He may have saw the boxscore of the current game at work, but when he went home I think he accidentally watched a game from the 2011 Bruins.

Russia gets a power play in OT.

Wow...

I love the part about Leivo being tripped. A summary of their argument is that it might have been tripping, but Leivo asked for a trade, so maybe it wasn't tripping.

The Leafs have been a big revenue contributor for the NHL for years, but it didn't save us from bad calls in the past.

It's either a trip or embellishment/diving. Not both.

And yes the NHL is cahoots to get big Canadian fan bases into the playoffs. Didn't all 7 miss 2 years ago?

my fav part is nobody has called him out for being such a mouth breather yet lol

Chara gets away with so much it’s sickening... always has....
But I think our speed will roast him if we play how they can

Didn’t they move Quebec to the US right before they won the cup??

To be fair, he's so big almost anything is a penalty. I guess the refs try to account for his size

He interferes like crazy when the puck is chipped past him.... just like what Dermott was called for tonight...

I'm sure that fits into the conspiracy somehow

I was working tonight so I had to watch the game on Game center.

While at work , I followed the box score and drew some conclusions based on the stats.

1) based on the shot clock it would lead you to think the Leafs dominated (wrong)
2) when I saw two goals in the 1st I assumed Tuukka may be giving up Bananas (wrong)
3) After a long layoff I suspected the Bruins may have come out a little sleepy (wrong)
4) When I saw the Leafs tie the game late in the second I suspected some bogus officiating ( winner, winner, chicken dinner)
a) Chara broke the stick, so sadly, that is a penalty.
b) Marchand trying to clear the zone just as the TML PP starts but is held is a penalty as well, it is not an unimportant hold , it stopped him from clearing the zone which is very significant. (no call)
c) It appears one botched call is not going to do it so we call McAvoy for a trip on Lievo. Now Lievo may very well have been tripped but he may also have very well been demonstrating his diving skills ( he has asked for a trade and needs to show all his skills at this point) . So questionable tripping call should be accompanied by a questionable embellishment call , especially when it's going to give the Leafs a 2 man advantage.

5) And the most important point, and sadly , this is how the world works (just ask Rubio about not taking any more NRA donations going forward) .
a) who owns the Toronto Maple Leafs? Answer: Rogers
b) who owns the Canadian NHL rights (at a cost of 5.2B , that's B not M, Billion is a lot of money ) ? Answer: Rogers
c) call me crazy but is that not a conflict of interest right there?
d) who is the NHL's two biggest meal tickets (you guessed it , TML and Rogers ) , do you see the problem here?

To finish, let's hope we can get passed TB and let them face the Leafs. I suspect who ever faces the Leafs , especially in the 1st round, is going to have to play against both the Leafs and the Zebras.

Rogers is a Canadian company that pays some very serious dollars to the NHL. With the Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton and probably Calgary out not making the PO's , that leaves the Leafs and Winnipeg (VERY SMALL MARKET TEAM) so you can probably figure out the rest.

It's like this guy has never watched a game in his life.

Refs love the Bruins and let most everything go. Especially poop that Chara does.

Anybody else notice how the refs all make calls to help the Leafs win? Such a good partnership we've worked out with them. Go refs go!

still? never was. much worse now too.

What?! Dude, yes he was. He may not be as great as he once was, but he's still a really good player and exactly what Babcock would want in his system.

As long as it's actually a really dark blue (instead of black), then it's still technically our colors. Then really, really shrink the leafs logo.
Next time Matthews calls a goal everyone will just assume he's an official making the call.

Making room for Evander Kane to SJS

Its never the worse thing drafting Mathews.

I think the worse thing was immediately trading a 1st for a goalie who is going to single handedly win dozens of games for a team that is a defensive holocaust most nights shadowing the lack of defensive depth and over achieving. Probably the better rebuild move would have been to sign a stop gap goalie for 2 seasons and still draft high, kept the 1st and draft D and Goalie and defensive forwards in that span. A 4 year rebuild instead of a 2. Probably a cup team if not so impatient.
