The final period of Game 5 was filledwith controversy.First, there was a goal that looked to be over the line that didn't count and then there was a non-call on a po sible penalty that gave St. Louis a 2-0 lead.In the first incident, upon video review of a shot, it certainly appeared David Pastrnak pushed the puck over the line past Blues goalie Jordan Binnington with 13 minutes left in the third period.Is that puck acro s the line? I Nik Stauskas Jersey know the play was whistled dead. Im just asking. Thomas Lott (@tlott33) But the play was ruled as already being dead due to a whistle being blown.In real time, however, it's very hard to tell which came first, the puck cro sing the line, or the whistle.Minutes later, the Blues got a goal moments after what appeared to be a trip by Tyler Bozak on Noel Acciari.On the play in question, it even appeared Bozak thought he was going to be called for a penalty.It may Robert Covington Jersey have been because he was complaining about the po sibility of a flop, but he certainly stopped what he was doing after Acciari fell to the ice.Bozak upends Noel Acciari Lucas Luke (@LucasOrLukeIDC) But, the Blues got the puck and eventually put it in the back of the net to go up 2-0.It was not a great five minutes forBoston in Game 5. Bruins coach Bruce Ca sidy was heated after the game.Those are the hits they want to get out of the game, correct?" Ca sidy told reporters. "Thats what I hear a lot about. Clearly, they mi sed a couple tonight. Its a fast game. I sat here two days ago or whatever it was and said I believe these officials are at this level because theyve earned the right to be here. You should be getting the best."But, I mean, the narrative changed after Game 3. Theres a complaint or whatever put forth by the opposition. It just seems to have changed everything. The no-call on Acciari their player is on his way to the box. Its right in front of the official. Its a slew foot. Our guys gone. The spotter took him out of the game for a po sible concu sion. I mean, its blatant. It had a big effect on the game. This has happened."Im a fan of the game. Its the National Hockey Leagues getting a black eye with their officiating in these playoffs, and theres another one thats going to be talked about. I thought it was a great hockey game. That call, probably theres time, but it really made it difficult for us to get the win tonight. So Im disappointed. So I gue s to answer your original question, it was egregious. But were moving on. Were getting ready for Game 6. Tiago Splitter Jersey Blues coach Craig Berube did not agree that calls were favoring his team."I dont agree with it, but it doesnt matter," he said. "Im not here to judge the officials and calls that could have been or couldnt have. They go both ways. There were calls the other way that could have been called and they werent."Bozak wasn't convinced he should have gotten a penalty but he wasn't complaining about the call either.It was just a puck battle, I dont know," he said. "I saw the puck there and went for it. He was down. I dont know really know what happened to be honest with you. Yeah, well take it.The NHL told reporters after the game, the Markelle Fultz Jersey non-call on the Bozak play was a judgment call."We don't make comments on judgment calls within games," NHL director of officiating Stephen Walkom said. "There are hundreds of judgment calls in every game. The official on the play, he viewed it and he didn't view it as a penalty at the time." Ca sidy though didn't want to just complain about the lo s.He was happy with the way his team responded."Listen we thought we got screwed but youve gotta keep playing and we did," he said. "We scored the next goal and gave ourselves the chance to win. We tried to rally around that. But moving forward there wasnt a Ben Simmons Jersey whole lot of, youre in the moment of course youre upset but I think players once they get back on the ice theyre not too concerned about that. So thats the way it finished."I thought we responded well. We pushed to score, we did. We pushed again, we gave up some odd-man rushes as a result. Tuukka made the next save to keep us in; unfortunately, we couldnt get it by him in the end."With reporting by Sporting News' Jackie Spiegel in Boston.
