Former Referee and Officiating Director Calls out TOR-BOS Game 2 Officials.

[Sojourn]

Regardless, the other angle has already shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was on his skates when contact started. What a silly thing to be complaining about.

Ah sorry, yeah. I edited and added that.

Responding to both sides here... Why does it matter if he left his feet or not? It was still a dirty play... 1) A charge 2) boarding 3) hit from behind....

Wasn’t a hit from behind.

He hit him square in the numbers...

The way that every Toronto fan under the sun is already readying the “The refs won this series for the Bruins” excuse is as dumb as it is predictable.

It was a textbook hit.

It's a shoulder-to-shoulder hit on a guy playing the puck. This is the kind of hit that makes the playoffs the playoffs.

It wasn’t square at all. He came in from the side.

Lol... 'shoulder to shoulder'... Right...

Care to recosider?

 

[Rangers ftw]

Funny that all that is mentioned is stuff that didn’t go Leafs way, almost like he had an agenda with that article. Now with Kadri gone, who’s gonna protect the softest team in the league against big bad Bruins?

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

The reality is the Bruins went to the physical game after game 1 because they know Toronto is not built to counter it. It worked as well as they could have expected.

The only thing that the Maple Leafs fans have is to bitch about it and ask for more calls. There isn’t a team in these playoffs more challenged to win a physical game than the leafs.

He came in from the side. It’s clear as day.

Edit: If he were coming in from behind to make that hit, we would have been seeing his numbers too. The camera wth the low angle was behind, and that’s the direction Pastrnak would be heading in to hit him from behind.

Doug Ford needs to cut funding and give Auston some more MONEY. Buddy needs some incentive here

Leafs should not try to counter it, they beat boston with speed in game 1. in game 2 they got suckered into a bloodbath and lost kadri for it

Youre twisting things to fit your story. You can come from the side and still hit someone from behind...

Not really. Not unless he turned his back to him at the last moment. You’d be hitting them from the side. You might make contact with their back, but hitting them from behind is the direction of travel. He didn’t come from behind, so he couldn’t hit him from behind.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Maybe they should have called a few headshots that kadri took, like this one and the one on Krejci. He sure has a thing for going after guys heads. Its like all leaf players are not allowed to get hit, ppl should try watching the games from the 70s and 80s. These snowflakes would be fainting all over the place. This is playoff hockey, not soccer.

If the leafs can score first in game 3 at home, the Bruins are gong to have a real tough time asserting their game IMO. The leafs need to start fast and score early. If they can’t get on the board in the first half of the first, I think the game just plays more and more into the Bruins’ hands.

It’s playoff hockey. The hit is on the edge. It’s obviously not a clear cut hit from behind but it’s also not a classic shoulder to shoulder hit. It’s a playoff hockey play. Pasta got his two minutes. You’re crazy to ask for more.

I didn't ask for more... All I said was it was a dirty hit... 1) charge 2) boarding 3) hit from behind.

It’s not a dirty hit. You’ll die on that hill.

You, some other Leaf fans, and maybe Sean Avery.

Well, the refs agreed with me on that one...

Even worse than me.

I’m glad the refs hold credibility with you for this single play.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Even worse than me.

Hahaha

Always a pleasure PBF

 

[WesMcCauley]

Stop complaining, this happens every year. Refs lets them play and the team that loses the game complain about the ref...
Dont take obvious penalties and dont do anything suspension worthy and you will get away with a lot of minor stuff, we all know this.

This is almost as stupid as Liverpool fans making a petition trying to get Ramos punished for a minor tackle that ended in an injury. Embarrassing....
