Given that both fan bases are 100% convinced that the NHL is directly gaming their team via officiating, the NHL has just released this educational video. I suggest we all review it.





Now that you are up to date on the current standard, a quiz. See if you can spot any infractions as noted in the above PSA in this video:



Go Leafs Go. Once you're BWO, you're BWO FOR LIFE. Let's go.

Found a way to win game 3 while playing terrible hockey. Need to play way better and put Tampa on the brink. Big game in series and for the team, they need to be able to carry the momentum into tonight and dictate the play.

Tampa showed they can still dominate a game. Sure they are down some key pieces from years past, but their core is still there. Cut down the giveaways, bad passes, get on the horses and initiate the hits pressure in the O zone. Don’t get drawn into their nonesense. Sammy needs to continue his period 2-OT performance, We’ll be fine. Let’s break their will tonight.

Dreaded 7:30 start, everyone hates those.

Unless there's an injury we haven't heard of, I wouldn't expect lineup changes nor should any be made.

Tonight is going to be the biggest test so far.
Really need a big game from the Goalie.

Leafs have had a 2-1 lead in 4 out of last 5 series. Only once have they made it 3-1. After stealing Game 3 I am hoping they come out flying and push TB to the brink.

I suspect TB will come out desperate though. Have to match the intensity for the first 10 minutes then take it over from there

Jeanott telling luke we are going again lol. Why didnt he. He cant fight if you saw his hand he cant fight with a hand like that so he is of no consequence

Hedman is their best dman but did you notice he wasnt on the ice protecting a lead with a minute to go. He is hurting bad. Leafs should finish every check on him and make him pay
That should be done to every player, healthy or not.

And we’re supposed to get fired up to be entertained by Matthews and Stamkos?

The Stanley Cup should be retired and new trophy awarded.

Need a much better performance from the team as a whole tonight. They got lucky to get away with a win in game 3, if they bring that kind of effort again tonight its likely a loss.

I disagree about the lineup.
ZAR, Kampf and Lafferty were hemorrhaging scoring chances. 3 shots for and 13 against. No goals against but nothing you want to keep in a momento box.
Kerfoot, Tavares Nylander were also a shit show. Need to shore up the scoring chance differential.
ZAR isn't doing much and some line shakeups might be in order

I expect Keefe will have made some adjustments to hamper Tampa a bit. Everything seemed to work for Tampa last game (except the final score lol). Their breakouts were insanely quick and focused, the stretch pass was well utilized and whatever they were doing to forecheck the leaf breakouts was working quite well. They looked like 2020 TB Lightning

Would Simmonds be better, though? He'd probably be worse defensively and I could see him taking a dumb penalty.

I don't think they've been bad at all but my expectations for the 4th line aren't that high.
I know they've been out against some bad matchups and struggled but I don't fault them for that.
Who do you see as an upgrade on ZAR?

Lafferty can play both sides. I'd move Simmonds in.
