Todd: Canadiens watch win slip away on botched calls, suspect net work
Todd: Canadiens watch win slip away on botched calls, suspect net work
While dreadful refs had huge impact on Oilers' comeback, Samuel Montembeault came up short when a big save could have stopped the bleeding.

Todd: Canadiens watch win slip away on botched calls, suspect net work
And to be clear... sometimes one team just takes more penalties in a game; it's not up to the refs to even out the number of power plays. BUT when a lot of the calls are marginal shit that happens just about every shift by both teams, then one team taking more feels like a fucking choice. #GoHabsGo

No one expects refs to let you get away with an obvious penalty just because they've fucked up a previous call. But when they CHOOSE to make an utterly marginal call after THAT, and it ends in a goal… maybe following THAT up with a penalty for being annoyed about it… maybe fuck you. #GoHabsGo

The Canadiens crushed the Oilers 5-on-5 but they were no match for the refs 19-on-2.

Call of the Wilde: Montreal Canadiens fall to the Edmonton Oilers - Montreal | Globalnews.ca
The Montreal Canadiens ability to keep the puck out of their own net this season has been a huge key to their six wins in eight starts, but the Oilers can flip that switch.

The Canadiens were playing great in the first period. They were in complete control of this game. So how did they lose 6-5 after going up 5-3 early in the third period? Eric Engels walks you through i...

Not being results based should cut both ways. There have been a few wins this season where the Canadiens needed to realize their process was off. Last night’s loss to Edmonton was the other side of that coin: www.nytimes.com/athletic/674...
Canadiens loss in Edmonton showed more growth than many of their wins
From a five-on-five, a game management, and a consistency perspective, the Canadiens can look at a loss to the Oilers as a building block.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.
