I’ll be neutral here. The goal was called correctly no goal. If you’re a true hockey expert like me you would agree that there’s not enough evidence to show that the puck was over the line during the play before it was called dead. Second the refs did make some really bad calls but they weren’t calling much, unless there were penalties that couldn’t be bypassed like flicking the puck outta play will get you a delay every time. Maple leafs just weren’t physical enough. They beat them selves and had high expectations to win it all this year is why they crumbled. Florida was playing with no pressure also sitting with a 3-0 lead in the series.

[@Kevin-jl5lw]

Honestly great take, but that puck was in the net, you can fully see where it is stopped under his pad, and you can fully see his pad enter the net once the puck is trapped under his pad, I agree you have to go with what is called on the ice, I’m not disagreeing with that, I’m more pissed at the fact that it’s obviously in the net at some point if it’s trapped under the pad, since the whole pad enters the net almost up to his knee at one point, it’s pretty obvious to me it had to of went in.. I’m actually more pissed the refs had some big involvement in us going home again, last year with the “pick” play when they called back the call on tavarez to tie the game in game 7 against the bolts, and now this.. it’s our fault we were down 3 but shittt, that goal could’ve changed everything.

One thing that I am just tired of at this point is people blaming refs for everything (not saying you are, you didn’t really in the video). It’s like, every single series, every single year, since the dawn of the sport maybe, people on both sides complain that the refs are either out to get them, or are just completely incompetent all of the time. The way I always land in that is that if the team can’t get past a couple potential missed calls, a “maybe goal” not being allowed, or a bad call, then the team doesn’t t deserve to win. It’s always going to happen, it’s like getting a bad bounce that goes in, sometimes sh*t just happens, it’s how you deal with it that defines the team.

[@rpannier]

The Leafs lost for a lot of reasons that have nothing to do with the refs. I'm not a stat guy, but this one is a standout; the Panthers had the puck in the Offensive zone for 31 seconds in the 1st period and scored twice. The Panthers played chippier hockey for the most part. Most people in hockey know the refs don't blow the whistle as much, yet the Leafs don't get chippier. How many goals did the four guys who eat up so much of the salary (cap space) get? If you eat up that much space, you have to produce many points.

[@Pipes570]

The fact that the commentators were doing everything but swearing on live TV specifically shows that the calls against the Leafs were all bogus. The "delay of game" call was not delay of game, the delay of game call MUST be when the puck is dumped down the ice from the defensive zone where it goes over the glass without touching anything after the dump, NOT being slapped out at the bench where it wasn't even high enough to go over any glass, again, the commentators made that point extremely clear, call after call, the refs were shit through and through and they shouldn't even be reffing for 6 year old's playing pond hockey, let alone an NHL game. It's unfortunate that the NHL states that they don't publish when refs get "held accountable" to the press, the refs are supposed to get a $2000 fine for every bad call and I hope these refs get the max. It's not even simply about Toronto either, refs will keep doing this BS until they seriously get held accountable, especially in playoff games.

the leafs cost them this series

[@ericstefko4852]

I think it was in, but it was not undisputable. But the refs sucked, this whole series. time and time again the Panthers got away with a number of penalties. This panther team is a dirty bunch.

[@politicalbandwagon4989]

Reffing wasn’t great in game 5 but the series was over at that point anyways. Also leafs fans are overreacting to the bad calls as well. That’s just playoff hockey, you need to practically attempt murder to get a penalty.

[@HockeyCircle]

Thats a good point, and the right call was made for the no goal

[@politicalbandwagon4989]

@@HockeyCircle That was the other thing. I feel like that would be more outrageous if it counted than not. Someone also stirred up a controversy about Gudas holding Jarnkrok’s stick on the winner, which is just ridiculous. I feel like their fans are just trying to grasp at anything.

[@HockeyCircle]

@@politicalbandwagon4989 Yeah I thik you`re 100% right on this one

[@willyschmitt5665]

Another Toronto failure. Now what?

[@HockeyCircle]

Good question, trades? Fire some people? We shall see

[@patrickjoyce4178]

The Russian Panthers have a the best funding and officiating the mafia can buy. Bettmen is making sure Toronto never sips from Stanley He is Harold Ballard incarnated.

[@allentam5754]

I know it's unfair but trade Nylander In the June draft. Don't resign Gustafsson, O'Reilly, Kerfoot, and please don't resign Holl 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤣🤣🤣. Resign Kampf, Acciari, Bunting, Schenn and Samsonov. Buyout Murray and JT. Fire Keefe. Keep Dubas unless u can find a gm to replace him. The best gm already signed with teams like Holland, Nill, Sakic and Yzerman their teams not letting them go.

[@HockeyCircle]

Holl has to go yes hahaha big changes coming

[@docriley7837]

They would have gotten away with it too if hadn't have been for those medling refs. SCOOBY DOOBY DOO!!

[@markabendroth1774]

Yup the reffing sucks but leafs had calls go their way against Tampa, without those they wouldnt of been here. Down 3 nothing is a tough spot to get out of. Dubas tried to buy chemistry & championship team , 35 million on players who couldnt fight their way out of a wet paper bag let alone fight for the cup.

[@HockeyCircle]

Yeah thats a good point, that no call on Hagel was worse. Lets see whats next for this team

[@rickrobitaille8809]

This hurts🤢🇨🇦🎵

[@nw5473]

ABSOLUTELY DID……SOME REFS STINK AND THAT ONE SURE DID. FAST WHISTLE…SLOW WHISTLE…THEY DO IT LOTS.

[@timdowney6721]

Nope. The Leafs lost because Florida beat them. Period.

[@nw5473]

@@timdowney6721 Yes, you are correct. Florida did beat Toronto; but with the help of the referee……..🤷‍♀️🙋‍♀️🥰

[@terryotto67]

The holding the stick penalty the game winning goal cast them the game bad non call

[@HockeyCircle]

[@jeepman53]

Bad Call-Dirty FLA Team-Referees Bad.Million Dollar Players Lacking Effort-Matthews Was Garbage,Marner Also. Go Play Golf Now Big Boys.

[@elcid451]

The puck was under his skate and the skate was well inside the net! Good goal disallowed because the NHL is rigged. You are out to lunch!

[@DrTruckster]

The Leafs lost that series.

[@HockeyCircle]

Indeed

[@imthekeeperofthecheese5579]

[@paull6156]

Overpaid “star” mediocrity cost the leafs ALL the depth.

[@HockeyCircle]

Good point

[@ЛёняТопоров-щ1е]
