4 on 4 for what? There’s absolutely no way goaltender interference should have been called. If anything, Florida should have been given 2 for holding and 2 for being an idiot by driving the attacking player into your own goalie.

Lost an edge??????. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Please watch the video again. If you knew anything about hockey and about ice skating you would know that you go where you point your toes. Dude literally was driving to the net with his toes pointed directly at the goal the entire time. He did not lose an edge. Ekblad was trying to force him to the outside and he chose to keep driving towards the goalie and went right through Bob and the net. He was not pushed into the goalie in any way shape or form. Look at his feet. He was driving directly towards the net and pushing against being checked to the outside of the net. At any time he could have turned his feet and avoided contact. Instead he decided to truck the goalie and the net. Goaltender interference all day everyday.

I’m a level 1 ref and still have a lot to learn. But on what world are you calling a penalty on Boston for this? Panther’s player took Boston down, no intentional interference of the goalie at all.
it's close, but Lauko (to the ref) forces himself under Ekblad and Lauko drops in like he's sliding into second base. 0:37 advance slowly, Lauko has his arm out as he's advancing to score, and that grab of Ekblads quad the ref sees from behind Ekbald is what he's using, since Lauko never intended to pull-up during that drive. I know ya'll onlysee Ekblad forcing down that poor, poor weak Bruin player, but there's more than meets the eye and they show satellite-level arena angles that do nothing but look like an obvious Boston no-call, instead of a cam from the benches that actually show Lauko's heavy contact level with Ekblad.
@@stratcat7456 I was fairly surprised it wasnt also a hold on Ekblad but Lauko isnt innocent here. Differing officials see GI more liberally than others (similar to roughing QB penalties), and these PO series' are being officiated allowing a lot of hard play more than previous years'. Players like Lauko know they have to make desperate, momentum-shifting plays when they cant get real SOG, and they (the B's) cant just bash their way through the series like before without Bergeron and crew. That angle the ref who called GI and overrode the other lineman who called holding musta thought that Angle-of-Attack Lauko had was unrecoverable and caused more contact with his arm extended out to Ekblad. If he didnt hang out his arm I dont see Bruins getting any penalty there, but he grabbed/hung-on Ekblads upper leg and committed to slamming Bobroffsky. Boom. Brady rule. Slightly overprotect the league's ice QB: the netminder. They would do the same for Sway and Ullmark
@@stratcat7456 Ekblad knows he has to protect Bob for this and all series'. Teammates arent that reckless with their special Keepers- they really dont want guys out-of-control slamming into the lower body of the netminder. No one attempts to do that (push opponents into their goalie at speed) as much as people think, especially just for a penalty. Goalies are easily injured and crucial to wins. Teams know it, League knows it. it makes all the difference to what Ekblads intentions are.
Yes you do have a lot to learn. Players must make an attempt to not plow the goalie. Offensive player put himself in a position to not be able to. Running a goalie should be a game misconduct. Have you ever worn the pads?
Game has been over since it started. Panthers have been dominating all game. And you make that call? Might be the worst call ive ever seen. Absolutely brutal call.
@@dfm-fn1qgmaybe tied. If that penalty doesn’t happen he possibly scores. Even if he doesn’t it’s a power play where the Bruins have an increased chance to score. So brutal.
Leafs fan here (yes, a miserable one)… and as such, I dislike Boston with a passion, but that call was total garbage. It should be a holding call on Ekblad and no call whatsoever on Boston. At worst, maybe one each, but just goalie interference? Un-f’ing-believable.
Am a Panthers fan and I never understood this call at all. I was dumbfounded that if only one penalty was to come from that it was for Boston. I would've given no penalties at all, because even a 4 on 4 favors the Panthers.
Certainly can’t blame the whole game on one call. We got outplayed for sure. But if we had gone on the power play instead of the penalty kill the momentum certainly could’ve shifted. What a load of horse shit. Not a fan of throwing trash on the ice though.
Worst call of the playoffs by far, we've seen COUNTLESS GT interference calls overturned during the season due to the opposing player being pushed into the goalie by the defending teams own players and then in peak playoffs we get this rubbish.
Habs fan here and I don’t like either team. But, seriously? Are you kidding me? That is one ridiculous call. And in the playoffs. Such a bad look for the NHL.
