Post-Game Talk: Leafs cakewalk to Win -> Habs suckage hits new levels

[ToneDog]

He didn't gain possession of the puck.

He kicked it. Same as if he passed it to Matty with his stick.

 

[ToneDog]

Call it whatever you want. Fact is it wasn't possession. They wouldn't count that as possession for offside or for calling a penalty, so why are they randomly counting it as possession to deny one of the best players in the game an earned point for a goal that was directly set up by the individual? McDavid gets that point, without a thought, especially if he's approaching a milestone.

It was possession in the mind of the scorekeeper. Pretty sure they would have blown the play dead if it was a delayed penalty. Either way, Marner probably does not care. He's got 3 games to get two points. Let him earn them with passes like the one he dished to Tavares for the easy goal.

No it isn't the same lol he never had possession of the puck.

 

[egd27]

It didn't bounce off his leg. He clearly kicked it and it went to Matthews.

But that doesn't fit the "everybody screws us over" theme

 

[ToneDog]

Possession of the Puck: The last player to touch the puck, other than the goalkeeper, shall be considered the player in possession. The player deemed in possession of the puck may be checked legally, provided the check is rendered immediately following his loss of possession.

Another NHL rule that is open to interpretation.

Damien Cox continues to prove what a moron he is.





The vast majority of fans across the NHL agree that Jett getting into the game was just a cool story, which should speak to how harmless a move it was given how polarizing the Leafs are.

As far as playing our stars on the PP, Matheson on the Canadiens wasn’t offended at all.

Replace X in Cox with a Calvin Klein logo and that is exactly what I think of this tweet

Did he get an assist for the header a few games ago? I'm curious now.

Don't think they scored on the play but 100% he would have if they did.

But that doesn't fit the "everybody screws us over" theme

Come on, then how do you explain McDavid with 150+ points ?? Surely he can't be 50+ points better than any overpaid Leaf without help.

LOL some people are getting really salty

 

[kb]

Montreal players and fans whining about putting in Alexander for a minute as a slap in the face, but the seven goals and four crossbars they gave up last night wasn’t?? lol

 

[Gallagbi]

LOL some people are getting really salty

When did Matthews play D?

 

[Dekes For Days]

It was possession in the mind of the scorekeeper.

It wasn't possession by any definition. The scorekeeper was wrong.

 

[MCR74]

LOL some people are getting really salty

All this whining about "respect", yet when it's another team doing it to the Leafs, we don't hear many complaints.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

LOL some people are getting really salty

Yea basically what suits the narrative.

HEY DONT TRY SO HARD!

HEY DONT LET IT BE SO EASY THOUGH!?

Matheson was pretty level headed tbh and I don't think what wideman said represents them.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Did someone drop Chris Wideman on his f***ing head?

 

[ToneDog]

I think you have possession confused with control. If it bounced off any part of his body to Matthews, Marner gets the assist. Hab player clearly tried and kicked the puck. Possession, no assist.

 

[Metroid]

All these people calling the leafs soft..... And then this happens.... It makes my brain hurt how there's no rhyme or reason for anything when it comes to/against the leafs...

 

[Dekes For Days]

No confusion here. It wasn't possession. The scorekeeper was wrong.

 

[Gallagbi]

No confusion here. It wasn't possession. The scorekeeper was wrong.

The D played the puck, albeit poorly, so it shouldn't be an assist. Its not a block or deflection, its a purposeful play on the puck which negates Marner's assist.


With that said, the NHL is usually a little more lenient than their actual rulebook.

There's a Chris Weidman in the UFC who's been dropped on his head many times if that makes you feel any better.

They give out those cheap assists a la continuity all the time. Too bad this wasn’t credited because Marner’s pass was quite the artistic lob.

Cox commenting on bad karma and how the Leafs are hated. How cute...

It is so amazing how worked up people get about everything the Leafs do. Like 31 out of the 32 other teams don't do the same thing the Leafs did?

It's really not hard to see the origins of the consistently terrible officiating the Leafs get in their games. I swear the refs feel they have some obligation to these thin skinned haters like Cox to make sure the Leafs get no calls.
