Leaf Game Blog....

The game is just in the first period and already it has the feel of a playoff game. It's been intense from the drop of the puck and already a blown call as Tyler Bozak scores a goal that should have counted. Instead the idiot ref calls it incidental interference caused by a slight bump by Joffrey Lupol on Zybenek Michalek into Marc-Andre Fleury...total BS.

Nazem Kadri DRILLS Paul Martin behind the Penguins net on a clean hit....then he looses the puck at center ice as he got closer to the blueline, and the Penguins bench starts calling him "footsteps".

A few minutes later, Kadri himself gets nailed again at the Pens blueline. Solid hit.

TSN's Ray Ferraro almost calls Matt Cooke a choir boy, saying he is up for the Lady Bing as he only is on pace for 27 penalty minutes and is trying to play within the rules as they show a hit he laid on Kadri.....then about 6 minutes later, he looks like he is trying to take Mike Brown's head off with a leaning attempt that rips his stick out of his hands.

Fleury is stealing this period, despite quick whistles and blown calls. He is on top of his game with a couple of big saves off Kessel and Lupol.

Back during the 2nd....
