Refs put whistles away late in last night’s game for “game management” and “not affecting the result”. St Ivany’s hit on Veleno was interference, not “incidental contact”, and PIT committed at least two penalties in OT - remember Evans’ penalty last week? #habs #gohabsgo

Am I the only one who thinks that it’s weird to make jokes about players on your favourite team getting injured? #habs #gohabsgo

Remember the soft OT penalty call against Jake Evans last week? #habs #gohabsgo

I don’t think Craig Burton knows the meaning of “incidental”. #habs #gohabsgo

Screw you Apple TV… #habs #gohabsgo

The leg whip tackle is a penalty in every sport except hockey I guess… #habs #gohabsgo

Hey @arponbasu.bsky.social. Would you rather agree with your employer to go your separate ways? Or have your employer be willing to pay you to go away? @magodin.bsky.social #habs #gohabsgo

Too many men and shooting your teammate’s stick back to him are “so-called automatic” penalties in the NHL. No discretion. Except tonight I guess. #habs #gohabsgo

You’re not allowed to pass the goalie’s stick back to him by sliding it along the ice with your stick. You can kick it up and hand it to him, but you can’t “shoot” it to him. Another rule the NHL refs don’t know. #habs #gohabsgo

Can Martin St Louis keep his job for another couple days? 🟣⚪️🔴 Est-ce que Martin St Louis va pouvoir garder sa job encore quelques jours?

How will the Canadiens respond to this Edmonton push late in the game? Here is a chance to show some maturity… #habs #gohabsgo

Holding the stick is, apparently, no longer a penalty in the NHL. #habs #gohabsgo

Anderson trying to chase the puck. Nurse trying to impede his path. Anderson moves to go around. Nurse alters his course to get in the way. Anderson tries to avoid contact with Nurse. Holding Anderson. #habs #gohabsgo #oilers

What a fuckin clown show? #habs #gohabsgo

How is that a kick? #habs #gohabsgo

Nobody dives like Connor McDavid. #habs #gohabsgo #oilers

Here we go… #habs #gohabsgo

If you’re criticizing Marty St Louis after last night’s loss to NYR, you know nothing about hockey and need to turn in your fan card. 🔴⚪️🟣 Si tu critiques Marty St‑Louis après la défaite d’hier contre NYR, tu connais pas l’hockey pis t’as besoin de remettre ta carte de fan. #habs #gohabsgo

NHL refs win another one… #habs #gohabsgo

Told ya so. #habs #gohabsgo

NHL refs are a disaster. I’ll keep saying it… #habs #gohabsgo

Am I the only one who thinks there should be a correlation between puck possession (Corsi or otherwise) and penalties drawn - by team or player? @hockeyviz.com @evolvingwild.evolving-hockey.com @dimfilipovic.bsky.social @arponbasu.bsky.social @naturalstattrick.com @moneypuck.bsky.social

Can someone explain to me how a team with a 66 Corsi% ended up with twice as many penalties called against it than its opponent? 🔴⚪️🟣 Est-ce que quelqu’un peut m’expliquer comment une équipe avec 66% de Corsi a fini avec deux fois plus de pénalités contre elle que son adversaire? #habs #gohabsgo

Half of Pittsburgh’s shots and shot attempts, plus 70% of their expected goals, came with the man advantage last night. At 5 on 5, Montreal outshot the Pens 27-15, had a 57 Corsi% and a 66 xGF%. #habs #gohabsgo

Based on the standard set by these refs, there were six penalties against Pittsburgh during that last segment of play. No calls. #habs #gohabsgo

NHL refs... I get that was a penalty of Engström, but where have all the other calls been? Are you telling me that the team that's dominating puck possession for two and a half periods has committed twice as many penalties as their opponent. Make it make sense. #habs #gohabsgo

Offside reviews in the NHL are stupid and unnecessary anyway. Can anyone tell me the last time a goal was scored because a player gained an advantage by being offside? Get rid of them... #habs #gohabsgo

NHL rules and officiating are a disaster. There is zero chance anyone can look at that play and say that, without a doubt, Josh Anderson was offside. That's the standard - incontrovertible evidence that the call on the ice should be overturned. #habs #gohabsgo

I hope this works… 🔴⚪️🟣 J’espère que ca va fonctionner… #habs #gohabsgo

Canadiens fans right now… #habs #gohabsgo

Canadiens fans have activated panic mode. 🔴⚪️🟣 Les partisans des Canadiens ont activé le mode panique. #habs #gohabsgo

Calling up Jacob Fowler could be a massive mistake. I don’t like it. #habs #gohabsgo

Sometimes 59 minutes is not enough… #habs #gohabsgo

After last night’s phantom tripping call against Noah Dobson, you have to wonder what rule book the referees in tonight’s game (one of whom made the phantom call) are working from. #habs #gohabsgo

That move by Texier in the shootout was the same one he used at the end of his first practice with the Habs. He didn’t pull it out against the Jets on Wednesday night, but saved it for the big stage tonight. #habs #gohabsgo

Canadiens deserved that win in regulation time. Nice to see their efforts rewarded in a big game on a big stage. This will go a long way in their development into a contending team. #habs #gohabsgo

I can’t wait to hear all the casual fans complaining about Joe Veleno being on the ice for the Canadiens in overtime… #habs #gohabsgo

Max Domi is such a bad hockey player. #habs #gohabsgo #leafsforever

I guess the referees didn’t put their whistles away for the rest of the game after all. The NHL is the only professional sports league where the players have to play without knowing what the rules are. #nhl #habs #gohabsgo #leafsforever

Punch in the face after the whistle. No call. #habs #gohabsgo #leafsforever

Stick to the face of Matheson. No call. #habs #gohabsgo #leafsforever

I thought that if you took your hand off your stick and put it on your opponent it was an automatic holding penalty. What happened to that? #habs #gohabsgo #leafsforever

One thing that scares about this Habs team is their ability to dominate a game and not get the deserved results. It only takes one goal by the opponent to undo all that great play. #habs #gohabsgo

Ref screws up tripping call on Dobson, then compounds his incompetence with a soft make-up call on Tavares. Only in the NHL. #habs #gohabsgo #leafsforever

The Habs get Garrett Rank on a Saturday night against his hometown Maple Leafs. What could possibly go wrong? 🔴⚪️🔵 Le CH aura Garrett Rank pour un match de samedi soir contre son équipe natale, les Maple Leafs. Qu'est-ce qui pourrait mal tourner? #GoHabsGo #Habs

Boycott the World Cup. #fifa #trump #worldcup #soccer

Pierre Houde lamenting that its "hard to find someone to blame" in tonight's game explains a lot about the way he thinks about hockey. #habs #goihabsgo #RDS

Where are all the Joe Veleno haters at? #Habs #GoHabsGo

How was that not a penalty on Lowry? #Habs #GoHabsgo

What does Sam Montembeault’s -0.52 GSAX in last night’s game say about the narrative around his goaltending? 🟣🔴⚪️ Que dit le GSAX de -0,52 de Sam Montembeault lors du match d’hier soir sur le récit entourant son rôle de gardien de but? #habs #gohabsgo
