Huh?

That play happens 59 times a game
- Santo_44

Chara does it every shift multiple times.

Need to kick it up a notch here really and yeah Matthews line is not going too well, think honestly Johnsson and Kap have been rather off for a while now even before playoffs. They need to all pick up their play though, save Muzzin cause he has been good layin the hits out on people. Hit Pasta again... harder!

Matthews being a passanger waiting in the weeds.

Here's something I posted earlier;

Here. Note that obviously it's a very small sample size:

If you look at only Minor penalties and exclude Bench minor penalties as well on a team-by-team basis for those teams in the playoffs. You would expect to see some level of increase in the rates given the amped up nature of the playoffs.

Vegas averaged 3 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 7.7 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 4.7 from their expected average
Colorado averaged 3.4 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 6.5 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 3.1 from their expected average
San Jose averaged 3.1 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 6.3 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 3.2 from their expected average
Calgary averaged 3.2 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 5.5 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 2.3 from their expected average
Nashville averaged 3.2 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 5.5 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 2.3 from their expected average
Pittsburgh averaged 3 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 5.3 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 2.3 from their expected average
Winnipeg averaged 3.3 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 4.7 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 1.3 from their expected average
Dallas averaged 3.2 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 4.5 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 1.3 from their expected average
NY Islanders averaged 3 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 4.3 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 1.4 from their expected average
St. Louis averaged 3 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 3.7 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 0.7 from their expected average
Tampa Bay averaged 3.7 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 3.7 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 0 from their expected average
Washington averaged 3.4 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 3.5 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 0.1 from their expected average
Carolina averaged 3.3 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 3.5 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 0.2 from their expected average
Boston averaged 3.4 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 2.5 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of -0.9 from their expected average
Toronto averaged 2.5 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 2.5 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of 0 from their expected average
Columbus averaged 2.6 penalties per game in the season, and have averaged 2.3 penalties in the playoffs. A difference of -0.3 from their expected average

So while only Boston and Columbus are averaging less penalties per game in the playoffs compared to everyone else in the playoffs, you have to feel for Vegas a little bit.

Thanks for doing my work for me!

Where can I look up the teams most penalized in the playoffs?

Bruins don't touch puck, blow it down anyway. What a (frank)ing joke.

These refs suck

Feel bad for Vegas? They were gifted a first round matchup against sharks goaltending

Svechnikov just got absolutely KO’d by Ovi in a fight ... oh man ...

What would have happened if the Bruin player slid into the puck to the net without touching it with his stick?

Riots!

Nice giveaway by Marner there.

Most of the Leafs look like a team intimidated. None of their skill matters if they play with fear. Boston's got 'em by the short hairs if this goes on.

SWEEP SWEEEP!!!!!!!!!!

Marner needs to stop these cute back passes in the middle of the ice, it gets picked off almost all the time, especially on the PP inside the blue line.

Rare little flaw in his game.

I think they look more like a team that doesn't want to make a mistake. I don't see any physical intimidation going on at all.

Yikes. Svech was out before he hit the ice.

Cherry didnt wanna admit his Bruins hit Marleau against the "players code". The one Cherry talks about all the time