@@teapea8184As a Bruins fan I agree, they were doing the same thing in games 5 and 6 vs the leafs. Very very VERY small amounts of SOG going into the 3rd periods in that series. I can’t believe they made it past the first round to be honest. They looked good and hungry in game 1 against the panthers but they’re back to square 1…
@@bigfoot163 the only reason Lauko made contact with Bob is because he was held. He took a line right towards the net, so I GUESS I would be fine with penalties on each? But it's DEFINITELY not just a penalty on Lauko.
Panthers fan here, ekblad held the shit out of him. Also, I totally understand that the refs want to protect the tendys. And lauko was on a collision course with Bob regardless of ekblad being there. Should have been 4 on 4
Dan O’Rourke called Brayden Point on the exact same play, pushed into the net by the opposing player, in 2021. Then he got paired with Chris Lee for Habs/Vegas series and we all know how that went
While this didn’t lose us the game ( we played like shit ) I just want to say that the officiating has been dog shit for quite awhile now . I love how on the replay you can see Excblad ( or however you spell it ) clearly grabs Lauko by the jersey … and I mean CLEARLY. And some how the ref who was watching this play didn’t see the clear hold . This leagues officiating doesn’t cut it . If you’re gonna make a call you better be pretty damn sure you know what happens on a play . This is sick . It makes me sick that 4 pairs of eyes somehow go blind all at the same time . Enjoy the win Florida …
I’m not a Bruins fan. Florida is my pick to play for the cup. Lauko won’t need new drapes this offseason, Ecklund has that spot secured. Total blown call, but at least the refs are human after all 🎉
This was an easy one gone bad. Even if you add goalie interference, which you shouldn’t, you take Ekblad along for the hold and then you’ve got things under control and only look half wrong. Doing it like this makes you look like you need to find a new job driving the Zamboni or selling hot dogs.
Was there a coin toss to decide who gets the penalty? The inconsistency, throughout the league on officiating this year is perplexing. When you got Panthers fans, Bruins haters and analysts throughout the hockey community calling this out, you know there’s an officiating problem. 4 of them out there, and you get this kind of BS.
I thought this was a terrible call until seeing this video. Lauko ran into the goalie all by himself and made no effort to avoid. Ekblad is pushing Lauko towards the boards, not toward the goalie.
@@willacoleman8036 The rule states the skater must make an effort to avoid contact with the goalie. Instead, Lauko puts himself on a path straight for the goalie in the paint. He created a situation where the only way contact can be avoided is if Ekblad stops defending.
Bruins have every reason to be pissed. Ekblad was holding part of Lauko's jersey and yet only Lauko gets penalized?? Inexcusable. IDK if the game changes momentum had that been correctly assessed, but uh-uh. Terrible call.
Was a bad call. But not as big a deal given the score and shots on goal. Doesn’t feel like it would have made a difference. I think the fans were just mad at that point (they booed Boston off the ice after the second after all) and looking for something to take their frustration out on. I get why the ref made the call based on what he may have thought happened, but yah, was not the right call.
They had just put it in the best sequence of offensive plays of the entire game seconds before this. If Boston gets a power play or penalty shot from this, they keep their momentum and obviously get a good chance at scoring. Instead they go on PK, get scored on, and THEN put up 2 goals. If they converted on the PP or penalty shot, it would’ve been tie game and a whole new mentality for the Bruins. Obviously we can’t say this call is the reason we lost, but this call is definitely the reason we had no chance of coming back.
As a fan of neither team, it should have been 4 on 4 hockey, with holding on the Panthers and goalie interference on the Bruins being the calls. With the Boston fans throwing stuff on the ice, it could have been whistled for a delay of game penalty with Florida being on the power play.
Par for the course. Meanwhile, the Rangers are flopping like fish whenever a 'Canes player touches them. Then, the refs have the nerve to call embellishment on Carolina. It's obvious that the winner's going to be determined by the sportsbook.
neutral fan, and got no hate on boston but I disagree man. He lost an edge and knew he was most likely gonna end up rolling through the goalie. Ekblad had nothing to do with Lauko falling, all he did was make sure Lauko had nowhere else to go except behind the net or through the goalie. Lauko made the decision to pursue a lane that wasnt there. Just my opinion, so nothing to get mad about.
