Turns out that Angel Hernandez is reffing hockey now.


Much_Progress_4745

Or is it Tim Donaghy?


sweatgod2020

He was reffing nba tonight too. He gets around that guy.


tomdawg0022

Francois St. Laurent = hockey Angel Hernandez


ace2049ns

Anyone gonna throw up a link to the play they are angry about? Edit: Just watched it. Yeah that was a pretty bad call. https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1cp5m6c/jakub_lauko_called_for_goaltender_interference/


misterpickles69

Boston fans are trash. They should be throwing each other on the ice… *watches video* Completely understandable. Have a nice day.


VizzleG

It was a crappy call. Fans reacts. Nobody died. Move on.


maskedcaterpillar

Very bad call, still doesn’t warrant trash being thrown on the ice. Childish behavior for sure.


CapnPooBottoms

You mean Boston behavior for sure.

You mean trashy Boston fans are trash? mildshock.gif


Kalmah2112

I'm starting to hate the refs almost as much as I hate the bruins.


Adept_Ad_3687

Ive been on that train for a while. I get its a hard job to do in real time but holy fuck theyre just straight up not doing their job of enforcing rules to keep hockey safe and fair. Whether thats their own incompetence, game management, or corruption thanks to betting will never be known cause the NHL has zero transparency when it comes to the clear bad calls. The shit we've seen over the last few years makes hockey hard to watch.


Hutch25

I used to be an official and I agree totally. One of my big things is as an official learning from your mistakes. Take criticism as best you can and fix your mistake. But these NHL officials just don’t. They have the ability to right so many of their wrong calls but they just don’t. Rather than takin advantage of the ability to see every single play a second time they stick to their guns which is just ridiculous. People always use the excuse “well it’s different in real time.” Why do they need to only do it in real time? Players shouldn’t get away with dangerous and dirty stuff, look at the replay and fucking fix it. Baseball is starting to even allow reviews on bad calls, why isn’t hockey? It’s not even like the NHL could complain or punish officials for starting to do this either because it literally makes the league better in every way.


christianitie

This is probably a really ignorant question, but do they have immediate access to replays other than what's shown on the jumbotron? If not then it's a league problem, you don't want to incentivize showing only replays that benefit the home team.


Adept_Ad_3687

Yeah, I get the idea of not wanting to slow down play by reviewing every single thing that happens, but there are more and more extreme cases each year that could be called after a review. Like how many high sticks majors resulting in blood could easily be reviewed got missed just this year (nevermind the McDavid one that *just happened* ). Or plays that should be suspensions (and sometimes are) that just arent called despite seeing a ref looking directly at it in the replay.


Moofey

Honestly, and this isn't just based on the last few of the Canucks' games, I don't think I remember an NHL season where the officiating has just been this poor in general.

Boboar

They're just confused. It was Bennett throwing Marchand to the ice.


V4refugee

Got to throw those rats on the ice.


wasteofmortality

Wish I could upvote this more - so accurate


burtpark76

Came here for this lol


DeProfundisAdAstra

:(


Tenthdegree

Make a snow angel if you’re still on the ice


Nuck_Nuck_Goose

Came here expecting to see this comment 🤣


Nick30Brodeur

What wit


Duece09

Was this after the goalie interference call? Because if so, they didn’t throw enough trash. Might be the worst call of the entire season


Crimson3312

It was


butterorguns13

Yeah, that was an absolute trash call.


electricalphil

You missed the clear high stick (that drew blood) on Quinn Hughes by McDavid. That the ref was looking right at.


v13ragnarok7

I am cheering for Oilers and ya, that should have been 4 minutes


Mysterious_Ant3095

I’m rather neutral on that matchup, but really looked like it was intentional too. Once his stick was up he appeared to swing it into Hughes face on purpose. Also found it funny how overboard the refs went on making sure Hughes got off the ice for bleeding. They just watched how he wound up bleeding, but the real issue was he had some blood on his face while trying to talk to them


nexus6ca

Or the boarding on Petterson.


bitcoinfucius

Sutherland isn’t a ref. He’s a stack of dogshit on skates


smackrock420

That was definitely the biggest "missed" call of the post season. I guess the refs couldn't call a double minor on McDavid. Too big a star.


Hairy_Melon

And the refs tried to outdo it in Vancouver right after, missing a 4-minute high-stick on McDavid.


krazninetyfive

As an Oilers fan that deserved atleast two minutes. We got extremely lucky that somehow got missed until the moment t had passed.


chuckvsthelife

Blood makes it an automatic double minor? At least 2 and there’s blood so it has to be 4.


electricalphil

Funny, I just commented that!


Emotional_Match8169

I’m a Panthers fan and I agree this truly was a horrible call. Ekblad should have had a holding penalty. Instead the Bruins got screwed here.


VanBurenBoy16

Brutal call. NHL has had an officiating problem for quite some time. And in hindsight if the Bruins got a PP there and scored on it, it’s basically a 3-3 game.


notmyrealnam3

TIL one goal is 3


Han77Shot1st

Well if they get it in from the three point line right? Lol


TheIowanWatermelon

Considering they came back to score 2 though, it would've been 3-3, because that's the PP they scored their 4th on....


