Lafferty fined $3K+ for cross-checking Ross Colton

[HamiltonNHL]

But they are serious about controlling who wins and loses.....

... as expected.

Business is Business.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I am not even surprised anymore



Gotta play our best and then not get muddled with this bs. simple as that.

 

[Hellcat]

Was it Stammer or Kuch who laid a cross check to the back of Rielly’s neck after he was taken down?

Stamkos.



Consistency maybe?

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Maybe we need to sign up for the same acting classes as the Bolts.
Point should be nominated for an Oscar.

 

[Leafblooded]

Tampa team is garbage whining f***ing little bitch boys, clinging on for dear life and they're gonna play as dirty as possible and manipulate the refs into evening up the game. f*** their dirty lawyer coach and f*** their entitled aging vets. Too bad Perry has no teeth left to knock out. I hope they all need dentures after this series and here's to putting this Karen boomer franchise out of its goddamn misery already.

 

[The Best Leafs Everr]

Need to chop their heads. They penalize us anyways. Do it big and extremely dirty. They should regret playing a single game in this series from now on.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Stamkos.



Consistency maybe?

The consistent factor is... It's inconsistent

Just gotta roll with the punches sadly

 

[stats1]

At this point just take pride in these fines and suspensions. League is not used to the Leafs pushing back so they are overplaying their hand whenever something comes up. Only issue is the complete ignorance of the other team… Maroon boarding McCabe. Stamkos cross checking Rielly near the neck while he’s laying on the ice…. Nothing from the incompetent Parros. Another clown, taken too many punches to his face and head.

 

[Cynical]

It begs the question why there seems to be such a bias? when Did it even start?

Yeah this Parros bias has been happening for years now. He's fining or suspending guys and Leafs are getting called penalties for scrum plays that have been allowed against them for years. It looks like the Leafs can't do anything either because I would think Shanahan has brought this up with the league and it has been even more blatant this team. The Leafs lost a series to the Lightening due to this biased reffing.

The bias is to the point where I stopped watching regular season games and I'm losing interest in these playoff games as well. The things American teams like the Lightening and Bruins get away with while the Leafs get called for every little thing they do it's pretty obvious at this point that the league wants their American teams winning.

 

[Cynical]

NHL is a f***ing JOKE. Tampa I hope can go F themselves. f***ing snowflake fakers




And crosschecking on the neck of Gio right to the ice is a "clean and good" play according to NHL. If a Leaf did that Parros would get a 100 foot bamboo up his ass to give suspensions

Same game. How can the NHL get away with this?

 

[Cynical]

This has nothing to do with the Lightening or acting. Parros knows what's happening. He's just so biased against the Leafs and the NHL is a business set up to make money. The Leafs being a Canadian team and being the team who pounded his head in is now hurting their business. It's crazy that a team this powerful can't do anything about it.

 

[Leafblooded]

Absolutely pathetic. I can't wait to taste the tampa pirate tears when we finally dispatch them into retirement.

Keefe and Dubas need to speak up and don't back down. Stand up for our team and tell the league to go f*** themselves. Turn this into a media battle, rile up our boys and keep pushing back harder and harder.

 

[budzz]

As much as I want to smash their teeth in, that is not our game. We are at our best playing fast and using our skill. We can't let these knuckle draggers suck us into their game. That's exactly what they want, and they have more big guys than we do, and their culture is dirty cheap shots, especially after the whistle. Force them to play our game, fast and skilled, and we win. Being tough is great, and protecting our own - always. But we can't suddenly be a scrapping team, it's not in our DNA.

 

[Maple Leaf]

dumb play
almost cost us the game

 

[HolyCrap]

I never wanna see a player injured but I wanna see Stamkos crushed with a clean hit. Not injured just crushed. Take him off his game mentally. Tampa are a buncha dirty diving divas.

 

[TakeTheBody]

This is good, it helps our street cred. I'm old, is street cred still a thing?

 

[Gabriel426]

Nothing on Maroon, Kuch or Stamkos. And they all had done much worse

 

[HolyCrap]

Yup. At this point it’s laughable. I hate Bettman and Parros.

You think Keefe and Dubas care? If they did and if there is such a bias against the Leafs, they would have said something by now. MLSE don’t care, they just continue to financially support half the useless NHL franchises, get used to it

 

[Mad hatter]

The leafs are owned by the companies that own tsn and sportsnet. If you own the media then use the media to embarrass the league.
This series has given them lots of video evidence to support the Leafs getting screwed by the refs, imho

Apparently this has been going on for years. So if they haven’t done it yet, they never will. They simply do not care

 

[TMLeafer]

Go back to game 2 and the crosscheck maroon gives to Giordano on the neck right before the Holl Perry fight.

Think MLSE is the only group in the World where they don’t use their media influences-under the same companies that owns TSN and Sportsnet- to push their agendas or even the truth.
Also, considering Leafs not only sell outs their home games but also away games even in places like Arizona. All MLSE needs to do is throw the idea that they might start their own Hockey League with a few other teams and Bettman and the NHL would start making proper calls and fines.

 

[authentic]

Same game. How can the NHL get away with this?

Slash the stick out of his hand, shoved him in the face, and crosschecked the back of his neck. That's 3 penalties and a fine right there if it was Toronto...
