Last night, after the Montreal Canadiens' game against the Edmonton Oilers, things got heated during the post-game press conferences.

Brendan Gallagher had a lot to say regarding the officiating and revealed what the referee told him during their heated exchange... also admitting to making costly mistakes.
"The refs kind of took over the game there and kudos to them for winning it."

- Cole Caufield

And now, for a very rare occasion, head coach Martin St-Louis also had a lot to say about last night's officiating.

Martin St-Louis makes an unexpected request to the NHL: review the game footage from Edmonton

I love it!
"Habs coach Marty St. Louis on if he ever got an explanation from the referee on Josh Anderson's "unsportsmanlike conduct" penalty:"

"Not really. They don't really come and talk to." - Martin St-Louis
"We watch video and we try to get better as a group. I hope the league has the same process as coaches do," says Martin St. Louis
Yes, Martin St-Louis said he hopes the NHL will review the officiating footage.
Will this rather unusual request be well received by the league's executives?
In short, I can't wait to see the fallout from all this - it's been a very long time since we've seen so many reactions after a game regarding the refereeing.
Let's not forget that the Montreal Canadiens lost in regulation by a score of 6-5 against the Edmonton Oilers, and Martin St-Louis' squad will be back in action tomorrow night against the Vancouver Canucks.

Do you believe NHL referees should answer questions after a game (in a press conference)?
