Last night, after the Montreal Canadiens’ game against the Edmonton Oilers, things got heated during the post-game press conferences.

“The refs kind of took over the game there and kudos to them for winning it.”

– Cole Caufield

And now, for a very rare occasion, head coach Martin St-Louis also had a lot to say about last night’s officiating.

Martin St-Louis makes an unexpected request to the NHL: review the game footage from Edmonton

“Habs coach Marty St. Louis on if he ever got an explanation from the referee on Josh Anderson‘s “unsportsmanlike conduct” penalty:”

“Not really. They don’t really come and talk to.” – Martin St-Louis

“We watch video and we try to get better as a group. I hope the league has the same process as coaches do,” says Martin St. Louis

Yes, Martin St-Louis said he hopes the NHL will review the officiating footage.

Will this rather unusual request be well received by the league’s executives?

In short, I can’t wait to see the fallout from all this – it’s been a very long time since we’ve seen so many reactions after a game regarding the refereeing.

Let’s not forget that the Montreal Canadiens lost in regulation by a score of 6-5 against the Edmonton Oilers, and Martin St-Louis’ squad will be back in action tomorrow night against the Vancouver Canucks.
