Letang should at least get 3 games for that cross-check on Couturier last night.
It was a retaliation play, and very dangerous - the Kadri suspension was exactly for that.

Penguins got gifted the game yesterday by refs.

Of the 16 playoff teams, 10 of them have more penalty minutes than the Leafs. Not every single call is always correct but the Leafs have earned a lot of their penalties because they're constantly chasing the Bruins. Eventually, when the pressure is strong enough, it leads to a penalty. And the Bruins only scored one PP goal in the last game. It's not like they went 5 for 10 on the PP last game.

Even though they won the game, people are still crying about the penalties. Kadri was coming off a pretty serious 3 game suspension and he crosschecked a Bruin in the back of the head. All he got was a stern talking to. Even if the referees were somehow out to get the Leafs, you'd think they'd call something blatantly obvious like that.

Did you watch the game on Saturday? A number of the penalties Toronto got had nothing to do with them chasing the Bruins. The Leafs were up 4-1 and were mostly in control at that time. Once they had to kill off all the calls was when they started chasing the play.

There have been times during this series where the Leafs have consistently dominated the play. In games 1,2 and 5 whenever they had some momentum the refs started calling penalties.

Jake Gardiner on his roughing penalty last night: “I guess I was the third man in. And my face hit Chara’s fist.”

How else do you build a 4-1 lead other than chasing...

He really was third man in.
If it was reversed, we all would have been screaming at the refs for a penalty.

Rough weekend for Toronto sports:
Jays lose 3 of 4
Raps choke away 2 games
The leafs almost blow a 4-1 lead again.

Let's go leafs.

Fine with that, it's the non-call on can't-do-no-wrong Chara that pisses me off.

one small comforting fact is that reffing is not just against the leafs.
pittsburgh gets the sweetheart treatment as well.
i guess garry wants a pitts-boston Eastern Conference Finals.

I loved the slash penalty we got because a Bruin broke his stick taking a shot.
Or the holding/non holding penalty we got as well.

(frank)ing refs.
(frank)ing Bruins.
(frank)ing RJ.

Somebody posted up the PIMs and outside of ANA/SJ, TOR's was the most lopsided: 2:1 in favour of Boston.

Leafs were 28th most penalized team in the league, Boston 7th. Somehow, magically, that trends been reversed in 5 playoff games... you know, because we started dressing McLaren, Orr, Tucker, Corson, and Tiger Williams again.

We won't be able to switch over the Canucks game!


Because I don't get the Golf channel.

I honestly thought we'd be manhandled in this series, but that hasn't been the case.

It's been a weird one.

Outside of game 1 when we looked lost and rusty, lots of bad bounces, terrible special teams outcome (I wouldn't have thought our PK would've died on us instantly), and some shoddy reffing.

the line adjustments have worked and our depth has a slight edge over their depth at this point.

I feel pretty good about tonight, so yeah.

If any team could come back in a series this year (so far) its us. You are right about the bounces, just crazy. Last game 2 of their goals were bounces. The second goal was a brutal bounce, guy clears it high on the glass and it bounces directly out front, just brutal.

As long as we get fair reffing, and Andersen is Andersen....we can do this!

I feel good about tonight too. Last change and home ice should be a good advantage tonight. Plus a lot went wrong sat as far as a penalties and what not.
