Brady Tkachuk's goal vs. Canadiens should have never counted due to a blatant missed call just prior

The goal scored by Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk is still stirring debate among Montreal Canadiens fans.
I almost didn't bring it up, because the Habs played so poorly on Tuesday night that it probably wouldn't have changed the outcome at all, but we have to admit that the officiating was once again extremely questionable in this matchup between Montreal and Ottawa.
When even Pierre Houde sounds discouraged about the officiating live on RDS, you know it's becoming an issue. There is one sequence in particular that everyone is talking about today.
Brady Tkachuk's goal should never have happened, because there was a blatant penalty on Brendan Gallagher just seconds before
Literally just seconds before Tkachuk scored-helped by the team's defensive breakdowns-there was an obvious tripping penalty on Brendan Gallagher that the official completely missed.
The video below shows an obvious missed tripping call on Gallagher just seconds before the Tkachuk goal.

Gallagher couldn't believe it when he got back to the bench. That goal is also the one that put the game completely out of reach for Martin St-Louis' squad.
Speaking of the officiating in this game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators, let's not forget the following sequence involving Lane Hutson and Brady Tkachuk.
Hopefully the Canadiens bounce back with a better performance against the Winnipeg Jets in the coming hours. With this loss, the Habs have now fallen out of the NHL playoff picture.
Who would have predicted that a month ago, when everything seemed to be going so well?
