Bruce Boudreau’s frequently one of the most colorful coaches to watch during a big game ... sometimes literally.*
He’s provided some entertaining moments of frustration, with his ... frank reaction to a Mathew Dumba penalty ranking among the highlights of Game 5.
Whether you feel that Nino Niederreiter should have been called for goalie interference on a would-be goal or not, the Twitter consensus is that the call is becoming about as clear as what constitutes a catch in an NFL game.
With that in mind, Boudreau’s gesture spoke for us all after the tally was not allowed on Saturday:

Check out video above. It’s been a hectic third period, as the Blues aren’t out of the woods even after a nice Paul Stastny goal where he squeezed the puck through an unlikely window.
Here’s a shot of the interference in GIF form, too.

Even Kerry Fraser didn’t know which way to call the review, by the way. A bit of a mess for the NHL, eh.
(Oh, and the game is now tied 3-3, so check it out on NBC.)
