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

[JetsFan815]

Habs lucky all night. 2 goal posts for the Jets. That bum Anderson "scores" one off of a bounce off his skate and then "assists" another with a clear handpass with finally the zebras coming in for the assist on extra point.

Not that the Jets were that great. Seemed like another game where they expected an easy one until they fell behind. Once they fell behind though, thought they were good. I am glad we got a point out of this.

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.

I started watching at 13:xx of the second. I saw Gus Bus once and he almost tipped the puck into the net but we don't like tipping.

I'll clean up my angry voice to text post later. f*** you Habs and incompetent referees

 

[SUX2BU]

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

He drinking and listening to Alanis Morrisette

Lurch should of stopped with the cross checks after the first one

Scheifele was doing his classic float around all stiff and flyby out of the zone. Guy cannot keep his mind engaged for 82 games for some unknown reason

 

[Slimy Sculpin]

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.

I wonder if some stats wizard could parse out the appropriate data and come up with a conclusion one way or another. Actually, I'm more annoyed by all the effing Habs fans at the game. Heck, it seemed like more red in the stands than blue/white.

I'm going to work hard to wipe this one from my memory banks -
Take the point and move on - could have been a lot worse.

 

[kanadalainen]

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.

Preach!

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

Yes, and back to Iles Des Chenes as well Sip. You have to include the whole community. Hope their beaters can handle the distance.
No knock on the French, as I'm 1/2 French, but a funny comment expected from you Sip.

How do 4 officials on the ice not see a clear interference at the point of attack? Yikes what a brutal look for those 4 blind mice

 

[bustamente]

Wins games you should lose, lose games you should win, its the NHL every night

 

[KingBogo]

Needed a couple minutes to control the bubbling anger. It is easy to complain about the refs, since they are able to be so incredibly bad so regularly. Anyways sorry to the real Jets fans walking out of the arena tonight with the Hab jerseys stinking up the place. We got a point that we can use moving forward. On to the next game.

 

[tbcwpg]

Reffing or no reffing, they didn't look anywhere close to how they looked against Colorado twice or LA the past couple of weeks. Move on.

They do, but they have money on Habs.

Looks like Morrissettes favourite team has a new coach!

They are still playing to their opponents level... but they are not the only team that does that

 

[kanadalainen]

On the plus side:

- 1 point
- Koal Perfecto ressurection
- Volare continues his run of slick hands magic

Yup get ready for the Wings win that game good teams collect points even when they don't play their best

 

[The Hobgoblin]

Hate to blame refs but when it is warranted you have to call it out. I thought our effort was low and nothing like the last few games. It felt the team was out to make a point against LA and the Avs...and decided to pitch a tent and roast smores against the Habs.

I'd be very hard pressed to accuse the referees of explicit corruption for the purpose of feathering their own nests.

I'll absolutely say that referees in hockey have empirically provable biases for game management and that "even-up" calls happen with a frequency that rivals the Big Bang itself in terms of defying statistical credulity.

Nevertheless, now that the NHL is partnering with gambling websites, even mere apathy towards this is insufficient. There needs to be reviews of officials with unrivalled transparency. One can easily argue that with Tim Peel, "his only crime was getting caught", and that the rot of the mindset he spoke openly of needs uprooting.

But as for individual refs? I'd say most of them are too smart to even give the whiff of profiteering. But once gambling enters the picture, it's not enough to BE honest, one must also visibly APPEAR honest.

And that's why the current sub-standard officiating needs a HUGE overhaul.

Now that I see the replay - how is that not conclusive hand pass... I mean what do you have to do
