the Schenn and Kampf calls were particularly egregious.

especially when Kampf was penalized while I want to say Nick Paul was literally chasing one of our d-man around the entire fucking rink trying to start a fight.

The kampf one is chintzy but gets called. The frustration was they let way more than that go, including slashes.

the schenn one just wasn’t a penalty. You can’t cross check a guy with your forearm.

Kampf definitely slashed him, just tough to swallow that being the only penalty called during the like five minutes preceding and following it, given how many obvious other infractions there were.

and yeah, Schenn pushed him with his arm. definitionally not a cross-check.

also chintzy was the call on Tampa d-man when Bunting dived after the whistle...but overall, I agree, the Leafs got the short end of reffing mediocrity last night
 
I feel like this thread needs a lightning rod of hate for everyone that agree on.

Leafs three losses away from interviewing Treliving, Chiarelli, and Bowman
 
McCabe nearly kills a dude (clean but usually they blow it down anyway) and nothing but Schenn leans on Colton and gets a cross checking call

Then you get labelled a whiner for moaning about the refs

y'all need to hug it out. everyone is feeling pretty shite today after watching last night's shit show, I imagine.

I had to mute myself midway through the first when my poor dog was getting quite concerned by the things I had to say to the TV...

Knies, Holmberg, McMann, Engvall, Sandin, Lilly.

All guys who could’ve played last night but who were either held down, dumped, or scratched.

You build for the playoffs in the regular season.

You put young players in positions to contribute and grow so that they're ready to contribute in the playoffs. We expect them all to arrive in the NHL fully developed for some fucking reason.

If this is the swan song for Keefe and The Nerd, that will go down as the biggest reason why imo.

the first goal was such an epic shitshow all around.

first, ZAR with the bad giveaway.

then, neither Holl nor Kampf actually cover Perry. but they also didn't fucking cover anyone else and just let him waltz around the net and left Bellemare fucking wide open in front of the net. at least Gio was trying to tie up Maroon I think it was.

I honestly have a more fundamental issue with that play. Yeah, the players on the ice all should have done a much better job than they did....but

It's 1 minute into game 1 of the playoffs. What in the flying fuck is ZAR-Lafferty-Kampf doing on the ice? How is the plan going into the game not "we have last change and the better top 6....I am going to ram my top 6 down Coopers fucking mouth the entire 1st period to set the tone...I want them out there for 15 fucking minutes of the first 20".

We know why....Sheldon put Matthews on and Cooper countered with his checking line, so Sheldon yanked Matthews to get the matchup he wanted.

Sheldon decided to go all Galaxy Brain to get the fucking matchup he wanted, and our 4th line was on the ice (instead of Auston fucking Matthews and Mitch fucking Marner) 1 minute into the game.

yup.

shift chart: https://www.nhl.com/stats/shiftcharts?id=2022030121

the 2 2nd lines start the game, and coop does the quick yank and brings out his 1st line for a full shift.

Leafs 2nd line gets their full shift, 1st line comes on most of they way through their 1st line's shift.....and then coop brings out their 4th line and instead of keefe thinking WHOA I HAVE MY FIRST LINE OUT AGAINST THEIR 4TH LINE THAT"S PERFECT he says no, NEED to have my 4th line on and yanks the 1st line in seconds, and they score.

it's pretty hilarious - the whole point about line matching is to get favorable matchups like our 1st line out against their 4th line, and keefe's brain shortcircuited and took away that advantage from himself.
