Gio was trying to clear the front of the net and gave JT a shove who then kind of glided into the net and knocked it off. refs gave Gio an interference giving Toronto a 5 on 3 with a couple minutes left. Kadri scored.
Then Rielly got a shot on net, and someone on the Leafs deflected it, not sure who, the puck went straight down to the side of the net and looked sort of like it went in so the Leafs all started celebrating in the corner. Back ref was about to blow the whistle for a goal but then noticed that it was actually on the outside of the net so the play continued. Brodie took it off the back of the net and passed it up ice where we had a partial 2 on 0 with an empty net which would have been a sure goal. but the ref blew it down at the red line, seemingly because Toronto was still celebrating and wasnt paying attention. To make matters worse (for the refs) they then had a faceoff at centre ice which is basically admitting that the whistle blew for no reason.