One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. To call Lauko there is completely unacceptable. And to have a ref call Ekblad for the hold then never report it is completely ridiculous as well.
Just terrible. This has to be the worst year for officiating in the NHL. This call is the epidemic of bad calls. Bruins can’t catch a break with the refs.

@@teapea8184 Sergei Bobrovsky almost did just that last year.
@@teapea8184As a Bruins fan I agree, they were doing the same thing in games 5 and 6 vs the leafs. Very very VERY small amounts of SOG going into the 3rd periods in that series. I can’t believe they made it past the first round to be honest. They looked good and hungry in game 1 against the panthers but they’re back to square 1…
@@teapea8184 how come the power plays are Florida has 17 powers plays and Boston has 7 than you idiot think before you speak
😅 I like THAT CALL ! You should have a whistle bud .
Worst call I've ever seen
Explain
@@bigfoot163have even the slightest clue about the game of hockey
@@bigfoot163 the only reason Lauko made contact with Bob is because he was held. He took a line right towards the net, so I GUESS I would be fine with penalties on each? But it's DEFINITELY not just a penalty on Lauko.
Either way the game was over before this anyway. At worst both should have went to the box. Dude definitely prob would have smoked the goalie
@@bigfoot163watch the video. Anyone with a single brain cell can see this is a hold on Ekblad
Can’t stand the bruins but holy shit terrible call
you gotta upload macdavid skating into ,i think, hughes when hughes is stationary and back is turned. And hughes get called for interference
This league is almost on MLB Umpire levels of fuckery now
I’m sorry, but no way he’s making it to the top of the crease from that angle, even with the hold.😂
Panthers fan here, ekblad held the shit out of him. Also, I totally understand that the refs want to protect the tendys. And lauko was on a collision course with Bob regardless of ekblad being there. Should have been 4 on 4
Ridiculous call
Bruh this and Bennet obviously punching Marchand in the head makes me side with Bruins and I fucking hate that
you don't go barreling into the net like that. Using the guy on your back as an excuse to bowl over the goalie. Refs saw the charade the whole way...
This has shades of Tim Donaghy…they intentionally gave Florida a PP to seal the game.
The Ref's must have been watching some other game......clueless.
i didn't see any bruins fans throwing themselves on the ice
The Bruins are getting Bruin-d. It’s poetic.
Dan O’Rourke called Brayden Point on the exact same play, pushed into the net by the opposing player, in 2021.
Then he got paired with Chris Lee for Habs/Vegas series and we all know how that went
Angel hernandez with skates
While this didn’t lose us the game ( we played like shit ) I just want to say that the officiating has been dog shit for quite awhile now . I love how on the replay you can see Excblad ( or however you spell it ) clearly grabs Lauko by the jersey … and I mean CLEARLY. And some how the ref who was watching this play didn’t see the clear hold . This leagues officiating doesn’t cut it . If you’re gonna make a call you better be pretty damn sure you know what happens on a play . This is sick . It makes me sick that 4 pairs of eyes somehow go blind all at the same time . Enjoy the win Florida …
The call came in from Toronto for Florida to be given all the advantages for the victory.
Rangers fan here. Yep Ref bet on the game...had Panthers -3 alternative line. Clearly holding and not goalie interference
The league would like to see your evidence.
Not a Bruins fan but that was a bad call! Holding all the way
The Panthers are definitely outplaying us, but this call SUCKED!!
The refs were absolutely terrible. Only thing worse was the bruins. Really just a depressing game all around.
I like when they kept cutting to a camera review from the fucking roof of the stadium for us.
I’m not a Bruins fan. Florida is my pick to play for the cup. Lauko won’t need new drapes this offseason, Ecklund has that spot secured. Total blown call, but at least the refs are human after all 🎉
2:32
P.J. Stock shirt 😎
The refs were almost as bad as Boston out there
Florida is allowed anything amd everything . Your team is NOT
Leafs fan, tuned in to watch a rat-fest but this call was absolutely brutal. One of the refs even signalled for a holding penalty! Wtf is going on.
