Leafs @ Capitals - Feb. 28th, 7:30pm - SN, Fan 590

[disco]

Marner playing the best hockey of his career.

It really is a shame we didn't get to see him with Team Canada this year. He's the kind of player Canada hasn't had in a while and you almost wonder where he would have fit in. A top line with McDavid? MacKinnon? Feeding Stamkos?

It would have been a hell of a tournament.

Agreed. It woulda been a helluva tourney.

 

[Joe S.]

How the fk was that not interference in the corner?

Seriously the capitals player was lying down in top of the leafs player and the puck was nowhere near them.

 

[ZBBM]

Powerplay goal on a phantom call there.

Not to mention that Kerfoot got fouled on the PK and no call.

 

[L K]

Leafs have a league worst -12 powerplay differential this month

Yes, the Toronto Maple Leafs who perpetually are accused of being a soft/passive team are the gooniest team in February.

 

[L K]

Oh look the Washington player coming on the ice while his teammate was still getting off the ice played the puck.   

Wait, it wasn't the Leafs? I guess too many men isn't a penalty then.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

lol ok

 

[L K]

And then Bunting gets called for "taking down" Eller.

 

[Bender]

Dude went down pretty easy there.

 

[Deebo]

Eller should be fined 3 weeks from now.

 

[ZBBM]

The ref is going to call that every time.  Bunting had has stick completely across Eller and down low.

 

[azzurri63]

That's why I'm losing interest watching this shi*. How the f do you trip a guy with one hand on your stick and not even pulling him down?

 

[Britishbulldog]

This officiating is hard to watch being so AGAINST the Leafs.  Wow!  This should be the best officials in the world.  Too bad there is no accountability

 

[ZBBM]

Our PP is now officially cooled off.  I don't see the movement after they get set up.  Same old problem when they aren't clicking.

I disagree he had 1 hand on his stick. C'mon ZBBM takes a lot more for a guy to go down. Eller sold it.

I'll say it looks bad, but I really don't think Bunting had any role in him going down:

I mean in fairness, when you don't get to use it for a long stretch it gets out of habit.  The NHL has come down and cooled it off by not giving them powerplays.

Sure he did, but the look is such that ref will call it.

The ref was right there and had a great look. Piss poor officiating but par for the course. Said it numerous times since they went to the 2 ref system the officiating has gotten worse.

 

[azzurri63]

Lucky it wasn't tied up. Liljegren has to be smarter on that play.

 

[azzurri63]

Holy f I'm getting sick of watching this bantam goaltending. Brutal not winning shi* with this crap.
