GDT: Game Three: Boston Bruins At Toronto Maple Leafs (7:00 PM EST - SN, CBC)

[TonsofPuppies]

What a demoralizing goal on Sammy. All that momentum gone.

Yep. That's a killer for sure. Leafs worked so hard and for so long and had to make a literal perfect play to BARELY get one by Swayman and Sammy allows a shot from the boards that a Junior A goalie would stop 100 out of 100 times. Lmao

We didn't need that bert and marchand wrestling matchup, that motivated boston

 

[Leaffan1991]

That was such a soft goal by Sammy, killed all our momentum. The power play is absolute ass and was that JT that lost his man on the counter? Poor effort

 

[ruaware41]

I respected Coyle a lot as a player in the past. Seems like a decent respectable person. Leave it to the Bruins to make a pathetic piece of shit out of anyone. He's been selling calls all series. When Lyubushkin slightly touched him last game and he acted like he got shot, and now he grabs his face in the same way when it looked like Bertuzzi didn't even make contact up high. A slow mo replay would be really nice.

 

[GoonieFace]

We had a bunch of calls go our way earlier in the game. Couldn't do anything on the PP. Complaining now is lame.

It’s hilarious reading some of these posts, constant whining from people

 

[glue]

I mean, he couldn't believe the bullshit. Not one blatant penalty, but multiple not called in the same play.

That’s fair too, but he cant lose focus

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Hopefully Sammy wins because that goal was BAD, he didn't even try to make a save he didn't even move.

 

[The Management]

Special teams. Goaltending.

It's hard to believe just how bad their powerplay has been, holy.

 

[Albz]

We have more PP’s this game, so I’m not sure what the issue is. Calls have been missed both ways

Are you serious. Marchand alone did 1 elbow, 1 hold and 2 hooks and trip and didn't grt called.... are you watching the same fkn game???

 

[Torontonian]

Refs and their stupid f***ing game management.

Worst non call of the playoffs costs leafs a goal.

Everyone is blaming the wrong thing, who cares it wasn't called..........

It didn't give them any sort of advantage, our goalie let a goal short side from the top of the circle......

 

[BayStBullies]

We have more PP’s this game, so I’m not sure what the issue is. Calls have been missed both ways

Nice irrelevant comment. The issue is the consistent lack of a standard that teams like Boston always exploit. Commit a million blatant penalties and it evens out, because people like you exist.

 

[HogTown06]

Samsonov giveth, Samsonov taketh away...

 

[Nineteen67]

Went from good vibes to really bad vibes quickly thanks to Sammy

In


Oh total interference that lead to a chance

That had no impact on the play.

 

[Burnie97]

When I'm mad about the reffing... it's this exact type of bullshit.

Most of us know what should be called. It's the game management garbage. Just let the f***ing teams play.

If they make the proper call on Matthews.... it's still 1-0 and Leafs had a powerplay.

Then it's a Boston goal after 2 or 3 non calls... yeah terrible by Sammy but then right after.... Leafs powerplay.

Then bertuzzi is stupid then... then... then...

It just sinks the game. Just awful to see in the playoffs.

 

[Notsince67]

Mitch Marner watching everyone else fight for the puck

Read the room

 

[Kurtz]

That was one horrible period of bouncing puck road hockey. I think the NHL needs to step in and force them to fix the ice or make them pkay somewhere else.

They must have had a concert or something...they really need to figure this shit out for the playoffs at least.

 

[PromisedLand]

I wanna get mad but we did f*** all with the PPs we've had this game you knew refs were gonna call some soft shit to even up the calls

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Yep. That's a killer for sure. Leafs worked so hard and for so long and had to make a literal perfect play to BARELY get one by Swayman and Sammy allows a shot from the boards that a Junior A goalie would stop 100 out of 100 times. Lmao

Junior A??

Beer leaguers can stop that

 

[keonsbitterness]

they stopped skating (and paying attention) when there was a little centre stage slashing match happening near centre ice. and Frederic kept skating meanwhile

Like the refs say, play to the whistle and protect yourself at all times.

 

[weems]

Our PP was bad for the last month of the season at least. This is just the continuation unfortunately

I know but hasn't this been a consistent in the playoffs for awhile now?

Maybe I'm wrong but it feels like most of the series we've played the past few years our PP has been gone cold.

 

[PeteBestondrums]

I'm ok with Bert trying to mess with Marchand. We had years where there was never a response.

 

[34]

Boston coming on strong. The Leafs need to turn it up a notch in the 3rd. Need the win here.

 

[thewave]

Special teams. Goaltending.

It's hard to believe just how bad their powerplay has been, holy.

The unbelievable part is that they have not fixed it. Thats the crime

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

This is what happens when rats/cockroaches like Bettman are in charge of something.

 

[Divine]

Lots to shoot at when coming down on Samsonov
