We can debate all day if it was offside or not, but the bottom line remains... Montreal has again failed to reach a play-off series.
While it is reasonable to point out the team was forced to begin the season on the road, forfeiting several home games, it’s also clear to conclude that poor game management at the business end of the season, sealed Montreal’s fate.
Only two games were won in that final stretch of nine and one of those was at home to Houston, the worst team in the West; a game that would have been more difficult to lose.
