I mean... are you talking about the faceoff with 10:15 left in the second period? Because... Matthews 100% has not yet stood up. The puck is 100% still at their feet being contested. Matthews is hit in the face by the follow through of Barkov's first attempt to control the puck. This is literally the exact situation the rule was written for.

Watch the video and tell me he is not almost completely up and proceeding out of the dot. Even the consistently anti-Leaf commentators admitted it was a missed call.

Edit, he is about halfway up, but he is most definitely heading past the dot.

Would be nice for him to do anything these playoffs.

Matthews is almost completely out of his crouch and is actually starting to skate forward away from the dot. You can see it about halfway through here:

It's not a wild swing. It's literally Barkov's attempt to draw the puck back from the linesman dropping it for the faceoff. It's the exact situation the rulebook specifically says it not a penalty.

Sorry, forgot that what the rules actually are, and what actually happened, count as "poop nobody cares about" when it comes to Leafs fans whining about how unfair everything is.

Actually the more I look at it, the more it looks like the "follow thorugh" was an afterthought and was intentional.

Go to the section showing slow motion replays, multiple angles here.

At this point, you are just trolling.

Looks like he fanned on the shot again. He needed something to break his way for a change.

Leafs to the power kill

Death by spanking?

2 minutes for allowing Barkov to hold your stick. Vet play there...

game management call right on cue.

Leafs force a game 7.
