What is up with Sportsnet?

First we have that Spector guy trolling Leaf fans, then we have Kypreos against the Leafs now we have John Shannon on NESN bad mouthing the Leafs and sucking up to Bruin fans.

The Leafs ownership employs these guys, grow a spine and show them the door.

When you consider that no one on Sportsnet can say anything bad about this crapfest tire fire that's the Blue Jays, it's a good point you're making.

Kadri deserved that suspension.

Anyone know if DeBrusk has started feeling better in the last few hours? Less headaches, less light sensitivity?
- BetterCallSaul

He just fell out of the van. I think he's ok

Hey, remember when Marchand cross-checked McDonald, who was lying on the ice, right in the face? Remember how there was zero suspension even regular season games as this happened in early April last year? Meanwhile Kadri gets possibly 5 playoff games. Don't worry, Boston doesn't get special treatment, nothing to see here...

That’s just tough Bruins hockey though?

(frank) yeah! Columbus will not know what hit him!
- Aaron_85

They will see the replay clearly a stick to the teeth in game 2. Then on to Washington for Kadri.

According to Player Safety, it’s a Bruin hockey play, no suspension.

You’re on a witch hunt that has nothing to do with Kadri’s deserved suspension. Why not go further back when Suter concussed Kariya with the worst crosscheck ever. Leafs stick to playing hockey & not worry about what they don’t control. If they got what it takes to win the series it’s earned. Everybody knew this was not an easy series & i’d worry more about AM still not performing in the biggest games.

Not a Bruin fan, so I too hate Marchand.

Those acts are not equivalent though. It's a cheap shot, and maybe could've been a game because it's Marchand.

Kadri's is worse. He's angry. He ranges over to him, and hits him in stride with a wind up cross-check to the head.

Kadri deserves what he gets. Dumb play.

But does any of this happen if the refs actually called some double minors and sat some instigators out in the 1st before it gets out of hand?

Call the game like it's written in the rulebook. Why is this such a foreign concept?

Think it's cos it involves the team we're playing against?

You seem to worry about a lot of thing Leafs. Not just Matthews

Let's go boys....Willy is ready to score again....Hopefully, in the Bruins net this time

I already am disappointed with you.
- Steven_Seagull

Fack the Bruins.
Hit Marchand in the face.
and give DeBrusk the same treatment while we're at it.

Just had the first bbq of the year until 11.30pm here..
15th of April and already 20degrees celsius until midnight !

Tavares against Bergeron again. Let's do it!

I’d dominate my Willie if that happens.
- Steven_Seagull

I'll dominate your Willie if that happens.

Boston native official tonight. What a troll job by the NHL....prediction, Bruins get more PP opportunities and get away with murder...again.

Fack the Bruins.

Kadri's is worse. But this was regular season and he didn't even get a thing. Not even 1 regular season game.

Location: I hate
contact. Especially, in
the corners.

Yeah! Get more suspensions!
- JohnFergusonJr

if Willie does it, I'll instantly like him!

and while we're at it, please rough up Don Cherry as well.

You are right, I definitely haven't noticed him.

Yeah, it's his linemates fault.
- Aetherial

If you watch a player all game to find negative plays that’s all you’ll see.

Yeah! Get more suspensions!
- JohnFergusonJr

Moar grit

btw did you guys know that kyle bukauskas is bob mckenzie's illegitimate son?

The Habs dominated the 70s by playing fast and skilled hockey in an era of absolute shenanigans; if we stick to our game and let the BS wash over us, we'll do fine.

the Bruins won't know what has happened to them after 60minutes.
bye bye Rask
