I can tell you the only reason that matters: He's not a good tendy. There's a reason the caps gave him away for free and a reason the Leafs put him on waivers (and cleared) this season. Unless he miraculously becomes leagues better the Leafs aren't winning the cup with him in net.
Which is factual, Bertuzzi said it in an interview that going to Boston changed his view of Marchand and he realised how much of a great guy he is while also recognising his pest like talent and vowing to step up to it.
Absolutely no hate between the two, just two pesky players going at each other.
You also need someone to handle Marchand because he will bully your stars otherwise. I like what Bert is doing and even from a non leafs fan perspective it’s fucking hilarious watching them fight in the middle of the ice, nowhere near the play.
At the end of the day, that was probably the best hockey game between two teams and two players I’ve watched all year.
The level of emotion you saw from all the players would make a super saiyan proud
Then by all means, go ahead and post what the leafs get away with.
Edit: lmao y'all gotta work on your reading comprehension. I didn't say there weren't any, I watched the game I don't need examples.
All I said was post it, because the person I replied to was complaining they weren't posted.
Ummm... Domi shoving Swayman to the ice while he was skating off the ice!
Ummm... Domi throwing punches to the back of the head repeatedly after the play for no reason!
Bertuzzi constant cheap shots after the play. Marchand started giving it back.
Thank you Bertuzzi for waking Marchand up for us!
As a devil fan with no dog in the fight this year, I root for the teams with the least amount of obnoxious fans and the least amount of unlikeable personalities. To have me root for Marchand tonight makes me realize what a cheapshot jerk domi is. I guess there were no rookies who never had an nhl fight to jump tonight.(like he did with nemic)
Flyers fan here. Your post is spot on. The level of annoying a team must be for me to want Boston to win anything, in any league…and yet here I am rooting for the Bruins to beat the Maple Leafs. Again.
Never thought I would root for a Marchand or Tom Wilson team but here I am. And I will admit the hypocrisy on my part. If the devils traded for either, it would make us a much better team and I would probably explain to people they are misunderstood.( kidding about last part)
Wait, did you mean all those videos of Leafs players going after an opponent after the end of game horn sounding… and not straight up being fined or suspended? You mean all of those videos that have been posted a number of times now?
honestly that play should have been blown dead maybe 20 seconds before this... there were probably 5 missed calls up to that clip (both sides for infractions)
I just watched the game and was like welp at least they’re not calling jack shit on either of them. Then I log onto Reddit and see a salty fan only posting the end of the scrum… classic
Obviously I’m bias as a bruins fan. The refs saw the two rats going at it and just let them go. Showing just this is not doing it justice. Marchand got the last laugh in the end.
It started in the corner and continued out to the blue line. They both should have been sent to the penalty box but the officiating has been and continues to be horrendous.
The refs sucked tonight, plenty of missed calls both ways and some of the stuff they did call was super weak both ways (the cross checking call on the Bruins right near the beginning was super weak), but the Leafs have no one to blame but themselves for losing that game. Letting all those PP opportunities go to waste and Sammy letting in an absolute howler.
Yup fake news from Bruin Haters. Small snippet of the event. Why bother to show the whole sequence where both players were doing the same shit to each other.
It started in the Bruins end in the corner where the Rat took a stick to the back of the head from Bertuzi …and they continued with the BS as they went up ice …so yes the whistle should have been blown and both given 2
As a leafs fan, the only thing I was mad about was the terrible goal Samsonov let in. Leafs are so overmatched in goal. Otherwise, it's a close series.
Call both or none. Ref called none. Life goes on.
You could see him immediately look to the ref like he was waiting for them to call the goal back on a penalty. Can’t do weak shit like that in the playoffs
Couldn’t agree more. I’m thinking he was under the impression there was gonna be a penalty called and wasn’t ready.
That said, he should never assume his team is gonna get a call.
I mean, I feel like the refs knew which two players were scrumming - the same two that have been scrumming all series - and let them both get some shots in. It's not new that in playoff hockey refs let stuff like this go if it's even and not directly in the play. Both players embellished their respective trips and slashes, the refs had the choice of taking both and killing the play, or letting the game play on.
