"The former Leaf netted the OT winner as Canada edged Czechia 4-3 to advance to the semifinals of the Milan Games. As expected, the epic tally caused a storm of anti-Leaf content across the globe. The hockey world's obsessed with Toronto, Wednesday afternoon was the latest example of it. Obviously, that's where the conversation started on the latest edition of Leafs Morning Take as Zack Phillips filled in for Jay Rosehill."
"How the hell did Czechia get away with having eight men on the ice for the 3-2 goal? Imagine the Czechs went on to win the game? Milan would be burned to the ground. The funny thing about everything is that the Czech coach came out after the game and ripped the refs: "We were basically playing against six players.." Now that's funny."
Mitch Marner scored the 3-on-3 overtime winner as Canada beat Czechia 4-3 to reach the Milan semifinals. The goal triggered widespread anti-Leaf commentary and renewed discussion about Toronto's public perception. The game featured a contentious officiating moment when Czechia appeared to have eight players on the ice for the 3-2 goal; the Czech coach complained that his team had been effectively playing against six players. Jordan Binnington, Connor McDavid and Macklin Celebrini received praise. Canada's roster depth remains a concern ahead of later rounds. Chris Tanev resumed skating as Toronto returned to practice. David Pagnotta suggested Toronto's trade-deadline plans have not materially changed.
