4 h. ago Senators coach accuses Toronto Maple Leafs of 'selling' penalty calls

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators clearly don't like each other after just one playoff game.Game 1 was chippy with big hits thrown by both sides. The referees ended up issuing 22 penalties, all of which occurred in the final 40 minutes.The Maple Leafs had six power plays, scoring three goals with the man-advantage to come out with a 6-2 victory. On the other hand, the Senators had only two power plays, a discrepancy that Senators coach Travis Green suggested post-game could be due to embellishment."We definitely have to stay out of the box, I'll say that," Green told reporters. "At the end of the game, sometimes, it can get a little out of hand once in a while."I thought there were a couple calls that they did a good job selling, it's tough on the refs, but we can't take that many penalties."The biggest dive you'll ever see.