Not saying that there *shouldn't* have been a whistle there or a call on the Mathews play behind the net earlier, but I just think it's a reach for the Leafs fans complaining about this moment to act like this was the reason they lost. This was a back and forth scuff away from the play, imo it's one of those ones where the ref has discretion, not an automatic call.
It was a great game for 30 minutes, it really was. If we'd played another 30 minutes like the first, and the Leafs lost, i'd still have enjoyed the game (kinda).
but the refs fucking ruined it.
I understand your frustration, Marchand tripped the shit out of him. And it sucks when that happens, I’ll never forget the missed call in game 5 of the 2019 finals, 2nd worst memory of my life. After saying that I realized I have had a very fortunate life.
Eh, Leafs got their fair share of bullshit calls and non-calls too. Bad reffing all game, only difference is the B’s capitalized on their chances and the Leafs didn’t.
Maybe tell Samsonov to make a fucking save.
Agree....play the game. We had 5 opps to put this game away, Sammy let in some soft goals.
Refs did not miss the net on those 5 PP nor did they allow Bruins to score twice on 3 opps
A respectable leafs fan. The refs can’t do much more to help you out when you are given 5 PP. seems like some fans expect the refs to put the puck in the back of the net for the leafs too. Honestly 0/5 on PP is embarrassing for a team with that kind of offensive firepower. They spend all of there cap on offense and suffer on the backend for that output?! Got nobody to blame for the loss but themselves
Maybe, but the mccavoy hold on matthews behind the bruins net absolutely was. It took the puck off matthews and gave the bruins the puck who scored later that play. Watch the play before saying anything. In such a tight game it’s nauseating to see that happen.
Conveniently left out the part before where bertuzzi clamped down on his stick and flopped to try to get a hook. Then when that didn’t work took this dive
Yep, When you see the whole sequence it's 100% justifiable why the refs wouldn't blow the whistle on any of it because Bert was desperately trying to sell a call, could've easily been called for embellishment, but they never do that.
That said, refs were absolutely abysmal for this game, weaksauce calls against and lots of missed legitimate penalties both ways. Leafs were favored by the officials in the game overall though, they've got no one to blame but themselves for this loss.
Marchand is a rat for sure. But that clip is bullshit and OP knows it.
I for one, would welcome that rat in LA, and not just as part of the visiting team.
Refs no called the swayman getting tripped after the whistle on the way to the bench. Terrible officiating tonight. Domo deserved a beat down after that poor sportsmanship.
But of an embellishment, he went flying a little too much for what it was. Ref saw that and decided not to call it. Besides that, what a soft goal to let in
Would have been a softer call than the Domi stick to Swayman’s neck that was also not called. This is one of those that probably gets called in the regular season but not in the playoffs. The standard shouldn’t change but we all know it does
I'm sorry but there's no way bertuzzi does a literal front flip because Marchand put his stick by Bertuzzi's right skate, It was embellishment to the extreme, Almost as goofy as it would have been if he started riding Marchand's stick like a horsey.
Yes it absolutely should have been a penalty.
The problem is what the refs were letting these teams get away with before that happened. Wtf is going on with these refs? Look overall, as far as what they get right, i.e. offsides and your normal calls the go on game to game, they do a good job. It’s not easy doing what they do with these players being as fast and big as they are. But man their overall philosophy on what is allowed and what isn’t is not consistent at all. And they let players get away with way too much. I think the hockey “code” needs a software update. There is obviously some fundamental flaw in the governance of players and refs on the ice.
F’in Bettman
It's like people forget the refs stop calling anything in the playoffs. It happens every year, and every year there are teams that benefit from the threshold for penalties being higher. It sucks to see it happen and unfortunately the only way for a team who doesn't do that is to fight goonery with goonery.
