ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Blues coach Craig Berube doesn’t sound too pleased with the officiating through three games of the Stanley Cup Final.
“We were the least penalized team in the first three rounds, and now all of sudden we’ve taken [17] penalties in one series,’’ Berube said Sunday morning at Enterprise Center. “I don’t agree with all the calls.’’
Penalties have continued to be a problem for St. Louis, even after the team vowed to be more disciplined following Game 1. In three games against the Bruins, the Blues have registered 17 penalties — an amount that exceeds their total from the opening round, matches their total from the conference semifinals, and is one shy of their total from the conference finals.
