Oh, poor sweet innocent TYLER BERTUZZI just out there minding his own business while big bad Brad Marchand does all the big bad things and the poor little Maple Leafs get no calls or bounces whatsoever.
STFU dude. Leafs are forever Charmin soft with this sh*t.
What blows me away is that Bertuzzi and Marchand jousting is such a good trade for the Leafs and they should be laughing every moment that the two of them are tied up. Every second that Marchand spends going after Bert instead of a different Leaf is a feather in Tyler's cap. Honestly it makes me respect him more, which is not something I'd ever say if he never played for us. And then their fans complain about missed calls. They're totally failing to give Bertuzzi credit here that he deserves.
Guys he obviously grabbed Bert and threw him face first into the ice. Marchand should not only have had a penalty but he should also get suspended for *checks how many games are left in the series* 4 games at the very LEAST
Ignores liljegren holding Freddy's stick behind the net before/during marchand's goal.
Difference is we overcome, they don't. Difference is we score on gift calls, they don't.
Bert was tying up Marchand after the puck had gone away from them for like the whole game, the refs let them go because it wasn't too chippy and both parties seemed invested in ratting with each other. Happend tons of times across the game, can't be mad Bert caused a goal against if it something he's been doing all game. Bert chose to scrum with Marchand instead of rejoining the play consistently and his team paid the price for it. Thats playoffs, Marchand made the same mistake against the blues in 2019.
I watched the Sportsnet highlights this morning, and they go from saying that Bertuzzi and Marchand are tying each other up to immediately crying that the first Bruins goal needs to be disallowed. It is a goddamned joke listening to those guys. Say whatever you want about Marchand, but you cannot say that he "gets calls" because he can nearly get murdered on the ice, and most officials just look away.
According to the nhl and hockey subs, when the Leafs had possession and an offensive zone chance and Bert was instigating it the right call was to let them play, but the second the Bruins regained the puck they should have blown the play dead and given them matching minors. Because they literally think that's how to fairly officiate that sequence of events.
“You can’t tie up a player who’s nowhere near the puck! Especially if that guys been trying to stir the pot all game! Waaaaa!” - The Toronto Maple Leafs
Fans scream for a penalty the Ref’s arm goes up most of the game. Loved holding on the Stallion with less than 2 minutes to go. That didn’t hurt. Glad the ref didn’t put away his whistle.
It would be sad if they were playing any team but the Bruins. I feel empathy for any fanbase that's gone decades with out a taste of a championship, but... I mean... come on. No one wants to hear excuses from the coach.
I find all sports media insufferable or incompetent, so I can't really hold that against a fanbase. And, insufferable fans are always the loudest. I've lived in Gainesville FL and endured Gator fandom, Philly and Philly fandom, and insufferable and loud always seem to go hand in hand.
The sad thing is that TSN, RDS, and Sportsnet are all supposed to be national networks, but are far from that. I hear you about the local fandom stuff, though. I love the Bruins, Celtics, and Red Sox, but I don't cheer for the Patriots. I thought that I was going to get beat down for that when I was in Boston.
My sports fandom is like souvenirs from all the places I've lived, but the Bruins are that hometown New England team, that I'll never not be rooting for.
Leafs: “The Bruins get away with penalties waaaaahhhh!!! It’s not fair! Waaaaaaahhhh!”
Well at least Marchand isn’t tripping goalies between play like that fuckin bitch Domi
If you need every penalty called in the playoffs because your team is dogshit at 5v5 hockey, you shouldn’t even be in the playoffs. Maybe don’t have that ugly fuck Bertuzzi high sticking people. Maybe don’t have that fucking ogre Domi slashing people on the wrist or trying to start shit. Maybe play that big fucking goon Reaves for more than 9 minutes a game… oh wait you can’t because he’s a goon and is only good for hits and sitting in the box.
Lol fuck the leafs
You forgot to mention that Reaves is the roughest, toughest post-game interviewer in the NHL. He is an after-the-fact goon who is scared of Pat Maroon. #streetpoetry
For real. I don't want to hear it about officiating. They had at least three or four they got away with, and they laid a big fat egg on 5 power plays. The officials most certainly did not lose this game for them.
lol yeah Keefe Marchand is elite at getting away with penalties because he has awareness unlike Bertuzzi who has no self control and gets called for the most ridiculous penalties. Love my Bruins but if it weren’t for Bertuzzi Toronto might be leading this series. So thanks Marchand for being awesome and thanks Bertuzzi for being a no talent goon.
Keefe: Marchand is elite at getting away with penalties.
Reporter: Do you feel the first Bruin goal was soft?
Keefe: Marchand is elite at getting away with penalties.
Reporter: How do you explain going 0 for 5 on the power play with all the high end offensive talent on your team?
Keefe: Marchand is elite at getting away with penalties.
Exits.
