Annnd after two periods Leafs lead the Refs 2-1.

this is fine

I teeny tiny wish Matthews wakes up one day and is like, "man I'm in a pissed off mood. I'm going to use my massive frame to (frank)ing wreck a Bruin tonight."

Nick Ritchie for a 3rd...

He dummy those guys for sure...

go refs go!!

Mikheyev gets bumped of balance trying to defend by the bruin without the puck which gives them more space that leads to DeBrusk forgetting how to skate once a stick gets near his, interesting

They won’t score on this one.


The PP they’ll get a minute later, will have a different result, though.

Love not getting PPs after accidental contact

Refs got it wrong.

No big deal. Move on

ok.
so let's all agree.

Lindholm > Petan.

In your mind, sure.

But it’s a penalty in today’s hockey.

lindholm was absolutely awful and babcock played him i will take petan who babcock doesnt play over lindholm who is equally awful and would have played

Ignoring Chara, because maybe he's just so big that Refs can't see what he's doing . . . The Bruins do a lot of "new" type of interference. Like when a guy does a fly-by forecheck, a Bruin will just pop the stick on them a little. Just enough to slow them up, put them off balance, just as the break out pass goes. They've done it at least three times this game already. No one falls. Nothing is overt. If it was called interference it would be incredibly chincy. But it works. It makes the late forward even later in getting back into the play.

lindholm wasn't awful for the leafs.

ok.

It’s crazy how a Leaf fan can call Lindholm poop watching him for 60 games on the Leafs and when he’s playing for the opposite team all of a sudden he’s better in two periods.

Hmm, I wonder what’s going on here in your head....

In your mind, sure.

But it’s a penalty in today’s hockey.

Meh. Bruins do it after every play. It's part of why they're successful. Love seeing a teammate stick up for another. Goes a long long way in the dressing room.

If you don't like my comment, don't read it. You taught me that

Leafs (or Babcock teams) are a master at that. Leafs "interfere" more than most others I'd say

He's the biggest hypocrite on these boards. Says one thing, does completely the opposite. Not to be trusted

Yeap, every dump in the one D will just hold up the forechecker a bit while his partner gets back easy. Do it a ton in the playoffs and never get called even though it is interference. I've noticed the leafs have started doing it a bit this year and haven't been getting called so at least they are learning lol

[quote=Santo_44]

except at the time of the trade I already said it was a dumb move.
you might not agree with me, but I thought Lindholm was doing just fine for the Leafs just year
