Bernier was racing to get a puck. If he makes the slightest effort to play the puck, it is a not a major. What a fucking awful way to begin this game. So pissed right now.

Haha, wow. Turning off the TV now, might as well cut down on electricity!

Honestly, I'd support a rule change where 5 minute power plays end after two goals. It's just ridiculous that it can keep going and going like that, even though it worked to my team's massive benefit tonight.

Kinda feel bad for Bernier. If Scuderi hadn't turned at the last moment, it probably would have been fine. Still reckless, though.

Gionta and Scuderi both hit from behind, but only one gets called. Big moment in the game right here. Time for a Parise shorty.

They didn have too many replies of Gionta getting hit. But it didn't look comparable to Bernier's hit. If anything it would have been a minor. LA would still have 3 minutes of a major power play.

It's a good thing Bernier doesn't play for a team with crazy fans. He'd need to go into hiding and change his identity after this.

The play would have been stopped and the Bernier hit wouldn't have happened.

No that's why they have double minors and majors. Most will be a double minor but if there's blood and he's ejected it will be a major.

Devils had the best penalty killing in the league. Shoulda killed it.

Wouldn't play have stopped? Or at least unfolded differently if Jersey pulled a goalie for an attacker?

once they missed the call on Gionta it's old news. Bernier didn't have to be reckless in smearing Scuderi's skull all over the glass.

...Or the Bernier hit wouldn't have happened because the play may have been blown dead earlier.
