Ginette Reno posted:I don't know what this dude is even complaining about anyways. They're not going to call someone getting shoved down in an after whistle scrum a penalty. If a punch was thrown, maybe different story. But a shove? Gimme a break lol it didn't get called because the man falls down when anyone touches him, even a ref this guy thinks there's a conspiracy when it's just a boy crying wolf situation

No ref gives a poo poo about a little shove in a scrum, especially in the playoffs. They'll be looking for punches or stick work before they make a call in a scrum.

On the one hand the refs have missed more genuine penalties by Leafs against Bruins than I'm used to. On the other, Marchand could easily have a diving and/or ref pushing penalty every game, so it would even out if the Leafs' PP weren't so incredibly bad. Seriously, imagine how different the narrative would be if Keefe had started Woll in game 1 and developed some kind of powerplay strategy.

On the other, Marchand could easily have a diving and/or ref pushing penalty every game, so it would even out if the Leafs' PP weren't so incredibly bad. Considering how past series have gone with respect to calls and physical bullshit I don’t mind the shoe being on the other foot and seeing a fanbase that has typically espoused an “it’s the playoffs, suck it up” mindset being the ones crying about conspiracies and refs. But I also know that game 7s are always shitshows and the Bruins have a lot more experience/effectiveness with that style of hockey, so the script could very easily flip on Saturday. My  theory about reffing is also that as a series goes on their game management is influenced by how effective the teams have been. Like the Bruins going at 50% early in the series makes the refs less inclined to give them borderline opportunities now because they know it’s probably a goal, similarly the Leafs being garbage at it makes a call on the Bruins feel less momentous to them. Just seems like a natural step in the whole “even up” process.

OldSenileGuy posted:I’m more wondering - if the leafs come back and win game 7, how far do they have to go to save Keefe’s job? Or is he fired after these playoffs no matter what? Keefe's job is probably already safe. Ginette Reno posted:If the Kings are that desperate to get rid of him you hope that they would eat some of it and that the price wouldn't be too high. Or you just absorb the whole thing and take him for cheap. You should be able to get some serious draft capital out of them to take all or even most of that contract, which is something the Pens should be willing to do in a theoretical world where they have cap space, which unfortunately is not the one we're living in. Also, mandatory reminder that PLD has a full NMC and will only waive it for one team, which isn't the Penguins. Nybble posted:lol that’ll fix it It might. Reirden is spectacularly incompetent.

Koopa Kid posted:My It's more likely a desire to not give borderline penalty calls and the first few games of the playoffs is where the adjustment starts to happen for the teams and for the referees. So as the borderline contact calls disappear, the number of chances disappear, and they become way more impactful when they are called and you score on it.

The Canucks (and their fans on here) are so much more likeable than the Oilers (and their fans on here). I hope the Canucks destroy the Oilers so bad that Edmonton is relocated to the Northwest Territories out of embarrassment.
