What?  We got a penalty out of that?

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Connolly is back on the ice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

That was the penalty?  Yikes.

 

[Coderaspberry]

It wasn't a high stick, but it was a slash.  Chintzy, but a slash.

 

[L K]

YAY 5 on 3

 

[Propellertop]

I have NO idea what Crabb could have been thinking.

 

[Coderaspberry]

Wow, I've liked Joey Crabb's PK work, but that bordered on idiotic.

 

[L K]

Sweet and the Leafs are still on the PK
3-1

This team plays like they have had a full lobotomy on the 5 on 3s.  All three guys went into the corner to fight for a puck against 2 Capitals...think about that one. 

 

[Edeagle]

this is some bs

 

[ZBBM]

Crabb -- putting us down 2 goals now?  That's inexcusable.

 

[Propellertop]

TERRIBLE positioning. The Leafs are going to lose this game after starting so well because of penalties. Sad.

 

[Erndog]

I actually thought that was a great body check!  WTF?  You can't hit anyone anymore.

Yay another pp goal against... We have to fix this PK

I didn't think that was an automatic or stupid penalty like some here thought it was.

Yeah I thought it was ok as well. He didn't take extra strides, but simply finished his check.

It would've been a good hit...if the puck was anywhere near.

Was the puck near him when he hit him, that's what I was looking at as maybe the problem?  On the flip-side though.  The Leafs have taken 21 penalties in the last 4.5 games to the 13 they have drawn.  That is just not going to end well.  What I don't understand is how the Leafs have suddenly become this penalty heavy team when they have been outplaying the opposition.

 

[Erndog]

He body checked a guy.  Perfectly clean.  That was it.

The guy passed it across the ice and was a little off balance and Crabb smoked him.  Nothing more, happens all the time.

I was actually quite pleased when I saw the hit the. Saw a penalty and could not believe it was THAT.

Actually the first penalty - Armstrong slashing after the whistle - was as idiotic as Crabb?s penalty

I thought he hit the guy just after he released his pass, but I only quickly came back to the screen when the reply was on and might not have had the best view of it.

 

[Derk]

Wow, another 3 PPGA.

Not good at all.
