Why does Maroon have a mullet?

 

[Stammertime91]

Phantom call. Why not call nostrils for starting the ending scrum?

Clean hit. Giordano fell to the ice like Hulk threw him down.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

What a bitch call.

? It's a clean play.

But the result is a penalty. I don't know why you make that hit in the offensive zone at the end of the period. Refs are bad, and we know this - so why give them an opportunity to blow a call?

 

[Coopers Gum]

There go the lightning manipulating those refs again!

 

[Felonious Python]

Look at my guy in the top hat. Which one of us made it to the game?

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Had to even the calls out because DoG was too much in our favour.

 

[DaBolts]

Bolts HFB: Move Hagel to the first line

Hagel: Here, hold my Stamkos

Because it's a physical series and you make the hits that are clean. It was barely a hit. The ref that was 4 feet away didnt even call it .

Are we going to get a PP? The refs set the precedent if you board a guy you get a powerplay in your favor.

I think Maroon is getting it.

Is this game rigged?

 

[Hoek]

On the plus side we won't have a lead to blow late in the game since the Leafs will score right away

 

[DFC]

Is this game rigged?

No, we just have no faith in the team to kill a penalty

That was a clean hit and Mathews should have gotten an instigator regardless

 

[EmptyNetAssassin]

The refs are trying to keep the LEafs in the game so hard. Reilly's hit on Point was way more vicious and they took away the right call.

Is this game rigged?

This entire series has been rigged. I turned the game off - I’m not going to waste any more of my time and energy on a sport with as much legitimacy as professional wrestling.

The refs made a mistake taking away the Brayden Point goal, but I've been pretty satisfied with the officiating this series. Do they miss stuff? Sure, but they don't call everything on the Lightning (which they've done pretty egregiously in the past).

 

[Lightning1995]

How does Mathews not get an instagtor?