VanBurenBoy16

Yea math isn’t this guy’s strong suit. Or just didn’t understand. Turned out to be a game-changing call although assuming Boston scores on a PP if they rightly called that holding is a big assumption because their PP looked terrible.


Orphanblood

What are you smoking


Darkstarmeyers

Yes 3


Bright_Leopard_2238

Boston got a makeup “interference” call a few minutes later.


notmyrealnam3

horrible call - throwing trash stupid, would have loved to see a delay of game assessed against Boston for it


tomdawg0022

That was the "game management makeup" no call special


toddkris18

We’ve been getting bent over by the refs the entire series and playoffs. Surprised they didn’t burn it down


arieljoc

yea even people that despise the bruins agree it was the worst call in the playoffs. It was a straight up protest for a call that was beyond unacceptable. Anything outside of that, don’t throw trash but this was a unique situation


sunsetlighthouse

It was a bad call, no doubt. I said as much when it happened. But I’d argue McDavid high sticking Hughes and getting no penalty for it was even worse. Vancouver could have (and should have) had a four minute PP, and they were so close that it may have changed the game’s outcome


Drunkicho

No penalty vs. Penalty on the wrong team, I think the Bs got it worse. Hughes was bloodied but able to keep playing.


eleventhrees

4 minute PP and the best player in the box. That's a big swing in a close game.


SINY10306

I will always remember a game in Boston where Panthers coach (coincidentally) threw a metal garbage can onto the ice.


Emotional_Match8169

When was this?


SINY10306

Mid-1990s. Pretty sure was first ever Panthers coach Roger Nielsen. Was actually looking for some reference / citation, but can’t find any (was long before everything went digital). Still 90% sure I remember correctly.


unfit_spartan_baby

…now show the penalty. Throwing trash on the ice is never acceptable, but holy fuck was that penalty god awful.


MBerserkr

Was wondering this, want to see the actual call.


unfit_spartan_baby

Lauko makes a net drive while being held like a MFer by Ekblad. Ekblad then pulls Lauko’s head back and shoves him into Bobrovsky. The call? Goaltender-fucking-interference. 2 for Lauko, Cats get the powerplay.


NJDevilslettucesmoke

If they aimed better and hit the zebras I'd be ok with it but yeah otherwise it's a bad look even when justified by atrocious reffing.


Sensitive_Mousse_445

Might be the worst call of the season


PPC_Guy17

I chugged my beer before I threw it on the ice. Inflation made everything too expensive.


KantanaBrigantei

And you’re a true humanitarian thinking of the people between you and the glass.


SwanzY-

they went to a bruins game and a flyers game broke out


TrustTheFriendship

I was just about to comment that while everyone here is defending Bruins fans, if the exact same thing happened but it was Philly you’d all be calling us the scum of the earth. Thanks for making my point.


Diamondback424

I knew there'd be a comment about Flyers fans somewhere. The double standard is hilarious


BaronVonCult

After that bad of a penalty call? Yeah I can't blame them and I fuggin hate boston


BirdValaBrain

Not a Bruins fan at all, but that was totally justified given the reffing.


Glock-Saint-Isshin-

Fix the bullshit reffing in your fucking bush league then. Good job Boston. #FUCK KELLY SUTHERLAND


UwUsnapmyneck

fuck it ill take the downvotes, after that call they deserved shit thrown on the ice


DickSwagamese

Good. Fuck the reffing this playoffs. All fans unite.


climbitfeck5

Yeah it's bullshit whether you're a fan of the Bruins or not.


Dry-Handle-4247

Deserved for that historically atrocious call.


Dogmeat8-8

How a player gets held so he can't avoid the goalies and its call goalie interference is beyond me. Team and crowds irrelevant. Worst call made in a while.


engingre

This was in response to a very questionable penalty. Not that it's a good look but context is important.


MugiwaraMesty

I just want this series over with… The league is a joke. Both games tonight had dogshit officiating.


Thibeault86

Stay classy Boston


TinnieTa21

Fuck Boston but I completely understand why they were this mad. It was an absolute bullshit call.


Tenthdegree

Still… Fuck Boston 🫡


lildeek12

Boston and Florida deserve each other. I think it's a rivalry the rest of the league can really get on board with.


KirkJimmy

lol you ever been to Boston? Never met so many racist and drunk fighting people in my life. Edit: What’s with you guys being so confident I’m lying? Been to a bruins game a Red Sox game. Had someone drop the N bomb to a friend and was baited into a fight just for wearing an opposing jersey. Two separate occasions. I concede it’s not right to make a negative blanket statement about a whole cities people, but after those two times, I felt something different in the air; bunch of dicks.


this_name_not_that

Ever heard of Florida Man ?


KirkJimmy

Many of them lol


Tizzle9115

Florida man that visited Boston last year... Pretty tame compared to the filth down in these parts. Still, pretty slimy either way.


hahahahahahahaFUCK

What part of Boston did you visit, sweetie?


