The NHL needs to place the second referee off the ice with video review. The unintentional hit to the head on AC was definitely a play that needs to be reviewed. The game is too fast. That’s a headshot in every other sport. Watch international rugby with VAR; it’s excellent and quick.

Jack, I couldn’t be prouder of this young group. They are still learning every shift. Anyone who writes them off at this point doesn’t understand what a rebuild is. And you can’t reason with those people so you just move on. Regardless of the outcome of next game

jimmygallant.bsky.social•26 days ago

People ripping this team don’t know shit about anything. Not worth your time.

leftysocially.bsky.social•25 days ago

Stuff happens, learning curves evolve, mistakes happen, mysteriously calls are made and not made, goalies are pulled seemingly way too early yet so many times it ends up proving that opinion wrong🤷
This team is something and only going to get better fast!
How Ovi ends up with just 2 was odd to me

marcbastien.bsky.social•26 days ago

This team is giving us a hell of a good show and is fighting with everything they got. This is just the beginning and the best is yet to Come. This serie isn’t finish yet!

tonykwan.bsky.social•26 days ago

Youngest team in the playoffs holding their own while getting hosed on calls and non-calls. Did people think we’re winning the Cup this year? Time for some folks to get a reality check

36reinbacher.bsky.social•25 days ago

We save the ripping for the refs.

corporategamer.bsky.social•26 days ago

Just sucks as this game they should have won. But because of bad reffing as usual it ruins a game. Just a shame. Not ripping this team at all. Playoffs were. A bonus this season

philmccracken69.bsky.social•26 days ago

HABS IN SEVEN!!!!!!

edoreilly.bsky.social•25 days ago

Ripping the officiating in this series seems appropriate,though

jtschritter.bsky.social•26 days ago

Not that time at all! They’re playing their hearts out with little to no playoff experience. Being down sucks, but really each loss was a 1 goal game. You can’t ask for anything more.

jeepv.bsky.social•26 days ago

So true

davidtrott13.bsky.social•25 days ago

There was nothing about last night that experience won’t help. Just look at the age of HutDemiSlaf and Dobeš. Wow 🤩.

jacktodd.bsky.social•25 days ago

Absolutely.

habsbeatles29.bsky.social•26 days ago

What’s all this negative Nancy bullshit? They win the next game….get back to Bell Centre and it’s back on.

artie2twos.bsky.social•26 days ago

Not sure what people are ripping. The Habs have hung tough with the #1 seed. The team is learning on the fly and the youngsters are playing key roles. You can be disappointed in the outcome. But they have played some pretty good hockey against a savy veteran team that has more weapons.

farmbroke.bsky.social•25 days ago

Your right but constructive criticism is still alive and well.

jacktodd.bsky.social•25 days ago

I'm not seeing constructive. Just a whole lotta bitching.

mvp77.bsky.social•25 days ago

Absolutely! Not ideal by any means to be down 3-1 in series but this has been one helluva series! Full confidence that will find a way to send this series back to Montreal!

zenwanderer.bsky.social•25 days ago

Totally agree.

What an effort from this great, young, improving team.

Very bad reffing, again

AND

great diving and embellishing by the Caps.

azaccara.bsky.social•26 days ago

You can’t rip a team that’s gone above and beyond expectations. A team that should be fun to watch for the next decade barring injuries.

grandpa58.bsky.social•25 days ago

Right, the series is not over, they have been written off a few times this past season and then turned it around with some solid win streaks, like in December, after the 4 nations and end of season. 3 wins in a row with this group is doable, but if we don’t, the future is bright

seekingsanity33232.bsky.social•26 days ago

Certainly isn't, but that's what those types of so-called fans always do. It's all they really want to do. If the team wins instead of being happy they're searching for things to bitch about.

moeman61.bsky.social•25 days ago

Although he's put in place a very effective team off and on the ice, Geoff Molson sees to rip the refs via a discussion with Bettman. Simply refuse to share his team's revenues with the poor NHL teams.

jacktodd.bsky.social•25 days ago

What? How does this turn into an attack on Molson? The league decides how revenue is shared, not the Canadiens.

moeman61.bsky.social•25 days ago

I know, just venting.

jacktodd.bsky.social•25 days ago

No problem.

mikeybr12.bsky.social•25 days ago

You are 100% correct. Love this group. and maybe, just maybe, they drag 'em back to Montreal for Game 6?!?! Would that not be a crazy atmosphere? #habs

adlemm.bsky.social•25 days ago

They played an incredible game and got completely jobbed by the refs. Another embarrassing game for the NHL, but a very bright future for the Habs

jclement514.bsky.social•26 days ago

Rip the reffing, fine. But for a young team expected to finish near the bottom of the league to be dragged into the playoffs largely by their young core and making things hard on the 1st place team in all 4 games, leave the players alone and enjoy every minute they give us these playoffs.

oms1.bsky.social•26 days ago

Agreed. Mistakes were made and that'll come with time.
Now the reffing....

debnadiens.bsky.social•26 days ago

It's crazy not to be proud of them

dreammaker33.bsky.social•26 days ago

@jacktodd.bsky.social 💯

marcbricault10.bsky.social•26 days ago

The avg age of those who got points tonight is...20 years old.
Game 1 was lost in OT.
This game could've, would've, should've.
The learnings are priceless. The future looks awesome.
This will be fun.
And hey, weren't we down 3-1 in round 1 four years ago?!?
#GoHabsGo

mikeybr12.bsky.social•25 days ago

and 15 years ago against same team...
