PENALTIES GALOR,THE CANADIENS FALL IN GAME 2



Thought the game, the referees kept calling penalty after penalty on Montreal. In my opinion some calls should have not been made, for EX. Kovalev was called for hooking but he didn't even touch the guy.Then the Bruins went and scored to make the score be 3-1 (the Bruins would later to go on to win 5-1). When Gainey was asked what does your team have to do to stay out of the penalty box? He simply responded:"Listen to the coach."

As for the Bruins, the referees did not call a penalty on the Bruins until the last 5 minutes of the game.It seems to me that the ref. missed about 2 or 3 calls that should have been called on the Bruins. For EX. Milan Lucic crossed checked Saku Koivu in front of the net. I think if the ref. is going to call lots of penalties on the Habs I think they should at least call penalties that should be called on the Bruins.

"When you look at shots and scoring chances, they were pretty even," Gainey said. "But we give really good chances to score, we give opportunities on the power play against a team that's been a strong power play team all year long. So we walk into their strengths, and when we do that our goalie will be put into a vulnerable situation." Game 3 of this series will be in Montreal on Monday night at 7:08pm E.T on CBC,RDS and NESN.

P.S: The Bruins were 3 for 5 on the powerplay.
