Can we take a minute to stop and look at how awful the goalie masks are? Seeing Vasi and Campbell side by side, yikes. The daveart monopoly on designs is terrible. I remember back in the day masks had personality. Now it's like 4 variations of the same neon crap

Dave is the Island Boys of mask painting.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

That’s called Charging.

For all the talk of too many penalties that one probably should’ve been called

 

[nturn06]

McDavid got a penalty for that in game 1.

And some Leafs fans were asking for a suspension

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

A LOT of missed opportunities for the Leafs in this period.

 

[zeke]

Shoot the damn puck

 

[Pink Mist]

Chanting MVP after Matthews layer out that scrub Tampa player was a total Chad move. Get up you softie, keep your head up

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I'm not sure he legit got hurt or he was embellishing trying to get a call and then had to keep selling it

lol of course you're not sure

 

[robertocarlos]

Marner is too cute by far. Shoot the puck.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Heck of a period.

TML pressing.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Missed penalty on Matthews and fans cheering while a player is down, very classy

 

[zeke]

I mean, that was a bad hit.

Please

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Keefoot needs to rip that one on net

Classy

 

[BMOK33]

TB probably has not led in a playoff game after 2 and lost since like 2016 or 2015 if I had to guess

 

[nabob]

I think that’s what it was. But it was a blatant hit from behind. Might pay dividends later.

Worst take in the thread. Congrats!

 

[KCC]

Leafs trying to do too much the last few shifts. Over passing.

 

[Chips]

ESPN coverage is so bad


"Shoulder hit, that's playoff hockey at its finest" after literally describing "hit to the numbers, a bit of a jump". Same guy.

 

[David Suzuki]

Matthews should get 5 games for trying to be tough

 

[Strangle]

Because they're playing harder because it's the playoffs, and therefore the borderline calls on slashes and cross-checks and hooks are done with more force, and therefore are called and would be called in the season if done as forcefully as they are now during the playoffs.

Ya this sounds like you’re making stuff up. Trying to fit a narrative.

I’ve never seen a series called like this one before. If what you say is true, we would see a 6x increase in penalties every year, in all series compared to the regular seasom

 

[PaulD]

Bedard or Brady ?

 

[Turin]

Leafs looking like the Flames of the first few games. Cannot finish

 

[kwichang]

Always a first time amiright?

 

[FourRings]

Please

Please what? He jumped into Sergachev from behind and hit him square in the numbers into the boards. I’ve got no horse in this race, but to suggest that was a dive is silly.

Not a penalty. Refs letting those hits go all game. Plus he dived. Magically back out next shift
