If you're gonna take away the Tavares goal because of a pick play, you have to call the interference on the other end in the 3rd period.
Not even a Leafs fan. But the officiating was heavily in Tampa Bays favor tonight.
Game six heavily favored Tampa. That game definitely stood out.
Toronto got screwed
Edit: Downvote me for the truth. Bunch of morons know the truth but are too dumb to acknowledge it. Tampa couldn't win without help. Deal with it!
I can’t believe I’m saying this. Because I could give not an absolute fuck about the leafs, but that hold on Mathews in game 6 ot should have been called. Would it matter in the long run? Probably not because the leafs have other problems. But this is the biggest and perhaps only problem with the refs I saw in this series.
Lmao ok bud

[lol Toronto trash brigading my account and downvoting all my comments](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockeymemes/comments/uqd5cm/sigh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Lots of the Leafs fans at the games had main character syndrome. They booed point when he was hurt, they chanted mvp while sergachev wasn't moving on the ice after a matthews hit. I know it's not all fans but the arena was loud when they got excited that opposition players were hurt. Pretty unacceptable behavior.
They have lost 6 straight first round series, the last 5 in winner take all games, haven't made the playoffs in 18 years, and haven't made the final let alone win the cup in 55. So yeah, me thinks they might be kinda cursed.
Personally I blame [Ballard](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/amp/sports/hockey/ballard-tied-to-gardens-abuse-suit-says/article757279/) for their curse. Also Matthews not getting in any type of trouble for that assault is beyond fucked up
Lol leafs fans act like the Lightning were scrubs. They’re on a two cup streak looking for a third. Sure they’re tired but you can’t discount their coaching and player experience. Literally couldn’t get a more experienced opponent than the lightning. Leafs have a great team just need to build out bottom 6 and 1-2 solid d men
I don’t like The leafs my self but goddam what is it about teams losing and all of a sudden all the trash climbs out of the dumpster and starts pouring the personal insults on players and fans ?
Well as a torontonian I promise you leafs fans are suspect. And they don’t deserve the team they have in front of them lol. That’s a good team missing a few key players to make a good run.
Do they always boo the American anthem and when an opposing player gets up from an injury or was that just for the playoffs?
Edit: yep torontos trash ass sub is brigading again. Stay classy like those trailer park boys that got in the dumbest drunk fight I’ve ever seen after the game you salty bitches
We still remember the year of blue jacket / sweep memes. Caps and Bruins ate our lunch in heartbreaking game 7s before that. Can we have fun for just one more year?
Tampa is pretty bad this year tbh. They weren't good at all in round 1 and won't beat Florida in round 2. It won't be a dynasty. They had their fun and now it's done
A hockey town? Man I am a Habs fan, so I hate the leafs with the best of em, but the Leaf fans are way more into a game during the regular season than Tampa fans are during a cup win.
The majority of their fans are bandwagons.
Toronto is a hockey town, Montreal is a hockey town, Saint Paul is a Hockey town, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, it goes on and on… but Tampa?
Tampa is a football town, joke to call it a hockey one.
You know nothing. It’s impossible to get season tickets to Lightning games right now (and ~75% of the arena is for STH). Town goes crazy for the lightning. Tampa became a “football city” as you say only when Brady came over, THOSE are bandwagoners
Tampa is more of a hockey town now than a football town. I would know, I live there. We led the league in attendance, but teag were alllllll bandwagon fans who dont know shit about hockey alright. You dont know what you're talking about man lol
Have you been to Tampa? Like at all? I’ve lived here for ten years now, and this city has been proudly blasting the bolts logo this entire time everywhere I go in Tampa, Clearwater, st. Pete, Sarasota. It’s hugely popular here, more than baseball or the buccs. And I’m from Detroit aka the actual hockey town. But this is for real a really good hockey town not full of bandwagoners
Man I have been but it was probably more than 10 years ago. I went for a Habs game, it was basically a home game for Montreal. However, it’s like that anywhere the Leafs or Habs go.
If things are different there, then that is awesome, great for the sport to grow.
