I wonder what Doughty thinks of the Leafs today?
- bixll

I don't really care what he thinks because the Leafs are 7-2 and played a good game against a strong team last night

Probably the same as most of the league.
D not good enough right now.
- Fakepartofme

I disagree. If they were not 7 - 2 I would.

Apparently we didn't because Martin was shoulder to shoulder with the Kings defender and fell over trying to get position.

It was interference, why is he not allowed to get position?
Did you not see Komorovs penalty?
What is the difference?

totally agree.

After watching the play closely.

I gotta go with Mussel here *pukes*.

Seems to me like two players battling for position and Martin falling down, sliding on the goaltender.

If you call an interference penalty on this kind of contact, might as well spend the whole game on the powerplay.

But that is just my opinion.

And obviously the truth.

I personally think it was 100% the ref being a prima donna. They don't want to admit they get things wrong and that call was really wrong if you're going by the rule book.

With THAT SAID, I think the next goal was a high stick and was 100% a makeup call.

Well in this case, The Kings player is skating adjacent to him in a straight line. He's not obliged to change his trajectory in order to cede position to Martin. He doesn't make an overt move to interfere with him.

Remember last year when most people wrote off Kopitar and the Kings?
Too soon it appears.
Good game.

I remember a month and a half ago when people were saying that Kopitar has the worst contract in Hockey.


Speaking of, I figure the game is going to tighten up come January, but there's some good players that are on pace for some pretty high point totals. I wonder if we're gonna see multiple players with 100+ points this year. Would be pretty entertaining watching that unfold.

Why?
- Fakepartofme

cause you don't want him sitting in the press box.

Give me a break, he was blocking his angle to the front of the net the entire time.

You know what else?

I don't have the desire to lynch Hainsey even though Pens fans told me I would by game #1.

That's generous calling Max a people.

not good enough to contend for the cup.
decent for sure and played well last night,
But needs a lot of work.
Andersen played great last night...kept them in.

Meh.
Play Kap over leivo.
Leivo will play when someone gets injured.

I picked him every year in fantasy hockey

I didn't this year and he was picked in the 10th round I think. He was passed 50 times to many

It was not me saying Kopitar has worst contract in NHL you bumhead.

What's wrong with being sexy?

- bobbyisno1

So if we continue this logic, then clearing the front of the net is interference.

The player wants to be in front of your goalie. The defender isn't letting him by shoving him.

Probably the same as most of the league.

They have the peices to really upgrade that towards the deadline. I'm interested in seeing what they do.
