Post-Game Talk: Jets lose in OT 3-2

[sipowicz]

Habs fans drive home happy in their beaters back to St. Malo

 

[None]

Another thing I forgot to mention in my post above was I thought the 4th line was the most consistent tonight. Thought they were the only line that was ready right from the first faceoff.

 

[Slimy Sculpin]

Not lovely

I really hate to comment on reffing, as I see it as lame.

But this game was quite poorly officiated. It just was.

We did play a great third, and grabbed a point. To hell with the Habs.

I seriously wonder about reffing and gambling, point spreads,etc.
I wonder if Alphalacky has any thoughts on the matter.

 

[jungles]

Interesting strategy to put exactly 0 pressure on the Habs on the PK.

 

[abax44]

Did the hand over the puck come before the cross check?

Because if so, thats montreal possession, and the ref needs to blow the play down.

If the penalty gets called, Lowry doesnt do that..

Technically, he cross-checked him to the ice first - not that they were calling it, but they certainly could have. It was a 4-3 regardless. Not sure why they used a non-centre on the ensuing face off, though.

 

[wpgallday1960]

How the hell did they not rule MTls 2nd goal a glove pass? Didn’t appear to hit any stick or player.

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

It came from the cross check, ie Lowry cross checked him and Matheson fell onto the puck and decided to keep his hand on it.

I could be wrong, but It looked like there was no call on the initial cross check. It was an after thought.

Your probably right though. Tbh i just hate losing to the habs.

 

[Aphid]

Why did Lowry cross check him three times in the first place? It was stupid and unnecessary in that situation. Could have used him for the faceoff. Control your anger and let the guy lay on the puck and kill penalty kill time.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Imagine being so f***ing sick with surfeit of privilege as a fan base, that you not only GET the insane four-game suspension on Scheifele, you have your provincial level politicians using taxpayers dollars to whine for something even more egregious, and then continue *time and time again* to get the benefit of some insane officiating.

My only regret is that the Jets didn't continue in the finest Roger Nielson tradition and flagrantly foul each and every Habs player that touched the puck en route to the shootout.

Nevertheless, thank you Jets for proving my point about one of my biggest bugbears, f*** the Habs, f*** their whiny and entitled fan base, and drinks are on me the day the Habs are officially eliminated from the playoff race.

Oh I'm willing to bet (see what I did there) that at least half of nhl officials would be banned from the occupation if they ever investigated it. The corruption is so obvious.

They said the call was confirmed but I think it was probably more that it was inconclusive. There were visible indicators that the puck might've been hit but no definitive angles that showed no contact to overrule the original call on the ice.

For those who feel like being part of the discussion the IC Post-Game Show is live now here.

The worst part about this and losing and I'm using that word very loosely, he's going to have to hear hot takes about what we should have done better when this was easily the worst officiated game I've seen in months, f***ing awful. Let's not even discuss the f***ing bullshit circumstances that led to a hand-pass being allowed to go up to nothing, but the game went in goal in overtime was set up by a power play where the Montreal cheating pricks were allowed to run a pick play and then they Dove on a good defensive play where he got puck. I'm so f***ing incense but hardly surprised

The Ref's were all Lackey's...

Possibly related... ?

 

[Aries56]

What a lousy, poorly officiated game. AHL Habs joined forces with the beer league refs and it was super effective.

Onto the next one.

 

[WolfHouse]

Canadiens are a team that hangs on and hopes for a bounce - they got them tonight

Not sure about Barron out there in OT - would have liked to see Nino or vilardi - he was not aggressive

Crosscheck penalty was bogus. And who the fk calls a penalty with 30 seconds left...

Schmidt is still a six million dollar weak link.

Vilardi's hands are sick

I'd say this is a bit of a moral victory - if we have to lose some I don't mind losing like this

No kidding, Lowry dared them to call it and they did, stupid on his part

20 games in a row with 3 or less goals scored against.
Fix the PP and we become a contender.

 

[ThinIce61]

Exactly my point. Others need to learn the art. Its costs teams games. Especially tight games. We are brutal at it and its noticeable

I agree. I don't understand why the Jets or even other teams don't bring in a former player who was really good at faceoffs in for training camp as a guest coach and just work with the C's every practice.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Wasn't conclusive enough to overturn. I don't have an issue with that call.

 

[bustamente]

I not going to waste my breath about the reffing every one can see how they try to control and manage the game and league seems to be okay with it.

 

[tbcwpg]

Your probably right though. Tbh i just hate losing to the habs.

I'm not sure which cross check it was but there were several from Lowry there that could've been called.

 

[The Blue Baron]

@sipowicz is right that was shit to watch. This league really knows how to make itself look pathetic.

2 out of 5 John McLane gifs

Pity point but man that was a chore to witness.
Hope JoMo is ok!
Lurch was not that smart

Hab fans are the worst.

We have to beat the shit teams consistently because we aren't going to be much better than break even against the really good teams.