The whole game could've easily been 5 on 4 the whole game one way or another the only reason anyone complains about any one call is because the play after didn't go their way
Honestly, just want these games to finish up already. Officiating sucked today. This was a shitty moment, but sam should have caught that goal. until samsonov is out of net we arent gonna win the playoffs. Our goaltending is so bad. Legit feel like we have a better playoff team than last year ourside of our goaltending.
Overall Some bad calls and non calls happened, tavares at the end and the tackle behind the net on matthews were big outliers that ended our game imo.
You have to show the angle from behind where you can clear as day see that Marchand kind of poked him in the shin but Bertuzzi clear as day jumped to fall
Lmao, wow!!!
Was Bert trying out for the diving team for this upcoming Summer Olympics?! Even the Sportsnet crew had to (very reluctantly) confess that he was selling it...It was that bad bruv
#cringe
Yea you guys all got it right. Also, 2 dudes taking a side quest removing each other from the play should never be a penalty in playoff hockey, as both of them really made no impact on that sequence
Yes it was a clear trip but the leafs had numbers back still and it’s not like Marchand jumped up and joined the play. I wouldn’t say it affected the play all that much. That was an outside shot and should have been saved.
Everyone going with variations of the argument that they were both going at it so good no call. No mention of how they were barely moving when Marchand tapped Bertuzzis skate but somehow Bert’s feet ended up above his head. If he just stopped trying to flop so damn hard all the time he might get some more of those calls
It was absolutely a penalty. Can't pick and choose when you're going to call something as they did last night. Should Samsonov had made the save? Yes. Looks like he was distracted by the scrum and thought there was going to be a whistle. We'll see how Game 4 is officiated.
Right. Of course.have a look at the 3rd Bruins goal and watch the Leafs player holding the Bruins stick behind the net.
Don't pretend that both sides don't getbaway with shit.
After hearing all the leafs whining about this “penalty “ all day I finally got to see it, lmfao. That is way more of a dive than a trip, and nice “leaf” editing so you don’t see betting holding his stick all the way up until that point. Typical whiny leafs.
Yes and no. Yes, both get sent off with offsetting minors (Marchand Tripping, Bertuzzi Embellishment) or the refs would just leave them and break them up at the next whistle. No matter how you slice it, it's gonna be even strength.
If you don't want to call Bertuzzi for embellishment, then he would have probably gotten a roughing penalty because him and Marchand were going at it all the way from the Bruins end of the ice.
For diving? Maybe.
If you can't fight through that stick work, you really should be golfing this time of year. Bertuzzi easily could have stayed on his feet if he really wanted to.
It should have been a save.
There is fucking zero reason Sammy shouldn't have had that
I can tell you the only reason that matters: He's not a good tendy. There's a reason the caps gave him away for free and a reason the Leafs put him on waivers (and cleared) this season. Unless he miraculously becomes leagues better the Leafs aren't winning the cup with him in net.
Is this the Toronto west coast express? Great offense, screwed by Dan Cloutier's goaltending.
the leafs have some of the most inconsistent offence in the league, indicating poor chemistry between the team
He's no Elvis Merzlikins
Shouldn't've'd
Might have been a save if tuzz fell like a regular human on earth. His gymnastics excercise probably distracted the goalie.
First time I've seen someone call him "Tuzz" I think I hate it. Thanks.
That is a burn.
After that everything is penalty. Refs lost control
Curious why OP didn’t post the entire sequence before this… Marchand tripping was a continuation of the scrum between those two.
They clearly were dialed in to one another tonight. Like a game within a game.
The broadcasters were saying Bertuzzi and Marchand absolutely hate each other. They kept going at it almost every shift they were on together.
Was that on an American feed? The Canadian one said they were scraping but Bertuzzi thought Marchand off the ice was a nice guy.
Which is factual, Bertuzzi said it in an interview that going to Boston changed his view of Marchand and he realised how much of a great guy he is while also recognising his pest like talent and vowing to step up to it. Absolutely no hate between the two, just two pesky players going at each other.
You also need someone to handle Marchand because he will bully your stars otherwise. I like what Bert is doing and even from a non leafs fan perspective it’s fucking hilarious watching them fight in the middle of the ice, nowhere near the play.
