Maple Leafs @ NHL Referees 2009, November 19

[hockeydude240]

Leafs should have won even though it dosn't matter now.

[sylver5000]

Maples leafs suck, it must be the ref's fault. There were no bad calls.

[aYoCrunch]

@sylver5000 Fuck you

[Kartracer6]

looks like a good game to me.

[azonsax]

Looking at this game alone...why do people think Gustavsson is capable as a starter?

[MartyTurco093]

i have no clue what you mean by the refs scrwed them over..i saw a goalie interfrence in OT when the puck went threw but thats it..and it was on the maple leafs

[beaverfeaver12]

the leafs suck man its bull shit

[skydome29]

Its called the cover up for bad refs rule. AKA the kerry fraser rule.

[jadass]

I told my girlfriend when we were watching this "even if the Leafs score in overtime they wouldn't count it", and i was right.

[kyogre3546]

ian white's double minor was a bad call :(

[Flawless0straint]

As gay as the refs were the leafs blew a 3 nothing lead. Pathetic.

[Xgames13]

WOW I'm a Caps fans but man the Leafs got fucked over bad in this game... I hope none of that bullshit officiating comes into our meeting tonight...

[MapleLeafsUnofficial]

don't worry, if it does it will be in favour of the caps.

[TheZbubbler]

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[sean125]

wow we deserved that win

been a leafs fan all my life im 16 but i wont ever give up

palyoffs 09-10 !!! GO LEAFS GOOOOO!!

[XCJimmyXC]

dont get to worked up as long as theres bullshit refs like this winning anything wont be possible espicially if you like a canaidan team that also explains why none canadian team won the cup in like 18 years... not a suprise when we have don cherry and garry bettman.....

[TheProlific1980]

Try watching the Flames play. They get raped every game. 10 calls in one period the other night. We held on for the win though. In twenty years of playing and watching hockey I witnessed my first double hooking call on the same play! a 4 minute! WTF? You know if Phoenix, Columbus,Chicago are comming to ton you get Auger or Larue for a ref ready to screw ya in the ass. I dont know what its like down east. Probably the same.

[VslAfg]

i agree.

[StephaneDoucet78]

conspiracy

[LeafsFanInOttawa]

Excellent title. Couldn't have put it better myself. Hagman's OT winner was nice.

[Britex123]

only the leafs could pull some shit like this. score with 30 secs left then give up i goal with 2 secs left

[gman1594]

ye, the refs blew it but you gotta lock down when youre up by 1 with 30 seconds left, no matter what

[dShroppy]

nice title!

[hothjoke]

my favorite part of this game was when white decks the guy, then fights him and kicks the shit out of him. it was wicked awesome

[LitttlJ]

I know haha, Big Hit, the Bitch goes after White, White kicks his ass.. Classic!

[00StangGT00]

lol @ blaming the refs, the refs didn't blow the leafs 3-0 lead and the refs didn't cough up the lead again in the last seconds. the leafs are terrible plain and simple, couldn't even beat the hurricanes with eric staal and cam ward out. boston will be thanking the leafs for taylor hall or tyler seguin when they get the 1st pick

[Nubbiee]

The refs called a penalty on Ian white for a carolina player slashing his own team mate. 4 minute penalty and it let them tie it up. You know if it was your team you would be bitching like a baby.

[00StangGT00]

great so that's one goal, the leafs had a 3-0 lead and blew it so the game shouldn't have been that close to begin with. and before you leaf fans blame the refs maybe you should remember the joke of a reffing game they got against anaheim for their first win when the refs gave the leafs 11 powerplays to anaheims 2.

[Nubbiee]

That one goal changed the pace of the game, the one on the powerplay to tie it at 4. The call by the reff was terrible, which led to a carolina goal, boosting confidence on the bench. That call cost the leafs the game. "the refs gave the leafs 11 powerplays to anaheims 2. " Wrong. Toronto -10 Anahiem- 17. Nice try. Still quite the margin but none of the penalites were as horrible of a call as the one in this game. Or did you even watch the game?

