GDT: Tampa Bay vs Toronto saturday night fever like Travolta

[Mad hatter]

Kerfoot hasn’t been good but that was no penalty, hard to blame him there imho

 

[Burnie97]

It's hard to watch when you know how obvious it all is. Give the refs all a stick and make it 8 on 5. It becomes comical just about.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Kerfoot with another Ponikarovsky type penalty

 

[Jojalu]

refs or not but matthews needs to start showing the f*** up again

He had 7 shots the the refs took over the game and the Leafs have been PKing the entire time.

 

[mikeyz]

the refs have nothing to do with it.
The problem is that they have a great pp and the leafs,with Rielly out, don’t.

Okay. Now who calls the penalties???

 

[Altair]

Refs, kerf & the lightning colluding... Matthew's has been mostly ineffective

 

[thewave]

keeping Kerfoot and his 3.5 million cap hit was the worst move Dubas made this offseason.

Ego move. Can't make that trade look like the total joke it was.

 

[Racer88]

The aleafs have had multiple PP tonight and have failed to score and Tampa has scored on theirs

 

[Stephen]

Kerfoot hasn’t been good but that was no penalty, hard to blame him there imho

He’s such a bad player in general when he gets a bad break… no one sympathizes.

 

[Azail]

He had 7 shots the the refs took over the game and the Leafs have been PKing the entire time.

There has been zero flow the whole 3rd because the refs have been incompetent.

 

[Cleetus]

there players are going down far to easy

 

[MSZ]

Well, they have no ones to blame but themselves. If they scored one of those PP opportunities this would still be a tied game.

 

[Tlo1]

Keefes gotta sit Kerfoot the rest of this game if he wants to save it.

 

[Jojalu]

This team is f***ing blowing it

How?

By taking questionable penalties?

 

[sofrustrated]

Just have to take a step back. We can’t win every game. There is an unofficial rule of favouring the home team at least in the US and small market teams. Toronto has been the better team but some times things don’t work out in any single game.

 

[Eddo22]

Just logged on to say the Refs are biased against the Leafs and Justin Hall sucks again.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Well, they have no ones to blame but themselves. If they scored one of those PP opportunities this would still be a tied game.

Refs are still garbage but yeah we needed to score when we had a powerplay

 

[thewave]

There has been zero flow the whole 3rd because the refs have been incompetent.

I don't look at it like that anymore. Really am quite convinced they are getting a desired result and don't care how much flak I take for saying that sort of thing.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Same story as the playoffs last year; leafs the better team but Tampa bay squeak out the win by being shit heels. Extremely unlikeable team.

 

[Pebble live]

The officiating has been bad but its been bad both ways. This is another game with Tampa where they have imposed their will on the game, including getting calls from the officials. The game within the game and the team that's won a few cups by playing that kind of game are proving once again they are very good at it.

 

[kb]

Even if the Leafs score on their PP's, they just call more Penalties against the Leafs.

Read Brian Touhy. Every sport outcome is fixed.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

You can’t blame reffing, every team says the reffing sucks

Leafs have not played with any purpose since the start of the 2nd

High danger chances were 6-2 for the Leafs at 5v5 in the 2nd. It seems like you just want to be quirky and different by pretending to not notice the horrendous reffing

 

[ER89]

He had 7 shots the the refs took over the game and the Leafs have been PKing the entire time.

he hasnt driven shit 5v5 beyoond that dime

 

[theTTC]

Refs sure liked those 2nd intermission betting odds

And who are the major advertising clients? Betting houses? So we cannot be naive, trust your own eyes. Connect the dots, it's right in front of us. These penalty calls and non-calls are not because of referees incompetence.

Simmonds is just done. Good lord retire with some dignity please
