Jumped off his skates and threw an elbow to the head, this play warrants a six game suspension. Craig beruibe should freaking out right now. The panthers are a dirty club, multiple players are trying to injure the leafs. Fight fire with fire.
Plus it's Rodrigues. If reversed, he would have thrown all his equipment and rolled around on the ice like he was shot for 3 min until he got a call. Then he would pop back up and jump into the play.
Very obvious refs vs leafs in that one. Not an excuse for their loss, but this play, and the corss check on marner very blatant miss calls. Several times panthers players were holding sticks too.
No question Florida now has the mantle of dirtiest team in the NHL. Rodrigues has joined the rat brigade along with a few other Panthers. A predatory, cowardly hit on a guy viewed to be a clean player. I have come to the conclusion the DOPS is a joke. Rielly suspended for 5 games for the Grieg hit, but no call on this & nothing from the DOPS. Run by clowns & in particular Parros. A hit clearly targeting Tavares' head with Rodrigues shoulder. He knew what he was doing as that part of the shoulder pad is made of hard material & will injure someone in a head shot.
Panthers need to target certain Leafs to move on to the next round. Stolarz was the first target and then Tavares because of his ability in the face offs. The NHL condones this type of thing.
The refs are letting the USA teams play like it's the UFC on skates, without consequences for them. Canadian teams are given a different set of rules.If they even get close to an infraction it's off the ice they go. It's so obvious and sickening. it's like playing thugs against skilled Olympians. Don't believe, How about Roy's cross check to the face, About the Leafs goalie getting nailed, about Panther Rodrigues checks to the head, Ovi injuring players left and right. Crosscheck from behind sending Nurse headfirst into the LA net, and the list goes on. Does it take a death to get this under control.? Or maybe a new COE that does not have a mandate to keep Canadian Teams from ever winning the cup again! by any means necessary.
Every game in this series has seen a Maple Leafs take a headshot that GOES UNCALLED #1 – Bennett on Stolarz – #2 Ekblad on Woll – #3 Rodriguez on Tavares
as a frenchman i'm also rugby fan . in Rugby a contact to the head sends the player out for 10 minutes or for the entire game depending on the gravity. if the referee doesn't see the foul play, the video ref can ask to stop the game to check the play. Moreover the players have tooth protections with a microchip which beeps when a commotion is suspected.

How is this not malicious?
Dude left his skates targeting a head
The NHL has officially opened head hunting season, seems the US teams are the only ones to get the licenses.
NHL isnt even gonna look at it.
Classic Panthers.
panthers always aiming at heads… thats whta they do… sneaky and dirty
Isn't malicious? How?
Maybe he'll get fined $5000. This is Panther….Paul Maurice hockey. And the League looks the other way.
Clearly intent to injure.
No respect for each other. It is really lame to watch
This is being blown out of proportion lol. Its a hit.

Oh gee more Panther's bullshit hockey!
Looks like Gary has his favorite. He must be worried cuz there is 3 Can teams left
Hope JT is okay. His concussion during the Montreal pandemic series is one of the scariest things I've seen.
I blame the refs for not calling this stuff. The players learn what they can get away with and exploit it.
Dirtiest team in the league
Leafs need to file a formal complaint with NHL safety
toronto isnt allowed to win. the nhl wont take action
A Leaf wouldn't get away with that!
Plus it's Rodrigues. If reversed, he would have thrown all his equipment and rolled around on the ice like he was shot for 3 min until he got a call. Then he would pop back up and jump into the play.

To bad the refs chose to ignore that. Clearly left his skates. A clear elbow.
Clearly you more efficient then the refs
Refereeing, Players Safety, and Bettman, a f—ing joke! Very, very, SHADY and concerning for all NHL players, safety and health?
It’s Florida. They’re allowed to get away with anything. I don’t know why anyone is surprised.

Against a player with a known concussion history, too. That didn't feel accidental.
Tavares embellishing

Another call the in bred zebras mist
Colin Campbell's son is assistant GM and they get away with murder constantly. This is the worst professional sports league but the best sport.
This is 5-10 games he's did this couple times to other players
