The call was still blown. The 3 goals before doesn’t mean they get to screw that one up so badly.

They were blowing calls all over the ice for the entire game. It's the NHL.

cant be the playoffs because the leafs still have games left...

Badum tssssssss!

Leafs have made the playoffs 3 of the last 6 seasons. Hockey much?

More like 2 of the last 12, with no series victories since 03-04.

Dream on man.Bruins have 3 games at hand on Leafs to boot.

It's incredible how:

1) them usual suspects have such an allergy to the games-in-hand concept and generally talking, anything that puts numbers - ANY number - in relation to games played.

2) they also can't metabolize the huge difference there is between a team with a 709 pts% (Boston) and 629 (Toronto). It's a bigger difference than there is from Toronto, 6th in pts%, and Carolina which is 20th in pts%.

3) they brag because they're 8-2 in their last ten, when just not so long ago, they went for three weeks (= 9 games) without a regulation win. Stay humble eh...

To expand on this a bit, it should be a well-known fact that getting your free hand on a player from behind is likely to be called, even if you didn't hold, just like getting your stick parallel to the ice and waist high to your opponent from behind is likely to be called, even if you didn't hook them. Don't put yourself in that position if you don't want to be called. Schwartz clearly got his free hand on Forsberg's hand(s). The official was 15 feet away and looking directly at it. Schwartz brought it upon himself and likely committed a penalty, but even if he didn't he certainly did enough to make it appear to have been a penalty.

In the second period the Blues scored on a powerplay that resulted from a legitimate trip, but a trip that would not have happened if the officials had called the obvious slash on the Blues not long before. They got their goal from a piss poor officiating effort. Then, they let up three goals, including a shorty, in the third period instead of putting the game away. Nashville benefited from what could have been a bad call (but was still a bad idea on Schwartz's part).

Nashville beat St Louis last night, not the officials.
