Montreal defeats Ottawa 4 games to 2

[JustAHabFan]

Is there really this much debate if Pageau stops after hearing the whistle and doesn't put the puck in the net?

This is my point also.

It was a high stick but it deflected on the Sens skate so the play continues.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Tough luck with the reffing but Ottawa had plenty of opportunity to get one back with their power play opportunities, couldn't capitalize.

[MOD] He kept playing because he's a gamer and a good player. Still useful but no shot, which was a major weapon.

When did I say he wasn't hurt? I said it was exaggerated.

FYI:

Stone's Shots per game in regular season: 2
In playoffs: 1.5

Habs won because they scored one goal and shut out the other team in a 1-1 game thanks to Chris Lee.

Let's not sugar coat it.

Habs caught a lucky break.

sugar coat the sour grapes?

Price stole a game just like Anderson managed to steal one, only difference is, Price stole it to end the series

 

[Sensin5]

To be fair, that still shows Gilbert leaning forward making his shoulders lower. He's also leaning forward. No one can say that that is clearly a high stick, or not. It's up in the air. The linesman viewed it as a clean play.

Puck was swung at with stick like a bat and was propelled forward. I saw it at the time and was stunned it wasn't blown dead. Figures it lead eventually to the goal.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

This. I don't get the hate MT gets. If the Habs just play tight tight defensive hockey, the combination of Price and the refs will tilt things in their favor. They have nothing on their team.

Think about it.

What would that say about the Senators if it was true?

 

[llamateizer]

The still makes it pretty clear imo.

Serious Question

The high stick call is made if the puck is hit above the shoulder.

Is it the height of the shoulder (inclined player) at the moment of the puck touches the stick? Or is it when he is straight

 

[Dick Whitman]

Because we see a kicking motion. And you don't.

Change his shirt to a red white and blue one. Now what do you see?

 

[Unclewhalebone]

Sens fans who think we always benefit from the reffing need to watch this.

Very similar actually. Long shot. Goalie thinks he has it but doesnt. Ref on the far side. Blown dead and immediately put in. Playoff game. Tight game.

 

[Sensin5]

That may be the reason, but I didn't see that at the time or on replay. Doesn't matter now.

He was very active in the series though. Might not have been able to finish on any of his efforts but he was hardly invisible throughout.

I don't know the statistics but I think he did fairly well in the face-off circle despite the Habs' overall dominance of it.

 

[CH25]

The TVA love-fest for him was extremely nauseating. I didn't understand at all why they kept talking about him all the time like he was Crosby or something. He was a non-factor all series.

 

[Whitesnake]

Not a distant kicking motion while you see one.

Stone's shots per game in the last 40 games when he was getting 1st line minutes as opposed to the 3rd and 4th line at the beginning of the season : 3.5

How about the Karlsson meter on the top right every 50 seconds?

Never understood him being sent back this year. Should be a permanent fixture. But will need to bring it somewhat offensively. Should be a regular on PP though as well.

I'm just happy we don't have to see that for 1 more game.

Maybe so but the guy didn't even flinch when blasting it on Price a few times.

Regardless, didn't say he wasn't injured. I said it wasn't as bad as it seems because they played him even more. That is fact.

 

[Dick Whitman]

Ha, you're probably not wrong.

Um his family name wasn't a clue?

Is there a gif of PK and Stone shaking hands?

 

[Krautso]

Glad it's over but it was an entertaining series.

Great run Sens fans, it's too bad they played the Habs first round, I would have been cheering for them against anyone else. Good young team with a bright future for sure.

For sure. THey had their chances. Blown calls or not, Price was stellar. The Sens put themsevles in a position where Price stealing a game or a couple bad calls could cost them the series.

Still though its a young team and they showed a lot of character. As a Sens fan Im thrilled with what the team has done the past couple of months and Im excited to see what happens going forward.

These guys are only going to get better. THats exciting as hell
