The idea of going
To any sporting event
To support the home team is to
Be PRO ACTIVE!!!
Give the team energy when they need it Not sitting down waiting
To be REACTIVE. The players can’t say it but I will tonight’s crowd was VERY DISAPPOINTING

I feel awful for Jack Campbell. He was so good while here in Toronto but took it upon himself when things went badly. Ilya Samsonov is doing the same thing. So much of goaltending is Between the Ears and both goalkeepers need Positive reinforcement and less time with the press

The difference in this play and Morgan Rielly’s is that this is a “Hockey Play”. Trouba is simply trying to get his stick back on the ice and the players head got in the way subsequently it’s just a fine! REALLY!!!!????
Jacob Trouba has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for high sticking Trent Frederic
