Ever since that bloody fruit Bettman came to the NHL it's been all down hill! The league keeps him for the same reason the Leafs keep Peddie, they make money but know fuck all about the actual game!

If the Leafs were truly a good team, they'd overcome bullshit (and yes, it was bullshit) like this and they'd be in the playoffs, and this is coming from a Leafs fan.

Anyhow, I like to see this. Nik truly wants to win, and I'm not convinced that every player on the Leafs feels the same way. Go Antropov!

wow, props to whoever got this on film.. i think it was the only evidence there was

[Josh Ward]

i know it's fucking stupid

[1337leaf]

wow stupid ref

[HurricAnesHOCKey4]

wow what an idiot

[twig187]

that gets a 3 game suspension but sucker punches, cross-checks to the neck, nut punches and other injury causing plays get nothing. what a league.

[Mike Molina]

They thought it was intended for the ref

along with many other countries.

The part of the U.S.S.R that Antropov was born in is modern-day Kazakhstan.

It would be like me saying that Ovechkin is from Belarus. Both were U.S.S.R at the time of his birth but the modern day name of ovechkins birthplace is russia.

[NHLHockeyfreak]

Russia was the U.S.S.R

[ModernGenesis]

no, Kazakhstan and Russia were both the u.s.s.r

[NHLHockeyfreak]

At the time Antropov was born, Kazakhstan was russia
