Ridiculous penalty on Reaves

"The Panthers-Capitals shootout went so long that by the time it ended, it was being played in Quebec City."

Leafs fans we get it. Your team is good in the early months...

Ridiculous penalty on Reaves

That's a really strange thing to complain about when the game is locked away

Obviously refs trying to prevent fireworks

They won't be sniffing the playoffs unless there's something drastic happening

so what exactly is wrong with the kings? I hope the players are distracted by off ice issues

Too good to not make the playoffs. Even with the current slump, they're only a few points away from #2 spot in the Pacific division. Your star players are bound to wake up soon

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Holy ****, I can't wait for the next collapse.

Your wish might soon come through. Leafs play something like 8 out of their next 9 games on the road so we might see IF they are for real (I know they have a good record on the road so far so calm down Leafs fans )

Holy ****, I can't wait for Kessel to light you up guys again, or snap your 7 game streak for 3rd time in 3 years.

Your wish might also come through very soon, next game between Ducks and Leafs is early January.

Tarasenko now with 20 goals. He sucks though. Blues suck he sucks. It's early stahp.

 

[Teemu Salami]

Ducks aren't going anywhere with that goaltending tandem.

Nor are the Leafs relying on their goalies to bail them out

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

I just noticed in the boxscore between the Caps and the Panthers that Jokinen shot 3 times in the shootout (4th, 7th and 19th). Is that a scoring mistake (should have been only twice if I'm not mistaken) or did he really shoot 3 times?

I'm sure Bernier can handle 35 shots to the chest every game

Only 4th and 19th. He, Bjugstad, Ovi, and Backstrom all shot twice.

 

[Addison Rae]

Nope? TSN showed quite an obvious view there. Quite an asskicking tonight though. Showed who the better team was

You actually think the Leafs are better than the Ducks?

 

[Muston Atthews]

They were tonight

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Only 4th and 19th. He, Bjugstad, Ovi, and Backstrom all shot twice.

Ok, thanks!

Refs effed up in Chicago led to gwg

Nah. Goalie was the difference tonight, no denying that. Leafs allowing over 40 shots a game is not a healthy system.

If our PP scores, you got no one to blame but yourselves

Effed up as in called a hooking call. So they should ignore all penalties of the game is close?

Sure little hooks get away a lot in these situations, it was a solid hook to an opposing player.

Really tired of all the ref blaming every time a posters team loses.

Agreed. Refs are the one group I refuse to blame almost without fail, unless something like the Senators kick-goal a few years ago happens

Just ignore it though. People just get upset when they lose and like to make up excuses.

Didn't see the call because the Wild put me to sleep again.

I'm not a Blues fan, far from it (although I am a Reaves fan). I had just turned the game on to see the 2 goals by the Blues but that penalty was brutal. I am an NHL reffing hater and that was one more for the portfolio, this year has been awful

6-2 says otherwise. I'd say both teams had the same amount of grade A chances if not moreso for the Leafs, Leafs just buried. You guys may have dominated zone time but for the most part the shots came from the outside. I don't understand the fascination with cycling over and over and then getting off a weak shot. The Leafs have actually outshot our opponents or been close in shots (within 5) 7 out of 12 times during this streak. We also have the most goals for in the league, so I wouldn't blame it all on your goalie.

 

[Devonator]

And I think it is safe to say the Flames are now crashing back to earth!!! No playoffs for you guys! This was inevitable to be sure....