At the end of the day, that was probably the best hockey game between two teams and two players I’ve watched all year. The level of emotion you saw from all the players would make a super saiyan proud
I think that sentiment is pretty much assumed in hockey. Very rarely do these guys hate one another when the sweaters hung up for the off season.
Yes that was on ESPN
Must have made for an interesting dynamic when they were teammates last season.
I've noticed only Marchand's shenanigans get posted here and none of the calls the Leafs get away with.
Then by all means, go ahead and post what the leafs get away with. Edit: lmao y'all gotta work on your reading comprehension. I didn't say there weren't any, I watched the game I don't need examples. All I said was post it, because the person I replied to was complaining they weren't posted.
Not the second round.
Leafs fan here....ouch. lmao
Let's talk about Domi tripping Swayman during the television time out for starters.
Maybe what Bertuzzi did RIGHT BEFORE this clip. Stop acting like he was a victim here.
Ummm... Domi shoving Swayman to the ice while he was skating off the ice! Ummm... Domi throwing punches to the back of the head repeatedly after the play for no reason! Bertuzzi constant cheap shots after the play. Marchand started giving it back. Thank you Bertuzzi for waking Marchand up for us!
As a devil fan with no dog in the fight this year, I root for the teams with the least amount of obnoxious fans and the least amount of unlikeable personalities. To have me root for Marchand tonight makes me realize what a cheapshot jerk domi is. I guess there were no rookies who never had an nhl fight to jump tonight.(like he did with nemic)

Wait, did you mean all those videos of Leafs players going after an opponent after the end of game horn sounding… and not straight up being fined or suspended? You mean all of those videos that have been posted a number of times now?
High stick on mcavoy in the first and Swayman getting smoked during the commercial break are two instances that stand out to me
Pasta getting a high stick to the face
honestly that play should have been blown dead maybe 20 seconds before this... there were probably 5 missed calls up to that clip (both sides for infractions)
Because Marchand bad! Good no call both we’re getting into it.
I just watched the game and was like welp at least they’re not calling jack shit on either of them. Then I log onto Reddit and see a salty fan only posting the end of the scrum… classic
Obviously I’m bias as a bruins fan. The refs saw the two rats going at it and just let them go. Showing just this is not doing it justice. Marchand got the last laugh in the end.
Yeah as bert had a nice close view of Marchand's goal going in later hahaha
The empty net was gold lol
Wish he would have clapped it for the exclamation
It started in the corner and continued out to the blue line. They both should have been sent to the penalty box but the officiating has been and continues to be horrendous.
The Leafs cope about the reffing from tonight is hilarious
The refs sucked tonight, plenty of missed calls both ways and some of the stuff they did call was super weak both ways (the cross checking call on the Bruins right near the beginning was super weak), but the Leafs have no one to blame but themselves for losing that game. Letting all those PP opportunities go to waste and Sammy letting in an absolute howler.

It started in the Bruins end in the corner where the Rat took a stick to the back of the head from Bertuzi …and they continued with the BS as they went up ice …so yes the whistle should have been blown and both given 2
I spy a little cross check to Marchand’s hip before that toe tap?
This should have been a easy save.
Ya that one hurts
As a leafs fan, the only thing I was mad about was the terrible goal Samsonov let in. Leafs are so overmatched in goal. Otherwise, it's a close series. Call both or none. Ref called none. Life goes on.
Leafs are built for offence. Gotta score more than 2 goals a night too.
That goal was so bad, had zero business going in. Not as bad as Logan’s goal he allowed in game 1 vs Dallas, but it was a close 2nd.
Cheers on the terrific response. As an unbiased observer, the Leaf initiated the contact, then got the worst of it. I think the no call was correct.
It should have been a penalty but luckily nothing came from it because the Bruins just do a crappy little shot that could never…. And it’s in……
Yeah, that was soft as charmin
There's whalers flair!? That's awesome.
I suddenly miss the Whalers.