[00StangGT00]

the fact that the game was so close that one goal made a difference was a fuck up by the leafs not the refs, they were up 3-0 and blew it. stop blaming the refs, the leafs got the lead back with 30 seconds left and couldn't even hold on to that. then they got owned in the shootout, they deserved to lose. they;re going to be dead last and be shit next year too cause they gave away all their draft picks for kessel.

[MarktheSharkSheehan]

it doesn't matter if they deserved the win... its that they should have won

[jimih64]

It's not the ref's job to make sure each team gets an equal number of penalties. It's their job to call penalties, regardless of make-up calls and other douchiness that a faggy ass Ducks fan would expect.

[00StangGT00]

i'm not a ducks fan you fucking idiot haha. and you're a leafs fan so you can't bash anyone with your garbage team, who lost AGAIN tonight even with 61 shots on goal hahaha leafs should just give it up so boston can get the #1 pick next year. kessel making a big difference eh? leafs and their fans are a joke

[jimih64]

LOLOLOLOLOL you hypocritical retard. I'm a wings fan, you fucking clown.

[00StangGT00]

hahahaha wings are fucking garbage what are they 11th in the west? the dynasty is over. and if you're a wings fan why are you on here defending the leafs you fucking mess you're probably one of the fucking bandwagon dipshits that didn't start liking them until after 1997. and you're 36 and playing nhl 94 bahahah move out of your moms basement.

[jimih64]

Yes, garbage, because a bad offseason and first quarter of a year means a lot. Really, it does. Also, I'm not defending the Leafs. I don't give two shits about the Leafs; I didn't even see this game. I'm only defending the game of hockey, in an attempt to educate some of the dipshit fans like you who understand the rules. And I'm 26, cockgobbler. I've been watching the Wings since I was a fuckin' baby.

[ImayStalkU]

@jimih64 I like turtles

[TheProlific1980]

This is where our game is at. The ref controls the outcome. How many fucking terrible overtime calls have you seen. Its sick and so predictable. put your team down untill their down 2 or three goals wait untill the third throw a few make up calls when its to late.

[StephaneDoucet78]

the cans came back because of the refs ...,..,.,.,.. so stop your lol

[ShasoDnarb]

Inherently, a "fan", by the term's very nature, is a fuckwit.

[canuckblue42]

True fans don't switch teams. At least that's my philosophy... and even if I did switch I would need 20 years of hockey to be as much of a fan as I am a Leaf fan now. I guess when they do turn it around it'll be worth the wait.

[LitttlJ]

Agreed dude. I will never NOT be a Leafs Fan. Only 17, but I've been watching them since I was like Just Born.

[lynchan000]

i been a leafs fan for a long-time..never switching..getting sick and tired of Same team winning and entering the playoffs..i want someone else to win..teams like Leafs..die-hard fans never switch!.

[EffortlessCool2]

The refs have almost always called unfair games against the Leafs in Carolina. I should know. I've had to sit through them and try not to throw my drink onto the ice.

[LeafsFanInOttawa]

It's common in Carolina when they play a Canadian team. What were the PIM totals last year? Something like Montreal 28, Carolina 4? Remember when they got Antropov on the phantom hook 2 years ago?  White's phantom high-stick? I don't even know why I'm surprised that the refs dicked us last night.

[EffortlessCool2]

Yea that phantom hook was complete BS, unfair officiating (especially in OT) like that just ruins the game. The title of this video is too perfect.

[LeafsFan120]

I just turned into a Sabres fan less than a week ago, my previous team did not show up to games and it still looks like nothing has changed...

[canadianmaple09]

Dirty fucking traitor. How long before Buffalo no longer cuts it for you and you jump on another bandwagon?

[LeafsFan120]

I plan on staying a Buffalo fan for many many years to come, I was a leaf fan for 12 years when i got into hockey. If I was a band wagoner I think I would choose the best team that has the most promise for the future (Washington, Pittsburgh). And if Buffalo were to suddenly lose 20 in a row i'd still cheer for them. Not to mention I live close to Buffalo and get free tickets ever now and then. Leafs are a disgrace, and will continue to be for many years to come whether you like it or not.