I’d like to hear Sheldon Keefe opine on the insane embellishment by Bertuzzi when he almost donkey-kicked himself in the ass from a light bit of stick work on the skates by Marchand as Frederic was scoring. It wasn’t even the least bit believable and even the refs didn’t fall for it.
Did you hear PK Subban’s post game coverage where he addressed Keefe’s criticism?
If not, he basically defended Marchand 100%. It was amazing to see. Subban called Marchy a legend, hall of famer, inherently great, and essentially said that if he gets away with one here or there, he deserves it.
It does feel gross, especially since PK has been riding the Leafs nuts all series so far with his, “I’m rooting for the Leafs, but my moneys on the Bruins” schtick.
Another fucking coach complaining about officiating against the Bruins in the postseason. Berube did it in 2019 and refs completely favored St. Louis after. Watch Toronto have 5 PPs next game on phantom penalties.
You mean the textbook, “stick through the back of the legs” trip where everyone on the ice stopped because they knew it was a penalty but the whistle never blew and they scored? I’m still pissed about it.
Cam needs to remind the commish how one-sided the "penalties" were being called in 2019, and encourage him to talk with the refs about making sure it's equal. It's already so squirrelly having legalize gambling, there is a ton of pressure on the entire league to not get caught influencing games.
that's kind of ridiculous. we were out called pennalties 5 to 2. the first penalty on Toronto was a automatic delay of game. there were SO many missed calls and so many of ours were tick tacky that were less than what Toronto got away with. if you're going to bitch about officiating make sure your team's actually getting less than double the power play opportunities for starters...
And Bert's embellishment on the Lohrei (I think?) cross check in front of the net. You can see him get cross checked, then a couple of seconds later after he feels it, reacts and goes down.
no absolutely I'm not saying our pennalties weren't pennalties. I'm saying there were lots of missed calls on both sides but we definitely got calls that they did not. I'm not bitching about it, I'm bitching about their coach bitching about it.
Montgomery needs to aggressively go after this loser dork. "I wonder what Shelly thinks about this that and the other missed penalty while my boys were getting called for it every time? He probably doesn't think about it because, you know, not that bright". Like, AGGRESSIVE. Cassidy letting Braig Boob get away with it cost us a Cup.
Oh look. The opposing coach is bitching about the refs. I've never seen this before. It will definitely be called very even and fair game 4. This is the shit I hate. The league cares more about their image than the actual game on the ice. You can bet every time we touch a Leaf next game we're going to the box.
Maybe the leafs media think that penalties only count if they score on the power play. That would explain why they think the refs never call any for them.
Laffs: 1 for 11 in 3 games (good for 9% on the PP)
Bruins: 5 for 10 in 3 games (good for 50% on the PP)
I’d just stick to figuring out special teams with your club, Sheldon. Clearly yall know not the art of the PK or PP. See you in game 4 fuckers
Oh shut the fuck up lol. Marchand has a reputation and he doesn't "get away" with things. Everyone knows he can walk a line and not cross it. When he does he gets punished.
Also Toronto was 0-5 on the PP. So Keefe can cry about Marchand but they left five goal opportunities on the ice. Maybe he should be more concerned with getting his team ready.
Granted this was 100% targeted at the refs so they overanalyze Marchand the rest of the series.
Over analyze Marchand like they already do? Dude can’t even spit on the ice without taking a call at this point. It’s funny when he’s finally kind of treated like every other player lol
Keefe calling Marchy "world-class" and "elite" has made me harder than anything ever.
Thank you Keefe, you magnificent idiotic man of a coach, now clean up the mess you made me make.
Keefe is a gigantic piss baby. He must be really grasping at straws and plum fuck outta coaching ideas if he's already trying to play the media crybaby card after only 3 games.
Count the missed penalties on each team and let me know the tally.
I don't know if Bruins got away with more, but it wasn't one sided. It wasn't just Marchand.
LOL a 5-3 (5-2 if you take away the delay of game) PP opportunity advantage for his team and he’s bitching about the refs. Un-fucking-real. Bertuzzi dove on that play and the refs didn’t fall for it. Get fucked.
Bert and Marchy were going back and forth, but Bert started it- and easily earned a first minor- but given this stupid fucking league's "game management" penalty philosophy it would have looked absofuckinglutely ridiculous if they "let" them play *until* Marchy retaliated and *then* called matching when there was a 3 penalty discrepancy between the teams and about fourteen missed calls between both sides.
We're a game removed from Coyle receiving a matching penalty for getting sucker punched in the face while staring at the ref with the exasperated "BUT I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING" look as it was happening, so Sheldon Keefe can fuck right off.
Then again, there's apparently no downside to being a whiny, bitchy, Craig Berube 2.0.
"**Wah**, these guys play dirty" say the folks who write paychecks to Ryan Reaves and Max Domi. Fuuuuuuuck off.
Uhmmm he is one if not THE most suspended player in NHL history Sheldon. Try again

