Horrific Officiating Ruins Great Game

[kickserv]

I hate it when horrific officiating ruins a great game.........the Leafs/Sens game falls into this category........

yes I lost my bet on the Leafs.....but Ottawa had this game handed to em on a silver platter..........3 full 2 minutes 5 on threes before the game is half over.........


that is the worst officiated game I've seen this year.....completely ruined the game...these two young refs won't be doing any playoff games.....and maybe then you'll be allowed to actually hit an Ottawa Senetor....because if the Leafs aren't allowed to hit the Sens...the Sens will smoke em every time.....good thing playoff hockey isn't like this.......


Thanks refs for ruining what should have been a great game

I mean it looked like there was a dam fix in the game.......there's a scrum in the first period......and Leafs go down two men.........what a joke


and FWIW........I now hate Ottawa more then then I hate Bob Saget


should be one hell of a playoff series if these two teams meet......wow do they ever hate eachother.....just wish this game wasn't given to the Sens........would have been great to see a great game....no matter who won.....the whole 3rd period wasn't even worth playing once the 4th 5-3 was called...........

another bitter leaf fan ...btw i am joking

i hate to say this but i agree with u...i hate the leafs so i am glad that they lost(plus i won my bet) but IMO leafs did take lots of dumb penatly's

 

[kickserv]

yes they weren't exactly in "control of their emotions".........but the game was a joke when it came to officiating.........

I admit I love the Leafs.....but even an Ottawa fan has to say they got this game handed to em

Note: talking about first two periods...........the third period was useless considering all those 5 on 3's.......just an absolute joke

ks - I agree with you on some points but you really make it sound like the Leafs did not deserve one penalty, come on. I would say 2 of the 5 on 3's should have been a 5 on 4. But the first 5 on 3 was undisciplined plays, Corson rakes the stick over Alfie's face and Antropov punches Rachunek in the face after the play for no reason. So they deserved both penalties.
The last 5 on 3 was due to Tucker taking a page out of the movie Slapshot, jumping into the Sens bench.....really. He will be suspended no doubt. Green was just as bad as well.
The funny thing is it just goes to show you what Roberts, Sundin and Mogilny think of these yahoos, they wanted no part of it and stated aftert the game tonight how it hurt them big time. The crap that went on is not part of the game, it goes to show you that Tucker, Corson and Green have this dressing divided in some ways. I spoke with several Toronto reporters after the game tonight and I was told this from your own media. Last year Tucker and Corson brought their own trainer on the road trips and were too good to use their own team trainers during the playoffs. The sooner they get rid of these two the sooner the Leafs play as a team more.
The league should be held accountable for drawing two young refs to this game but the some of the Leafs thought they could get away with what they want.
Roberts said after the game tonight that Domi broke the code tonight going after a skilled player with a minute and half to go that was defenseless, looks like this needs to be nipped fast as the Leafs leaders are fed up with the antics that went on tonight. Both teams got away with crap but the more pertinent stuff was called and that is why they were shorthanded the way they were.
Give the Sens credit for playing with the agression and edge that they did not show before, this team will play you with skill or mix it up. Just wait until Chara comes back and they acquire May or Laperierre from LA. Regardless, the Leafs need to get their own house in order or it will be a first round exit like the Flyers last year when the dressing was divided about who should be in nets, Boucher or Cechmanek. Take care pal.

doooooooooooooooode, i watched the game, and yes, it made me sick too....and YES, the leafs DID take some dumb penalties....


no worries....

LEAFZ won't even have to deal with Ottawa in the next round of the playoffs...cause the Senz'll be OUT!!!!

 

[TIME TO MAKE $$$]

sens will be out 1st round AGAIN!

 

[ND2002HORNS]

How, why, to who....come on. I thought you guys knew your hockey. Come on, TTM and TV, you guys have more hockey smarts than that. First round exit, never. Last year I know 2nd round exit in 7 games, but come on. B's or NYR or NYI would not last longer than 5 games against the Sens. It is called disciplined play, better goaltending, more skill and more grit than ever.

good points horns.........

but don't talk about Alfredson....that guy is one of the cheapest players in the NHL.......I respect guys that drop their gloves....not guys that hide behind a shield and use their stick as an axe.....in my opinion I think Domi got a little confused......I think he wanted Alfredsson.........

and by the way......with respect to Tucker........Quinn said Neil spit at him.......that's why he charged the bench......but at least Tucker actually fights the odd time........although the points ya make about Tucker are valid.........

but it's about time somebody steps up and tells it like it is......Ottawa has too many guys that skate around the ice with their sticks up and their elbows high...........yes Toronto lost their composure........but I''l take emotion over nop emotion any day........

the Leafs are a playoff team (Sundin and Roberts will get the team back on track) and the sens are soft....cheap and soft.....

