Leafs @ Blue Jackets - Mar. 22nd, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

[Al14]

Polak just lost us the game!

 

[barney_rebel]

Torts is mad I think

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I think Torts is angry.

 

[Arn]

It was a bad hit by Polak. BUT.

There's been several similar let go by both sides all night. So how does it all of a sudden become 5+game

 

[Al14]

Torts is mad I think

Why? Polak got the maximum!

 

[McGarnagle]

What more did Tortorella want out of that? And surely that qualified as a bench minor. I'm surprised the ref took it.

I imagine he was still upset about some other hits that weren't called earlier. You let those go and it often leads to just bigger and dumber hits.

 

[ZBBM]

That was both a great PK and an awful PP.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

What on earth is going on here?

 

[Al14]

Wow, was expecting 2 CBJ goals on their 5 minute PP.

What a kill!

 

[ZBBM]

Fehr has been great.

 

[bustaheims]

What on earth is going on here?

You know, just your standard 7 minute penalty . . .

 

[AvroArrow]

Since when do you need a whistle to bring your man back on after a penalty?  What the hell just happened?

Here's some explanation:

FriedgeHNIC: TOR did not have anyone in the penalty box, still only four men on...wow

FriedgeHNIC: TOR had to kill an extra 1:54. You can go without putting someone in the box for Polak, but if you get caught...you are stuck

Leafs didn't put anyone in the penalty box, and, because of that, couldn't put a 5th guy out.

 

[Arn]

What on earth is going on here?

Someone can't come out of the box till play stops after a 5 minute major?

 

[Bender]

Why did the Leafs forego putting someone in the box?

That's weird... Seems like a kind of stupid move by Babcock...

I'm curious to see which Leafs were on the ice at the time of the penalty. I'm guessing they were all PK types if Babcock decided not to send someone to the box. It's that or he just plain forgot.

 

[herman]

I thought I was going crazy. That explains it.

Thanks for that, interesting!