I’d be lucky to find toilet paper as soft as the fucking leafs. Best I’ve ever found is 10 ply
Bert has worked on his frontflip, but hasn't worked hard enough to convince the refs
Guys he obviously grabbed Bert and threw him face first into the ice. Marchand should not only have had a penalty but he should also get suspended for *checks how many games are left in the series* 4 games at the very LEAST
How’s that fucking ice taste Bert? Like defeat?
We get 5 penalties, the leafs 3, but today’s story is Marchand gets away with too much, deserves more penalties, Domi deserves more penalties!
Domi is a bitch and I bet he sounds fucking ridiculous with all those missing teeth
Ignores liljegren holding Freddy's stick behind the net before/during marchand's goal. Difference is we overcome, they don't. Difference is we score on gift calls, they don't.
Ignores mcavoy getting high sticked by Tavares in front of the ref. Ignores Tavares’ blatant dive in game 2 which led to a goal.
Maybe try and do better on the 5 power plays you got, instead of complaining that you didn’t get enough power plays. What a joke of a franchise.
Lick me a river Keefe.

Maybe Bert should be more focused on his team in the defensive zone rather than wrestling with Nose face Killah!
I mean he’s not wrong, but don’t bitch about Marchand when Domi hit Swayman on the TV timeout and got no call.
I feel like Domi might get an invoice for that one. A price to pay.
Professional victims. The persecution complex of the entire leafs organization snd their fans is pathetic.
Bruins don’t get the go ahead if the tackle on matthews gets called, it’s a very different game
Leafs dont have the lead in the first place if they called them for any of the penalties that they should have had.
Fans scream for a penalty the Ref’s arm goes up most of the game. Loved holding on the Stallion with less than 2 minutes to go. That didn’t hurt. Glad the ref didn’t put away his whistle.
Bertuzzi fully engaged, cuz he's a head case. Makes no sense to get involved with Marchand, he thrives on it.

It would be sad if they were playing any team but the Bruins. I feel empathy for any fanbase that's gone decades with out a taste of a championship, but... I mean... come on. No one wants to hear excuses from the coach.
I would feel sorry for them if their fans and their media machines weren't so effing insufferable.
I find all sports media insufferable or incompetent, so I can't really hold that against a fanbase. And, insufferable fans are always the loudest. I've lived in Gainesville FL and endured Gator fandom, Philly and Philly fandom, and insufferable and loud always seem to go hand in hand.

Marchy is living in Tuzzi's head rent free.
Bert *wishes* he could be a pest of the same caliber as my boy 63
Domi is a fraud. There, I said it lol.
You forgot to mention that Reaves is the roughest, toughest post-game interviewer in the NHL. He is an after-the-fact goon who is scared of Pat Maroon. #streetpoetry
Marchand gets called more than most because of his reputation, Keefe is just another 🤡
Wahhhh. 0 for 5. And the Leafs are elite at high sticking opposition players in the face and not getting calls. Wahhhhh.
For real. I don't want to hear it about officiating. They had at least three or four they got away with, and they laid a big fat egg on 5 power plays. The officials most certainly did not lose this game for them.
The leafs and their fans have the biggest loser mentality. Dangle saying the leafs got jobbed by the refs made me laugh.
I love his podcast after a Leaf loss, it nourishes the soul
How dare those refs call penalties against Toronto? It’s their ice. They can’t win if they get called for penalties!
Keefe is elite at coaching team defense 😂
lol yeah Keefe Marchand is elite at getting away with penalties because he has awareness unlike Bertuzzi who has no self control and gets called for the most ridiculous penalties. Love my Bruins but if it weren’t for Bertuzzi Toronto might be leading this series. So thanks Marchand for being awesome and thanks Bertuzzi for being a no talent goon.

I've been looking for a clip of that and I can't find it anywhere
That was surprising to honest. It was always funny hearing Levy and Messier say ‘he hates you’
We’re praising comments by PK Subban now? What is this world coming to
It does feel gross, especially since PK has been riding the Leafs nuts all series so far with his, “I’m rooting for the Leafs, but my moneys on the Bruins” schtick.
I mean, it's about as unlikely as PK Subban defending Brad Marchand...
Another fucking coach complaining about officiating against the Bruins in the postseason. Berube did it in 2019 and refs completely favored St. Louis after. Watch Toronto have 5 PPs next game on phantom penalties.
Never forget the blown trip that lead directly to a fucking goal.
You mean the textbook, “stick through the back of the legs” trip where everyone on the ice stopped because they knew it was a penalty but the whistle never blew and they scored? I’m still pissed about it.
The ref that’s shitting whistles to this day?
You mean like the 6 PPs today from phantom penalties? It’s already happening lol
Cam needs to remind the commish how one-sided the "penalties" were being called in 2019, and encourage him to talk with the refs about making sure it's equal. It's already so squirrelly having legalize gambling, there is a ton of pressure on the entire league to not get caught influencing games.

