dlbalr Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 They put up a lot more pressure than usual at the end. A good final push overall, hopefully that can carry over into tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 At least they broke the 20 shot threshold If they played the 50 like the last 10 maybe they get some wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky had like 4 silver platter chances and missed on every single one. He had a tough game for sure but at least he was trying. Refs were pretty bad this game uneven calls for sure.

dlbalr Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Did anybody catch what happened to Danault? He didn't play at all in the second half of the period (that's why Galchenyuk moved up). It wasn't a benching either - he wasn't on the bench.

BCHabnut Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Turned out to be an entertaining game. Against power house teams, your role player need to chip in some points. Rad and Pacioretty are two players. One of the other 10 forwards should try scoring. Borokovski goal on Price was a weak one. He lets in too many easy ones these days.

It was a high stick, he went to the locker room to get stitches. Just another one of the many non calls from the refs in the third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was all over Oshie stripped him of the puck and then got called. I get refs like to call holding but that was really weak.

That was more the issue than poor calls. That was a deserved call on Shaw, he was all over him and grabbed him or appeared to anyways.

Thats not completely true there are plenty of games we have won that I have questioned the refs and it's true sometimes the pendulum swings both ways but in the case of Montreal they brought up a statistic during the game that the Habs are dead last in a PP to PK ratio. Which leads me to believe however small it may be that the refs do have a certain bias when it comes to Montreal Canadiens players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I wonder if the ratio is more a symptom of the dump and chase game. They are often chasing pucks and chasing people with the puck. It's hard to draw a penalty when you never have possession of the puck in dangerous areas. MT likes to dump chase and work the puck below the goal line until an opportunity arises. There's no point hooking someone who has the puck behind the goal line. Habs have posession of the puck mostly on their side of the red line. Then they dump it, then they work it below the goal line. All low danger areas. When they are creating turnovers in the neutral zone, they are able to draw penalties, but for whatever reason, I haven't seen much of that lately.

They brought up the stat to show how poorly the Habs are drawing penalties vs lack of discipline. Not how biased refs are vs Habs..which is foolish.
