Game 39 - Tampa Bay Lightning vs Toronto Maple Leafs W7-3

[Tigger]

I've made fun of him plenty so props to Boyce on the pk there.

 

[maplesyrup]

Break out the bubbly!

 

[bustaheims]

Yeah, but even the most disciplined of guys might get there arms up in the Connolly situation.

Doesn't change the fact that it's a clear penalty, whereas Schenn's was not - or, at least, was not as clear.

 

[maplesyrup]

Sorry, their (not there.)  :-[

 

[Propellertop]

I don't believe our defenseman was anywhere near the puck when taken down. Some reason that wasn't an interference penalty?

 

[Derk]

Could this be the TSN turning point on the Leafs abysmal PK? Or is fate just playing a cruel joke on Leaf fans? Stay tuned and find out! ;D

 

[Propellertop]

That was HUGELY offside coming into the T.O. zone..

 

[Tigger]

Boy does Kulemin anticipate well defensively.

Why do they NEVER call the hit from behind when it is in the open ice.  Steckel was hit right in the numbers there.

 

[ZBBM]

Jeez.  Downie draws another penalty.

 

[Arn]

That was a pretty sexy little move from Kadri to get that shot away, almost snuck it in too

No idea, but it is clearly a penalty:

43.1 Checking from Behind ? A check from behind is a check delivered on a player who is not aware of the impending hit, therefore unable to protect or defend himself, and contact is made on the back part of the body. When a player intentionally turns his body to create contact with his back, no penalty shall be assessed.

That hit on Steckel's numbers was nice too.

 

[Erndog]

Incredible how concerned they are with Downie

 

[Tigger]

Dumb...dumb dumb...dumb

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

The wife kiboshed the Dom Perignon idea.

 

[Bonsixx]

You have to admire the Leafs' persistence in practising their PK tonight.

 

[Coderaspberry]

Someone needs to "discourage" Downie and quiet him down.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

St. Louis clearly interfered with the Leafs player there.
