Hurricanes' coach Brind'Amour still upset over incident in Game 4
The Boston Bruins were able to get the best of the Carolina Hurricanes in the two home games at TD Garden of their best-of-seven series.
The Bruins beat the Hurricanes 4-2 in game three and 5-2 in game four to tie the series back up at two games apiece. The series heads back to Raleigh for game five on Tuesday night.
The B's appeared to do an excellent job at getting inside the heads of the Hurricanes' players, especially Brad Marchand, who seemed to obviously rattle Tony DeAngelo, who let his emotions run high, to say the least. The Carolina players weren't the only ones who were flustered after the game, as head coach Rod Brind'Amour was still upset about losing his coach's challenge near the end of the second period.
Here's what Brind'Amour had to say after the loss:
Brind'Amour has had an attitude that the league and refs have made it their agenda to go against his Hurricanes team. He even went as far as to say that David Pastrnak was intentionally trying to injure Hurricanes' goalie Antti Raanta in game two.
The play that Brind'Amour was referencing is the 2-2 tying goal scored by Jake Debrusk on a Bruins' powerplay. He challenged the play for goalie interference and lost, which resulted in another man advantage for the Bs and also led to a Sebastian Aho double-minor high stick on Patrice Bergeron. Brad Marchand would eventually score the 3-2 and game-winning goal just 44 seconds into the third. The failed challenge basically set off a chain of events that lost the Hurricanes a game they were leading 2-1with 1:16 left in the second.
