[kwichang]

ouch - that ear will be ringing for a while

 

[Strangle]

Guessing that is the last time you’ll see Staal going down beside a guy.

Not the last time you’ll lose him going down in front of one though

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Nylander's fat head needs to be speed bagged before this series ends

 

[Summer Rose]

Refs helping FLA. Staal smiling as he comes off the ice.

I'm sure he got hit in the head with the puck on purpose.

refs definitely been favoring the leafs.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

They actually blew the whistle for someone going down for once. Impressive.

 

[RedRocking]

Kampf/Lafferty - new core

Refs blow play dead to make sure someone isn’t seriously injured after getting hit with puck

Leafs fans: RIGGED REFS HATE US!!!

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Uh oh. Refs are 'interpreting' calls again...

 

[hatterson]

Ref was very fast with that whistle, maybe a little too fast, but with all the crap the NHL gets (deservedly) for how they handle head injuries re: suspensions, I don't have much issue with them erring on the side of caution when a puck hits a dude in the side/back of the head.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Is that area considered the head now?

Earlier in the series, when Bennet and Gudas were hitting Leaf players in that same area, it wasn't....

Don't pick on sod farmers.

 

[zeykshade]

Rielly the only Leaf who wants to win

Nah, Acciari and Lafferty as well. But they're relatively recent Leafs. They haven't been infected yet.

 

[AcerComputer]

nah you don’t f*** with head injuries. Could be nothing but could hit the right spot and be lethal. Let’s be classy

That's why you let the play go for a few sec and see what happens. You don't stop the game because a guy take a puck off the helmet.

 

[TheFurryPickle]

I'm sure he got hit in the head with the puck on purpose.

thank you handsome

I am a hurricane next round

 

[robertocarlos]

Holy shit.


Whistle went off before he was even down....

Jesus

The arena sound is not synced to the picture. You can hear them say goal before the puck is in the net.

 

[Strangle]

That’s a bullshit icing call

 

[Dr Pepper]

Is that area considered the head now?

Just seemed like an easy whistle to me, Staal taking a shot up high, more often than not the ref stops play.

 

[pcruz]

Great call on that icing.

 

[Master P]

Doesn't the tie go to the defensemen?

 

[Bruce Granville]

Kampf/Lafferty - new core

More core than the core four.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

That’s a bullshit icing call

They let a few go, so I don't know what icing is today.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

That's why you let the play go for a few sec and see what happens. You don't stop the game because a guy take a puck off the helmet.

And he possibly gets hit again? Heads way more important than a nothing play

 

[Felidae]

Clutch defensive play by Marc Staal tbh.

Sure thing Ace……

 

[Razamanaz]

Don't give 'em any rope (hope) those syrup Northern boys - a'll ya Southern boys.

As if I had a say as a Finland boy. Rememeber ...

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Leafs getting bullied
