The Leafs always have a huge PP disadvantage when they play in Buffalo. The Sabres always seem to get a late power play too.

That last one was just a bad call. I didn't think Ranger played that badly.

His coach didn't seem to think it was a bad call. Carlyle called it a blatant hold.
mirtle: Carlyle on Ranger's penalty: "It was a blatant hold by our defenceman. You can't take your hand off the stick and grab the player."

Hey, I'm not saying I agree with Coach Inconsistent - just that he didn't think it was a weak call, and that it could influence his lineup decisions tonight. So, that probably means Gardiner's out.

Ranger just cost Smith is spot in the lineup.

Unfortunate though.
He hit the puck about the same time he took out his legs, which would not make it first.
Carlyle thought it should have been a penalty shot. Called it a "missed call".
Bonsixx said:From what I saw, he got the puck first. And I thought it was pretty clear. It was a great defensive play.

Assuming he did get the puck first, then it's not a penalty per the rules. But I have to agree with the play-by-play guys, it's a stupid rule. If you trip a player, it's a tripping penalty. Not sure why touching or not touching the puck has any bearing on being a penalty or not.
