It's hard to blame the refs when you get 5 powerplays and can't buy a goal. Anymore power plays and the Leafs would have been scored on short handed. Unless the Leafs play a team who are weakened by key injuries (Tampa Bay last year), they can't keep playing backup goalies against some of the best starting goalies in the League that are on the rosters of the top teams in their division.

[@matthewdowling6549]

What I've learned from this series is Jim Montgomery is coaching circles around Sheldon Keefe. I absolutely love it.

[@jspotter89]

That's been true of every coach they've faced in the playoffs since he got to Toronto, including a guy who is no longer coaching in this league because everyone knows he's terrible. The math's pretty easy on that one. I'm shocked they extended him after Treliving got the GM job. This whole experience has been fascinating, watching a guy as championship-infused as Brendan Shanahan consistently ice a team that doesn't have a single chromosome of it, year in and year out.

[@APigthatflys]

The funniest thing about Keefe's comments is that, since the 2012/13 season, Marchand is 7th in PIM. Acting like Marchand has ever gotten the benefit of the doubt is mind-numbingly insane. Marchand is probably next to only Tom Wilson when it comes to players that can't even get away with breathing on another player. Call it like it is: Bertuzzi FLOPPED on that trip. You're trying to tell me that 5'9" Marchand can flip 200+ pound Bertuzzi nearly 180 degrees with his stick? Bertuzzi would have won a gold in olympic diving with that, and had he not shown off his improv skills, chances are both players do get called for something. But Bert did his best to bait a call and it didn't go his way, and now Keefe is sounding like Berube in 2019; making stuff up to cover HIS ass and deflect the blame elsewhere. 7th in PIM and you think he can "get away" with stuff is comedy GOLD Also, Leafs got away with at least 2 blatantly obvious high sticks tonight. A few interferences, holds and crosschecks in there as well. 0-5 on the powerplay and Leaf fans are still acting like the refs are in cahoots against them 😂

[@edited1325]

[@Bruski76159]

Look at this game in isolation... Marchand was hooking or tripping players every single shift. Any if those could/would be called in the regular season. (Btw: im a Sens fan so i hate both teams, but i want to see the leafs suffer especially)

[@matthewroberts3185]

While your language is inflammatory, I agree you gotta be coping if you think that bertuzzi didn't dive there 😂 and to focus on that one play and act like it was the reason they lost, some leafs fans are crazy

You can sit there and be mad abt a bert dive but you literally cannot act like Marchand doesn’t get away with stuff 😂 When his careers done i can guarantee he will talk abt the dirty shit he did and got away with.

Don’t blame refs , leafs had many opportunities and got away dives because bertuzzi was like a swan tonight,leafs money never showed up tonight it’s playoffs smarten up

[@jimlangdon1947]

The elephant in the room for the Leafs Core 4 is - Matthews only generates between 33% and %50 of the assist compared to the current top 25 NHL assist leaders. That is a significant weakness for any NHL first line Centre. Last night Marchand was the super star not Matthews. There is no way with the above significant weakness - that Matthews should ever be paid the top NHL pay. Go Leafs go! 😀 Just fairly pay Auston the same as other top goal scorers get.

[@triandfit1]

It’s been the same since they assembled this dream team. You don’t need tough individuals to make up for the mental weakness of the other 3/4 of the team. You need the whole team to be mentally tough. The thing is, they aren’t even close.

@unimpressively_charming what’s your take on Tavares high sticking McAvoy right in front of the ref and not getting a call? This is why people can’t stand leafs fans.

[@tjxrick4139]

Let's not pretend Bertuzzi didn't sell that trip harder than Marchand's dive lol.

[@LogjammerDbaggagecling-qr5ds]

Not to mention bertuzzi tripped Marchand immediately before that. He literally stood up from a trip and took down bertuzzi, they were going back and forth and the refs saw it. That's why they didn't call it. Either they both go to the box or neither one does.
