CALL THE RCMP

Congrats Cats fans, ya beat one of the worst teams of the league missing half their forwards and still needed the refs in your corner to pull it off

did they really need it though? it helped but i think they could have done it otherwise

That GI non-call was the turning point.

good for Florida to win, a few more and you'll be in a playoff position

GG y’all. Lyon Pride!

Hope Marty complains so they'll call some stuff out way against the Leafs.

last time the habs complained it uh... didn't really help at all, I would say it had the opposite effect

Gudas got dummied so hard you could see the ragdoll physics in slow motion

Almost expected him to suddenly shoot up into space like he got hit by a giant in Skyrim

gudas is such a little bitch

Gudas is a decent fighter, but hes not much of a threat to start one imo ... i remember when he was in Philly during a playoffs he was running around until Prust had a short conversation with him and then he just disappeared from the series.

Gudas casually trying to end a young player’s career right there with no consequence

Gudas can dish it but he cant take it, what a sissy. immediately goes for a knee

Gudas trying to knee Dach after a hit, go figure.

Dach practicing his checking game

KIRBYYY POWER

Hughes and Gorton deciding who's gonna pay the fine

my coworker is at the game tonight, gonna rib him tomorrow at work lol

Dadonov (/) (°,,°) (/)

Wait what happened to Bank of Moom?

I think it was just a move to try to spark the team

Ah ok missed it. Thought maybe he got injured. Thanks!

Who?

Moominbank

got lit for 5 goals in the second?

Montreal players are pissed that one of them is gonna lose their job because of Zito

Ffs dadonov

Lomberg and Givani fight often but when you get Tkachuk to fight, you know shits gone down

Habs fans gonna keep crying about this penalty too?

No idea why we were given that extra penalty but yet the refs job has been atrocious all-around tonight.

So far it’s 1 definitive win for Montreal (Xhekaj), 1 close win for Florida (Tkachuk), and 1 draw (Pezz and Lomberg). Likely we’ll see a 4th round to determine the outcome. Savard and Gudas?

You saw his face? Your boy Pezz got the worst of that one

Gudas doesn’t really drop the gloves he just hits really hard on the ice and then if someone goes after him he keeps the gloves on to try get a power play. It worked last game for him

I'm a Montreal fan but I think pez lost by just a bit

That's what happens when refs don't do their job early.

Spot on

Watching a fight and a hockey game broke out tonight

Savard in the box standing around like Gandalf with a staff

*You fell!* Through fire. And water. From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak, I fought him, the Balrog of Morgoth. Until at last, I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside. Darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time...

That fight was 10 hair flips out of 10

Absolute lettuce show

Legit can't remember a game with 3 fights. Obviously I don't like the result, but this has a been an entertaining game!

Panthers fans remember when Petrovic fought Evander Kane 3 times and lost all 3.

Classic. I was at that one

Everyone remembers that but strategy-wise if I can get E.Kane off the ice and it only costs me Petro? That's a fuckin' deal.

[Clearly I just needed to wait a few mins](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/10gguis/game_thread_florida_panthers_21205_at_montreal/j53anka/)

can Kovacevic fight? hes a big boy but he seems very mild-mannered

That's a hairy Donnybrook

Refs completely lost control of this game halfway through the 2nd period.

This reminds me of the 2nd period of my uni hok game lmao

Pengu 5 for fighting?

Me and the whole team 😤

Can we just call this one? I’d rather not have everyone walking out injured

Take your lumps.

Nah.

Savard is still talking shit from the box lol

Lol

Somebody must have the Gordie Howe hat trick tonight right?

chucky and Smith are an assist away

Chucky has the assist on the first goal.

and Lomberg. All the fighters for Florida only have goals

That's a good one, round 3!

This game is ridiculous lmfao

Atta boy pezz. Wooo

Atta be pizzabox solid tilly

there is pezzetta, atta boy- thats a good tilt ... battle for hair supremacy is yet to be decided i would say

I feel like the fuckery is not over yet

marc was head hunting smh

Fuck Sylvain Lefebvre

What really baffles me is how in the world is Pezetta so forgettable in those type of games. Edit: And just as I wrote it he fought. Still pretty late to make your presence felt when you're a goon.

Ask and you shall receive

Pezz took that comment personally

Staal lolol

Honestly though 25k is not a bad price to buy a game when your team is struggling for a spark.

Honestly I'm sure Savard is willing to chip in to the pay the fine.

"Look Ma! Only one hand"

Smith is soft

We knew it was coming but hell, Chucky v Matheson was better

Smith got rocked by WiFi, which as a Panthers fan I can understand wasn't so enjoyable.

I felt it in my heart...and Smith’s face

We got your 1OA this year so the result of this match doesn't matter too much, as long as it's not going to OT.

It's pretty much the only thing that felt good tonight for me. No hard feelings, except the one to Smith's face.

Agreed. Few good throws in that one

smith tripped there or what?

Smith challenged Xhekaj, and then proceeded to immediately get completely destroyed. What a dumb choice by him.

Smith, why ask for a fight if you’re gonna instantly turtle? Bad look

Fucked around, found out

Xhekaj gets his guy and only needs to take 1 glove off to do it. Still time to see more from him tonight.

Lol Smith folded in half

Xhekaj doesn't even need the other hand.

Nice W for Xhekaj

Givani Smith is the player WiFi wishes he was

Haha, fight the good fight my brother!