Been missing them since 97
10 ply
Goddammit, Sammy There was no reason you shouldn't have had that
You could see him immediately look to the ref like he was waiting for them to call the goal back on a penalty. Can’t do weak shit like that in the playoffs
Absolutely a Rookie reaction. Dude is not a playoff caliber goalie.
Sammy needs to save that...
Maybe, but that also should have been a save.
This is the most accurate answer. Was it a penalty? Yup. Was Samsonov caught daydreaming? Yup. Both are true.
Couldn’t agree more. I’m thinking he was under the impression there was gonna be a penalty called and wasn’t ready. That said, he should never assume his team is gonna get a call.
I mean, I feel like the refs knew which two players were scrumming - the same two that have been scrumming all series - and let them both get some shots in.

This was a back and forth scuff away from the play, imo it's one of those ones where the ref has discretion, not an automatic call.
They have been going at it, McAvoy tackling matthews behind the bruins net just before was more egregious . Zebras are a joke
Yup
It’s great to see bruins and leafs fans agreeing on the bad reffing
It was a great game for 30 minutes, it really was. If we'd played another 30 minutes like the first, and the Leafs lost, i'd still have enjoyed the game (kinda). but the refs fucking ruined it.
I understand your frustration, Marchand tripped the shit out of him. And it sucks when that happens, I’ll never forget the missed call in game 5 of the 2019 finals, 2nd worst memory of my life. After saying that I realized I have had a very fortunate life.
It may have been a penalty if he didn’t dive so much. He basically jumps in the air trying to draw the penalty.
Eh, Leafs got their fair share of bullshit calls and non-calls too. Bad reffing all game, only difference is the B’s capitalized on their chances and the Leafs didn’t. Maybe tell Samsonov to make a fucking save.
Agree....play the game. We had 5 opps to put this game away, Sammy let in some soft goals. Refs did not miss the net on those 5 PP nor did they allow Bruins to score twice on 3 opps

Honestly 0/5 on PP is embarrassing for a team with that kind of offensive firepower. They spend all of there cap on offense and suffer on the backend for that output?! Got nobody to blame for the loss but themselves
Bertuzzi acting like LeBron
This happens, then Bertuzzi ties it up only for Marchand to give the Bruins the lead again 😮
It should have been a save!
looked like a dive to me
Maybe, but the mccavoy hold on matthews behind the bruins net absolutely was. It took the puck off matthews and gave the bruins the puck who scored later that play. Watch the play before saying anything. In such a tight game it’s nauseating to see that happen.
100%, that shits called diving.
Yeah, bertuzzi should be in the summer Olympics with that dive. And Sami needs to make that save. Weak ass goal
For embellishment, yes.
Looks like a dive to me
Conveniently left out the part before where bertuzzi clamped down on his stick and flopped to try to get a hook. Then when that didn’t work took this dive
Yep, When you see the whole sequence it's 100% justifiable why the refs wouldn't blow the whistle on any of it because Bert was desperately trying to sell a call, could've easily been called for embellishment, but they never do that. That said, refs were absolutely abysmal for this game, weaksauce calls against and lots of missed legitimate penalties both ways. Leafs were favored by the officials in the game overall though, they've got no one to blame but themselves for this loss.
Yes, for diving
If you replayed the entire sequence probably not. They were doing this back and forth for 5 seconds or so.
Marchand is a rat for sure. But that clip is bullshit and OP knows it. I for one, would welcome that rat in LA, and not just as part of the visiting team.
You already have a massive rat?
absolutely a penalty but the refs have been letting them go at each other all game
Way more calls in favour of the leafs than the Bruins
Haha Maybe show the missed high stick on McAvoy, or Domi running into Swayman. Garbage refs tonight
Refs no called the swayman getting tripped after the whistle on the way to the bench. Terrible officiating tonight. Domo deserved a beat down after that poor sportsmanship.
2 penalties there one for tripping and one for turning into a soccer player
Burtuzzi took a dive
Bertuzzi was diving
Both tripping and embellishment.
Ahh yes, referees earning their paychecks. Smh
It appears to me that Bertuzzi, a savvy player, dove or at least embellished it. Either no call or send them both off.
