Joffrey Lupul 2 for cross checking and John Tavares 2 for diving.
Call came with 3 minutes left in the game with the Leafs up by one goal.

One of the most obscene calls I have ever witnessed in hockey

Well, Dougie got it right.
The ref f*cked up

That was the finest rant / tantrum I’ve have ever seen. He screamed, “you fxcked up” in the ref’s face, about ten times. He shamed him into a nearly instant make-up call in which another real penalty became another off-setting coincidental, this time the other way, and really brought out a wild west feel. Classic moment. Weight has been in at least 1000 more games than the ref, I’m sure, and he made him feel like a piece, while Capuano started to politely restrain him, an outrageous smirk dominating his face. Down a goal late in the game to boot. Good stuff.

I don’t blame him. What a ridiculous diving call. Ludicrous.
