I’m reading penalty shot…

What am I missing?

The last point ....he wasn't "denied a scoring opportunity".

Jesus.

$24 to get in the building right now.

Not even standing room or obstruction - actual seats.

But also:

) The player in possession and control (or, in the judgment of the Referee, the player clearly would have obtained possession and control of the puck) must have been denied a reasonable chance to score. The fact that the player got a shot off does not automatically eliminate this play from the penalty shot consideration criteria. If the infraction was from behind and the player was denied a “more” reasonable scoring opportunity due to the infraction, then the penalty shot should still be awarded.

So I’m rewarding nylander a penalty shot based on this sentence. Hooked under the arm and then has to get his arm loose and get some force behind the shot. All within like what 1.5 seconds?

Keep in mind I’m a grumpy old man, but the “no penalty shot” call was consistent with how they have called it for the last 50 years.

I think a lot of it is having to make a call immediately. Ref is probably trying to process the whole thing and make a call within 7-8 seconds.

Under the rule I think it’s a penalty shot. They just have a lot of grey area to a make an argument either way.

Is it just me, or are the Leafs becoming a counterpunch offence?

I think that's part of it. I was rambling about that a few weeks back. Play tight and narrow ..other teams either take low percentage shots or try something that isn't there ....Leafs block shots or turn it over and break-out on the counterpunch.

I think you see it more tonight b/c the Caps are trying things and turning it over.

JT to the ribcage!

Leafs love giving up lower % shots ....block the jabs all night and win the battle with the real blows (high danger stuff).

I miss when boxing was good.

He may be fat, but he ain’t wrong about the Liberals.

Thankfully the most corrupt and disingenuous government in the history of the country is nearing its end.

Ugh.

Tavares is "consistant".

I get not everybody is great at elementary school spelling, but if you're the graphics person for TSN with millions of viewers, maybe it would be possible to, at the very least, use a spellchecker.

Gotta love the confidence, though.