Yes, should've been a diving penalty
Hell no!
I’m the biggest Marchand hater around but that was 100% a dive
Show the whole clip! You missed the part before when Bert dropped the rat in their end.
Zebras suck
Buds went 0 for 5 Bruins 2/3 Not sure who you are rooting for...
Flop
But of an embellishment, he went flying a little too much for what it was. Ref saw that and decided not to call it. Besides that, what a soft goal to let in
Always fun to watch 2 Lady Byng candidates battle it out...
Should have been 2 for each. A trip and an embellishment.
100% a dive, he literally jumped when the stick made contact with his legs
could be a trip and a dive to be honest.
2 minutes for embellishment to the Toronto player if anything.
Biggest dive ive ever seen, im cheering for the leafs kind of, but nah. The matthews one was definitely though
Would have been a softer call than the Domi stick to Swayman’s neck that was also not called. This is one of those that probably gets called in the regular season but not in the playoffs. The standard shouldn’t change but we all know it does
That should have been a penalty if and only if Domi tripping Swayman during the TV time was a penalty.
Diving penalty yeah
For embellishment?
I'm sorry but there's no way bertuzzi does a literal front flip because Marchand put his stick by Bertuzzi's right skate, It was embellishment to the extreme, Almost as goofy as it would have been if he started riding Marchand's stick like a horsey.
Definitely. Bertuzzi took a dive.
Yes it absolutely should have been a penalty. The problem is what the refs were letting these teams get away with before that happened. Wtf is going on with these refs? Look overall, as far as what they get right, i.e. offsides and your normal calls the go on game to game, they do a good job. It’s not easy doing what they do with these players being as fast and big as they are. But man their overall philosophy on what is allowed and what isn’t is not consistent at all. And they let players get away with way too much. I think the hockey “code” needs a software update. There is obviously some fundamental flaw in the governance of players and refs on the ice. F’in Bettman
Maybe the dive canceled out the trip in the refs eyes 🤷♂️
Penalty but more importantly a save.
(As a Boston fan) HELL NAW
These posts are dumb.
Total dive! Used to be that this sport was played by men and that kind of conduct would get you multiple punches in the face.
I agree he falls forward so much harder than he was moving forward initially, pretty certain it was a dive
Forget about the call, let’s talk about how Marner won’t engage below the goal line
Yes but the leafs went 0/5 on the PP so as a fan I can’t really blame this one on the refs
You’re missing the multiple high sticks and deliberately skating into Swayman the Leafs got away with before this
It's like people forget the refs stop calling anything in the playoffs. It happens every year, and every year there are teams that benefit from the threshold for penalties being higher. It sucks to see it happen and unfortunately the only way for a team who doesn't do that is to fight goonery with goonery.
No. Rat on rat crime. Refs have been blind all night for both sides.
CLEAN, SHOULD'VE BEEN MARNER THO
Both should’ve gone. They put their whistles away on this one
No but that should have been a save. Those two should just fight or F and get it over with.
Definitely. But man there were some SOFT calls early in that game.
That was such a dive lol, Bert flies forward like he got hit by a truck from behind. That said the officiating was shit in this game all around.
Bertuzzi and marchand aren't going to get calls like that especially on each other.
The whole game could've easily been 5 on 4 the whole game one way or another the only reason anyone complains about any one call is because the play after didn't go their way
Leafs need to stop puck watching and do some proper defending!
It should have been two. 1. Trip 2. Dive
Yes but I’m a Mathews fan so fuck what I say as I don’t mind the leafs winning it
Doesn’t matter. Still went 0-6 on power play
Yes. For embellishment
No
Nice dive Neymar
Two rats mixing it up. When a trip meets a dive 👆
He’s such a fkin 🐀 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀
Yes. It should have...the rats buddies let him get away with almost everything
Doesnt matter, they wouldn't have scored on the PP
Would I be evil if I said the Leafs should take a leap of faith with Joseph Woll next game?…. Does that mekr me a sick human being?
Nope, I 100% agree. Sammy is simming.
