Slash to the legs, stick to the face, punch from Strome then Marcinin responds.  Yep sounds like offsetting minors to me.

In Leafsworld, yes, yes, it is.

I need to see that replay again because I don't recall Marincin making any slash. Are they sure it wasn't embellishment?

Edit: Marincin does pitchfork Strome between the legs before the hack

Marincin took the slash.

You know Matthews and Marner and Kapanen have all had minor ice time cuts recently too, right? Who's circling the media circuit though? That's my contention.

Sure..and 99% of that is click bait that I ignore.

Kapenen suffered the same demotion, and rightfully so. He lacks the same top end skill set, though, and is probably miscast for the role of "Hyman clone on his off wing" which is what he was being asked to do. I also haven't watched him and though "he's floating" all that often, although he's guilty of that from time to tome. He'd be far better as the "Willy clone on the 3rd line" which is why he looked better the last couple games. That's where I hope he stays if we ever have a healthy line-up. He looks like he's trying to "think" the game too much and isn't quite sure what he's supposed to be doing at times...having a tough time adapting to the new system (like Muz and -- strangely -- Dermott).

I hadn't noticed Matthews' ice time being reduced recently other than the one game in Edmonton where he was loafing off. Seems like he got the message and Keefe was satisfied enough to give him significant minutes since then (the Detroit game was the back end of a back-to-back where the Leafs had the game in hand).

Marner has been playing crazy minutes so I'm not quite sure where you think his time has been cut. He hasn't had a single game in December under 20 minutes, and has logged close to 25 in both of the last two games.
 
Marincin definitely got fewer shots in than Strome, but offsetting penalties sure why not.

At least the Leafs have the Rangers right where they want them going into the third. Hope the Matthews line has something left in the tank, they've played a lot the last 2 nights.
 
If there were offsetting minors for slashing why wasn't the play blown dead until after they started pushing and shoving?
 
So Timashov gets nailed from behind, no call. Then New York's goon hounds him for like 10 seconds afterward as if Timashov was the one who threw the hit, again no call.
