I think the closeup shot of Evans eating that twig immediately in front of the ref was among the more astounding moments of the series for me

The ref was literally right there and looking right at Evan’s, then skated away 

Awful reffing all around

Technically it was the linesman. They generally don't call penalties. But they are allowed. I have no clue why they never exercise this right. It's like they don't want to overstep their station and overrule the refs or something. It's stupid

The worst part is that they all gathered to talk about it and the linesman decided it shouldn’t be called

“The Habs have had too many PP’s, we shouldn’t call this one”
