Call me a whiner, but that was by far the worst officiated game I have seen in 25 years

MTL is lucky they had that nice french ref. 2 goals against while we should have still been on a PP lol

You're a whiner

 

[MattySnipes]

McDavid now has 77 points in 45 games for anyone keeping track (26G, 51A) 1.71ppg

140 points in 82 game season.

Ridic.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Great game again EDM. These last 2 games have been a treat. Best part we still have 2 more left before the end of the season.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Meh, Habs were the more desperate team as they try to hold onto the last playoff spot.

McDavid slightly improves his outside shot at 100 points with another 3 point game.

 

[KCC]

Absolute beauty of a game, second best of the year behind the previous game between these two teams

You’re kidding I hope. Outside of Edm almost coming back at the end, that was the worst officiated game in a long time. Montreal cross checked and tripped up Edm so much I lost count after a while. It sucked all the excitement out of the game because of how bad the reffing was.

The worst non call in the game was Draisaitl elbowing Weber in the head

 

[KidLine93]

Drai looked liked he borderline left the ice on that hit

which is different than any other weber/danault/Anderson hit tonight? thats been fine all game until it wasn't. I'm fine with that hockey just keep it consistant it was a 5v5 battle that turned into a special team battle for the last 8 minutes out of nowhere

You sound like the kind of people who say that a couple of times every season.

Both teams got away with a lot. McDavid attempted several cheapshots all game, for instance, before he got penalized. You could point out missed calls back and forth for both teams. What you're expressing is nothing short of confirmation bias.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

The worst officiated game I have seen in f***ing years. Absolute bush league.

Hilarious how @tawheed is quiet tonight.

Love easily beating this one man team. Not two man because it’s clear all Draisaitl is capable of doing is wait for one-timers on the PP. Habs D just destroyed him all night.

What a pushover team. Easy playoff victory for anyone in this division.

Draisaitl and McDavid are better than any Habs forward.

Who's the best MTL forward- old man Perry? Nick Suzuki? The overpaid Josh Anderson?

97/71 are scary good. Not one MTL forward is scary good.

The Habs think they can basically win in the playoffs because tight checking > starless roster.

Don’t even try. Well reffed game minus the phantom Allen “trip”. That’s what playoff hockey is. Maybe their fanbase forgot.

Reffing was absolute dog shit, but the sad thing is that the game this year where we played them and lost in OT was even worse. It boggles my mind that some of these guys are NHL refs. The Perry flop and the penalty to drai was just ridiculous on top of a dozen missed calls. Specifically obvious trips.

The Habs' best forward is injured.

 

[Canadienna]

PLEASE Vancouver

KICK this turd mugging obstruction team to the curb and take that 4th spot. Do it for every hockey fan who likes watching a good game

Well you know if the Oilers had a better record than 2-5-0 against the Habs...

Sounds like you don't want to play them in the playoffs!

 

[c9777666]

So that's why Bergevin thinks he doesn't need to sign a gamebreaker- because it's Playoff hockey!

Who needs Laine or Hall? They're built for tight checking playoff hockey!

 

[KCC]

McDavid with another 3 points. 6 in the last 2 and up to 77 now. Creeping closer (slim chance) to 100 points.

 

[MattySnipes]

The Oilers and Leafs both dont know how to play in a way where you walk the line officiating wise because you know what the refs will and won't let go.

It's a very veteran approach and can wear on talented teams.

It definitely scares me sometimes but it's an important skill to perfect because in playoffs the game is called tighter.

 

[c9777666]

I'll take McDavid/Draisaitl over any MTL forward

They don’t want to play anyone. Leafs, Jets and Habs will destroy them. Or are we supposed to be intimidated by 39 year old Mike Smith? He wasn’t even good in his prime.

 

[syz]

Tough game for the Oilers but I'm still in awe that Draisaitl got 2 minutes for bodychecking in a game like that.

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

If I'm a fan of any team in the north the only thing that scares me in a playoff series against the Habs is the reffing. If it's fair then all good though. What a joke of a display of reffing tonight.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

The Perry flop and the penalty to drai was just ridiculous on top of a dozen missed calls. Specifically obvious trips.

McDavid could have had a handfull of elbowing penalties in this game, for sure.

Your a whiner, complaining about refs in a a game like this is real beta energy

 

[Sniper99]

Somewhere Tim Peel watched this game. "Yeah I used to call stupid shit like that tonight. Those were the days"

As we saw last year with MTL vs PIT...... it's why Bergevin is committed to his roster of no gamebreakers because he thinks if game are officiated like this, you don't need a superstar player.
