Bunting is a despicable loser who due to his play has made not only refs but the league dislike him. So because of HIS approach to the game he no longer gets any rope.

This is nothing new.

Also, he doesn’t listen to his coach 100% of the time so I’m kind of convinced at this point that Dubas is essentially trying to force things with Keefe but now it finally has gone too far even for the GM to go to bat for him.

Also, people talking about if he should be in the lineup or not blow me away… the leafs have won 3 games in a row, 2 as comebacks they took in OT, why the hell would any coach break up that current roster without an injury?

Your opinion of Bunting can be true, and the fact that the League is doing exactly the same thing they did to Kadri is also true.

Player draws too many penalties
Refs feel like they are being shown up
Refs stop calling any foul against said player
Teams immediately realize this and target player
Player loses his poop and commits a foul
League issues suspension out of line with other offenses, similar or otherwise
Player is no longer a "first time offender" so next suspension will be worse.

The good news is that Captain Holl won't hit anything.

You know, Florida cops don't have the greatest reputation...

Leafs come out flying tonight.
Leafs take a cheap penalty like interference or hooking.
Tampa scores the first goal.

Then... we get to see whether this is the same Leafs team that collapsed against Montreal as soon as the Habs got a lead.

Those were the days.

When the Habs could get a lead.

Leafs score early and often, Tampa figures (frank) it, we've had three long playoffs in a row, an early summer would be pretty sweet. Let's face it, we ain't beating the Leafs three straight. 6-1 Leafs, Matthews hat trick, JT, Nylander, Knies.

I think it's the no beer in the house.

That is terrifying

19 years of abysmal failure are in my pants.

Hey, I'm talking about the Leafs' playoff record - you shut your ugly face!

Damn my ugly face.

Oh my God, I am so scared.

Sergei has been pretty mediocre the past three/four years, so he doesn't have to bring it up a lot
- AdamFrench

That's fair.

Bobrovsky is back on the case!

Gonna go 5-2 Leafs. Gonna be 3-2 until Leafs get an empty-netter at 18:43. Add another and run out the clock.

I haven't been wrong in a clinching game 5 against Tampa Bay on a Thursday night yet.

That's fair.

Looks like a Soviet Crackerjack toy.

this is what I suspect also, Dubas would be a hot commodity if he was a FA

@JeffVeillette

Kypreos suggests here that the lack of Dubas extension isn't so much MLSE being on the fence about him, but Dubas betting on himself & market demand to get the right contract. This isn't overly surprising and squares with some stuff I've heard.

"Why we got the Kyle Dubas and Maple Leafs contract stalemate all wrong"

Because you're poop "journalists?"

Fun fact:

Someone is asking $1,204.99 for a single standing room, obstructed view ticket in section 323S, Row 19 for tonight's game on Ticketmaster.

No way in hell they get it, but still hilarious.

Leafs score 4 in the first period, Vasilevskiy gets pulled in a desperation move by the Bolts.

Brian Elliot comes in and shuts the door. Bolts make a gutsy comeback to within 1 but Leafs put away an empty netter to seal the deal.

What's a 309ish section ticket going for

Tampa wins tonight. 5-2, Leafs never in it.

Leafs win a closely fought game 6 in a game 3 remake to end the series.

Book it.
