Florida up 4-2 and Leafs on 6th powerplay of night with 14 minutes left in 2nd period

 

[SPLBRUIN]

The Leafs on their 6th PP of the game 5 minutes into the 2nd period against Florida. Matt Murray pulled after giving up 4 goals on 8 shots.

Bruins are lucky to get 7 power plays over a four game stretch lol

 

[SPLBRUIN]

We better hope we don’t see Lambert and St.Laurent as refs when we play the Leafs. These 2 clowns tonight might as well be wearing Leafs jerseys.

Lambert and St.Laurent.

Another questionable penalty on Florida, make it 8 PP's now.

And yet another pp for the Leafs....geesh

 

[22Brad Park]

8th powerplay like fkoff

[SPLBRUIN]

Wow, they actually reversed the Panthers penalty and gave it to Toronto, what a clown show.

The belief some have that the Leafs get the rub of the green with the refs is a myth. There's absolutely nothing in the penalty stats to back it up.

Bias in individual games? Maybe. But in general, it's just not true.

You haven't been watching this game Aussie, it's pretty bad. For the record I have always believed that some refs favour certain teams over others, refs are human after all and were fans as kids.

They get it vs Bruins I swear lol See what Matthews did there instead of confronting cousins for the crosschecks

Yeah I haven't, I acknowledge that (for the record I'm watching Jets-Habs). So no comment on this particular game. But the posts here just made me think of that general viewpoint that's out there around bias towards Toronto. And it just doesn't wash with the numbers.

I do think bias in officials exists, but I think by far the bigger influence is sheer incompetence and human error, mixed with mistaken attempts at game management. That's the bigger issue for me.

And another penalty on Florida, looked like a clean hit to me by Gudas.

 

[bwunderlich]

Charging penalty?
and boom.

just incompetent crew. . .both ways.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Leafs of course score. Florida will have a hard time winning this game in the 3rd as they are on back to backs and they have been on the PK for half the game.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

The Panthers must be regretting the hiring of Maurice, never been a fan of his. Had some stacked teams in Winnipeg and could never even get to the finals.

Charging??? How the h311 is that charging? And Matthew's scores. Brutal.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Terrible call, I agree.

 

[danpantz]

That game is wild

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Charging??? How the h311 is that charging? And Matthew's scores. Brutal.

Even Leaf homer Elliote Friedman said that it wasn't a penalty.

 

[22Brad Park]

haha penalty shot

Even Leaf homer Elliote Friedman said that it wasn't a penalty.

I saw that .He never liked call on Gudas said its a rep call. How can it be a charge two feet away from him

 

[22Brad Park]

9 powerplays & penalty shot..Nothing can justify that just nothing. And still 16 mins left