I said it before........Ottawa is not a Stanley cup team.........ya pound em ya beat em......

and finally............could have been such a better (and different) game if the refs did a better job............the refs took this game away from the fans.........and that's the saddest thing about tonights game

 

[kickserv]

and remember......this team went all the way to the final 4 last year........and half their team wasn't there...........that's grit.....far from the Flyers..........sheeeeeeesh the Flyers.......come on....the dressing room isn't even close to the Flyers


Alfredsson.........keep your head up buddy :nutkick

 

[ND2002HORNS]

ks - Many good points, you know your hockey, but still the Sens have toughened up considerably and the theory of pound them and beat them was valid the last 2 or 3 years but not this year. I spoke with Alyn before the game today and he said the way the Sens are playing now goes to show you how they have learned alot from their past exp.
The one thing he did say was after McCabe, Kaberle and Svehla that they are in trouble on D. He said the hell with another forward, get them a D. Berg, Belak and Lumme are terrible. He said they would take the Sens 5th or 6th D anytime so it could give them 4 or 5 solid D. He said the Sens depth is incredible.
The refs have ruined many games this year, I remember the Sens being shorthanded for 12 of 20 min. in the second period this year to Van. Completely ruined the game.
I will say this, I have never seen the Leafs leaders so pissed with Domi, Green, Tucker and Corson. That is why Corson was a healthy scratch for a few games, this guy gets Tucker being stupid. When I was in the scrum tonight it was something I had not seen before with this team, their leaders want this crap straightened out now.
Svehla had a nice cross check to the face of White and gave him a concussion. So we could go back and forth about what each team did that was illegal. Take care bud.

ks- You would be very surprised about the Leafs dressing room, wish you could have been there tonight down in the dressing room.

[kickserv]

Leafs need another Defencemen........boy do you got that right


and don't worry about Domi..........everyone on that team respects Domi.....he's been around forever........nothing to worry about there

and as for Alfredson...do me a favour........ask him who in the league is dirtier then him......I can think of three.....see how many he comes up with............did ya see that reply at the end of the game......he would have decapitated Domi with his stick if he got a clear swing........I just hate guys that use their stick like he does........he so dam chippy it sickens me........the guy needs to get rocked

and Note to Leaf fans............will Antropov ever get through a game and not take a dumb penalty :shrug:

and gee ya think we might want Dempsy.....motherfu**er

and Quinn put Healy in the dam line-up...........fu**

 

[kickserv]

wish I was in the dressing room...........would love to have a chat with Antropov

 

[ND2002HORNS]

ks - I totally agree with you on Dempsey and Healy, unreal. Quinn should have swallowed his pride and put his team first instead of his ego with Dempsey. As for Alfie, all I will say is that he is the type of player any team would want, there is so much that this guy does for this team on and off ice that he truly is an incredible person so I won't slag him. You should see the time he puts into off ice stuff, truly a great person.
Antropov might get suspended, I missed it but a Toronto reporter said he shoved an official after a scrum. He looks so dopey sometimes. Super hockey conversation. Take care.

HORNS

 

[kickserv]

yep...........great conversation

and you can say the same for Domi..........he does lots of great stuff off the ice (charity, etc).


ok.........now all i need is to get that parlay and I'll be happy

 

[ND2002HORNS]

Got my fingers crossed for ya. Pro-Line is so hard to hit these days.

HORNS

 

[kickserv]

Pro Line is so hard to hit every day

 

[ND2002HORNS]

Agreed!!!!
Hoping for a big College Hoops night tomorrow!!!

HORNS

 

[kickserv]

I hope for that every night

1-0 Ducks......ok stop scoring

 

[ND2002HORNS]

As long as nobody scores with 0.1 seconds left, I will never forget that. I am pulling for ya! Damn government sets the worst odds for us gamblers. GL
