GDT: ECQF GAME 7 - 8:14 PM - Toronto Maple Leafs (3) @ BOSTON BRUINS (3) - I assure you Woll is injured

[pcruz]

Teams get bad calls against the very series. If you can’t win with that then you’re going nowhere. The refs haven’t decided the Larfs fate, the players did.

That's exactly my point.

Some bad calls are more blatant than others, but we're used to getting the very slight short end of the stick.

Stay up no sleepies

At this rate, I may opt to watch paint dry.

 

[dhfa]

Give me a 0-0 game going to overtime, make it go like five overtimes, and have the winner be a delayed penalty by one of the teams own players, throwing it into the empty net!

That would be magical

It's saturday I will watch that

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Triple deflection winner. Book it.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I woke up early... and I have to wake up early tomorrow morning...

Daaaaag.

 

[Givememoneyback]

I woke up early... and I have to wake up early tomorrow morning...

Gotta prepare a spread for the church group, probably

 

[North Cole]

Charlie brown smart. Stuck in the crease, puck going the other way, blow up the net

 

[50sHabsFan]

Edmundson sat there dusting the puck forever.

He was under no pressure why hurry. Waiting for someone to getcin place

If only hubby had made you dinner and given you the big TV

How does the face off come out of the zone when a leaf pushed the Bruin into the net

 

[wintersej]

Boston has sort of forgotten how to forecheck

It’s not a good forechecking team. Slow. They are good cycling it down low if they can get it.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Don't like either of these teams for obvious reasons but man the Leafs potentially getting their hearts ripped out again in this game has me nervous FOR them

 

[Summer Rose]

Gotta prepare a spread for the church group, probably

I'm actually in the choir.

 

[Tryamw]

He was under no pressure why hurry. Waiting for someone to getcin place

Like Swayman

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

What a rush

Should probably get a new prescription there, bub.

 

[TheNumber4]

Both teams imagine if you were down by 1 goal. Would you score then?

Seriously I should take Keefes job. It’s simple psychology.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Gwg will be something like this

 

[Givememoneyback]

That's exactly my point.

Some bad calls are more blatant than others, but we're used to getting the very slight short end of the stick.

Every team's fans are used to that

 

[King Woodballs]

Should probably get a new prescription there, bub.

Just got a fresh pair. Thanks though chief

 

[Hunter368]

Nice move

 

[Canucks LB]

Who are the leafs fans going to be mad at if they lose this game, and the series?

I feel like they’ve played pretty damn well this series.

For Boston, it’s pretty obvious who to blame

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

How does the face off come out of the zone when a leaf pushed the Bruin into the net

It was the Bruins players. They saw the play going the other way and leaned into it. Wasn't a hard enough push to warrant the net moving a few feet off the mooring.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

It's not even top 10 of the terrible calls this series.

After 8 years of the Matthews - Marner - Nylander era where the officiating has been this inconsistent in regular season and playoff games, we've basically become numb to them.


2 years ago, there was a 5 on 3 gifted to Tampa Bay on 2 borderline calls, when Tampa was down by a goal in what was an elimination game for them. They tied the game on that 2 man advantage and eventually won in OT.

The next game, Toronto was down by a goal and seemingly tied the game. It got called back because Holl stood still on the ice and got called for a pick. A play that happens about 50 times per game and is almost never called, but it was called in game 7 on a game-tying goal.
This after a Leaf player was taken out by a Tampa player and held down on the ice and unable to defend what would otherwise be a routine play leading to the first goal of the game.


Last year, Toronto had 400% more 5 on 3 opportunities in 6 games of the first round of the playoffs, than they had the ENTIRE 82 game season.


Their season ended with Radko Gudas holding onto Jarnkrok's stick rendering him unable to defend leading to an OT goal against.



There are terrible officiating decisions every game for all teams, and at this point, Toronto fans are all but numb to how inept NHL officiating is.

Never heard of this Brazeau guy before but he seems pretty good
