Lul u saw the replay of the Kampf penalty. Foote sold it like a drama class student. A phantom call as we hockey fans like to call it.

If anything should have been 2min for embellishment for Foote. As where was the face hit in that play easy it wasnt






Didnt help Kerfoot somehow highsticked a giant of a man to make it 5 on 3 but without that Toronto would have won that 6th game. Cooper even said it "Without that 5 on 3 we had nothing"

Dont be silly and childish going "oh they would have blown it regardless" as nobody knows but based on Coopers comments he didnt feel that way lul

McCauley should not allowed to ref any Leafs games during the playoffs.

Watch him be the ref for all 7 games

NHL know the relation between Wes and Keefe and want more drama this series

Get ready for non penalized things to be penalized lul

Honestly would make more $$$$$ than the entire playoff games so I would be all for it

Just watching Keefe RKO him would be hilarious

he should not be allowed to ref any games during the playoffs at all. The guy misses more calls than Javy Baez does baseballs, yet he keeps getting assigned to games

L'Ecuyer is also pretty bad

Remember a linescrum between Toronto and Tampa. Only gave Bunting a penalty despite Tampa initiating it lul. Clip on twitter going around shows it

But hey winning with deck stacked against makes things more interesting.

I’m going to legit be a psychopath and take the same numbers, but reverse all of the teams, except lemme tweak Seattle to a 3-2 win.

Tor W 4-1
NJD W 2-1
Jets spank 5-1

Is my actual bracket picks too, including sea

(Taking tor in 5due to TBL loss of depth, tor had them last year with less depth when they were stronger, NJD Nyr admittedly impossible to predict cause so much youth and changes but I drank the Hughes koolaid and as a Blues fan I have bias to convince myself Patrick Kane sucks, sea because col is top heavy with injury risk - if there is an issue the gap that it creates is unbalancing, jets a combo of the last hurrah due to pld, core age, along with their team height and the fact that I’m in love with Kyle Connor)
