Last night, The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins were locked in a battle that would need OT to solve it.

Bruins' long time play by play announcer Jack Edwards, who is known a homer among fans for his bias towards Boston made an outlandish claim, take a look:
The Bruins announce team was talking about the previous instigator penalty they were serving as AJ Greer jumped Sam Lafferty after a clean hit to start a fight with Edwards lamenting ‘well, it is Toronto' .
One, if a player hits an opponent and it's clean and a third man jumps In to defend said teammate, it's an instigator no matter the circumstance and two, he must not realize Toronto doesn't get many power plays a as team.
Like I said above, Edwards is the ultimate homer and for that, I guess he does his job well, but if the league were trying to help the Leafs in any way, one would think go a lot farther every year than they actually do.
I get that it's his job to say outlandish things on the mic during games sometimes, but implying the league is fixed in favour of Toronto is laughably false.
