Toronto Maple Leafs (A2) vs Tampa Bay Lightning (A3) | TOR Leads 2-1

He called it reckless. A "Car accident" .. Nothing about it was reckless on Rielly. It wasn't a penalty so the entire blame is on the dude who got hurt. It's a rough sport

Lmao, Imagine the belly aching if that was Matthews going in like that.

 

[AvroArrow]

While I agree with the fact that I don't think it was a penalty, reverse the situation and instead of Point it would have been Mathews or Marner, tell me how the Leafs nation would react? I understand the TB fans.

I don't think there's a player on the Lightning capable of throwing Matthews like that. Sure I'd be upset if he got hurt, who wouldn't. But the guys calling it a dirty play, asking for a 5 minute major LOL, yea no. Not a penalty. Unfortunate outcome, not a penalty.

 

[TheBeard]

Uh huh, sure thing par-d-ner. Look at you doing laps around Toronto's fan base.

I don’t even know what that means.

 

[Crazy Monkey]

This is 100% what Clifford got suspended for.

NHL is a joke. This, by precedence, is a “suspended for the rest of the round” dirty hit

Its OK. I want Maroon to keep playing. He's good for the LOLs. Hes as irrelevant as it gets on a contending team

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

McCabe and Schenn just eating tough minutes. Those are guys you want in your bottom six. Anyone doubting why McCabe for peanuts was acquired is learning why he cost a first.

 

[TMLife17]

Excited to see how the Toronto fan base spins there here to fit their opinions.

Sounds like he just threatened Morgan's family to me.

I am sure everyone saying it was dirty or "reckless" would suddenly think it was a clean hockey play if it was Matthews. Funny how biases work both ways eh.

Think so? He seems to draw the Leafs into nonsense. Maybe overkill with Corey Perry out there and actually contributing.

Hahaha, ok that was good.

Something something… Morgan’s family… something something … CAR ACCIDENT!!!

 

[AvroArrow]

Something something… Morgan’s family… something something … CAR ACCIDENT!!!

"We let them win"

 

[Bradely]

I'm 95% sure Tampa ends up with a 2 man advantage in that situation if it was Matthews or Marner and the Leafs reacted the same.

McCabe already got a penalty in this series for a glove push to the head of Perry, I can't imagine a Leafs player getting away with what Stamkos did.

Miss the point. you seem like Leaf fan thinking the world is against them was not my point. I only said, if one top player on any team goes down like Point did, same reaction would come from fan base, including IMO Leafs nation.

 

[TheBeard]

This disappoints me.

I’m sorry.

Lol Stamkos much smaller did a WWF slam drop on Matthew’s.

Again.... nothing wrong with what you said... my point stand. Have a good series and enjoy.

 

[Joeffice]

I’m sorry.

I will be the bigger man and accept this apology. Water under the bridge my friend. Water under the bridge.

The Leafs fans don't hate the reaction, they hate the officiating not enforcing the rules as a result of the reaction.

OK

 

[Divine]

That tip by the air made all the difference.

 

[AvroArrow]

Lol Stamkos much smaller did a WWF slam drop on Matthew’s.

Oh no, he threw 7 punches at a guy who's not looking and still has his gloves on holding multiple sticks ? So tough, so big.

 

[The Podium]

Lmao, Imagine the belly aching if that was Matthews going in like that.

Probably the same, but your opinion would be the exact opposite

Hahaha, ok that was good.

Perry 100%. Worth his weigh in gold. Maroon is yapping but influencing nothing. He's living off reputation now

I’m talking about the wrestling slam that sent Matthew’s airborne. Just correcting your funny take, no one could take Matthew’s down because of his size.
When it happened yesterday.

 

[Joeffice]

Perry 100%. Worth his weigh in gold. Maroon is yapping but influencing nothing. He's living off reputation now

Imagine if the Leafs had signed Perry when he was basically asking to head over there.

What a garbage post You're comparing sucker punching a guy who still has his gloves to Rielly shoving Point in a battle for positioning ? wtf ? lmao

Imagine if the Leafs had signed Perry when he was basically asking to head over there.

He would've been suspended in game 1

I'm 95% sure they wouldn't. So there. Speculatory neutrality.