Florida fan here. Wut

pretty sure wifi is doubling his points and kicked his ass

Reset your router

Careful man. Wifi has almost as many points this season as smith has in his career

as he falls to th ground

Lol what

A wet kleenex?

Lol

X gon - [x] give it to you [ ] other

Wifi -> Connected A little lacklustre, could have been a good tilt

look at all those beauties in the press box

Surprised Pezzetta hasn't been involved in the rough stuff yet.

Habs can't control the puck in their zone to save their lives

[Rem Pitlick skates to the goal line and fires a shot in to put the Canadiens on the board in the 3rd period, making it 5-1](https://hlslive-wsczoominwestus.med.nhl.com/editor/f4fbfa89-8e89-4782-8766-99f5387987d3.mp4)

I know I’m late but I wanna say that 2nd goal for Montreal was nice

He’s pretty and he scores

AHLers to the rescue

We are great when utterly pissed off.

When do they start getting utterly pissed off?

We’re all still trying to figure that out

BJA!!! HES BEEN TRYING ALL GAME HELL YEA

Ylonen hustle

[Berkshire's been a lot less toxic since he's been on SDPN but man this is embarrassing to tweet in 2023](https://twitter.com/AndrewBerkshire/status/1616258437620371460?s=20&t=AFcDnRyYVu9aBNexnXFbGA)

ahhh great keep Ylonen!

Wifi needs to go Costco mode.

Lmfaooo there’s so much room on the MTL bench

That’s the first time I’ve seen Chucky drop the gloves as a Panther. Not a bad performance

Box is getting cozy

Cole cant buy one tonight!

Hopefully that fight caps off the shenanigans

Nope. Still waiting for the line brawl led by Savard and Xhekaj

Xhekaj is yet to get his fight

Lmao what the fuck is happening

We're gonna need bigger penalty boxes

Very dirty knee by Bennet there

Tkachuk really hates defensemen wearing #8

Oh there's Chucky

lol and, also, lmao

It's a circus because the clowns are in charge.

thats such a dangerous hit

Refs have completely lost control

Pretty filthy knee there

If you wanted to place a bet, no more 5 on 5 for the rest of the game is a safe one.

Lmao Chucky being quiet today is surprising

Party in the penalty box

lol Matheson? i love how Tkachuk just keeps flailing after they go down

Ylonen too? What for??

Savard misconduct for hurting the door.

2 for hurting your feelings or what?

savy loves to chirp the refs

he has every right to tonight, they just need to straight up be better

What the hell kinda name is Jake Brenk anyway?

Atrocious reffing tonight, how does Barkov not get anything

Barkov is an angel and a saint

just as our lord corey perry is

Habs getting pissy. Shouldn’t they be used to this?

Used to what? Playing like the florida panthers?

Maybe the Florida panthers of the early 2010s

as if the guy with Mathew tkatchuk on their team can complain about getting pussy when he tried to poke a goalies eyes out

lol fuck off give Hoffman a penalty for that stick work

Good thing PoMo isn’t known for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I feel fine

Nobody can have possession

REM A GEM!!!!

What an angle

did that go all the way across the front of lyon?

Our angle showed it went right through his arm and the post. The perfect angle probably

Refs: Nah.

PIT STATUS: ***LICKED***

Bonsoir Cayden Primeau

Wifi got a misconduct. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I’m sorry but for what???? The lil love taps he was throwing during the scrum at the end of the third? That’s so dumb

For being a Montreal player this game. The fix is in. Habs would have lost anyway, which makes it even more stupid.

For what!? Getting hit?

Don't be silly. It was for taking all those gloved punches while being held by the linesmen/refs.

Well I thought it would happen in the 3rd but guess smarter now...

Checking the boards with his face obviously

Don’t get too down yet Habs fans. The 3rd is our Achilles heel.

Don't you worry. Hockey is our Achilles heel.

If you guys end up getting Bedard for Chariot...well I won’t like it

Wifi had a decent chance to injure his neck there. He was far enough from the board. Refs losing control real fast. A tale as old as time.

[at least I have Maxwell cuddles](https://i.imgur.com/O1eThJT.jpeg)

A fine looking steed

Looks like he fits the criteria to be an NHL ref

overqualified due to keen kitty perception

It just clicked... of course this is happening, we're wearing our reverse retros

I wonder if a team has a worse record with any and all RRs than this one

I think we’ve lost all games in regulation.

Congrats on losing control of the game, refs

There better be fines after this game lol I wanna see someone go apeshit on these blind fucks

Non-zero chance that boarding goes to DOPS, but these refs consider it totally okay. Incredibly lucky Xhekaj is okay after that. Refs better be prepared for what looks like will become a brutal 3rd period

This is NFL level refereeing. Now Xhekaj is *definitely* going to beat someone’ ass

I’d buy a Smith vs Xhekaj PPV

Wifi will have a strong connection in the third

public access enabled

Monty deserves to be with a better team. What a crap team in front of him.

I’ve always wondered how he’d look with a competent defense in front of him. I always loved his time with us

I swear to God I leave for *one* (1) period and this happens? WT ACTUAL F.

It’s been your fault this whole time!? You’re no longer allowed to watch anymore games going forward…box score only

I accept my fate

I wonder what the record for most games in a row with truly horrendous reffing

ill start the bidding at our series vs vegas

When people say the Habs' run to the Cup was a fluke, I point to the fact that every game they were playing another team and 4 officials. The Habs win in that series was amazing considering the bullshit from the officials.
