The Leafs are up 2-0 with eight minutes to go! Yay! We are about to beat the 2015 Stanley Cup finalists! Oh no they scored, but thats okay, there's only six minutes left! Now there's a penalty- but we killed 5 straight this game! let's make it si-they tied it. THEY FREAKING TIED IT. For the THIRD time this season we blow a 2 GOAL LEAD IN THE THIRD.
I'm not even ready to blame this game on the Leafs though.
The first goal was a laser and a miracle I cannot blame Andersen or any of the defenders because that outcome was the last thing I expected. THIS DUDE HASN'T SCORED IN 31 GAMES AND NOW HE BREAKS THE DROUGHT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
They also had some pretty crappy calls against them. The overturned goal because of "goalie interference" was absolute trash.
"Goaltender interference is a penalty in ice hockey whereby a player is found in the goal crease when a goalie is establishing his position in the same area." (Wikipedia)
Let's run through that play shall we? Kadri is pushed by Pavelski into Jones. Kadri barely grazes the goalie AND THIS WAS NOT EVEN IN THE BLUE PAINT. How can the refs call this a bad goal? How can they review it and still call it a bad goal?
The Matt Hunwick penatly was a pretty crappy call too.
All in all, this was a pretty forgettable game.
