Nothing new here. Move along.
that link goes to tge Philly game. what gives?
Look closer. That's over the last FOUR YEARS combined... 2016-now. Pretty much since Matthews and Marner arrived. It's pretty clear the NHL is afraid the Leafs might actually do some damage with their PP if they got it as often as, say, Tampa Bay does...A team as quick as us have the second lowest power play time?? How??? Shanahan, just ask, why is this happening and have video of the noncalls in the past two games.
Are they all behind 16-3 in power plays. Including a penalty shot and a player trying to spear a player through the ref?
Thanks for the upload. Yikes.. That is a huge disadvantage for the team

It's only the 2nd lowest because Vegas came into the league 2 years ago...the Leafs are the lowest when you account for games played...and the trend started when the team became good again after drafting Matthews and Marner.
I would be willing to bet it lines up perfectly with when Babcock called out the referees the year before Matthews and Marner came up for the first time (the year they finished dead last).It's only the 2nd lowest because Vegas came into the league 2 years ago...the Leafs are the lowest when you account for games played...and the trend started when the team became good again after drafting Matthews and Marner.
Matthews was definitely not great on that goal I agree. However in what freakin universe is PLD half of Matthews' size? Be real dude. PLD is a helluva player. #3 overall pick. 6'3" and 220 pounds. He's a Matthews twin in terms of physical size but players a harder game than him but also isn't as skilled obviously.Agree the reffing was totally CRAP but common this team just freakin stands around and puck watches get out worked, out played and out muscled even in games we have won, this team is not satisfying to watch because they are soft as whip cream, nobody knocks anybody down tonight from guys coming with the puck from the back of our net, or standing right in front all alone. Mathews with a half effort letting a guy half his size walk out from the back corner right out in front shovelling the puck past Anderson I think on the second or third goal, Our whole defense and zone coverage looks lost in space its abysmal so many other things I not even going to bother mentioning but this team is NOT unified at all as of yet tons of mistakes everywhere on the ice.
Just in case anyone was wondering the ref who officiated that disaster tonight was Jean Hebert the same ref who officiated game 1 of the Leafs Bruins playoff series in which Boston got away with everything and Kadri felt like he had to take the game into his own hands and got suspended. Same piece of trash tonight. That game cost him round 2 and probably some healthy bonus money. Now you know why the leafs lost
You're right, the last two games has been pretty bad, but I don't think that they're conspiring against the Leafs, they've made a few mistakes, let's hope that it evens out as the year goes on.Are they all behind 16-3 in power plays. Including a penalty shot and a player trying to spear a player through the ref?
Well certain scents, colours etc produce a different vibe. Do you feel different walking into a bright sunny open space vs a dark tight and dingy space?Care to elaborate on what "environmental factor" would lead to this? Bottom line is that the Leafs make money regardless of their success, while the league at large in no way benefits from it.
Kinda like being on the road in college basketballYou're right, the last two games has been pretty bad, but I don't think that they're conspiring against the Leafs, they've made a few mistakes, let's hope that it evens out as the year goes on.
Jesus. How do Edmonton, Anaheim and Columbus have less PPs than us?. How's that even possible?
that's why the Leafs power play isn't very good, they don't get enough real game practice.
