Meh. Could have been offensive pass interference too. It was a good non-call.

agreed

The awesome part about the call yesterday is that we have to sit around and listen to all the Sens fan whine like there's no tomorrow. If the show were on the other foot, we'd just be called typical Habs whiners.

The call against Benoit was terrible, but the Habs outplayed them for 2 periods before this. I feel the same way when I hear the Packers fans complain about the Seattle game. Green Bay didn't get jobbed at the end. They allowed Rogers to get sacked 8 times in that game and he almost got them a comeback win. The call at the end sucked, but there were at least 4-5 calls against Seattle that were horrendous to get the game to that point.

Refs being part of a conversation like this is a bigger deal that the actual game results, who tend to finish as they should anyways. For another example of this, see San Fran yesterday. Whine about the pass interference all you want, Baltimore outplayed them for 3 quarters and deserved to win, even if I do despise Lewis.

Usually, more we hate them, more we would take them on our team.
But you're right.

Regardless of whether there were bad calls before that for either team, Green Bay DID get jobbed by a bad call at the end. That call was upheld because the refs were a bunch of pussies who were worried about getting shot in the parking lot after the game if they overturned it.

EDIT: I'm not a Packers fan.

Is he crying?

LOL...on Saturday, there was this one shift where the puck just kept bouncing back to him...he had like 3 bad passes and 2 turnovers before he managed to "throw it" far enough and skate to the bench...LOL...pure on-ice comedy.

Are you nuts?

Must suck to be John Scott.

Nobody ever wants to play with him.

After he knocked the crybaby diver Subban down the other Hab player came and then thought better of it when he realized it was Big Bad John. Looked like he saw a ghost.

Having Scott is priceless. []

I did find that amusing, three canadiens came over. Scott looked at them like, "yea what of it?" it looked like they all simultaneously looked at each other. " I thought you were gonna take him!". Lol

He is a difference maker according to the Garth group...

"Let me provide you with my ruling on the two goalkeeper interference penalties that were called on Super Bowl Sunday in the Ottawa-Montreal game.

There might have been some desire by the Referee to set a firm standard on avoiding contact with the goalkeeper just 24 seconds into the game when Tomas Plekanec lightly bumped into Craig Anderson (video link - incident 12 seconds in). I viewed the play differently on my first look and would not have assessed a penalty. As Plekanec was moving toward the top of the goal crease through the middle of the ice, the stick of Sens defenceman Kyle Turris was placed through the legs of the Montreal forward.

This opened Plekanec's stride/skate position and reduced Plekanec's ability to stop with both skates. Plekanec's one legged stop with pressure still being applied by Turris resulted in a light bump with Craig Anderson. After receiving the contact, Anderson used it to his full advantage and bumped backward into the crossbar and knocked the net off its moorings.

At this point, I would have blown the whistle for the net being dislodged and no penalty would be assessed. The resulting faceoff would occur in the Sens' end zone on the dot to the left of goalie Craig Anderson. My rational for this is that the application of Kyle Turris's stick between the legs of Tomas Plekanec prevented the Montreal player from executing a full and effective stop prior to the light contact on Anderson. I believe Plekanec made a "reasonable effort to avoid such contact." In addition, the net was dislodged through some embellishment by Anderson and therefore the faceoff would remain in the Ottawa end zone.

At the other end of the ice, I would have allowed the Senator goal (video link) to stand when Carey Price moved to establish a position well outside of his goal crease and in the process "incidental" contact resulted with Jakob Silfverberg. The Ottawa Sens forward was fronting the puck and positioned at least two to three feet outside of Price's goal crease.

As the shot came toward the goal, Silfverberg turned with the shot resulting in incidental contact between himself and Carey Price. The contact was initiated more by Carey Price than the actions of Silfverberg. Rule 69.1 supports this decision where it states, "Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact."

I believe Carey Price was the second most surprised player on the ice, after Jakob Silfverberg of course, when the Referee disallowed this goal and assessed a goalie interference penalty on the play.

Not a stellar night for contact in and around the goal crease. Fortunately, there was no pass interference to call. "

I found the game pretty boring to tell you the truth.

Maybe because Latendresse was not playing?

Habs are better at 5on5, PP and PK than the Leafs/Jets.


Sucks to be you!
