    I think I am still suffering from shock. Not from the loss, but from the officiating both on and off the ice. My wife barely watches hockey, and even she said "are you allowed to kick it in?" It was probably as clear a video replay of a goal kicked in as you will ever see. Another poster aptly referred to it as a soccer chip in. You don't need to kick as long as you direct your skate towards it and then angle it at the last second to propel the puck (ball in soccer) toward the goal. The suttle foot action directing the puck coupled with the speed the puck is traveling causes it to be sent into the net. Hence the deliberate foot motion is what caused the puck to change direction and go into the net. Thereofre it was kicked into the net on purpose, which my understanding is illegal. So, ok the refs missed it, no problem the war room will pick up on it right, and disallow it. Nope, good goal. This is why I am still stunned. Their ruling baffles my mind. Are you kidding me. Then I remebered they review these things in Toronto. Humans from Toronto deciding Montreal's fate. Wow, is that a recipe for disaster for us. And that's what we got. Screwed. Too bad one of the best games I've seen Montreal play in th epast few seasons. They deserved better. And one last thing those two icings late in the game. Brutal. Karlsson should be up for an academy for his slow mo speed to reach one icing, and the other Ottawa D man actually turned away from the puck and went on a different angle it seemed on the other arriving just a little late. Again brutal refereeing. I agree the NHL refs and linesman ar eprobably the worst of any sport. Tim Peel, Chris Lee, that guy Divorski, man they are so bad. Pittiful in fact. And what did we get for PP time tonight. Was it a couple or four minutes. There were so many interference penalties that could have gone against Ottawa tonight I lost track. They are masters at getting away with penalties. Again, very brutal and I feel bad for the habs tonight. Good luck in the series boys you can come back and win this thing yet. \"A cannonading blast from the wing, by Lafleur\"

    Likely not with the hefty contract he just signed. We're stuck with him. I say play Kaberle and buy out DD. Kaberle is only for one year, DD is another three. Aghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! \"A cannonading blast from the wing, by Lafleur\"

    Desharnais out Halpern in. DD can't win a draw let alone stick around for one, and Halpern was 58% in game two. Also, Halpern has size and speed and isn't afraid to win puck battles. No brainer. Enough of the DD project.It's over. mark is F for failure. Ryder and Pacioretty wake up. In the words of Jeremy Roenick WAKE UP, WAKE UP... this is the NHL not rec hockey. Use your size and hit something, go hard to the net, do something anything other than loafing around out there. \"A cannonading blast from the wing, by Lafleur\"

    Your opinion is based on what ? Tarot cards, weather charts, biometric pressure changes, stock market fluctuations. Stay off the site troll, we don't need any nay sayers on here. Predictions are for Lawyers and broadcasters anyways. Hockey fans, true supporters of their team always believe that their team will win. Obvioulsy your neither a fan or supporter. \"A cannonading blast from the wing, by Lafleur\"

    Great game played by the boys in game two. They actually achieved the result they should have obtained in game one. Difference was Price. Hope that the Price is Right continues through this round and the rest of the play-offs. A Great show to watch when it's on. They can play and skate with anyone, they just need that solid goaltending behind them. \"A cannonading blast from the wing, by Lafleur\"

    Paul MaClean epitomises the world of sport. Quick, stupid, smart ass remarks to make themselves look intelligent. Without any thought of how an appropriate answer might be warranted, especially in the case of Lars Eller, when he chose to use the situation as a chance to slam both habs players involved in the mishap. Go for the jugular eh, Paul. Your an idiot, but that is obvious I just have to look at you to know that. Walmart sells combs and shaving kits if you don't know. What a moron. Anyone who has so little respect for themselves, which is rather obvious, can't help but not respect anyone else either. I can't emphasize enough only a moron would make those comments or attire themselves in that fashion. Idiot. \"A cannonading blast from the wing, by Lafleur\"
