[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1796503, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/hockey/professional/this-time-around-noel-acciari-wont-get-tripped-up-by-blues/article_27c86fed-6370-55e9-a551-698875e5c1db.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/jthomas']Jim Thomas[/URL] Noel Acciari already had done a couple of offseason interviews in St. Louis after signing a one-year, $1.25 million free-agent contract with the Blues on July 13. So by the time the first week of training camp rolled around, the veteran forward made it clear he had grown weary of the subject. Namely, this question: “So was it a trip or not by Tyler Bozak?” “This will probably be the last time I want to answer this,” Acciari said. “But I do think he did. Honestly when I hit my head, I don’t remember coming to until later on the bench.” In Game 5 of the 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs, Bozak came in behind Boston’s Acciari in the St. Louis offensive zone. He reached with his stick for the puck behind Acciari, his stick got caught in Acciari’s skate. And down went Acciari. There was no tripping call by officials, and while Acciari still was lying on the ice, David Perron scored to give the Blues a 2-0 lead in a game they eventually won 2-1. The victory gave them a three-games-to-two lead in the best-of-seven series. (And we all know who went on to win the Cup.) The Post-Dispatch headline summing up that game, glibly proclaimed: “What a trip! Blues on brink of winning franchise’s first Stanley Cup.” Boston fans were livid at TD Garden, as were Bruins coaches and players. “That’s a penalty every time,” Bruins defenseman Torey Krug said after the game. “There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it.” [/QUOTE]
