Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 4-3 in the shootout

[LeafalCrusader]

Bottom six finally looking figured out. Really liked the McMann Tavares Jarnkrok line.

I don't usually watch sportsnet intermissions but I seen this too. I also seen Friedman chime in like dork and bend backwards to explain how it shouldn't have been. Apparently the spirit of the rule is taking about 4 guys jumping on the ice at once (according to him)?

When did he join the likes of Cox and Shannon as blatant Leaf haters with the worse takes? He wasn't this bad before was he? He was tripping over himself to talk about Rielly too, after the Greig hit.

So the refs missed giving out a Penalty shot to the Leafs?

From the way the rule reads, it looks like it.

They may have outplayed the Rangers much of the game, but the Rangers got the best scoring chances and could've easily been up if it weren't for Samsonov coming up big throughout the game and into OT. Also 2 of the Leafs goals were assisted by Rangers players with a Gustafsson deflection and a double body bounce and into the net on the Tavares goal.

Marner's goal was the only one that actually beat Igor so yeah Leafs were very lucky to win this game.

Leafs had a higher expected goals so no...you are wrong

The Leafs will have home ice in round 1, and then we'll need to hope that Florida somehow loses to the 8th seed, which will likely be Tampa.

I can’t see that happening. I’m pretty sure the leafs path is gonna be Boston and then Florida. Hope I’m wrong because I think Leafs beat Boston and Tampa. Florida scares me.

That’s next level Game Management

The correct result. Marner missing the empty net, made this harder than it needed to be.

Happened to Nylander earlier this year.

Icing and subsequent goal against.

Yes, Samsonov played well. Shestyorkin was almost as good.

Harder path esp playing away might be better for the Leafs. As I am still afraid Keefe will galaxy brain line matching at home.

I thought Shek was better than Sammy. Both played amazing though and the scoreline really didn’t reflected how well both played

Does that surprise anyone.
Just another example.

I am used to it now. Kind of like that Stephen Chow movie, Kung Fu Soccer. Where the owner of the opposing team said, he brought the refs, linesmen and the league officials to favor his team to win.

Athletic has 3 stars as
1. Sammy
2. Johnny T
3. Mitch

An example of the Refs and neither team knowing that was a rule?

I don't remember the exact verbiage but it basically says that if a team takes a bench penalty intentionally and there isn't sufficient time to serve it then it results in a penalty shot.

Friedman focused on the intentional part and made up the conditions of intentional in the spot.

Imagine the refs didn't know that rule either. I won't be surprised if that was the case.

Surprised he didn't focus on sufficient time, as any teams can score a goal within SEVEN seconds, lol.

I think I found the actual rule:

74.4 Deliberate Illegal Substitution

If by reason of insufficient playing time remaining, or by reason of penalties already imposed, a bench minor penalty is imposed for deliberate illegal substitution (too many men on the ice) which cannot be served in its entirety within the legal playing time, or at any time in overtime, a penalty shot shall be awarded against the offending team.

I think it was close enough that It was one of those accidentally on purpose kind of plays. But Friedman's example was just stupid lol.

They absolutely knew the rule. In fact that’s not the only rule and the refs can call a penalty shot on any penalty call within the last 2 minutes if they deem it necessary. This happened the other night when Vatrano pushed the net off with seconds left. 100% they knew that could be called a penalty shot.

How do they determine intention?

For leafs? Naw
Against leafs? Yee

 

[Strangle]

The Oilers are not making the Stanley Cup finals. Not a chance.

Neither are we, but fantasies are fantasies lol

 

[keonsbitterness]

That's a rule that needs to be clarified. Intentional is so subjective.

 

[Leaf Fans]

For leafs? Naw
Against leafs? Yee

I mean just for the rule about "intentionally having too many men"? Is it subjective?

It's the NHL, everything is whatever they feel like when it comes to reffing.
