GDT: ECQF | GM3 | Boston Bruins @ Toronto Maple Leafs | ESPN

[Neil Racki]

Neither team is making it easy on the refs. Pushing lines every chance they get

 

[BlueOil]

Blatant interference on Tavares that opened up the 2 on 1...

they gave the leafs a free pass on domi's idiocy, you know that was ringing loudly in keefe's head when he wanted to complain about the bertuzzi flop like it should've been a call

 

[Sniper99]

Just the one play that resulted in the goal. Whistle should've blown it dead well before

Hes not worth the time another Bruin fan with useless takes

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

You don't think the McAvoy hold behind the net was a penalty? Because if not you have about as much going on in your head as the universe pre big bang.

For every example you provide there are one or three the other way. Heinen was held in the corner in the first period, if you are limiting to strictly holding.

 

[StrangeVision]

Just the one play that resulted in the goal. Whistle should've blown it dead well before

I'd be more worried about Samsonov on that play than Bertuzzi's bunny hop trying to sell a call if I was a Leafs fan.

 

[Craig Button]

Bennet did it, I guess it’s just a good hockey play

Leafs should practice it. You get a concussion, you get a concussion! Concussions for EVERYBODY!

Ben net should be in jail for that play.

That’s not a part of hockey.

What’s next? Killing some one with your skates?

 

[notbias]

The Bertuzzi vs. Marchand rivalry is embarassing.

It's funny because they are both respectable compared to Stutzle and his diving

 

[Strangle]

This is a weird game to watch. There are penalties all over the place and they are letting them play. Then they randomly decide to call a penalty. What even is a penalty in this game ? Who knows .

The refs are just making it up as they go

 

[CanadianHockey]

Bertuzzi may cost Toronto this game

Did Coyle actually get hit in the mouth? Didn't look like it there.

Looked like side of the helmet to me along with Bertuzzi's glove. Definitely a high stick either way.

 

[OVO16]

Bruins are an elite flopping team

 

[Leaf Fans]

The Bruins draw even and Craig Simpson is upset!

Craig Simpson would be delighted about that. Likely he is upset about the weak call on MacAvoy

 

[Gil Gunderson]

It's funny because they are both respectable compared to Stutzle and his diving

What’s more respectable about their diving?

 

[zoA]

Refs dictating the game as usual. They’re horrible for both teams but they can’t help their need to be the stars. This is what happens when refs have zero accountability.

 

[Craig Button]

Imagine believing this! Toronto just had its first penalty called despite a number of infractions throughout the game. Including a blatant high stick on McAvoy allowed.

Follow through from a tip

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Boston should change their name to the Boston Bozos.

 

[Matt24]

I'd be more worried about Samsonov on that play than Bertuzzi's bunny hop trying to sell a call if I was a Leafs fan.

To be fair there is absolutely no way at least one call shouldn’t have happened preceding the goal. That was kind of absurd.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Some people come to watch the hockey.

Some come to watch the refs…

 

[notbias]

What’s more respectable about their diving?

Less of it... Stutzle has a reputation for it... truly embarrassing player, can't score either, does nothing well.

 

[Dicky113]

it’s like bertuzzi took Marchand’s dive last game as a personal challenge. Just play the game redneck

 

[frederixx]

I love watching this series so far but quite honestly, I don't think any of these teams have what it takes to go all the way. Leafs have questionable goalie, suspect defense and make way too many mental errors. Bruins offense is subpar and I think they would get exposed against the other top east teams. Still enjoyable and it would be a treat to watch if if goes to 7 and OT.

 

[Leonardo87]

So this is just a thread of people whining about officiating. Cool. That's very fun. Awesome.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Leaf fans sure know how to bitch up a storm.

 

[Score8]

Pretty intense game, it would be better if the refs just stayed in the room for the 3rd.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Just the one play that resulted in the goal. Whistle should've blown it dead well before

Why?

 

[Menzinger]

How many pps do you need to be happy? 10-12?

The strangest brief in sports is the brief that penalities called should be equal.... If one team is coming more fouls, the PPs should reflect that.

If the bruins want to spend less time in the box there's a simple solution.....
