Did Bunting cross the line here?

[hotcabbagesoup]

the crazy thing is Bunting wasnt like this in Arizona.. he used to be a good kind kid.

it's only when he went to TO and went out to those crazy parties with Matthews that he's gone psycho
.

There’s no law against yapping. This just sounds like a yappy player mouthing off and trying to get under a star players skin. Probably happens every game.

I would guess there is no probably about it.

Wow, yeah, this is just terrible to see. Definitely crossed the line here. Suspension incoming? I could see a few games.

A few games? We need to make an example out of him, this is 100% unacceptable.

I was shaking as I watched the video. My son walked in and asked "Dad, what's wrong?". I immediately pushed him out of the room, hoping he didn't see what was on my screen. Unfortunately, I think I was too late. He has been distant and recently woke up from a nightmare yelling "SHUT THE f*** UP SHUT THE f*** UP SHUT THE f*** UP!"

Shame on you Mr. Bunting, I hope you are happy with yourself

Scheifele is one of the biggest clowns in the game. Not surprised to see a player react like that.

 

[Mattb124]

That sort of outburst simply won’t be acceptable in the second round of the playoffs.

Nothing to see. Like always with Bunting.

Bunting would be worth paying attention to if he just once backed up his shitbaggery, but he doesn’t. Just a yapper. No big deal. I’m sure Scheifele didn’t even notice him.

That’s fair. It didn’t look like Scheifele noticed there was a game going on either.

LOL what a looser

Why leave out the context? Liljegren got hit with the puck up high and was down on the ice hurt, and Scheif was crying to the ref of where the faceoff should be. This is Bunting telling him to shut up because his team mate is injured

Context is usually supposed to make things better, this just makes Bunting sound like a spoiled little child. Teams are entitled to discuss with the refs where a faceoff should be. Bunting is basically just throwing a temper tantrum like a whiney, entitled, little ***** because the Leafs were not granted special privileges.

 

[1specter]

Scheifele is a bitch boy so this was deserved

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Both players are both known to be pretty dirty. Weird play here to call out Bunting when Schieff has been suspended for an entire playoff series before.

I would understand a thread about Bunting hitting up high or on the numbers, but this is just.... weird, and also the full situation was intentionally ignored to highlight one players interaction.

Talking tough from the bench

Spare me that

Here is the video of Scheifele complaining to the ref.

That’s fair. It didn’t look like Scheifele noticed there was a game going on either.

He must have been embarrassed at how Matthews made him look bad on the 1st goal he scored.

 

[Rob Brown]

What in the flying f***?

How is this even thread worthy?

It's not.

People rip on the Leafs players for not being passionate and emotional, and now that they are it's an issue.

In the past Leafs players get accused of not sticking up for each other. We see Bunting doing that and now someone asks if he crossed a line.

Here is the video of Scheifele complaining to the ref.

Ok, and? A teams Captain\Assistant is supposed talk to the ref if they have an issue with where a faceoff should be, it's their job. Do you think the world supposed to stop just because something bad happened to the Leafs? Are other teams just supposed to say "oh poor Leafs, I guess we'll just surrender our right to discuss plays with the refs"?


This is a complete non-issue that only became an issue because Bunting is (once again) acting like a spoiled little child throwing a temper tantrum.

In the past Leafs players get accused of not sticking up for each other. We see Bunting doing that and now someone asks if he crossed a line.

Sticking up for each other? He was talking to the ref not kicking the Leaf player on the ice.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

To be fair, Scheifele complains to the refs after every whistle

 

[PanniniClaus]

There can't be an issue here, Scheifele is a piece of shit and everyone knows it. Bunting reminded him of it.

 

[Cotton]

People act like it's news that Bunting is a baby, so they make a thread for something everyone already knows

Actually he was pissed off for a good reason, Liljigren was face down on the ice after taking a shot to the dome and Shiffele was whining to the ref, in front of the injured player, about stopping play. Bunting snapped at him as he skated by.

You would have to be one hell of a loser fan to think Bunting is the douche here.

Since Bunting plays for the Leafs did you really expect him to get the benefit of the doubt?

 

[Reality Czech]

Bunting is a scumbag, we already knew this.

 

[Leafidelity]

Scheifele is a clown, good on Bunting telling him off.

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

Bunting finds out Scheifele is speaking with the official…

 

[MCR74]

Scheifele probably gets this kind of treatment more often than we know of, so no big deal.

 

[swiftwin]

If by "crossing the line" you mean being a whiny cry baby, then yeah.

You think that's a normal response for someone who's angry/pissed? He looked like he was almost crying and then screamed the same thing over and over. I don't care if Scheifele said he was going to beat his mom up, Bunting gave the response of a 10 year old who had his gaming system taken away
