Marchand cross checks Leafs player from behind while leaving his feet. No call on the play.

  1. I wouldn’t even compare him to a rat, because thats a dishonor to a more intelligent creature

  2. Worth a minor penalty. But not much of a crosscheck. Altho I’ve seen less get called.

  3. I’m biased here. Panthers fan. But I don’t see a cross check here. It was a hit from behind on a guy with the puck away from the boards. He doesn’t extend his arms out with the stick? He just bodies him

  4. The amount of leafs dudes waiting to clip playoff hockey not going their way is wild

  5. shots on goal also seem way off…..

    edit: yea definitely something fucky going on. Panthers had 30 on the counter at about 3 minutes remaining in the second, finished with 29…..

  6. Leafs fans whinning about non calls. Fuck it cheering Florida now so the bitching can stop

  7. This is him going fast and bracing himself for potential collision. Y’all are nuts

  8. Refs just called two penalties in a row on Florida.

    Can we stop with the 

    BUt Its a cOnsPIraCy stuff now.

  9. This is debatable until put next to the Knies penalty. Call shit consistently, stripes

  10. It’s not really a crosscheck. It looks bad live at full speed but go back and watch the replay again it’s a pretty clean hit.

    As others have said this is the playoffs. Not for the faint of heart. There’s been way worse shit happening in these games that hasn’t been called

  11. And a few minutes later the McMann on the Leafs get called for a hit from behind.

  12. Bettman is trying to get rid of the Canadian teams. 3 made it through and in his eyes that’s 3 too many

  13. I’ve been looking for some good nhl playoff hockey but all I find is spectacular amateur diving.

  14. That’s a nothing play in my books. Basically just a hard check with some shoving.

    You could definitely argue that it’s against the spirit of some rules in the the same vein as checking from behind or blindside hitting, but it’s the playoffs, and it separated the man from the puck, and everyone got up and was ok.

    Florida is doing enough blatantly dangerous and dirty shit that we don’t have to bitch about every little borderline play.

  15. I mean, he has to get those little paws off the ground to get enough impact for a big boy hit. 

  16. I was shocked that it wasn’t called considering what was called right after that.

  17. Nah, that Leafs player hit the brakes and hip checked Honey Badger. Think he speared him with the butt of the stick too. Cats shoulda got a 2min PP on that.
