I don't even mind that call actually, if Brown is not going to man up and just throw the body check, but instead try to impede him from being away to the races, I'd call that too, Brown tried to interfere and get away with it, because he wouldn't take the body hard, don't dance with him, hit him, you fucking pussy.

MacKinnon went out of his way to run into him, he could have easily gone around him, he just wanted the call, clever embellishment, 100%. I saw no attempt on Browns part to impede him, he just couldn't get out the way because MacKinnon wouldn't let him, the deliberate train crash was coming on too fast.

MacKinnon comes at you, hit him, Brown should have rocked him, but instead Brown played him soft, so too bad so sad, should have smoked him when he had the chance, No Hit League doesn't deserve a bonus point.

I know, just saying, basketball call. Not defending Brown, just pointing out MacKinnon deserves an Oscar for selling that call, as well as the fact that he's Atlas, carrying the Avs to victory, pretty much single-handedly.

MacKinnon worked hard all night, the Ref is aware of the context, the Leafs were dogging it, Brown was trying to check without checking, you go in soft, you get what you deserve, I'm giving the call to MacKinnon, he earned it.

If Brown came flying in their with some agression to rock him, Mackinnon would have had to bail.

He earned it, with his acting skills and dominant play. He's got the passes, he's got the shots, he's got it all baby. Even the refs love him, that's how you know you've made it.

That's true, Brown gave MacKinnon the opportunity to draw the penalty by being soft, can't deny that, even if it was a basketball call.

Brown should know that MacKinnon is going to get the call, either chip the puck off his stick, or take the body hard, if you do neither, deer in the headlights, that's how she goes, don't like it, don't do that.

Brown played it quite poorly, in total agreement there, shouldn't have given MacKinnon the chance to sell it, should have known better. Brown's a dummy, still a basketball call though. Thanks Brown, much appreciated.

[Smitty-48]

The Leafs are just soft, they're not going anywhere until they harden the fuck up, I like Brown, but he's soft, if you don't want guys like MacKinnon to roll you, then make them know that there is a price to pay for making contact, Brown should have actually run him, low bridge, as payback for the slewfoot on Marner, if you're gonna take the penalty, make it worth it.

Other than Kadri and Komo, the Leafs won't take the body, they try to make soft contact all the time, and that's how you take interference penalties, if they want respect, they have to earn it, make the other team keep their heads up and they will dive out of your way rather than trying to roll you.

This is why I'd take Brady Tkachuk over Svechnikov or Zadina, he's even nastier than his brother, he's a bigger faster meaner version of Matt.

Sweden - Russia. Bring it on. Its 02.06 now in Sweden. I'm pretty drunk after a superb New Year's dinner. My wife went to bed but I'm going to watch this one.
