keefe getting outcoached again. spezza with a good playoffs last year (outscoring auston) and he gets punished.

 

[Eddo22]

5 minutes for a little bump.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

they just set the mark for a boarding penalty if one of our guys gets stapled ill expect the same

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Was a bad hit, but 5 mins is a joke. There were far worse hits in the regular season that were 2 mins or not called at all

 

[rdogg]

That should be a double minor, not a major.

Except it wasn't a high stick. He drilled the guy face first into the boards.

 

[Zero1]

wtf a major??

 

[Eternal Leaf]

On a brighter note, the PK is doing a good job so far.

 

[Remu]

Leafs are too soft for the playoffs
Leafs need grit
5 minute penalty in game 1

 

[shaner82]

Oh come on. That's not a major penalty. Yes it's easily a penalty, but not 5. This is ridiculous.

If I'm Keefe, I would sit Clifford for the first 2 periods. If you can't play smart, you don't get to play at all. Next dumb thing he does he doesn't play again at all

 

[saffronleaf]

crowd actually chanting refs you suck for once thank goodness

 

[The Blueprint]

No f***ing way is that a 5 min major

 

[Morgs]

Liljegren is so f***ing amazing LOL

 

[Leafs87]

A game misconduct is kinda harsh tbh

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

You guys can't be serious. He hit a man in the back without the puck. If that was the other way we'd be calling for his head.

What a f***ing idiot.

But if it did happen the other way, there's zero chance it would have been a major. How's it different from the Nosek hit on Liljegren last game? That was the regular season and the Leafs didn't even get a powerplay

 

[The Legend]

We would NEVER get that f***ing call. f*** OFF

This is also true.

 

[supermann_98]

Zero chance that's a 5 and a game if it's a TB player hitting a leaf like that

 

[Coachcorner]

Marner almost got one from clifford... We finna HIT MORE! And score more!

 

[The Apologist]

Stuck with the horrible ESPN announcers in the states! I’ll hit the mute button!!!!

Better than ours on CBC

 

[DarkKnight]

f*** off, that shit will happen all game. Just like the can openers, the hand taps, the punches. You'll only see it called one way though. Guaranteed. Just keep hammering the shit out of them. If management won't step up and call out the NHL then they should all be fired.

Ya that’s why he’s in the dressing room.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Stuck with the horrible ESPN announcers in the states! I’ll hit the mute button!!!!

Buccigross is amazing WDYM

 

[The Masters]

i havent heard a leaf game this loud since

mats sundin days

 

[al secord]

Cross check. Nothing

 

[TMLeafer]

So they called a hook but not a crosscheck away from the play?

 

[Primary Assist]

Keep moving your feet on the PK boys - draw a minor and that will kill off half the major

 

[Lightsol]

The Leafs are the only team in the league who aren't allowed to play physical hockey in the playoffs. Every other team, especially their opponents, get to do whatever they want

Refs: Hey, let's see how fast we can eject Clifford and Simmonds so that Tampa can goon it up without retribution...
