The Boston Bruins got a raw deal Thursday — similar to the injustice absorbed by the Avalanche in Game 7 of its playoff series last spring at San Jose.
The NHL’s offside video review stinks. It was introduced to correct gross negligence but has become a grossly unneeded part of the game.
In the third period of a 2-2 game Thursday at the Pepsi Center, the Bruins’ Jake DeBrusk should not have been denied a goal 51 seconds after teammate David Pastrnak fully entered the attacking zone a half-inch before the puck. And with the Sharks leading 2-1 in Game 7 last spring, the Avs should not have been denied a game-tying goal because Gabe Landeskog was slow to enter the bench with one skate a centimeter or two inside the blue line while the teammate he changed for, Colin Wilson, legally scored the goal.
