The Habs started puck-ragging when our guys needed a change. Nothing we could really do but outwait them. If they over-did it trying to get the puck back, they'd get beat to the front of the net.Seriously, that was a brutal OT. No real intensity to get control of the puck the whole time. Weird stuff.
My preliminary assessment of Ward after 10 games is that he seems like a guy who's been an assistant for too long. Not sure he's cut out for a head coaching gig much like Gulutzan.
Don't want to go full Oilers fan there's no way the Habs committed only 1 penalty. Rittich sucked as well

I'm ecstatic about the way the team is playing system-wise since Ward took over. This was about the worst game we've played, and it's one where we probably should've won. And yes, that's two games in a row where for whatever reason, refs refuse to see penalties against us. As much as it does nothing to complain, and as much as there are several individual plays that would've turned this into a win, it is making the task much harder than it should be to win games.
