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

[Burnie97]

I probably won't say much until it's into the game a bit.

Just going to say Go Leafs Go and...

I hope they actually give a f*** tonight

 

[egd27]

I felt a tinge of optimism, who do I call?

I'm sure you're past self can help you there

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.

They didn’t call it and it’s not reviewable so it didn’t matter.

 

[Leafs87]

Quite a few still kicking!

 

[Nineteen67]

Covering the puck isn't a hockey play? WTAF?

There wasnt a delayed penalty.

 

[rumman]

What are the betting odds on the Leafs winning this?

 

[crump]

For luck

 

[Nineteen67]

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!"

There is no penalty review other than a high sticking major that can be reduced to two or four minute penalty.

What are the betting odds on the Leafs winning this?

For the game tonight or the series??

 

[HockeyVirus]

Matthews!!!!!

Hell yeah what a start 1-0 already!!

 

[rumman]

For the game tonight or the series??

Well lets deal with game 6

 

[8EJS9]

Well lets deal with game 6

+185-+190 tonight. +525 to win the series.

 

[Nineteen67]

Matthews!!!!!

Hell yeah what a start 1-0 already!!

Hold it there and score again in the second to go up 2-0. Don’t get the dreaded early 3-0 lead.

 

[8EJS9]

Well lets deal with game 6

If you want to compare it to the other 3-2 series. Winnipeg is +310 to win the series and +130 to win tomorrow. So basically, they think Toronto has no shot.

 

[Nineteen67]

Does Matthews have a similar labrum injury as Tkachuk?

 

[Nineteen67]

If you want to compare it to the other 3-2 series. Winnipeg is +310 to win the series and +130 to win tomorrow. So basically, they think Toronto has no shot.

The bookies know all the injuries on every team.

 

[Leafs87]

Matthews!!!!!

Hell yeah what a start 1-0 already!!

Did you get advanced screening?

 

[Leafs98]

Ah screw off 8 pm edt start. I just git situated.

 

[GlitchMarner]

My boss asked me if I thought the Leafs were going to win tonight and I said I honestly thought they were going to lose but that they do have a tendency to win when many are counting them out.

I feel they're either going to lose tonight or win and get people's hopes up and then lose Game Seven. Seeing your team eliminated always sucks, and I personally don't want to deal with the frustration and agony of defeat tonight. Just not in the mood for it. I'd rather have them force a seventh game, even if they end up losing it.

Go Leafs Go...

 

[7even]

I'm not worried. Winning game six is the first step to losing game seven.

 

[Cleetus]

If you want to compare it to the other 3-2 series. Winnipeg is +310 to win the series and +130 to win tomorrow. So basically, they think Toronto has no shot.

if you watched the last few games you would see why the odds are like that, come on now!

 

[Clark4Ever]

Berube has lost his marbles

Give him a break. It's his first playoffs at the helm.

 

[8EJS9]

if you watched the last few games you would see why the odds are like that, come on now!

Just pointing out what Vegas thinks. I think the Leafs win tonight.

 

[Aashir]
