Hahahaha jesus christ
Welp. There you have it! Case closed.
I can’t be bothered to support this league further to be honest.
Will I? Probably.
Do I know I shouldn’t? Yes.
Cool – then call him for diving and when it’s challenged they can see it again.
We really need an “Eye in the sky” ref. This is nonsense.
That’s the most pants on head retarded thing I’ve ever heard
This league is fucked
And here I was believing my stupid eyesight like a chump. Glad they were able to clarify for me.
I love how people talk about how leafs fans just whine about the refs.
League is fucked if you don’t even protect your start players
Why can’t we have AI refs, since we can’t find any competent refs…
I was wondering why no one from the leafs responded. That must have been why…
I needed a good laugh… 🤪
Makes it even worse honestly, just admit you fucked it lol
Is this what gaslighting is?
I was lurking the Colorado sub after that and some of their fans were saying it was shoulder on shoulder…
Is it a race thing?
I will celebrate the day all human refs lose their jobs and it becomes automated
Lol Leafs really need to pull a Vanfleet or Darko on these refs.
I’m a bit torn on this.
One one hand it’s hilarious.
On the other hand if there’s one thing refs hate more than being yelled and screamed at, it’s being embarrassed publicly. Feel like this ref in particular is just going to double down.
Eat the refs
It will never improve, we just gotta find a way to win otherwise.
You can not tell me that that wasn’t a fucking penalty. If THAT isn’t a penalty then I’m not sure what we are doing here. Like, seriously. The amount of mental gymnastics you would have to do to convince yourself that that isn’t a penalty is not Olympic level but beyond parody. I’m not sure in my wildest dreams or imagination I could come up with a more clear example of blatant and brutal officiating in this absolute side show of a league. I’m beyond shocked and disgusted at that dogs breakfast of officiating I just wasted my night watching. Shameful.
I didn’t watch the game. Anyone have a clip of this?
Ref should be suspended for that then. If you can’t see the game you shouldn’t be reffing.
LOL
As long as referee accountability is done behind closed doors, we will continue to see game management based on “feels”. Absolute bush league
Best sport, worst league.
It really is too bad we can’t enjoy the NHL for what it could be. The politics have ruined it, the league is riddled with cancer beneath the surface.
Who cares, it’s not like any of them did a fucking thing about it. Can’t blame the refs because the Leafs are soft pussies.

You tell me what you think:

The fact no one went after 42 after the crosscheck tells you alot about this team
The NHL continues to make themselves the most difficult league to care about.
Kelly Sutherland really does hate him
I think each team should get one free hit on a ref at the end of the season. And I’d like to nominate this guy
The only thing worse than incompetent officiating is the NHL’s complete lack of response in holding the officials accountable.
The NFL demoted the officiating crew that blew the Dallas-Detroit two point conversation call.
Sort of sick of the whining and crying by the team and the fanbase. Fucking do something about it. You know what Boston would have done there? They would have fucking slaughtered him. They would have turned the game into a side show, and they would have gotten a ton of power plays because of it. This team is just filled to the fucking brim with soft shitty loser players. It’s not a secret how the league is officiated. Adjust, or shut the fuck up. How many times can you be surprised by the same fucking thing? What is this, year seven of wondering why just being a clean team isn’t working in their favour? Sorry, but the team is just a bunch of pussies.

NHell
Not a serious league
I think the ref made a good call
Matthews violently attacked that players stick with his kidney. He should probably be suspended for it
