After Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, and the St. Louis Blues’ 2-7 embarrassment at the hands of the Boston Bruins, Blues head coach Craig Berube called out the travesty of justice that was the Bruins power play dominance throughout the game. The bench boss noted that his Blues were the “least penalized team in the league in the first three rounds,” and has now taken 14 penalties through three games in the Final.
That’s an interesting claim, and it makes one wonder how he measures “least penalized.” If we assume unit consistency with his follow up statement, and that he’s looking at straight number of penalty calls, then he’s objectively incorrect.