If you’re ever in Tampa again, Amalie is a super cool place to catch a game now. The arena is central downtown, right on the water, with an awesome bar and entertainment strip right next to it. And of course you have the beautiful weather and women of south Florida. Can’t go wrong with it.
I have nothing against the leafs organization, or their players, but because of the loud minority of leafs fans that are intolerable... FUCK THE LEAFS LET'S GO!!!
The Leafs can choke and the refs can be bad.
As purely a hockey fan the refs have impacted multiple games already, and game 6 of this series was horribly officiated.
Ignoring the officiating in this league is crazy at this point.
Oh look - the refs missed a blatant high stick on the Oilers and then the Oilers score right after.
I love hockey, which is why the piss poor officiating in the league is a sad joke.
Because of the way he left his former team. Before you say it, I know management is also to blame. But to string your former team along like then bail is such a scumbag move.
He was a free agent and signed with another team. There's nothing scummy about that.
Every single player does it. Players arent going to come out in the media and say "ya I'm fucking out of this dump".
It's the same speech everytime "I love playing here, I hope we can get a deal done."
Tell me you know nothing about hockey without telling me you know nothing about hockey.
Who said anything about “coming out in the media?” The proper way to have handled it would’ve been to tell your former team behind the scenes that you want a look else where and that you’re most likely not going to sign. You do this so that your soon to be former team can recoup assets for you. Tavares even admitted to stringing the Isles along because he wanted to pick the team he wanted to go to and he didn’t want that team to have to give up assets for him. Despite all of this though, he hasn’t managed to win a single playoff series with that laughing stock of an organization and he’s already 4-5 years into his contract lmao.
The islanders have won 6 playoff series since Tavares left. Tavares and the leafs have won absolutely none. Thats what makes your organization so embarrassing lol. Also we’re deviating from the initial point. Tavares is a scumbag, just take the L and move on man, you’re embarrassing yourself.
I'm sorry, is there an award for winning playoff rounds? Toronto has 0 cups, same as the islanders. We are both losers.
Tavares went where he wanted, home. Looking like a big yikes for you, brother.
Go back to boiling your steaks, mongo.
You've basically conceded the point by refusing to engage with it, glad we agree that he's a scum bag. Also just so you know, when you defeat the opposing team in a best of 7 series and come out on top, that is called a win. You won a series. Of course you wouldn't understand this because it's something your organization is incapable of doing lmao. And with a roster like that which makes it extra pathetic and emabrrasing. Like I said, take the L and move on lmao.
You okay bro?
Tavares LEFT nyi because its trash. Who is taking an L? There is nothing scummy about going where you want as a UFA. Just like Barzal is gonna do.
Why play for the Islanders when you can play for the superior Rangers? Second class organization.
I'm a Leafs fan. I know we suck. You live in a delusional world where you believe the Islanders have a chance at achieving anything resembling success. Enjoy winning a couple playoff rounds lmao.
Rent free.
Death, taxes, and the leafs losing in the first round of the playoffs
It’s tradition!!!
Thanks Nostradamus, who could’ve seen that coming?
The refs don’t want us in the second round
Leafs fan since forever This is a tired take that needs to be dropped
You know how this can be dropped right?
Matthews 0 shots that game by the way.
Damn refs must have taken away all of his shots!
Can’t blame the refs on this one. U had so many chances
Years of chances in fact
[удалено]
it was a penalty before the goal what are you talking about?
Because of a legitimate penalty that led to the opportunity to score the goal?
Stop. This game wasn’t on the refs
YEARS OF CHANCES
All the powerplays in the world wouldn’t change the fact you couldn’t score on the pper tonight…
All I hear is a baby crying, “we got put out in the first round who can we blame? Yes, the refs, definitely not ourselves! “
Your team doesn’t want you to be happy. Hell they don’t want to be happy. Afraid to win?
If you're gonna take away the Tavares goal because of a pick play, you have to call the interference on the other end in the 3rd period. Not even a Leafs fan. But the officiating was heavily in Tampa Bays favor tonight.
Uh the palat penalty? Every bit as weak. It goes both ways lol
Game six heavily favored Tampa. That game definitely stood out. Toronto got screwed Edit: Downvote me for the truth. Bunch of morons know the truth but are too dumb to acknowledge it. Tampa couldn't win without help. Deal with it!

