GDT: Stanley Cup Playoffs | Round 1: Game 3 - Leafs @ Sens; Apr 24 7:00 p.m. EST

[Cleetus]

NHL wants this series to go the distance, easily tell by the reffing

 

[Torontonian]

Refs want to decide the game tonight, you get a cross checking pen, while getting crossed check is interesting..

 

[Aashir]

Stolarz kept us in it

Nylander decided to give up on a breakaway and the rest hasn’t been anything of note

Need to be way better in the 2nd

 

[sxvnert]

Even first period.

 

[kevsh]

All things considered, I'll take the no score.

Domi's line was easily the best and Toronto seemed to get better as the period went on.

Also noticed the Sens switched to an aggressive PK, something they're not used to. We'll see if it works for them if the Leafs get any more PPs tonight.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Oh no the big bad Leafs are bullying try hard loser Grieg, let's call a penalty. What a joke.

 

[Sypher04]

Stupid selfish penalty by Knies to end that period.

Don't need to take away a PP

He did nothing warranting a penalty by the standard shown even within that one shift

 

[Gallagbi]

I get why Knies is frustrated, but there's a better response there than the retaliation

 

[fahad203]

Last 5 mins was good for us

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Sens gave everything those first 10 minutes and still not scarying us...not afraid at all

 

[Mr_Fun]

I feel on previous years we're likely down a goal or two in the first 10 minutes but now we have a crew that can weather the storm better.

 

[Burnie97]

Chabot with 7 cross-checks and we're getting a penalty?

Green right now....

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Guarantee they end up with double/triple the power plays we get. Lose and then still complain.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

My Dude,

Go Leafs Go!

 

[Leafsfan74]

This is why NHL playoffs remains garbage. That non-call against Chabot while calling the exact same penalty against Knies is Bush League.

If the refs are afraid of the crowd and unwilling to call a penalty than find another job, it insults everyones intelligence to watch this. That series a few years ago against Boston was the worst, I don't want to experience that racket again

 

[therealkoho]

How the hell is that only a penalty on Kneis when Chabot crosschecked him AND matthews

It's a good question

What is The NHL? Alex

 

[Sypher04]

Really hasn't been much to like from the team these last 3 periods, not gonna lie.

Not sure how you figure this.
We were better in the third, OT and this one was even.

 

[tuckerintensity]

He did nothing warranting a penalty by the standard shown even within that one shift

How is he the one who got a penalty there?

 

[93gilmour93]

O-0 after the first period works fine. There was no big outburst by Ottawa on there home ice. Advantage road team.....

 

[banks]

That's the first period in the series so far that didn't feel like playoff hockey.

 

[7even]

I miss the days when Matthews would shoot the puck.. always looking for the pass now

I saw he's lost 10mph on his mid range shot velocity this year vs last. I don't think he can shoot the puck.

 

[Dave92]

Matthews is just a loser. Half way through game 3 with 1 primary point. The guy is barely a first line player come playoff time.

If the 23 million from him and Marner was spent on almost anything else we'd be an actual cup threat.

Has nothing to do with an injury this has been his MO the entire time.

 

[tuckerintensity]

I don't disagree with Friedman, but then how do you not take Chabot?

Nothing will compare to the series against TBL where Hedman flopped on a phantom high stick from Kerfoot so they could get a 5 on 3 and win the series

 

[Burnie97]

Sens fans giving a standing ovation for their team not being down

Pretty telling.

Not a great period for Leafs but they fought back at the end and got it going.

The longer it goes... to me... Ottawa is getting shaky.
