Benson engaged him and Dahlin choked him from behind. I'm fine with the no call on that, as neither are good at fighting. But to make the play by Gaddy seem like headhunting is a stretch. He stepped on the ice, touched the puck, and a guy was coming fast directly at him. If Kulich steps left or right as he's skating at him, it's likely a Buffalo goal. Like I said, unfortunate.

He comes off the bench, touches the puck, initiates contact with a non-puck carrier. I understand reverse hits, but he hits a guy reaching for the puck who never actually touched it and launches upwards. It's an interference penalty. The fact that the refs called a 5 to review, and then DOWNGRADE to no penalty is honestly such a poor management of the game and the rulebook it's beyond stupid.

Benson engaging doesn't automatically mean a penalty. Dahlin maybe I could see a 2 for a rouch but he didnt really punch him or anything. If you want to call 2 on Gaddy and 2 on Dahlin, fine. But nothing for Gaddy is absolutely inexcusable by the league. He isn't looking to do anything with the puck - he launches TOWARDS Kulich. That's a penalty

Matheson lol

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Who was the Habs player that dove there?! That was brutal

 

[HockeyVirus]

Too bad we will face the Sens Habs would be fun to beat in round 1

 

[CowbellConray]

He has the skill, he just lacks the brain…

Fair enough! Stinks too because I do like watching him play when he is firing on all cylinders

Typical Leaf love by the officials.

Like I said, it was unfortunate. I'd be fine with a major and penalties on Benson and Dahlin, but the refs saw the original hit more like I did. As far as the puck goes, he touched it and lost it as Kulich skated into him while he was moving forward. Is he supposed to duck and take out Kulich's legs?

What a terrible flop.

 

[All Mod Cons]

If the Leafs don't get any calls in the playoffs, they'll not make it to the usual 7 games.

I'd expect him a the very least to brace or move the puck and take a hit. Not to launch into a player who isn't engaging with him. Kulich isn't engaging with him at that moment, the FLA player launches into Kulich to create the contact

Kulich skated right into him. He tucked the shoulder. We might have a different notion of launching.

I think we do. To me, it's a launch into him. We can agree to disagree

8 hits, 4 shots, one goal…make him the Forrest Gump of hockey…

Now he doesn‘t only shoot and score, he also hits…then will come.

PoMo must have talked to him.
“Jesse, do you like to be hit?”
- No, it hurts.
“Why don’t you hurt them instead?”
- I don’t understand, coach. How?
“Jesse, ffs, hit them first!”
…long pause …
- Okay, coach. Is it time.

We are all Leafs Nation tonight !!

Go Leafs Go

No thanks, I'm self-deporting

 

[toddkaz]

Florida Broadcast is insufferable

Their knees must be bleeding by the end of the season.

Did you get the 7 day notice as well?

I say this everytime I watch them. Biggest homer broadcast in the league

 

[Nicko999]

What does Suzuki do that’s elite?

Cute obsession you have with the Habs. You say you are a Sens fan but 90% of your posts are about the Habs.
Sad.

 

[BB79]

I'd welcome Leafs Nation deporting me. Anything I can do to speed up the process

 

[Summer Rose]

No thanks, I'm self-deporting

I just hope both teams have fun.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Kudos to Tuch. Not a guy he should be fighting, but gotta like a guy stepping up.

Every Florida hit is a good hit and every Buffalo hit should be a penalty with these guys.

Every UPL save is pure luck and every Vanecek save is the greatest save ever.

ugh
