Doesn't really change anything related to the ref issue. As the studios guys said, its just one of those things that happen in hockey. If Caps lost the game, it would have been "the" reffing subject, right or wrong (or intentionally as you state)

Showing up for 20 minutes isn't the refs fault. Let's be real. The Habs have been incredibly fortunate over the last month to have come back and tied/won games late in the 3rd that the odds suggest are very unlikely and simply won't continue. They have been the recipient of a lot of fortunate bounces.
The blame does not like in the whistle (that way too often cascades across the Bell center every time they feel hard done by), the true blame is not showing up for the drop of the puck.

After reading these posts, "Hallelujah, I have come to see the light".
- the Habs have been royally screwed by the refs,
- this screw job has been intentional
- it has been done at the bidding of the NHL
- because Gary Bettman and the entire NHL organization based in Toronto, Canada doesn't want Montreal [a Canadian team and original 6 member] to have any success in the playoffs.
Were it nor for this abominable display of anti-Montreal bias on the part of these human beings, this would clearly be a 2-0 Montreal lead and the Caps would be on the ropes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for helping me see how egregious this has been.

God. Reading this thread is enough to give anyone gas.
Yes, the refs have been bad. But the refs have been bad BOTH ways. There are tons of penalties that weren't called on the Habs either.
And guess what? That happens EVERY year in EVERY playoffs. You either suck it the F up, or you go the F home. That's it. That's all there is to it.

It truly is amazing to me how a player as bad as Laine (who’s been a bad hockey player since 2020 at the latest) can have such a fanbase on here. He’s a poor player effort wise, defensively, and just overall. Yes, he has a wicked world class shot. But outside of that? He brings you nothing.
I get he was a super prospect and his first few years were electric. But the guy has nothing but baggage with him. He’s not a great locker room guy either.
Once this contract ends for him, he’ll probably still stick in the NHL Just based off his shot and size (which he doesn’t use) but probably just short term deals. Hes an absolute line dragging player.
If I was Montreal I’d only play him on the powerplay and as little minutes 5on5 as possible. And if he’s pissed about it, then he can be healthy scratched.

He is no longer capable of even playing on the powerplay unfortunately

Meh. He scored plenty of PPG this year. Maybe he’s currently hurt. But he looks atrocious.
The point being this is hockey. It sounds weird to be handwaving that a guy was bleeding in an nhl playoff game.

Okay I'll make thus obvious. Is it okay to cross check players in the face with enough force to draw blood?

He definitely looks the worst he's ever looked all year and probably all career right now

so was phil kessel and he won the cup 3 times. with the right roster, it could work
My guy I’ve already said I’m sympathetic with Habs fans for one or two of those cross checks. It’s just weird how much yall are clinging to them. There was 60 minutes of actual hockey last night too.
And handwaving about “blood being drawn” just gives off overzealous youth hockey parent energy. It’s the playoffs man. There will be blows both directions as there already has been. There will be blood.

Welcome to the playoffs again Habs. Unfortunately you drew a team that plays with an Edge which means you'll get screwed with officiating. For whatever reason the rayuffs (and some in this thread) think games need to be called evenly for it to be fairly called. Some teams take advantage of that, Caps being one, and take liberties all game hoping they still get evenly called series.

Let's change it to blood drawn to requiring dental corrections? Gallagher is getting his face fixed from an illegal play the league has just said that fine to.

Laine doesn't just look bad he's playing scared. His psychology doesn't seem suited to playing in these type of games. If you're scared to make a mistake you will make 10x more mistakes.

This. Caps fans have whined for years about goalie interferences i.e. 2008 vs. Philly or 2010 vs. MTL or insert a half dozen other times. Guess what, never should have let it come down to that in a Game 7. They weren't good enough and got sent home.

No penalty was awarded and no fine handed out. The league saying nothing is them being fine with it

Laine taking a lot of heat, but if I were a Habs fan I’d be way more steamed about how Hutson’s shot is so bad that teams practically don’t cover him on the PP.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that

No penalty being awarded is a long way from the league saying they are OK with it. You are just being hyperbolic.
