Can’t say I disagree with him. If you say the leafs need to play like they have balls yet you can’t even watch the game maybe you (not you specifically) need a cup check as well.

Really though, it's mainly by snapping your head back, faking an injury or bringing an opponent stick into your own face.
The refs are engineers of arrangements. O Dog should know this, but many don't guess he is one of them.
If Toronto loses tomorrow, then I am full of crap, if they win. Well, guess some people will start thinking outside of the obalisk from now on.

That CIrelli goal was just brutal. That was as bad as an unscreened from center ice goal. Any high school goalie stops that. Just unacceptable fundamentals.

You don't "have" to call things that don't happen. In fact, you don't call them at all
And if you do f*** up the first, you call the two obvious elbows in OT that snapped heads back or the hold on Matthews
Highlighting because it's worth reposting. Not sure why @Mess would purposely lie and then ignore this....

This is a strict no watch game for me this year. Not saying our guys will lose but I’d rather avoid all the tension and drama this year.
We win, I’ll be ecstatic. Lose, and I’ll be infuriated.

It's incredible how unenjoyable and stressful hockey can be when you care about the team playing.
If you are going to feel that way anyway, you may as well get value for your feelings and watch the game.
I cannot wait to watch. I have zero confidence, faith or belief... but I am a fan of the team, and I want them to win... so it's a no brainer for me.
My guess is that the refs are from the Ontario area, and are trying to prove that they are not biased see I call penalties on Toronto logic. But in doing so they are unknowingly anti Toronto biased.
The league is anti Toronto biased because they do not want to add any fuel to the already massive Toronto sports media dumpster fire. They know that any little thing will have 100 articles about it the next day or the same day so they continually try and defuse the situation.
Like not even contemplating penalizing Tampa for the phantom high-sticking embellishment because they do not want to draw more attention to it.
All that said it's time for the Maple Leafs to say screw you and win

You would think game 6 was a 8-0 towling the way people are talking about the team and it's chances
I've never called anybody on here a "hater", that's your word friend

It's gonna be an easy win here folks.
The only chance TBay has if something crazy like the refs decide to gift them a 2 minute 2 man advantage to tie it up at the end.
But that won't ever happen so no worries.

Have you watched this series? This is the 2 time cup champions were playing and have matched through 6 games
Bleak is having you're ass handed to you by a superior team or finding a way to lose to a worse one
That isn't us and we're at home game 7, that means something when you're playing this well
I usually do not have conspiracy theories, but damn I bet the NHL wants that Florida Tampa series..... just a thought

Of course it is......watching a game where you already know the outcome isn't even close to watching a game where you don't.
I’m worried about Campbell versus Vasilevsky.
I know we have Vasi’s number this series but this is game 7.

It being game 7 makes that much of a difference in terms of performance? I never got that
Guy is elite has played ok in 6 games and all of a sudden just because it’s game 7 it’s guaranteed he goes lights out, just turns a switch?
Well you know what it’s game 7…maybe matthews scores 4?

I don't think the Leafs factored into the referees minds yesterday at all.
Moreso, I think it was a young inexperienced referee paralyzed by a desire to NOT want to make a call which could potentially end the B2B champs' season.
All depends on how the play.
Games 7 & 5 against the Habs and CBJ were embarrassing losses due to the piss poor efforts. Come out and go toe to toe with Tampa and let the chips fall where they may. But if they come out flat again, then significant changes have to be made.
