I know there are not a lot of hockey guys here but when they were playing Philly all looked pretty good until the 3rd when there was some sloppy work and we gave up the lead but I am still scratching my head about what I think is a coaching problem. With about 1 or 2 minutes left, philly is up by one. We pull our goalie and are putting good pressure on theirs...Philly gets a penalty...after the timeout the bruins keep our goalie out? WTF? I was yelling at the screen to put that guy back, (we would still be up a man) the other team can ice the puck and you open the door to stray shots from 200'. Well within seconds that is what happened. We looked like fools...I was pissed. I am not a coach but it's one thing when you have two man up situation and it is 5 on 3 but 6 on 4 the ice gets too crowed when everyone in half the ice, its hard to move the puck...IMO he should stuck with 5 on 4 and left the goalie in, it looked like we were headed to a goal within seconds with 5 on 4 anyway. All the post game interviews online no one mentioned it. What was that all about?