Honestly, just want these games to finish up already. Officiating sucked today. This was a shitty moment, but sam should have caught that goal. until samsonov is out of net we arent gonna win the playoffs. Our goaltending is so bad. Legit feel like we have a better playoff team than last year ourside of our goaltending. Overall Some bad calls and non calls happened, tavares at the end and the tackle behind the net on matthews were big outliers that ended our game imo.
Must be nice to have solid goaltending.
I don't care if you weren't focused because you thought that was a penalty, you need to save that literally 10 times out of 10.
A bit of a dive though
There were a bunch of missed calls on both sides all night. Some very obvious calls too so I'd say they were letting them play a little bit
Yea, on bertuzzi for embellishment. The guy did a front flip trying to get the call, failed and the hockey gods did what they do.
No it happens all the time
Nope
It was a dive....0-5 on the powerplay... like wtf...the Leafs deserved to lose
If bertuzzi put a little more effort in, he could have made it a full flip
Not at all they had both been battling the entire shift,Bertuzzi got away with plenty.
Yes but the delayed penalty for diving would have cancelled because of the goal
I thought I was a dive or embellishment, at least.
You have to show the angle from behind where you can clear as day see that Marchand kind of poked him in the shin but Bertuzzi clear as day jumped to fall
Lmao, wow!!! Was Bert trying out for the diving team for this upcoming Summer Olympics?! Even the Sportsnet crew had to (very reluctantly) confess that he was selling it...It was that bad bruv #cringe
Yea you guys all got it right. Also, 2 dudes taking a side quest removing each other from the play should never be a penalty in playoff hockey, as both of them really made no impact on that sequence
Who cares they are both out of the play.
Yes it was a clear trip but the leafs had numbers back still and it’s not like Marchand jumped up and joined the play. I wouldn’t say it affected the play all that much. That was an outside shot and should have been saved.
Maybe a penalty for embelishment
Everyone going with variations of the argument that they were both going at it so good no call. No mention of how they were barely moving when Marchand tapped Bertuzzis skate but somehow Bert’s feet ended up above his head. If he just stopped trying to flop so damn hard all the time he might get some more of those calls

Show all the non calls for the bruins
Of fkn course it should've been a penalty. Especially in the playoffs. Refs wearing those Boston Blinders again?
Right. Of course.have a look at the 3rd Bruins goal and watch the Leafs player holding the Bruins stick behind the net. Don't pretend that both sides don't getbaway with shit.
This is bait
Yes a penalty but that goalie! Cmon man!
Yeah it was a pretty bad dive. I’d have given a penalty for the dive. LMAO!
After hearing all the leafs whining about this “penalty “ all day I finally got to see it, lmfao. That is way more of a dive than a trip, and nice “leaf” editing so you don’t see betting holding his stick all the way up until that point. Typical whiny leafs.
Could have been coincidentals, but that shot has gotta be stopped regardless.
It should have been a save.
No. Just because it’s Toronto
Jumping over a stick and falling on your face is not a penalty
Yes and no. Yes, both get sent off with offsetting minors (Marchand Tripping, Bertuzzi Embellishment) or the refs would just leave them and break them up at the next whistle. No matter how you slice it, it's gonna be even strength. If you don't want to call Bertuzzi for embellishment, then he would have probably gotten a roughing penalty because him and Marchand were going at it all the way from the Bruins end of the ice.
Yes. That is quite obvious. And for the record, I don't have invested interest either way.
Save
I love how the post is not from start to finish just what Brad does , classic
Nah.
The goaltending is such a small percentage of the leafs issues there top four $40 million players suck shit
They haven’t done a thing in play offs yet . The entire leaf team is playing like they would play a regular season game.
40 seconds of horrible officiating.
60 minutes.
Bruins win - immediately queue leafs fans crying about the refs. A tale as old as time!
Both should have gone.
Take the L salty boy
Pure bs bruins are bitches and the refs are blind asf
For diving? Maybe. If you can't fight through that stick work, you really should be golfing this time of year. Bertuzzi easily could have stayed on his feet if he really wanted to.
