Pre-Game Talk: Here We Go Again | Leafs @ Bruins Game 7

[57 Years No Cup]

 

[Sypher04]

Feels like there is zero upside to saying that if they aren’t fairly optimistic he’ll be good to go

 

[The Masters]

future captain matthew knies says the leafs have to finish this deal off

 

[Sypher04]

Also I guess Marchand pushing the ref is just going to get swept under the rug

Supposed to be 10 games

 

[crump]

No matter what. One of the teams can sing this song tomorrow

Marek saying he's hearing Wes McCauley might get the call for this game

insanity

So the fix is in then…
Seems about right they wait for game 7 to play that card for the result they want

whats the record with sheldon / wes ?

 

[mikeyz]

Oh my f***ing god. Please no. This guys is the absolute worst and most biased official, f*** Wes. Bring back Tim Peel for all I care, just no Wes please.

I am assuming you don't have twitter and haven't seen Tim Peel's timeline on there in the last week and a half.

If you think Wes hates the Leafs and is biased against them, it's child's play compared to how Timmy feels about them. Lol.

Exercising Demons sounds difficult. What do you say?

“Lucifer, Beelzebub, Marchand!
No pain, no gain. Drop and give me twenty!”

Which raises a question: “Do the Bruins have to buy special skates to fit Marchand’s cloven hooves?”

Or, of course, the word posters are looking for might indeed be “exorcises.”

I saw a priest at the gym. He was exorcising.

I believe he was doing CrossFit.

Bruins Front Office put in the call

McCauley is backup official in Vancouver tonight - which absolutely suggests he's getting game 7 tomorrow night.

 

[notbias]

Correct, Bettman's boss (Boston's owner), put in the call

It is crazy to me that the owner of the Bruins probably has the most say in the NHL.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

I heard from my weed dealer at Union Station that Kerry Fraser is coming out of retirement to referee game 7. He looked pretty high though. May not be true.

 

[SprDaVE]

Grain of salt, but he knows a thing or two

Jeremy Jacobs definitely made some phone calls lmao

McCauley is backup official in Vancouver tonight.

Means he's not officiating in either of Friday's games - which all but confirms he's doing game 7

How I want to be feeling Saturday around midnight after double overtime.

Would it mean more for the Leafs to win Game 7 in Boston, than it did to simply win a series like they did last season?

...and to add to that, if the Leafs lose to FLA in 5 again... same question as above?

Regardless, I hope to hell they find a way to get it done!

 

[maskingagent]

The last two games have been sloppy and quite boring. At times it was like watching beer league division D, or university hockey. Sheesh. These two teams are clearly the weakest in the East and will get killed by Florida 4-0 next round. For any losing team, there will be firings for sure.

This was never in doubt. League gave the B's a chance to get it done on their own. Now they bring in the fixer to make sure it get's done.

whats the record with sheldon / wes ?

0-4 in the playoffs with an absolutely atrociously officiated game 7 in there. Leafs were given an interference penalty on what would have been the tying goal. Instead short handed. Then both of the goals scored against Toronto in that game 7 were off of blatant missed penalties. An interference, seconds later goal, then holding the defenders stick and seconds later goal. Leafs were on a powerplay in the 3rd, again literally 2 feet away from Wes a Willy gets tripped and no call as he's staring at the guy take him down.

It was one of the worst officiated games I have ever watched lol I still remember it vividly.

He should not be allowed anywhere near a Leafs game.

 

[BayStBullies]

Oh my f***ing god. Please no. This guys is the absolute worst and most biased official, f*** Wes. Bring back Tim Peel for all I care, just no Wes please.

Beyond that, it is a clear conflict of interest.

I would say the reffing has favoured the Leafs lately.

If they are going to exorcise all thesecdemons, might as well have him ref too.

People are over-thinking this because of the emotion involved. Coming back to beat Boston is meaningless if they lose to Florida. Winning a first round series means literally nothing. Forget this team's past. Think like any reasonable third party in any professional sport. No one should care about winning one round in a 4 round tournament. I want to see how they do against Florida. Beat Florida and then we can have a discussion.
