For the Toronto Maple Leafs, that’s three out of a possible four points over the last two games vs the referees.
Now I actually don’t mind the massive discrepancy in penalty calls over the last two games, even if it didn’t go in Toronto’s favor. The fact is, even-up calls are one of the worst things about the NHL, so this is not specifically the problem.
The problem is that the Leafs are getting called for inexplicably soft penalties, while blatant infractions against them go unpunished.
I know this will seem like whining and making excuses, but the penalty shot call on Marner in overtime was pathetic.
