ECQF Game 5: Toronto(2) @ BRUINS(2) | 7:00PM EDT | NESN, NBCSN, CBC, SN(4K), TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Did the refs do a better job as opposed to game 2?

I mean, the Leafs only got one (?) powerplay to the Bruins 3, and it was for too many men.
There was a ton of stuff that could have been called all over, but you expect an even-up of penalties in a playoff game.

Still, Matthews is a beast. Marner is quite the player as well, but his "softening" his ice cream has me doubting he can keep up the pace.
We'll see on Sunday, I guess.

 

[Pookie]

You are really hanging on “incidental” he pushes off the defender right into the goalie.

Edit: I understand not making the call in a 0-0 game, btw, but after the nonsense coming from Leafs fans after game 2, I find this all really annoying.

All good. It’s all opinion.

IMO, Kadri deserves the Match and the suspension. Would have been fine with longer.

Felt there wasn’t evidence to overturn the offside challenge tonight. Good goal. Right call there.

And felt the rule interpretation on this interference question was the correct one.

Not one of these decisions, frustrating to some as they may be... not one even approaches the frustration of New Orleans Saints fans.

On to game 6

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

So hard to know which way they will call those reviews. That seemed like interference. Big game Sunday.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Easy to say when your team never wins.

Good one Randy.

 

[Saxon]

He was on white ice.

So? And he wasn't

 

[JerseyMike34]

Boston had plenty of chances to convert on power plays and couldn’t pull it off.

Can’t leave opportunities like that behind and then complain about refs etc costing you the game.

Apparently you can.

 

[Jackson14]

Bruins lost tonight because they sucked, not because of a 50/50 review that was a good goal on the ice.

 

[Pia8988]

So? And he wasn't

What he meant to say was 'He has a white jersey'

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Literally every toronto homer media person has said it was clearly interference, why can't Leaf fans just admit it, take the win and run?.........I would.

Because it wasn't?

 

[James Walker]

The intentional offside from Pastrnak leading to the goal was bull****. Had that been called properly it's most likely a 2-0 game. But whatcha gonna do with these refs and the lopsided penalty tally?

The offside in question was after the goal, pay attention or sober up.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Theres no clear defination of what goalie interference is so unless it's something obvious the CC decision is always gonna be disputed.

 

[Pookie]

So? And he wasn't

Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease

yes not my style either lol

 

[Brownbeard]

Seeing Bruins fans whine about the refs is hilarious. Their team has had more powerplays than the Leafs, and gotten the benefit of the doubt much more than Toronto all series. Powerplays were even 3-1 tonight. The Leafs only got one when Boston had six men on.

The refs let Boston get away with acting like wrestlers, running interference and smashing Leafs' heads into the boards in game 2. They've let them get away with a lot in the rest of the series too.

 

[TimThomas24]

The Leafs team defense has been the difference. They’ve been fantastic. Goal shouldn’t have counted though. Was heading for OT at 0-0. Onto Game 6.

 

[Saxon]

Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease

Or pushing yourself into the goalie........... And he was still in the blue as Don showed clearly

 

[21stAmendment]

Lol at Boston fans crying about officiating

 

[josra33]

I guess whining to the league really does work....

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Hymen fell into Rask all on his own. You don't actually have to be in crease for GI either. Rask had position and was pushed off that position by Hymen....and yes, that extra half second could've been the difference between a goal and a save.
FTR, as a Canuck fan, I hate both teams.

Lmao gotta watch the spelling there bud...yikes. Hyman...

 

[chaosrevolver]

Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease

Yet the goalie was in the crease..

 

[ashs]

Any reffing is better than game 2

 

[Kazcram]

there was no GI just as there was no high stick on gilmour from gretz

 

[topshelf15]

Had the leafs in 6 ,looks like I may make some beer money

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

I guess whining to the league really does work....

Only if you're the Bruins. And it almost worked.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

I guess whining to the league really does work....

I mean the only PP the Leafs got was for a clear too many men but sure the refs favoured the Leafs.

 

[member 298589]

Lmao gotta watch the spelling there bud...yikes. Hyman...

I am sure they fall into you all the time when you are an NHL goalie.
