toronto is undisciplined. why is bertuzzi going out of his way and making a show of slashing the guy.. just terrible and stupid from bertuzzi, gotta be smarter.. could have been 5-3, i think refs bailed leafs out, by giving coyle a penalty.. coyle pushed, but thats nothing more then a battle in front of the net, whistle goes and he gets punched in the head.. again pretty blatant by lybuskin.
if leafs want to play chippy, they have to be a bit sneakier about it.
Convenient that you ignore the initial contact with the goalie on that same play.
Boston has this habit of going at the goalie well after the whistle, and immediately before the scrum, someone clipped the goalies helmet with the stick after the play was dead.
A select few players in the league have a habit of:
Play is blown dead by goalie and ref blows it dead.
Player then makes a lunge at the goalie or into the crease area inviting contact from defenders.
After the clearing contact is made, player accidentally falls onto goalie, or a stick goes up onto the goalie.
Perry, Marchand, Tkachuck are amongst the most prevalent culprits of this little game.
And sometimes the answer to that is that you get clipped in a sensitive area without padding.
That Marchand goes down like a sniper took him out is laughable.
That Boston fans wanted a 5 on 3 for that is pathetic.
Is it not enough to get more power plays already, despite being heavily outplayed at even strength the 2 games?
Get the hell out of here with this shit.
