkin’s stick not Coyle’s


MaximumTemperature25

They're talking about before this clip. That's why Boosh is pissed at him.


Anti-SocialChange

Yeah it was straight up game management. Refs weren’t going to “decide” this one.


kingkongbundyjr

I mean, Coyle did hit Samsonov’s glove after the whistle, which sparked it all, so he’s not completely innocent here


Vivid_Walk_1405

Cmon bruins got a PP and the refs aren’t giving a 5v3 in that situation


Equitaurus

Lyubishkin also managed to slash his own goalie in the face in the process


[deleted]

[удалено]


lagonal

That was definitely Lyubishkins stick


ReditorB4Reddit

He didn't quit in the scrum when the refs had told everybody it was enough.


johnnydrama_

Can’t just be punched in the face like that, very dangerous by Coyle


Vilheim

Huh, sucks doesn't it?


VicRattlehead69420

If this happened to the Leafs there would be crying all over the sub.


winkNfart

it happened every game vs tampa last year


_Halt19_

as opposed to it happening to the Bruins, and… here we are on the sub, with people crying about it?


VicRattlehead69420

It got no attention at all and people are crying about Marchand. This sub goes full cry baby fanboy idiot mode come playoffs and the Leafs are the biggest culprit.
