GDT: The BwO Presents: Leafs vs Panthers - The Game Before Game 7 - 8pm EDT SN

[Lightsol]

I never thought that it would be overturned, it was going in, but Carlo definitely intended to touch the puck with his broken stick.

It's a bit of semantics, but if he intended to and there's no provision to say that playing the puck with a broken stick wouldn't stop the play, it's a penalty and whistle as soon as he touches it.

Flip side, if they never called it a penalty (I'm unsure if they did), doesn't matter much who touched what after the fact unless it's reviewable. If it is, the play it's dead when he touches I'd say.

I really don't think that's why we're where we're at though, that play is more just interesting rules wise is all.

The entire reason they were reviewing is because Florida argued that Carlo played the puck with a broken stick. It wasn't a goal review, it was a penalty review.

And quite frankly, I've never heard of this "intended to make a hockey play" BS. Does that mean if the puck glances off somebody's stick and the person wasn't skating it doesn't count towards ending the play on a delayed penalty?

Sounds a hell of a lot like the semantic bullshit the NFL came up with after the infamous Calvin Johnson "non-catch" in 2010. "Uh, well, the ref was right because he's required to take at least two steps with the ball in his hand without going out of bounds before it's a catch! What do you mean, it's not in the rulebook? We'll put it in next year, because the refs can't be wrong!"

First few games of both series, leafs would flip pucks into the neutral zone and in deep. Need to get back to the basics if they want success.

Historically speaking the leafs win this game but they might already be planning their off season.

It was a goal review - you can't review a broken stick penalty.

I don’t know why they just don’t put Laughton with Tavares and Nylander instead of Holmberg. At least Laughton has more offensive upside.

 

[ZEBROA]

Holmberg on the second line makes me as angry as last performance. Berube are u playing to win or to not loose?

Every time Ottawa got any sort of sustained pressure in round 1, this is exactly what the Leafs did just to survive and regroup.

They clearly came out in games 1 and 2 determined to have more controlled zone exits and to create offense on the rush.

Some time during the 1st intermission of game 3, the Panthers decided they were just going to take that away, and have controlled the series every since.

Do or die time

Can't say I'm particularly confident in the team after the last couple of games but I'd be happy to be surprised tonight

We went though a lot of pain to get this core and it will suck if we never get to see even one decent run out of them

Sad it's come to this

 

[HarryLime]

the last 2 games, worse than losing was just how uninspired they looked.

 

[Jojalu]

C'MON BOYS!!

By losing games 6 and 7.

You might be right.

Lets fill this thread with positive shit

 

[Rare Jewel]

You might be right.

Leafs will find a way to lose both games.

 

[al secord]

I know that my heart will go on.

The last time the Maple Leafs came back from 3-2 down to win a series was in 2002 against the Sens. Game 5 was a crushing defeat with a late gwg by Alfredsson. Then the team regrouped and won the next 2 games to win the series and move on to the ECF. Of course, that team had a lot more grit and heart than this one. And Ottawa Senators weren't the defending SC champs.

Right after he cheap shotted Darcy

Eastwood Sutherland Savalas Rickles O'Connor great cast and great film.

 

[Jojalu]

Matthews isn't scoring a goal tonight, period, no matter who he's playing with. He's looking towards hitting the golf course tomorrow, and pretty much has been since the playoffs started.

While he probably isn't scoring a goal, it still is ridiculous to believe he doesn't want to win.

Apparently Rielly doesn't want to win either. You can't write this stuff. You can type it though.
