Weird how Sportsnet notes that Ottawa had twice as many slot shots as Toronto did - to keep creating this narrative. At 5v5 Toronto had more HD chances and scoring chances than Ottawa did. Ottawa's chances came, largely because they didn't end their power play in 7 seconds. It's sort of part of the data you shouldn't ignore, unless you're trying to make up a story.

Stuzle doing his thang

Leafs bad / in crisis / overmatched etc is the narrative that gets clicks, views and likes.

It’s so transparent it’s laughable.

Clear trip.

It's legit. Jarnkrok was in a bad position to be putting his stick there - it wasn't going to accomplish anything but draw a penalty.

At what (frank)ing point does Tkachuk get a penalty got the hacks / whacks and poopa after the whistle?

Oh he got a “talking to” great but (frank)ing do your job and get some control on the game and call that bullpoop. Jesus

We all know the first time a Leaf does this it gets called.

Yup, it was deserved sadly

Grieg getting worked, have to love it

Stolarz throwing the body, love it

Stollie done with Greig's $hit.

The Stutmeister has questionable tendencies, so I'll always give him a hard time.

Good on Stolarz

Good kill leafs

How the (frank) is that a penalty on Stollie? The blue paint is his there the puck is nowhere near the crease so Greig skating through it shouldn’t result in a penalty to him. 🙄

Good kill leafs

Now kill the Sens.

Can’t take Greig’s bait.

Stollie getting 2 for being pissed off.

I think it was the twenty slashes that preceeded it

Refs create this poop by not doing their job. It's a tale we've all spouted forever.

Protect the goalie from being run.
Stop guys from slashing and hacking after the whistle.

The game would be faster, the game would be better and there would be less injuries and suspensions.

There's a reason for these magical rules that the NHL keeps conveniently forgetting.

Good on Stolarz

Love the fvcling commentator.

Grieg skates right through Stolarz' crease, gets knocked over..

"Stolarz initiated the contact".

Ya happy to get out of that 4 on 4. Stolarz got his shots in forsure.

Kudos to the crowd, they're rowdy. Love how they cheered when the Stollie penalty was announced!

Now kill the Sens.

I hope the refs just keep letting Stolarz knock the flying (frank) out of any douche willing to try to setup in the crease

This is the single biggest problem I have with the league.

I feel like teams should just designate a goon every game and Bobby Clarke the other team's top players. As long as the refs won't do their job, then the teams should do it for them.

Leafs need to win some faceoffs
