Dave Tippett, though I'd love that Swedish guy trying to be the first real Euro coach in history.

I heard he wants to be a head coach in the NHL.

I wonder if they go veteran-experience coach since a rookie one didn't work out.

Winger Leo Komarov did not play in Game 3, but the feisty winger skated at the Leafs practice facility in Etobicoke, ON on Tuesday and will be a game time decision for Game 4 on Thursday.

If Komarov comes back in lineup please keep Moore on 4th line. Their play was impressive. If your gonna keep pleks as well with marleau and marner let Johnsson sit.

They were all impressive. I don't know how any credible coach can change that line up...

Yeah, I don't really know how Babcock can justify sitting anyone from last nights game in favor of Komarov. I won't be shocked if he does though... Hopefully he decides not to change what worked.

That’s the thing though, komarov is a game time decision which means he isn’t 100%.
I can’t see babcock inserting someone that isn’t 100% (unless it’s a matthews, marner, nylander, kadri) especially coming off that win.

I think it was at least a bit more even than the first two games. I missed the first period and part of the second actually, but I hear the first Leafs pp goal was due to a bad delay of game penalty. So hard to complain too much, since Boston suffered from officiating too.

Marchand was his usual douchey self getting away with some crap he shouldn't, like when he slewfooted Johnson and when he tripped Marner when they were lined up for a faceoff before the puck even dropped. I don't get that second one. They had to wait for Marner to get back on his feet to do the faceoff, yet no penalty? How is that not roughing or something?

I think the game was about as fair ref wise as you an expect for a playoff game (excepting Marchand, which doesn't seem to have to follow the normal rules).

The upside is that Chara's arms tire after 40-50 cross checks a game. He doesn't have stamina he once did.

Always knew this series would be determined by officiating.. they always are

Any coincidence Leafs dominate face off circle and next game the face off shenanigans begin again?
When was the last stretch of games the Bruins went with less than 2-3 penalties a game?

There was also the Marchand butt end to the head of Andersen.

The penalty against Boston was too hard to tell without looking at replay. The closest refs view was blocked and Gardiner immediately put his arm up to signal that it should be a penalty.

Oh, yeah. When he's battling for position with Plekanec and somehow his fist accidentally connects directly with Andersen's head. I'm sure that was a tragic accident and he felt very bad about it after.

Gardiner's stock is rising.

Between him calling penalties and Matthews calling the goals, why do we even need refs?

Obviously accidental... how could anyone 5'9" intentionally get his stick up that high

It was a close play, refs don't use replay for penalty calls. Glad he sold it a little.

Morrissey is probably gonna get suspended.

Then again, he doesn't play for the Leafs, so maybe not.
