Bah. Only positive from this game was Malkin's stats padding. Another 2 on the board, as he climbs the ladder of the scoring leaders.
 
I'm so angry about tonight, ugh, I went off after the buzzer, FUCK. Things that made me angry:

1) The Leafs' inability to play disciplined hockey. If you have the worst penalty killing out of all teams for the past couple of years, you don't take penalties. That's simple! Stop taking penalties and you'll stop having to try to kill penalties!

2) The missed crosschecking call on Kessel and the subsequent 5th Sabre goal by Vanek. How is that not a textbook crosscheck?

3) Gaustad smothering the puck with his body at the end with no whistle? COME ON!

I need to calm down.
 
I don't say this often when we lose, but we got fucked by the officiating.

It's funny because most, if not all of the penalties the Leafs took seemed fair, but the Sabres could have easily had 2 or 3 minor penalties in the third alone which weren't called. It almost felt like the refs agreed beforehand not to call anything in the third.

Oh well. At least it was an entertaining game.
 
What a shitshow of a game. God dammit Leafs. They made it interesting at the end but so what. They still killed themselves with dumb penalties and incompetent penalty killing.

And god I'm just boiling with anger thinking about the crosscheck on Kessel and Gaustad lying down on the puck.
 
Leafs penalties were well deserved and their PK is complete garbage but the refs sure did miss a few on the Sabres.

The McArthur penalty in the second was a dive, and Phaneuf did not deserve a game misconduct. Not to say the Leafs didn't phone in one of the worst periods I've ever seen in the second, but they weren't helped by the Refs.

And that blown cross check call...Ugh.

At least other people are starting to notice

I've watched 242 games this season start to finish. TOR/BUF was worst officiated
 
Of the last 15 goals that the Leafs have given up, 10 have been on the PP.

The Sedins are licking their chops tonight as they cuddle up and watch "Brokeback Mountain" before tomorrow night's game.
 
Any word on Sid. Did he skate with the team?

No. On the injury front, everyone except Sid and Letang should be returning soon. We'll have to see what Paul Martin's injury ends up being, from the replay it's clearly something with his leg.

Letang has a concussion, who knows when he'll be back. Crosby's injury is officially listed as "Undisclosed". That doesn't sound good to me.

More lame insults being thrown against the Sedins. Why don't you just man up and call them faggots like you want to?

Bolland is a total piece of shit and I think this whole practice of calling the Sedins "sisters" is ridiculous.
 
Thanks T-Town for another free win.

Another free win? Didn't the Leafs win three straight against Buffalo to finish off the season series last year? In the end it was a 5-4 decision - you guys deserved the win but you did not dominate the Leafs.

To think that the Pens' injury news may actually get worse is just comical at this point. This shit has been going on for almost A YEAR now. A full calendar year. Fuck. We've done our penance. Give us our health.

Oh relax. Just having fun when you guys outnumber us in our own barn. We love your money.

I don't know why you keep ripping on the sisters about the PP. It takes elite talent to put up almost half their points when the other team has less players on the ice.

:lol
 
I don't know if I even want to watch the game tomorrow. God forbid the Canucks have even one good shift tomorrow night. The commentary from Hughson and Healy is going to be insufferable.
 
Leafs fan after the loss: "Must have been the officiating".

Canucks fan after a game where they have 7 penalties called on them, mainly grey area calls that wouldn't normally be called (small 2 second holds, picks, etc): "We should have played better in the first period"

As a Canucks or Habs fan, you just gotta get used to bad officiating / more calls against you. Whatever the reason for it (won't get into that debate), just mentioning simple fact we have more calls against us. Here's some stats for you:

Vancouver has been either in the top 5-10 of times shorthanded every year since lockout (I didn't look before). These are completely different styles from 2005 to us currently. We don't play after the whistles anymore and it hasn't improved.

Montreal has been either top or top 3 of times shorthanded the last 3 years.

Winnipeg is currently 2nd in times shorthanded. They were 16th last year when they were Atlanta. This is the same team as last year.

Vancouver has been either in the top 5-10 of times shorthanded every year since lockout (I didn't look before). These are completely different styles from 2005 to us currently. We don't play between the whistles anymore and it hasn't improved.

Montreal has been either top or top 3 of times shorthanded the last 3 years.

Winnipeg is currently 2nd in times shorthanded. They were 16th last year when they were Atlanta. This is the same team as last year.

Canucks complaining about officiating is :lol.

I think most of the Leafs fans complaining about officiating tonight have acknowledged in some form that the team lost because of the poor PK. Tonight was mostly about an extreme disparity in calls rather than unfair calls costing us the game.

That WPG/ATL stat is very interesting though. It might be the result of new coaches and a different system, so I wouldn't be so quick to imply some sort of conspiracy.
 
Murray did an amazing job drafting for Ottawa. Karlsson and Cowen already making my pants explode and Zbad/Rundblad will cause more exploding zippers in the future.
 
Canadian teams should stop hiring bad coaches as 6/7 of the teams in the top 10 in times shorthanded are Canadian.

We just gotta get used to it as it's not going to change
 
Intent.

Post the video of the "identical" hit again. The first time you did my eyes rolled so far in the back of my head I couldn't see it.
Intent! I'm sure if Booth was fine afterwards and chummy with Porter he'd absolve him no differently. The fact is that neither player wanted to injure the other. We know this. They just didn't want to get beat and made a sudden decision to stick out their knee to stop Booth/Foligno. But that didn't help Porter, so why should it help McQuaid.

Why don't you just come out with your theory about how the Bruins are protected by the league instead of drawing this out any longer.
Haven't said that. I don't know why there's been so many favourable calls going the Bruins way. I'm not about to allege organizational conspiracy. Just drawing attention to the hypocrisy and your ever-ridiculous logic in defense of the Bruins.

:lol



Yet, regardless of what that dumb fuck Bolland say's the Hawks as an organization would do anything to have them on their roster, as would any other team in the league, and you my friend would welcome them to your team with open arms, or an open asshole depending on how you like/see it.
It amazes me that some people still look for ways to try and excuse the fact of the Sedins being anything less than god-tier when it come to playing hockey.
 
God damn Hiller. I have him in two pools, one I barely get any goalie wins because ANA sucks (points pool) and in the NeoGAF Fantasy pool, I'm fighting for #1 (I'm #2) and going up against the person in the #1 spot. I was up 9-2 until Hiller sucked and now I'm down to 6-3 when I need as many points to overtake him.
