The Canadiens have 43 shots on goal in 197:35 of game time over the last 3 games, an average of 13.1 shots per 60 minutes.
That's the fewest shots per 60 minutes by any NHL team over any 3-game span (reg or post) since shots were first tracked in 1955-56.
The blade gang is now playing street hockey with a crunched up @LabattUSA cans as pucks. Mid video, a fan with a Stanley Cup wearing the traditional white gloves shows up. What a city.
Asked Auston Matthews’ agent, Judd Moldaver about his response to the ruling.
Here is his reply:
“In light of the obvious severity of the play, I am disappointed and shocked the league would allow such a ruling. A phone hearing and 5 games is laughable and preposterous.
While the process is set in our CBA, that this was the discipline is reckless and ridiculous.
This decision results in a further loss of confidence in the disciplinary process for all players.
Players and fans deserve better. The Player Safety Department should be suspended.”
Matthews scoring 421 goals in 664 games is simply outrageous. Most electric Leaf of all time. Record books were put on notice the first game of his career.
