What about the Simmonds hit on Hughes? That was pretty dangerous so late in the game.
The precedent was set by not calling the hit on Kerfoot. It wasn't exactly kosher, but it wasn't as bad or as blatant. Call the hit on Kerfoot and the hit on Hughes likely doesn't happen.What about the Simmonds hit on Hughes? That was pretty dangerous so late in the game.
Well documented zebra abuser.if you just take Kerfoot out of the penalty/powerplay equation for the Leafs this year, how much more even does it look?
I really wonder whose wife he met at a bar
Or send a message to the other team. you dish out hits like the one on Kefoot. When the opportunity presents itself the deed will be returned no matter who the target is. Glad we have Simmonds to perform this duty.Similar hit in the 3rd , Benn fought Simmons for that hit. Who fought for Kerfoot? No one... I got a theory he is not well liked on the team.
Brutal hit should have been boarding, hitting from behind, attempted murder... something...
You have to send a msg to the refs, you either call the game honestly or you are going to have a long long night.
Marner got hit from behind in the game too. How come you missed that one. I’ll go fid that one too i suppose. He was just slammed cross check face first in to the boards right as Matthews scored from his back pass.What about the Simmonds hit on Hughes? That was pretty dangerous so late in the game.

I’m not inclined to think we should be returning the favour on hits from behind. I personally think they are dangerous and cowardly. I would like to see opponents eating rights for it though. Its as bad as slewfoot for me.
Refs have to call the game as it plays out. Otherwise its crooked and I’m not accepting fixed games
Haha atta boy give up your dirty little secretsI agree that hits from behind are an act of cowardice and if the league wanted them stopped, you'd start seeing a steady parade of 3 gamers being handed out. Unfortunately though we don't see the league doing a thing about it, and if the refs don't call them, then something absolutely has to be done about it even if it's as simple as returning the favour! The opposition reaps what they've sown, too bad so sad, I also believe the same should go for that "hands shoulder wide hit into the lower back" crosscheck, except go one better and deliver the crosscheck just above the elbow pad and below the deltoid protector, no matter how tough you think you may be it hurts like a son of a gun, the added bonus is it lasts.
I thought it was over....that things were looking fair again....and then, with an almost perfect game from the team and Freddy about to earn a shutout:
Oh good, we've become more like Habs fans.![]()
If you are as blind as the refs and don’t see the problem, call up Colin Campbell, he’s got a job for ya.This board has gotten toxic no doubt about it. There's always a victim complex about something here these days.
He put his stick down on the ice and the guy turned on it is another versionIf you pause you can see his stick between his feet. Did it create him going down? No I dont think it did but if your stick is there and the guys feet slide out it's probably getting called. You would be begging for a call if it was the other way.
You have been in here with nothing but attempts to minimize every sh!t call against the leafs.They at least call that fairly consistently.
I think it is fair. It's not like he fell when the stick was nowhere near him.
The Marner thing wasn't too vicious, so that is probably fine. That was definitely a trip on Mikheyev though.

Why are you all Sh!t in knots trying to minimize every crap call in this thread. You are wrong man they are all bad calls. Marner getting boarded works ok for you. Ok i see.
Blatantly ignored not missed and this is the take you have![]()