I have no input in this series but that call is despicable. These refs need to be held accountable
This was an easy one gone bad. Even if you add goalie interference, which you shouldn’t, you take Ekblad along for the hold and then you’ve got things under control and only look half wrong. Doing it like this makes you look like you need to find a new job driving the Zamboni or selling hot dogs.
Ref doesn't belong on the ice. Needs to be cleaning toilets instead
Was there a coin toss to decide who gets the penalty? The inconsistency, throughout the league on officiating this year is perplexing. When you got Panthers fans, Bruins haters and analysts throughout the hockey community calling this out, you know there’s an officiating problem. 4 of them out there, and you get this kind of BS.
I thought this was a terrible call until seeing this video. Lauko ran into the goalie all by himself and made no effort to avoid. Ekblad is pushing Lauko towards the boards, not toward
the goalie.
In the video you can see lauko putting his arm out trying to make the dude stop holding him
@@willacoleman8036 The rule states the skater must make an effort to avoid contact with the goalie. Instead, Lauko puts himself on a path straight for the goalie in the paint. He created a situation where the only way contact can be avoided is if Ekblad stops defending.
Bruins have every reason to be pissed. Ekblad was holding part of Lauko's jersey and yet only Lauko gets penalized?? Inexcusable. IDK if the game changes momentum had that been correctly assessed, but uh-uh. Terrible call.
What are the repercussions for refs that fuck up this bad?
Typical Boston crybaby behavior. Lots of people with compensation issues out there in the North-east
Refs really shafting the bruins this year
horrible call but it didnt matter.. This game was over in the 2nd! Our D is AWFUL and you cant win with only 8 shots on goal after the 2nd!!
2:48 should have done this game three in Toronto after the two missed calls that lead to a goal
Was a bad call. But not as big a deal given the score and shots on goal. Doesn’t feel like it would have made a difference. I think the fans were just mad at that point (they booed Boston off the ice after the second after all) and looking for something to take their frustration out on.
I get why the ref made the call based on what he may have thought happened, but yah, was not the right call.
They had just put it in the best sequence of offensive plays of the entire game seconds before this. If Boston gets a power play or penalty shot from this, they keep their momentum and obviously get a good chance at scoring. Instead they go on PK, get scored on, and THEN put up 2 goals. If they converted on the PP or penalty shot, it would’ve been tie game and a whole new mentality for the Bruins.
Obviously we can’t say this call is the reason we lost, but this call is definitely the reason we had no chance of coming back.
I’m happy because I’m a panthers fan but this is bs
bruins fans threw themselves on the ice? woah that’s some crazy stuff
I LOVE the Boston Bruins… but it’s simple… and I’m gonna quote Shoresy… the boys don’t hate to lose
'that's embarrassing' it sure is. the calls changed with game 2.
Worse than the goalie interference call on Rempe, and that was terrible.
This was a really bad call to cap off a string of very if-y calls.
As a fan of neither team, it should have been 4 on 4 hockey, with holding on the Panthers and goalie interference on the Bruins being the calls. With the Boston fans throwing stuff on the ice, it could have been whistled for a delay of game penalty with Florida being on the power play.
Par for the course.
Meanwhile, the Rangers are flopping like fish whenever a 'Canes player touches them.
Then, the refs have the nerve to call embellishment on Carolina.
It's obvious that the winner's going to be determined by the sportsbook.
This has got to be one of the worst calls in NHL history.
neutral fan, and got no hate on boston but I disagree man. He lost an edge and knew he was most likely gonna end up rolling through the goalie. Ekblad had nothing to do with Lauko falling, all he did was make sure Lauko had nowhere else to go except behind the net or through the goalie. Lauko made the decision to pursue a lane that wasnt there.
Just my opinion, so nothing to get mad about.
Not goalie interference, defenseman drives him in, and after they hit the goalie, he goes after him like he didn't drive him into his own goalie
One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. To call Lauko there is completely unacceptable. And to have a ref call Ekblad for the hold then never report it is completely ridiculous as well.
Yes, so many times I see 9ne Bruin trying to get past 3 Panthers. Where's the rest ofthe team?
Just terrible. This has to be the worst year for officiating in the NHL. This call is the epidemic of bad calls. Bruins can’t catch a break with the refs.
