A lot on his shoulders if he does come back.

The team will have to do their part.

 

[Over the volcano]

I know Leafs got away with some as well. just 2 years in a row now there was a take down one of them injuring Knies and no call. then again on Matthews I dunno how those dont get called. but not blaming the loss on the refs. Leafs gotta score when they get 5 PPs

There was no penalty on the Mathews play because McAvoy was coming in to wrap him up and Mathews was bracing for a bigger hit. It was Mathews force that pushed the two of em backwards and down to the ice.

But I get being hyper vigilant against anything that looks like a play which hurt a guy in the past.

I think we view series differently when our team is in it. Marchand face washing Sedin and the Bruins crashing into Luongo. But teams should know by now that the refs let a lot go in the playoffs. Full marks to the Bruins for recognizing that in 2011 and so far in 2024. Intimidation and getting under skilled players skins has always been a big factor in the playoffs.

To be fair, many of the Vancouver players were embellishing constantly and making the refs job more difficult. Perhaps like this series it leads to whistles away more often (the Marchand/Bertuzzi exchange).

There’s clearly at least two skaters already on the ice in that second clip. #fakenews

 

[HockeyVirus]

Damn I love this guy

Yep. 1 for 11 ain't the refs fault.

5 straight play off losses at home not a recipe for success either.
New coach incoming .

I admire the use of logic and the effort to make factual arguments. Sadly though, this isn’t the place for it.

What you refuse to accept is that if the Bruins had 110 penalties called against them in the first three games, then the Leafs would have TEN playoff goals. And that’s real offense.

Ant that, my friend, is on the Refs. And also the Bruins for not committing a penalty close to once per minute played.

Whatever. Either way that travesty is not on the Leafs or Keefe.. You can only complain so much, after that the refs have to do the work.

And the Bruins didn't recognize it against Florida last year or against the Blues in the Final a few years ago. They have been messed up by playoff rules just as much as the benefactors of it.

Wow! That’s as blatant as Tavares dive.

0-5 on the pp with the generational talent goal scorer is far more embarrassing

 

[TD Charlie]

Nah. Not quite. Not at all really. Cool video though.

Well PP has been trash for months and Matthews has never been a PP scorer so IDK about that. PP needs to be fixed to win though for sure

Saw it yesterday. f***ing embarrassing. And then Maroon making sure Reaves wasn't on the ice before going all gangster.

 

[kadertot]

Boston wins tonight it’s over.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Boston wins tonight it’s over.

I'm ok with them winning tonight as long as the Leafs win tomorrow

 

[Ducer]

I mean it's not 1 playoff series win in 20 years embarrassing but a close second I suppose