[canadianmaple09]

I live right across the river from Detroit and tickets are dirt cheap, but I would NEVER cheer for the Red Wings for one second. Free tickets is a lame excuse for deciding which team to cheer for.

[LeafsFan120]

Wow did I say that was my only excuse? I guess you didnt read the rest of my reply... Call me anything you want, but im supporting a franchise that could use it. If you have any rational at all, you would know what im doing makes perfect sense. You can go right on ahead and continue to support the leafs, but dont expect to get anything in return.

[canadianmaple09]

Yes, I read your whole comment. I didn't say that was the only reason. As a sports fan I expect nothing in return. I enjoy being part of a community that is all cheering for the same team. Except for a very small minority like you we all enjoy undying loyalty for our team. It's a great feeling, whether the Leafs win every game or lose every game.

[LeafsFan120]

I understand what your saying, whatever floats your boat. Ive been considering making the switch to Buffalo for the past 5 years now since in Niagara falls you get a load of Sabres fans and most of my buddies are actually Sabres fans themselves. Im going to enjoy watching games alot more now then I currently do. Thats basically my main reason for the switching.

[canadianmaple09]

It's not me that first said this, but "There's no such thing as an ex-Leafs fan." You should get a new username now that you're cheering for a hated divisional rival.

[LeafsFan120]

Well its looks like im starting a new trend then, and yes I probably will change the username at some point. Giving up on the leafs wasnt easy ill give you that, and at the moment I can only watch sabres games online unless there playing against a Canadian team typically or if im at the bar...

[canadianmaple09]

That doesn't mean that people never switch from cheering for the Lefs. What that saying means is, if you switch teams you never really were a Leafs fan. I guess "True Leafs fans don't quit" is another way to put it.

[LeafsFan120]

Thats true I admit, im not a true fan since I decided to cheer for the Sabres. It simply made so much sense to me to do that, but it can be said I was a good fan though since I supported the Leafs for that long without giving up on them. I plan on being a true Buffalo fan.

[Stevenio]

Look at Boston Red Sox fans, they waited since 1918 to win a championship. The sox have won 2 in the past 5 years.

Leafs will be on top again, this is just their worst possible year. Nothing is going their way. Look at the avs last year, a last place team not they are in first.

[hothjoke]

haha i live on grand island. im a leafs fan but dang theyve been blowing for the past couple of seasons.

[Beasony]

Your a disgrace to hockey and u don't know what being a fan means

[LeafsFan120]

So being a fan of the Leafs for 12 years does not prove anything? I stuck out for this team when thinks looked bleak. But you know what? The Leafs franchise in general does not show an urgency to win, and that really fucking pisses me off. Also im no disgrace to hockey. Im supporting a franchise in need of it thats in a traditional hockey market, also since im not supporting the leafs, less revenue goes to franchises such as Phoenix when it should be for example in Winnipeg... I rest my case

[alchemist22]

horrible game by the refs

first off they gave ian white the penalty when it wasn't his high stick, that resulted in the tying carolina goal

second they blew the call in OT cuz it was a goal and the whistle blew after the puck went in, the carolina dman kicked the puck in his own net

And shame on the leafs for not being able to hold onto a lead for half a minute remaining

Sucks to be a leafs fan

[josh17beaton]

This is the excuse for it..and i kid you not...its not when the whistle is blown...its when the intent is...

[MarktheSharkSheehan]

I intend to kick that refs ass... therefore that refs ass just got kicked... see what i did thar

[rea93rea93]

soooooooo shitttttttt

[mikeyfoster1]

Fucking Gustavsson learn to play goalie you piece of shit

[Nubbiee]

Oh come on give him a break, hes a few bad games but honestly, he is our only hope for goaltending. Lets not ruin another goaltender like we did with Toskala , Pogge and raycroft. Besides all that Ian white is the man.

[Dhomess]

lets give a big round of applause for the leafs who gave up a 3 goal lead in the third!

[Dhomess]

second *