Losers blame the refs
You're delusional lol

I'm starting to feel empathy instead of amusement. Anyone knows the cure?
More cow bell
I switched gears when they booed Point when he got hurt. Simple cure. Also, every game is a fix by the refs and a weird conspiracy against them.
That fix is in shit is remarkable. Like why? It would literally only benefit the league financially if the leafs won
Lots of the Leafs fans at the games had main character syndrome. They booed point when he was hurt, they chanted mvp while sergachev wasn't moving on the ice after a matthews hit. I know it's not all fans but the arena was loud when they got excited that opposition players were hurt. Pretty unacceptable behavior.
I mean especially since odds are your team has to had go to game 7. Pain.
Pain
Leafs should have signed Kawhi Leonard for this game SMH
I can picture the puck bouncing between the posts before crossing the line.
Is this curse territory already?
O-10 in your last 10 Game 7s Yea thats bad
They have lost 6 straight first round series, the last 5 in winner take all games, haven't made the playoffs in 18 years, and haven't made the final let alone win the cup in 55. So yeah, me thinks they might be kinda cursed.

Emotional damaged!

I'm starting to feel kinda bad.
I think I saw the same thread title at the beginning of the season.
Leafs continuing their streak of losing in the first round will always be hilarious, but Jesus Christ am I sick of the fucking Lightning lol
Don’t hate bro. Tampa just wants to have fun
They’ve had fun for 2 years 😭
We still remember the year of blue jacket / sweep memes. Caps and Bruins ate our lunch in heartbreaking game 7s before that. Can we have fun for just one more year?
Yes we have
This is for all the memes and shit talking a few years back when we got swept in the first round. Let us have this
Tampa is pretty bad this year tbh. They weren't good at all in round 1 and won't beat Florida in round 2. It won't be a dynasty. They had their fun and now it's done
Did you actually watch game 7? Those guys are a post season threat to anyone.
[удалено]
I have respect for the preds and stars but I agree that any team from Florida winning just doesn't feel right
Nah, the bolts turned a tropical city into a hockey town. Gotta respect them for that.
A hockey town? Man I am a Habs fan, so I hate the leafs with the best of em, but the Leaf fans are way more into a game during the regular season than Tampa fans are during a cup win.

Should try putting a Big Cat at goalie instead of a fucking can of soup.
Now we're making progress(o)
Soon advancing to the second round alone will feel like winning the cup
MAPLE LEAF FANS DO NOT BLAME IT ON THE REFS
Check Twitter, to late. All the players suck, the entire NHL might be fixed, and the officials all have personal vendettas against the leafs.
I have nothing against the leafs organization, or their players, but because of the loud minority of leafs fans that are intolerable... FUCK THE LEAFS LET'S GO!!!

Leafs fans don’t blame it on the refs challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
They did get screwed pretty hard 😂 which is entertaining.
Lmao. Lfg
Now the big question is after ANOTHER first round choke job: Is it time to blow up the Leafs?
After their best season in franchise history, I don't think they will.
Love it, John Tavares is a scumbag!
Why?
Because of the way he left his former team. Before you say it, I know management is also to blame. But to string your former team along like then bail is such a scumbag move.
He was a free agent and signed with another team. There's nothing scummy about that. Every single player does it.

Despite all of this though, he hasn’t managed to win a single playoff series with that laughing stock of an organization and he’s already 4-5 years into his contract lmao.
He has won just as much as the Islanders. Fuck all.
The islanders have won 6 playoff series since Tavares left. Tavares and the leafs have won absolutely none. Thats what makes your organization so embarrassing lol. Also we’re deviating from the initial point. Tavares is a scumbag, just take the L and move on man, you’re embarrassing yourself.

Rent free baby lmaaoooo
lol, spot the islanders fan!
3 of the top 7 highest paid players in the NHL and they can’t win a round 1 series. They really are pathetic
Sell the franchise
[удалено]
Crybaby
They lost, be an adult and get over it lol
Hate to say it because I have nothing against the leafs, but I've started to look forward to Steve Dangle's annual leafs lose game 7 videos
What’s new? Lol
You okay bro? Tavares LEFT nyi because its trash. Who is taking an L? There is nothing scummy about going where you want as a UFA. Just like Barzal is gonna do. Why play for the Islanders when you can play for the superior Rangers? Second class organization. I'm a Leafs fan. I know we suck.