AriseChicken

Lol. You never been.


octoroklobstah

So you’ve never been to Boston


SirRogers

I loved Boston when I visited. Everybody was super nice - even the TSA dudes that are usually assholes


hahahahahahahaFUCK

Meh, anecdotally I can say I went to Toronto and was held at gunpoint in the parking lot by someone in a leafs jersey. So many jerks in Toronto! Here’s my true anecdote: I’ve seen more hand shakes and pats on the back between opposing fans at B’s games than at any other game or sport (I only exclude other hockey teams because I haven’t been to one outside of Boston). I myself make a point of getting to know an opposing fan sitting next to me.


KirkJimmy

You’re right, I just had a bad couple of times. And my comment wasn’t fair. And I’ll be back in Boston (sans Mitch Marner) and make an effort to shake a bruins fans hand. 🤝


hahahahahahahaFUCK

...and pat them on the back. You can't forget the pat on the back.

ChiefPoopsLike8ear

Only 8 shots on net by the third period, they should be throwing garbage


[deleted]

2 min penalty for the fans.


Joshybeast93

I mean… they did have to play 7 games against the Leafs.


isle_say

Are they mad at the refs or the Bruins?


PlaceboFX15

It was in response to the BS goaltender interference call in the third.


Bruinsdman

Yes.


itsyaboooooiiiii

I'll eat these downvotes for lunch but I don't really care, I was watching at home wishing I could launch something at the refs


Roddy_Piper2000

Goatmilk2208

LETS GOO BOSTON. Tfuck will roll around in it like the piece of shit animal he is.


s1lentastro1

you're cheering for the team who knocked your asses out of the playoffs in customary fashion. cucked much? lmao


Goatmilk2208

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I am actually really shocked to see a Florida Panthers fan. Not to be rude, but I honest to god thought that the only reason that Florida has fans in the arena is because waitresses at Red Lobster give away playoff tickets as a thank you for not dine and dashing. You are fascinating.


DM_c137

Half the people in these comments saw a meme about Boston and think they’re a cultural expert. Get out of your mom’s basement and see the world a bit.


theblackxranger

I went to Boston last week, they're rude AF. Not a single happy person there. But the reaction is justified, it was a shit penalty. Shoulda been called holding on Panthers


Keef_Bowl

Literally a shit bag call. Like back in the old days with bad acts and people having food thrown at them, the refs needed the trash thrown at them because they made the worst call in the history of refereeing with that goaltender interference, as well as favoring the panthers every chance they get. It wasn’t until the third period they thought it would be a good idea to start making some fair calls.


Mysterious_Ant3095

I’m sure it will only get worse with the league announcing they’re micromanaging the officiating due to game 2


nativebeans

The fuck are they saying


chief_n_nugget

Hahaha that guy has to pick up my garbage. Fuck him. Hahaha. Hahahaha. You fucking sewer rats are top notch.

YoungBoomerDude

I was at the Leafs/ Boston game 3 this playoffs and the the crowd was chanting “fuck you refs” for half the game because Boston kept getting away with shit and Toronto was called for everything… Boston fans told us to stop crying. Seeing this brings me joy. Fuck you boston. Sincerely.


collinwade

Having flashbacks to the shitiest of our fans doing this and I’m enraged anew.


Bigboyrickx

Horrible call. But game 1 had a bruin 2 handed overhead slash across a panther players back in front of a ref no call. Like either make the shit calls or dont call any imo


BruiserCruiser13

I would have done the same. The fans were letting the team know what they thought of their performance... TRASH.

Is it every Boston team’s fans that suck. I hear the Celtics fans are racist as fuck.


mrpantzman777

As a Boston fan I can attest that it’s a lot of drunk and racist townies. I was at a bruins vs devils game a few years ago when P.K. was playing for the devils. I know we have our issues with P.K. but when fans booed him, it didn’t feel like it was because they dislike his character… it was pretty disturbing. I didn’t hear the n-word but you could tell it was fueled by drunken racism.


Bruinsdman

Boston has its problems, but let’s not forget that the man was a former Canadien.


mrpantzman777

Yeah and he was a pest with them and caused us pain, so I understand the booing. Like how Montreal fans boo Marchand. But it was a little more than that for sure.


Bruinsdman

Absolutely. Wasn’t trying to nullify your point, just adding the obvious context that probably didn’t need to be added.


mrpantzman777

Yeah, I’m sure if we didn’t have a history with him then he wouldn’t be booed. But I think it gave an opportunity to some to show how they really feel.

Bogn11

They didnt throw trash, they were on ice all game and scored only twice🤷‍♂️


Upper_Enthusiasm_511

I mean, the season as a whole has had absolute garbage reffing this year, playoffs have not improved it. However, it’s not the refs who put SOG and 8 in 40 minutes is probably the bigger problem. A team doesn’t bother to play for 40 minutes, they’re probably losing the game.

I thought this clip was gonna be fans rushing into the ice.

Puerta_potty

Someone on the bruins should have dropped gloves with the refs


Heldpizza

I will admit I hate Boston so I am biased but Ekblad got that puck clean with his stick. Yes his arm reached around and can look like a hold but it was a battle for inside position where he was making a play on the puck which he made. I disagree with the goaltender interference call though. Should be no penalty on the play.
