After game 2, I honestly didn’t think it was possible for an officiating crew to have a worse night. The Montreal Canadiens received zero power plays and watched numerous infractions by the Vegas Golden Knights go uncalled. Surely there was nowhere for the quality of officiating to go but up.
It looked like “game management” since the Canadiens spent a significant amount of that game with a lead. It was frustrating, but at least there was that explanation — however ridiculous it may be — to answer why the officiating was as bad as it was.
