OFFICIALLY ROBBED. Literally and figuratively. OMG?

[LegChairGM]

Just seen a YouTube video and there's a zoomed in video AND picture of Gudas holding onto the stick of Jarnkrok during the winning goal. It doesn't just look like it he's holding it for 4-5 seconds.

WHAT IS HAPPENING????

How did the ref miss this???

[Lightsol]

Same way the ref missed both Tampa goals in game 7 last year being caused by Killorn holding somebody off to the side to allow a 2 on 1.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

That’s why you don’t go down 0-3 in a series and put yourself in a position where a missed call can knock you out.

 

[pcruz]

They didn't miss it.

They chose not to care.

The officials pick and choose when they want to enforce the rules.

Game 4 had Brodie go to the box for a penalty called on "holding the stick", so we know the officials know it's a penalty.

The officials also chose to ignore a blatant hit to the head at the end of the 3rd period, because why not.

It's over.

Don't watch any more hockey this year and don't spend any money on NHL shit going forward.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Other teams can cheat, the Leafs can’t. It’s that simple.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

It's OT you have to murder someone to get a call... or flip a puck up and out.

Watch SDPN podcast from Saturday titled "Change". Steve Dangle explained it all quite well about playoff hockey. Wery interesting podcast.

WARMINGTON: The puck was not the only thing that crossed the line on the Maple Leafs' stolen goal of 2023

Rielly's no goal

 

[horner]

How it was explained that Riely pushed his pad in with his stick so that us when the play stopped.
As one poster said don't sleep walk throghvthe firstv3 games.

 

[nsleaf]

Missed calls happen. Believing the the Leafs are specifically targeted is rediculous.

 

[Legion34]

This was clearly a missed call.
The goal should not have counted.

But regardless…. It’s very tough to pretzel your mind into thinking that the leafs not only would have won that game but 2 more….

Getting to 6 or 7 and losing just muddies the water for what needs to be done

 

[justashadowof]

I'm okay sticking with the narrative that calls are missed all of the time as long as it's acknowledged that this infraction facilitated a goal just like Holl's accidental-on-purpose pick facilitated that disallowed Tavares goal in last season's playoffs. Gudas holding Jarnkrok's stick is the only way Couzens can get off a clean shot on that play. Otherwise Jarnkrok sweeps his stick across and knocks the puck away or forces Couzens to change his path into traffic where there would have been no open shot possible.

 

[WillyC]

It’s like boxing… never let the fight go to the judges.

This happened days ago. Let it go, it’s over.

Since 1993 this has been getting worse. A cup winner in Colorado, Florida, Vegas, Carolina, Dallas, is most important. A cup winner in Montreal, Vancouver Edmonton or TO is bad business for Americans.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

One thing I haven't seen other people mention is not only did Gudas hold Jamkrok's stick, he then pushed him back with it preventing him from being able to block the shot.

 

[Niagara Bill]

This happened days ago. Let it go, it’s over.

Why?
This is Bettman wanting a less violent, no fighting, more skilled league, then advocates for more violent game in playoffs. Time this frigging league was called out.

 

[justashadowof]

This victimization narrative stuff barely had legs 30 years ago. You'd talk about the incident the day after the game then move on with your life. At the time of the infamous non-call on Gretzky's blood drawing high stick it seemed to disappear in a day. I barely remembered it until some time in the 2000's when someone or another at a site like this would bring it up.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

OMG?

 

[justashadowof]

It's kind of condescending telling other fans to get over it. How about you get over others experiencing this loss in their own way. You can easily just not read this thread.

 

[Niagara Bill]

One thing I haven't seen other people mention is not only did Gudas hold Jamkrok's stick, he then pushed him back with it preventing him from being able to block the shot.

And then a??hole stood screaming at Woll after the puck went in the net, and not ONE Leaf thought of breaking a stick over his head. They just skated away.
I know it was over, but that is how they reacted for the season and playoffs. Bums like Gudas broke their will to win. The Leafs are unwilling to give their all.
Bettman changes the rules, Leafs are done.

 

[Nineteen67]

Did you not watch the game, OP?

 

[kevsh]

Bettman has said repeatedly a priority is the integrity of the game. When fans justifiably feel like they got robbed, then the integrity is questioned.

And it seems this playoffs there were quite a few instances of really bad calls. Just ask Oilers fans after the "instigator vs the slash" fiasco.

 

[Trapper]

That’s why you don’t go down 0-3 in a series and put yourself in a position where a missed call can knock you out.

Well said. Stop putting yourself in a position where a bad/missed call kills you.
This call didn’t put us down 3-1 in a series, this call call didn’t score 1 goal in 5 games (33 million in salary), this call didn’t lose the game. We still tied it and lost in OT.

 

[Niagara Bill]

Missed calls happen. Believing the the Leafs are specifically targeted is rediculous.

1993, not one Canadian team has won...Bettman became President, Vegas can get close to win, Seattle maybe. Chicago tanks and wins draft. American money at its best.
This is not a prediction, this is history.
