Lightning @ Leafs - Jan. 2nd, 7:00pm - SNO, Fan 590

Namestnikov pushes Andersen twice in the crease and then knocks him over and that doesn?t get a penalty from the refs....Christ.
 
I really hope that's offsetting minors. The Polak crosschecks I can live with...if there's no goaltender interference/mauling penalty I'll be unimpressed.

Yeah, good job Polak. Taking stupid penalties against this team...

This. He got away with the first hit, then chases him and cross checked him in the back to make sure that the ref had to call it.

I?m okay with Polak?s response.

I thought the second cross-check was a little overzealous. Namestnikov was clearly not going to engage and he was skating away from Polak faster than Polak could get going. At that point, you take a number and back away.
 
The awful penalties by polak and Martin are getting out of hand. Game after game, those two take late awful penalties and handicap the leafs.  Neither should be in the NHL.  Completely insane that they are in the lineup.
 
Like, it was a pretty soft shove... Who cares?  If they cream him, THEN go after them. This puts us down a man to the most lethal team in the league all for retribution over a little shove.
 
No, I'm going to stand up for Polak.  What's he going to do, blast Namestnikov at some random point down the line.  Andersen appreciates it I bet, even if he has to help try to kill this.

And this is why Neanderthal* Polak shouldn't be in the league.

Yes. Hit him with a hard, clean hit the next time they're on the ice together. Or let Martin or someone else do it. Retribution doesn't need to be immediate. Don't put the extra oomph into the second cross-check.

Polak hasn't really been the problem on D, lately at least.
 
It was a garbage call. You don't touch the goalie, it is in the rule book. Enough said. Police should of just knock him out. Leafs have been seen off over the past 5 games. Kadri knocked out of 2 games with a elbow to the head. NO call. The NHL is biased.

You mean aside from the 5th Vegas goal that killed the Leafs comeback last game?
