Lol, muscled a guy off the puck and got called for tripping...refs can just **** right off in this game (especially after a cross check from behind just a couple min ago)

3rd time i've seen our guys taken out by our goalie after the whistle, no calls

...correction, we get cross-checked to the ice and somehow BOTH get a penalty? 4 on 4 at least

Couple posts recently for Toronto but we've been putting on solid pressure too, lots of uncalled obstruction/interference has neutered most of them

They ALMOST called a penalty on Bishop for what was a clean hit to the chest on a guy who tried to cut across the ice, strangely they actually reviewed it and called NO penalty...I'm shocked they pulled their heads out of their @$$es with the way they've called this game so far

(of course "ref you suck" is now being chanted lol)

Oh look, another weak garbage call where two guys collide and we get a penalty, gotta keep trying to help Toronto get some goals (penalties now 6-2 for Toronto)

EDIT: Marchmant literally had to blow through Shilkey nowhere near the play at center ice to get a 2 min penalty

I'd have to look at the rulebook, but Saarela basically had a free goal, got interfered with and shoved into the goal (preventing him from shooting), and the puck hit something after that and didn't go in...I thought they could award a goal if a basically free tap in on an EN doesn't go in due to interference from the defending team?

I'm really not trying to tell you how to watch -- I mean, you do you and everything -- but this seems awful. I think we're way past the point of expecting brilliance out of officials, so I know I'm better off just ignoring it and not letting it take away from my enjoyment of the game. The refs are gonna call what the refs are gonna call. Whatever. But again, you do you.

seemed to be a mish mash of line combos last night. Anyone have the lines they started out with last night? Only one that seemed to stay in tact was Geekie, Saarela and Pot

Even easier: just don't give a shit who wins!

Easier still: don't waste your life watching sporting events!

Sage advice indeed. But not everyone can be so sanguine.

Lineups were on the Checkers twitter last night but I believe it was roughly:

Saarela-Geekie-Pots
Pritchard-Brown-Goat
Lorentz-Roy-Mattheos
Natasiuk-Bishop-Shilkey
