Disagree that they were weak goals. Maybe you could make an argument for the first (though it was a perfect spot) he had no chance on the second.

There’s no way either of these 2 ref another game in these playoffs. Chris Lee shouldn’t be allowed to finish this game. This is embarrassing the NHL.

Does anyone know what hotel chris lee is staying in. Can we leave a flaming bag of dog poop in front of his door at 4 am?

Thanks for the reports. I'll update the forum to the latest software version when it's released later this week. Also glad to hear some of you are addicted to the forums. I'll start to charge you guys kidding

Nothing is 100% stopping transmission. Everything is about risk reduction. Lots of distance > less distance, mas > no mask. But continuous pulling down of masks when talking or yelling (and thus potentially spreading virus droplets) is just inane. Stop the charade already.

I get the same message, but refreshing doesn’t help. Able to connect again after 15-20 min. Tried other sites, and had no issues. I thought it could have been a. Issue with too much traffic.

Has the reffing been atrocious? 100%. But just play Devil's Advocate - the above figures, in themselves, in no way prove bias. The Habs may just be deservedly taking more penalties. To me, the real problem is less bias per se (although I do think that that exists) than wild inconsistency. They let everything go, then call a completely marginal BS call on Suzuki in Game 3, which they later "make up for" with a marginal call against VGK. The original sin is in letting everything go in the first place. That strategy ALWAYS leads to escalation - reaching a point where guys are punching each other in the face, or brutally cross-checking each other, right in front of the refs; and then everyone is left asking what the hell is going on. The cowardly determination "not to be a factor" leads to the refs being the center of discussion, and a game in which anything goes is a game in which the dirtiest team all too often wins. It also makes injuries much more likely. Incidentally, this is not the first playoff where a skill guy has been punched in the face in front of the ref without reprisal. Doesn't anyone remember Marchand punching Henrik Sedin repeatedly in the 2011 Final? (As for bias, it occurs, not because the ref has a childish fandom for one franchise over another, or because he's been paid off, but because some teams get a reputation among officials for "not playing the right way." The catalogue of sins can be long: maybe they whine too much; maybe they are known for diving, which as we all know is a vastly worse crime than brutally concussing someone; maybe they have a rep for stickwork; whatever. I do believe this particular Habs team is not well-beloved of refs. It goes back to the start of the season: remember how many penalties we took when we were tearing up the league in the first 15 games?)

Pacioretty 13 shots 0g 2a Suzuki 13 shots 0g 2a

Suzuki 3shots 7 hits. Anderson 2 shots 10 hits. Armia/Lehkonen seemed involved also. Gallagher 5 shots; but still shut out. Just 1 shot from the d. Edmundson led with 26:49. Down to a best of 3 now, i think 100% of us would of taken that before series started. A lot of complaining about the refs, why bother.

On to Game 5.. get a big road win and close it out at home.

First one is a tough save, but i expect Price to make it. He made three saves before the second one went in... how about the defence doesn't allow them to get a 4th shot on the same rebounds?

Man he has looked good in his own zone tonight

Mon - Caufield VgK - not picking one.

why play the back up when you have an all star. Do your thing Yvonne:

Yes, already have 9 more playoff wins than i expected would get.

Let's get on the NHL site about this sick refereeing. Never seen worse.

Even the commentators are killing the refs.. just come out flying boys!!

My biggest issue with all of this is someone is going to get hurt and we all know who Vegas is going to target.

I think his actions call for more than pranking. If this keeps up, and he's likely to call more of our games, he may need the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan style bonk on a kneecap.

That was a great period 👍 Staal or Perry gonna score 👍

Yep. Even though that drag to get to the centre didn't result in a goal, that's the first time in a while he has tried something other than driving the net. If he does that every now and then, it should plant the seed for their defence that he's willing to do it and maybe that buys him a little more room.

A much, much better first period, and they're getting in Lehner's face early. I expect that the pucks will go in sooner or later.

KK is looking better tonight as well. Not a bad period for the Habs. 3 fantastic scoring chances.

I read the next 2 Vegas players off the ice after Lehner were Dan O'Rourke and Chris Lee.