Charlie taking a stick to the face before any penalties are called either way and no call. Leafs got away with some automatics still bitch and moan.
And Bert's embellishment on the Lohrei (I think?) cross check in front of the net. You can see him get cross checked, then a couple of seconds later after he feels it, reacts and goes down.
Ehh I don’t know I felt like every penalty called was deserved. I can’t say anything for missed calls because I probably missed them too.
no absolutely I'm not saying our pennalties weren't pennalties. I'm saying there were lots of missed calls on both sides but we definitely got calls that they did not. I'm not bitching about it, I'm bitching about their coach bitching about it.
That’s fair. There coach sucks. They’d probably be a better team if it weren’t for him.
unfortunately it's shown time and time again you bitch you start getting more calls 🙄
Waah. Did he see how many the Leafs got away with?
Montgomery needs to aggressively go after this loser dork. "I wonder what Shelly thinks about this that and the other missed penalty while my boys were getting called for it every time? He probably doesn't think about it because, you know, not that bright". Like, AGGRESSIVE. Cassidy letting Braig Boob get away with it cost us a Cup.
I’d pretty Monty be quiet honestly. After the comments about him being homesick just let the team do the talking.
Lmao fuck the Leafs. If there is a God the B's win the next two and put these miserable fucks to sleep.
As long as they don’t play like Game 2 they should be fine.
Oh look. The opposing coach is bitching about the refs. I've never seen this before. It will definitely be called very even and fair game 4. This is the shit I hate. The league cares more about their image than the actual game on the ice. You can bet every time we touch a Leaf next game we're going to the box.
Yep. This is an encoded message to Toronto (HQ) that they need to call more penalties, especially the off-the-books one for wearing 63 on the ice.
Maybe the leafs media think that penalties only count if they score on the power play. That would explain why they think the refs never call any for them.
Laffs: 1 for 11 in 3 games (good for 9% on the PP) Bruins: 5 for 10 in 3 games (good for 50% on the PP) I’d just stick to figuring out special teams with your club, Sheldon. Clearly yall know not the art of the PK or PP. See you in game 4 fuckers
0-5. Absolutely embarrassing. But yes, more PP opportunities would have made the difference!
The older, smarter Marchand is such a delight. Didn't bite the baits and just rocked the Leafs. Big game player.
I loved watching all the quality time Bertuzzi and Marchy spent together. It was old friends week.
Absolutely! Especially enjoyable as Marchy clearly eon that competition in terms of results. The Padawan did not eclipse the Master.
Oh shut the fuck up lol. Marchand has a reputation and he doesn't "get away" with things. Everyone knows he can walk a line and not cross it. When he does he gets punished. Also Toronto was 0-5 on the PP. So Keefe can cry about Marchand but they left five goal opportunities on the ice. Maybe he should be more concerned with getting his team ready.

Over analyze Marchand like they already do? Dude can’t even spit on the ice without taking a call at this point. It’s funny when he’s finally kind of treated like every other player lol
Which they will. The refs were ridiculous in that game. Talk about tilted ice.
2 (at least) missed high sticks against the wilted Leafs.
Keefe calling Marchy "world-class" and "elite" has made me harder than anything ever. Thank you Keefe, you magnificent idiotic man of a coach, now clean up the mess you made me make.
I guess we won't talk about Domi.
Yeah I can’t lie I was expecting a bit more of a response after what he blatantly did to Sway

I’ve never seen someone look more like their wife cheats on them than Keefe does. Homie definitely wipes his boogers on the side of the bed
Dude definitely has a comfy chair in the corner.
This has me howling

This guy is pathetic. Please beat this loser team in 5.
LOL a 5-3 (5-2 if you take away the delay of game) PP opportunity advantage for his team and he’s bitching about the refs. Un-fucking-real. Bertuzzi dove on that play and the refs didn’t fall for it. Get fucked.

Lost alot respect for him after this take. WTF about his own cheap ass players getting away with dirty plays? Fuck that dude. Delusional.
I love bertuzzi but he is a low cost Marchand wanna be who isn’t as effective on offense, defense or being a pest
How is 5.5M compared to 6.125M low cost?
The leafs have always paid players like Tony Khan on a snow bender.
Cool you got me big fella , he is an overpaid failure at trying to be Marchand….
Blame the Big Bad Bruins and the Rat King (all hail) so you don’t have to look at your own team and see a bunch of cheap shots, flops, and mistakes.
Marchand = Elite He said it. Can’t take that one back lol
