Leafs @ Bruins - Apr. 12th, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

[AvroArrow]

Get over it already.

Get over what?  There's nothing to get over.

 

[puckinthehead]

Wasn't anywhere near his head, he hit him on the numbers, just like Chara hit Marner, but entirely unlike how Wingles sent his elbow straight into Marners face. Kadri has my full support.

You clearly need to watch it again if you think it was nowhere near his head.

And the elbow on Marner does not excuse what Kadri did.  Two wrongs don't make a right.

I can watch it all night if you want. One question: did he hit him on the numbers, yes or no?

We can thank the Refs. for this type of game. Kadri gets hit from behind...nothing, Marner gets double teamed with an elbow to the chin to top it off...still nothing. Boston gets to hit anyone, the Refs decided the Leafs should just sit and take it.

:
Let me guess, yer 14 and have no concept of care or concern for others?

What about the concern for Marner's head? How many of those elbows is he supposed to eat before he becomes another statistic?

 

[Oracle]

I'll take that as a yes. I rest my case.

1. The ass is a sufficiently large object such that the numbers and head can both be close to the point of contact.

2. Wingels turns and ducks away to, SHOCKER, protect his head.

If you can't figure this out for yourself, then I'm not gonna hand-hold you through it.

Both your points are correct, but immaterial. Did Kadri hit him on the numbers, yes or no?

Cheers. I sure hope the next game is not like this one though.

I already said that should have been called.  Nobody, LITERALLY nobody has said anything to the contrary about the elbow.

It STILL doesn't excuse Kadri.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Yup. The first penalty on Kadri when he hit Wingels was a terrible call.

In what universe are they immaterial?

Yes, he got him in the numbers.  He still intentionally targeted his head.  But, as per the very material point 2, Wingels' moved.  They aren't mutually exclusive.

I'm glad he did something to stand up for Marner. If it was 2-1, I wouldn't but the game was done.

 

[mr grieves]

Excluding the last period, when the wheels came off, I think this one was pretty much done after 2 -- Bruins were better at 5v5 and figured out how to neutralize the top PP unit, and the Leafs' penalty kill, which the Athletic's Dom noted had some pretty suspect underlying numbers, stalled out.

Don't think it'll be a short series, but they sure looked out-coached tonight.

Now you're inside Kadri's head. He may have moved to avoid the head, the video evidence would support that claim just as well. The vast majority of his energy went into the boards as he tried to avoid Wingel's head but clipped him on the numbers, is just as plausible a narrative.

 

[gunnar36]

Plekanec has been awful as a Leaf.  Moore would be a way better option, heck I think Ben Smith (whom I despised and ridiculed for 2 seasons) would be more effective.

The reason I think Plekanec keeps playing is probably Babcock's ego.  I would have to think he was lobbying to bring Plekanec to Leafs but I'm not so sure why.

Maybe you could *also* throw a little heat towards their players instead of solely focusing on Kadri. Hits from behind, elbow to the chin. If their player wasn't falling the hit would've been nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[sickbeast]

I'm not sure this game could have gone any worse.  The Bruins wore the Leafs down physically, won the game, and now Kadri might get suspended.  At least no one got injured, I guess.  This is what I was worried about with Boston.  They play a very physical game and most of the Leafs' players are young and small.  Marner had a really hard time tonight in particular.  The first two periods were fine but Boston won this game for a reason.  The Leafs are going to be in tough for this series.  Game 2 is pretty much a must win game at this point.

I'm especially targeting Kadri because it was intent to injure - that crap is unacceptable.

God shut up. You have no idea what Kadri was thinking. Payback's a bitch.  Be happy your Bruins won. So done with you.

I don't think so. If their player had stayed on his feet, it would've been a great hit.

 

[cabber24]

I think BOS will be taking liberties with our kids and my hope is that we're able to not retaliate and to not let it get to us. Put your head down and kill them with your speed and skill. I am worried about Kadri having a fit. I am not convinced he can keep his cool. No flopping or embellishments just take it and move on and stick to our game.

Called it with Kadri?s childish play, grow up. You know Boston is coming and you reacted like a child. Exactly what they wanted.

Babcock playing the 4th line with a minute left in the second with a face off in our end... Komarov on the PP... Komarov in the lineup.

A franchise worth billions doesn?t have the resources to detect an offside!!! Are you serious?!? WTF?

Plekmanac trade didn?t work move on.

We were probably the better team the first half. Rough first game but we?re not done.

 

[sickbeast]

The thing is, Boston knows how to be greasy and dirty without getting a penalty for it.  They did this to the Leafs all game and wore them down.  Finally Kadri lost it and did what he did.  It was kind of due justice, really.  The elbow to Marner's head was dirty.  What Kadri did was retribution, and I don't think he meant to hit his head; the guy went down and Kadri had already lined him up.
