Blatant Missed Call in Canadiens-Sabres Game Has Everyone Talking This Morning

There's one particular sequence that's getting a lot of attention today, as forward Josh Anderson was literally driven headfirst into the boards midway through the third period (by a Sabres defenseman), a sequence that could have gone very wrong for him, but fortunately, he came out of it uninjured.

Yet, the referee was right next to the play and clearly saw what happened:

Let's just say it doesn't send a great message for a league that claims to want to better protect its players.

It's hard to understand how this wasn't called a penalty.

Anyway, let's recall that the Montreal Canadiens won 4-2 last night against the Sabres, as Martin St-Louis' squad earned a solid victory before their Western road trip.

Oliver Kapanen, Juraj Slafkovsky, Lane Hutson, and Jake Evans were the goal scorers for the Habs.

For Kapanen, it was already his fourth (4th) goal of the season, while Evans and Hutson each scored their first of the year.

Young goaltender Jakub Dobes was once again excellent in net, stopping 30 of 32 shots and making several key saves.

Dobes now has a record of 3-0-0 this season, with a goals-against average of 1.63 and a save percentage of .939.

The Canadiens are currently tied for first in the Eastern Conference with 10 points.
