Game 27: Toronto Maple Leafs @ New York Rangers W4-2

F88K me how do u call that crap when a team is already down. Holy.

 

[bustaheims]

Not sure what Bozak did there to deserve a penalty. I mean, that play has happen dozens of times tonight without a call.

 

[bustaheims]

Nice goal by the Rags, though. Shouldn't have been up 2 men, but, it is what it is.

 

[Erndog]

I never, ever complain about officiating but that was a terrible call.

You clearly can't touch someones stick

 

[Fanatic]

Hopefully soon Kessel scores some more so they can stop showing all of his goals in one promotional commercial.

Just another assist. Sorry. You must be reaalllyyy disappointed.

Winning trumps any of Phil's stats.

 

[Strangelove]

Crappy call aside, it'd be nice if we could kill a 2-man advantage sometime.  We literally can't kill them.

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

that was one of the worst calls i've seen in a while...what can you do

I know it's not something that's readily apparent when you see the Leafs up two men but killing that off is really hard.

 

[Fanatic]

I hate watching games in MSG and on Leafs TV it is even worse.

Okay penalty killed.

We are still up 3-2. Go Leafs Go!!

 

[Hank Yarbo]

Typical Leafs - let a team back into a game that they don't deserve. 

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Seriously, you don't call that cheap hook to put a team down 5 on 3.

Not for long, we're losing this one FFS.

 

[ZBBM]

I'm calling out Steckel on that one.  Taking a penalty right after the other team scores is brutal.

 

[Kin]

You don't need to hook someone to the ice for it to be a penalty. Was it the strongest hooking call? No. But Bozak shouldn't have his stick up like that. That's on him.

oh yeah...that's what the leafs did...damn that bozak ..trying to lift someone else's stick! ...i mean ..the nerve..

The lack of consistency by the officials in this league is really just laughable.

Especially when a team can throw out a guy like Brad Richards to facilitate the PP.  It's not like they blew coverage leading to the goal...it was a good pass that capitalized on the 2-man advantage.  The refs can be thanked for making this a close game...and the refs alone.  Well, Steckel's play was a penalty but the Bozak thing was garbage.  I don't even think he actuall touched his gloves, his stick checked him near the gloves but not on them.

Especially when you haven't called that hook when it happens at ES.

Yep, can't fault the refs for a call that's been made for years now and every player knows too well.

PS - I don't care if someone else just posted, post it! Damn stupid forum software

Hard, yes, but I figured I'd see it happen sometime this year.  One can hope.
On another note, for a guy who never plays, Armstrong gets a lot of great press.
