    We know, for a fact, that the NHL does not call penalties based on what infractions have occurred on the ice.

    Let me counter:

    The Panthers led the league in penalties this year – 10:24 per game.

    The Leafs were 18th in the league – 7:58 per game.

    So doing very simple math here, the Panthers should be getting one and a quarter more penalties called on them a game than the Leafs.

    It’s even worse in the playoffs: Panthers averaging 13:08 per game, Leafs 8:30 per game.

    So we’re playing virtually the same as the regular season, and they’ve become a little dirtier (and that’s assuming the reffing is the same – which we all know is not true). – Wedgie

    Nice idea, and it makes perfect sense which is why it will never happen.

    Florida will get PP’s until they get at least a 2 goal lead.
    Leafs will get a couple cheapies at the end, when the game is out of reach, to make it sort of look like it was called fairly.

    Then again, Leafs aren’t the only team that gets, or has been, screwed over. That non-call on Edmonton last night was horrendous.

    So whenever I play Puckdoku, I always try to use guys who played for the Maple Leafs.

    Today, I was absolutely killing it. 8/8, 7 of them Maple Leafs, with a 9.2 uniqueness score.

    And then I blew it. All I had to do was fill in 10+ playoff games played career, 250+ assists career.

    Sticking with my desire for Leafs, I filled in Wendel.

    234 career regular season assists.

    Damn.

    Tried your rules. Managed to get a 2 uniqueness but I took 2 relatively educated guesses that could’ve gone either way.

    Captain – 250+ Assists – <5 Playoff Goals
    10+GP: Vaive – Williams – Benoit
    Defenseman: Ramage – Ellet – McGill
    Cup Winner: Armstrong – McDonald – Lefebvre

    I sort of assumed – but had no idea – how many career assists Tiger had but it seemed he played long enough and well enough to get there. He had 272.
    I also felt that Lefebvre never scored and I knew he won a cup with Colorado after the Clark trade – that was close. He actually had 4 playoff goals.

    Matthews, Sundin, Robidas
    Hedman, Kubina, Benoit
    X, Andreychuk, X

    I went with:

    Phaneuf 0.7% X 100 Cujo 0.4%
    Leetch 2% Salming 1% Benoit 4%
    Armstrong 1% Gilmour 0.3% Cam Ward 1% (not sure why I didn’t go with Jacques Plante instead of Ward).

    My gut going into this one is that the way the officiating went for the second half of the last game is what we’re going to see tonight. I don’t think the Leafs should expect a powerplay. Power Play opportunities so far have been 5-3 and 3-2 in Toronto’s favour over two games and the Leafs have a 2-0 series lead. I sincerely can’t imagine a world where the NHL doesn’t give Florida a huge man advantage bonus tonight to get them back in the series – look at some of the egregious infractions solely against Holmberg last game that went uncalled.

    Vintage Bryan McCabe there.

    Horrible reffing.

    That said, Edmonton is looking good.

    I’m still wondering how the Oilers didn’t get a penalty in OT on that can opener trip? lol

    It was pretty obvious and the ref was looking right at it.

    Tough pill to swallow for Vegas to swallow especially after killing off a 5 minute major but apparently wildly inconsistent officiating is a new playoff tradition in the NHL now.
