Playoff GDT: Round 3, Game 3 Canes @ Habs 5/25 8:00

Habs looking worn down. The young legs thing can only last so long, and It looks like the power play is their only weapon right now. Games every other night won't help.

Keep the machine running boys!

Those zebras let an elbow to the head on Hutson by Chadwick go on the turnover. You need to balance things out man.

The officiating has been horrid and it cuts both ways. You’ll see bad calls then ticky-tac calls get made to clean up messes. Refs don’t want any off ice input and fight the thought of having an observer chime in. The NHLPA never says boo about the refs (or their own dirty players) and any time any one else calls out the refs they’re slapped with fine.
 
It would have been fun to see the NHL go to the ACC Network model of the officials mic'd up to break down and discuss that too many men on the ice blunder...if you take a closer look at that play, the linesman clearly sees and calls the penalty correctly for too many men, somehow, some way those two clowns that wear the orange stripes overruled the guy and said no penalty. I get that their are judgment calls all game long on hits and slashes and boarding, interference etc...but that is not a judgment call, that is simply a penalty at every level of hockey known to man, especially when the guy that came off the bench as the sixth man plays the puck before the guy gets to the bench...how can four guys that are trained to be the best in the sport to officiate a game change something that clear cut and obvious and the league thinks it's ok and acceptable? You can wax on all day long about many things in hockey for judgment calls but not for something like that which is so blatantly obvious on that play.

Montreal didn’t have a shot on goal in the last ~24 minutes of game time. Their last shot was at 9:54 of the 3rd, it ended at 14:04 of OT.

And there is this. There have been 1,026 playoff OT games in history. The Habs have been held to the fewest and 3rd fewest shots ever.

The NHL will never allow mics on officials. It will 100% prove how incompetent they are and/or which team they are favoring. No one wants to see the hot dogs being made or NHL officials trying to figure out the difference between spearing and slashing

Former Cane Evgeny Kuznetsov and future Cane Justin Poirier were in the building last night. One is from Quebec and it sorta kinda makes sense. They other came a very long way for a playoff game.

Evgeny is obviously the one from Quebec. Traditional French name and all. (Coming from a guy who's entire family migrated from Quebec to Massachusetts - my last name is more traditional for that area though lol)

I couldn't believe my ears on the amount of love that Edzo was showering on the Canes last night...

It was definitely against his normal form of proxy-slagging us all night on behalf of RF and his brother who were soooooo unjustly dismissed by the team (did I mention that they built this Hurricanes team from SPHL players and duct tape?)

They weasled out of the penalty by claiming that the guy didn't actually make a play on the puck. He sure as hell didn't try to get out of the way! Ridiculous.
