Officiating remains a joke in the Canadiens vs. Golden Knights series | Eyes On The Prize
This is from a Canadiens’ SBNation site, so let’s preface this by saying there have been some ATROCIOUS blown calls both ways. But the fact that officiating has been a consistent storyline throughout this postseason isn’t a good look on the league. And if we’re being honest, officiating was a sketchy topic even towards the end of the regular season, dating back to the Tom Wilson situation.

These aren’t ticky-tack no-calls either; the type that you would say “yeah, that was 50/50… maybe that’s called in the regular season.” These are blatant penalties being missed that could potentially swing a game. The league needs to find a way to fix this… and fast.
