GDT: Leafs vs Blues Saturday night showdown

[garce]

Seems like Krug has forgotten that Chara is no longer covering his punkiness

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Who's officiating? Does anyone know?

 

[Aashir]

Now it begins

does this team turtle for the third time in 4 games, or do they adjust and continue to play

 

[TML1967]

The Refs are a joke.

I just once want a reporter to clip a penalty like that, and HOUND the NHL till they get an answer.
I dont care if its one we benefit from or helps us TBH.

Just get the NHL to say how the hell a guy getting mugged is a penalty.

You see it all the time in the NFL and NBA, where reporters push the league to give an answer. They are also the leagues where the most amount of money is spent in North America, which I think helps keep the rules enforced.

 

[Macallan18]

Matthews slumping hard

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

I know the Blues are missing a bunch of key players, but they've made some egregious errors in their own zone

We'll take it

 

[leafsfan5]

Matthews slumping hard

One period without a goal is simply ridiculous. Not worth his contract

 

[Azazel]

Who's officiating? Does anyone know?

Justin St. Pierre
Dean Morton

Both absolute trash. Unprofessional garbage.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

so clifford should be able to go cross check krug over and lay on top of him while throwing in the odd crossface smash and it should be 4 on 4

 

[IrishInOntario]

Love the start to the game tonight. Best sense of urgency I've seen them play with in a while. Structure through the neutral zone looks pretty good too. A lot of guys rotating back and a lot of guys back checking.

Now get up about 5-1 and send Simmonds out to leave Krug in a heap of pain and bodily fluids. Don't even give him a chance to defend himself. Take the misconduct and leave the Blues feeling awful about themselves.

 

[MSZ]

Both absolute trash. Unprofessional garbage.

STL are 10-1 in their last 11 games when Morton worked in those games.

 

[garce]

That’s why you never lay on the ice. If Mikkola wants to stand over a guy and trash talk give him a nice hack next time while no one’s looking and at the worst earn your PIM.

I think Bunting was getting a penalty there no matter what, Mikkola and Krug both could have been called if they’re handing out cheapies.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Binnington high glove

 

[DarkKnight]

What bet did Friedman lose?

 

[PromisedLand]

So Krug is still a little bitch the way he was with bruins. I thought it was all bruins bitch attitude but looks like krug himself is one

 

[Menzinger]

The Bunting penalty is a great miniature case study on everything wrong with league officiating. They gave him a penalty not because he actually violated any rule, rather they didn't wanted to give the Leafs a PP.

Game management 101

 

[Legion34]

Clifford has to run nikkola. Earn your keep

 

[Griffin76]

What bet did Friedman lose?

With God I'm guessing by the look of that ugly mug.

Hopefully Muzzin gets Krug later. Seem to recall he’s blasted our friend Torey once or twice vs Boston.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

He brings nothing else to the table, so he better.

Makes me pretty sure we're likely going to see no PPs tonight if Bunting getting mugged didn't do it, in the first period no less. If we ever are on the man-advantage tonight I'll bet it'll be a reduced one with a call against the Blues while they're already on the PP.

Don't think you lose that once you've been a Bruin.

 

[Aashir]

Agreed. He’s not here to put some points up, he’s here as a depth Grinder vet. He’s gotta step in here and let them know that hitting our guys like that ain’t ok.

 

[93gilmour93]

He’s looks like he’s dressed up to have dinner at Satan’s house lol

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I honestly think Refs look at who is drawing the most penalties in the league and at a certain point in the year just stop calling penalties that happen on them like they were disrespecting them or something for having penalties drawn.
