GDT: Game Three: Boston Bruins At Toronto Maple Leafs (7:00 PM EST - SN, CBC)

[TorMapleJays]

I don't feel good about this game. I hope Matthews gets the next goal. We need him to continue being lights out.

That’s trauma.

 

[Superstar]

Refs have called a fair game

Tavares looked soft on that 2 v 2 which led to that penalty at the end of 2nd

Leafs have been the better team 5 v 5 for the vast majority of the series

Boston's 4th line has been mostly unplayable so if the Leafs can continue to somewhat run 4 lines they'll eventually wear the Bruins down throughout the game/series

Win or lose, I'm happy with what this Leafs TEAM has finally become...

Unless they eliminate the Bruins and win another round at least, this Leaf team hasn't become anything unfortunately.

 

[On-the-Fly]

The goal:

That's some Lalime level tending right there.

 

[Burnie97]

There is no winning ref arguments, which is why I try (not always successfully) to avoid them.

Good point. Lol. I fail there.

Just so frustrating.

In the playoffs I'd be good with penalties only on the worst of the worst type of plays. Really obvious shit.

 

[LeafsFan89]

That’s trauma.

100%.

 

[SprDaVE]

Seems like you’re typical playoff Leaf letdown loss… these similar vibes and circumstances are unreal

100%. You can tell when just nothing goes their way offensively and it's going that way.

I suspect Boston will score early in the 3rd and it will unravel a bit.

 

[Gallagbi]

Boston was always gonna get some calls, but I’m not actually convinced that last high sticking call that the stick even made contact with the bruin

Bert? It looks like glove to me, a high hit but not a high stick

 

[DarkKnight]

Messier singing Marner's praises, this clown.

 

[TorMapleJays]

1-1. Win the next period.

 

[Evilhomer]

It isn't about how many penalties are called, it is about when they are called. Matthews gets choked slammed behind the net and Reaves get dumped on a two on one scoring opportunity nothing. Bert throws a hit along and the boards and its "roughing" because Coyle grabbed his face. This league is an absolute joke. The lack of calls shifted momentum to the Bruins.

Fans of literally every team in every sport think the refs are out to get their team. It's what fans do.

 

[thewave]

Exactly, a bunch of illegal Bruins stuff is being totally IGNORED !!!

That tackle on Matthews by McAvoy SHOULD have been called. It was a blatant hold and THREW Matthews to the ice.

Jacobs has his henchmen in stripes working their magic to HELP HIS BRUINS.

f*** off Jacobs, Bettman, and the NHL !!!

Yes but the shot was an easy save. The special teams is all on us. The refs were helping us not them before that sequence. No excuses in thia game.

 

[Sypher04]

need a replay on that, anyone got one would be nice. Coyle has been an embellisher this series.

I don’t unfortunately. I rolled it back like 3 times on my tv and was like, I don’t see the contact.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Win the 3rd, win the game, That's all that matters now.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Boston was always gonna get some calls, but I’m not actually convinced that last high sticking call that the stick even made contact with the bruin

Thought the same. I think the ref saw the dude grab his face and reacted...oh well.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

It’s amazing to me honestly how effective Ratchand is at picking his spots. Not only does he get away with the most obvious trip ever but they also score right after.

The guy is a generational rat.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Of course a soft goal on Samsonov

 

[Sypher04]

Bert? It looks like glove to me, a high hit but not a high stick

Yeah, it looked like glove/forearm to me

 

[Burnie97]

Game ain't over. This is when it gets real.

Stupid by Bertuzzi there but he's been good at times... amazing pass by Marner for the goal... but he's also made some stupid plays.

It can be both things.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

refs arent a factor.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Dig in. Let’s Go BOYS

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Not the worse NHL has seen. All time cringe belongs to the Spartans and Senators

If you know you know

Holy f*** that was the worst

 

[PromisedLand]

just start the 3rd already.

i can't put up with this waiting tension of leafs having to f***ing kill a penalty to start the 3rd in a tied game

 

[egd27]

I can tell you which will get endless blame regardless of the answer

Not if they keep their heads and win the game

 

[Evilhomer]

Win the 3rd, win the game, That's all that matters now.

There is an overtime game coming in this series at some point, but I think that will be games 4 and 5.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Which coach do you think will do a better job having his guys stay focused ?

They’ll both try but it really is up to the players to keep themselves in check.
