It seems as though the quota for controversial officiating decisions has risen significantly – hardly a game goes by in any series where the referees don’t make a much-maligned choice. But the Boston Bruins have been intimately involved with several of these decisions.
Someone’s gotta ask this question. There’s no avoiding it. Have the Bruins been unfairly targeted by the referees this postseason?
In my laughably unqualified opinion, the answer is a resounding no. If anything, everyone is getting shorted by the ridiculous decisions that the refs have been making.
The Vegas Golden Knights would like a word with me for even suggesting that possibility.
