It really makes no sense at all. Didn’t work game 2. Fine, OT loss. Didn’t work game 3. Fine, OT loss. Embarrassing game 4. So let’s roll out the same lines in game 5. It’s just so sad. Zero care.
This could be the absolute worst coached series in the history of the league. Embarrassing by MSL. MSL was 10/10 all season with this team and forgot how to coach in the ECF. No care. No adjustments. Nothing. Kinda surprising. #Habs
@ESPNRefNHL@rayferraro21@HabsLinks I will add as well that I think we have having 2 different debates in one. Should a high stick be called? Absolutely. Is embellishing and “diving” ruining the game? I think so…
@ESPNRefNHL@rayferraro21@HabsLinks Yes & no. Tons of missed calls every game. Unlike some leagues, the NHL trusts refs and doesn’t go to video much for penalties. Misses happen. Should coaches be able to challenge a missed high stick? Different convo.
@ESPNRefNHL@rayferraro21@HabsLinks Watching it over & over again looking at the referee.. just can’t agree. Trying to be rational. How about this. Let’s leave the referee out of this. Watch James. He has a step on 91. High stick happens. Continues playing and only starts acting once the pass doesn’t get through.
