Fuck.
Ok play Simmons and take advantage
Doesn’t matter who the refs are, leafs just need to win, no matter how unskilled or greasy
pls dont lose the series gooning out on bennett its still so winnable :'( get him back in the regular season if u must, it can be a reason to re-sign schenn!!
Well that’s it, the panthers are too good for the leafs to win while McCauley is officiating. Should have taken one or both of the first two.
Edit: panthers
Fuck Wes. We all know how this shit will go.
We’re boned.
Well, I know how I’m gonna bet a pile of money
They broke the 4-1 curse last round, so now they can break the McCauley curse tonight.
Well, any chance of the leafs playing a physical game/getting retribution on Bennett has gone out the window
Morning ruined
0-8 with him right?
At the same time, put up enough goals that the refs don’t matter.
Fucking great
What’s the history with these refs?
Oh no 🙁
Looks like I’m making some money tonight.
This might be a good thing. Whether or not you think Wes hates the Leafs, the one thing that is for certain is he makes way too many calls against every single team. Even if you think he’s going to call the game with a Panthers slant, if Florida is playing magnitudes more dirty than the Leafs are, it should show on the box score.
Think positively.
Jesus fuckin christ… welp. Was fun winning 1 round anyway
welp the fix was in. NHL wants florida.
I’m not losing hope yet. Got to win one despite the refs.
FFS
If this isn’t a message from the NHL telling the Leafs NOT to retaliate for a WWE body slam that concussed our rookie, and that the DoPS completely ignored and therefore rewarded, then idk what is.
Fuck Wes and Dan, fuck the DoPS, and sincerely fuck Bennett.
Lol we’re fucked
It’s alright, I made the trip down to keep an eye on things.
We’re getting to a point where officiating will make me check out altogether.
Oh boy
yeah, 0-3
Ill be putting large money on the over for penalties to Toronto. Who wants to retire!
There is a Dereck Delguadio tweet I love (about Democrats) that I have thought a lot about during these playoffs:
I used to rig card games for a living. I’d watch people sit down and lose everything, again and again. But they didn’t lose because they « played by the rules » and we didn’t. They lost because it wasn’t a game. It just looked like one. Democrats think it’s a game.
The Leafs need to stop thinking about this as a fair game and sport.
Give me simmer!!!
Oh joy.
Holy fuck this league is so rigged. They don’t even try to hide it any more.
Good Luck, Toronto. All you can do to win is score. Touch those precious Panthers, you’re getting a misconduct from McClowney and then suspended by Parros.
Seriously, Good Luck.
Oh god here we go
Florida up 3-0 then.
Holy crap, stop whining about the refs before the game started. I know McCauley sucks but come on, we’re 9 hours from puck drop and we’re already blaming the refs. Just go out and play good enough that the reffing won’t matter
FUCK
Bets getting a hard on at the thoughts of Florida/Carolina
NHL really wants the leafs out…Betty is a troll
You know the integrity of the game is destroyed when the odds of a team winning or losing are being tied to who’s officiating any given game.
I want a bloodbath
Make sure it doesn’t matter who is officiating this game then.
The Leafs losing in four straight after taking 19 years to win one round would be the Leafiest way to end this season.
They are the hockey version of The Phantom Menace; send the fan base into orbit with hype and excitement after decades away from the big screen. Then just take a massive shit on everyone
Can’t break the 3-1 series curse if we never go down 3-1?
It’s the only way (I say to myself as I cry in the shower)
Guaranteed loss.
Nothing grows the game better than fucking over Canadian teams in favor of warm market teams with 500 fans amirite
I’ll be in bed… get the news in the morning.
Thanks for this. You just opened up 3 hours of my day.
The Leafs have had more power plays this series and still can’t get it done.
Even if it is one sided tonight with the penalties, I’m not sure the refs can fully be blamed for this series.
