It was a farce last night when it came to the officiating in the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Edmonton Oilers.
Some Canadiens players, including Cole Caufield, finally spoke their minds-even knowing there could be consequences...
Especially after seeing the following footage, people still can't believe the heartbreaking penalty that was called on Josh Anderson:
Anyway, following all that, we learned something interesting during the press conference, thanks to Brendan Gallagher!
The referee admitted his mistake on the penalty called against Juraj Slafkovsky
We're talking about the following sequence:
Gallagher confirmed that the NHL official admitted to making a big mistake by calling a penalty on that play... And it turned into a costly one since it really hurt the Montreal Canadiens for the rest of the game!
"Brendan Gallagher voiced his opinion on the officiating of Thursday night's game between the Canadiens and Oilers." - TSN
"Habs furious with officiating tonight.

"He didn't," Gallagher said."

Incredible... And even after that, they still insisted on harshly penalizing Josh Anderson!
It's truly ridiculous. In the end, last night's matchup between the Canadiens and Oilers will be remembered less for the goals and more for the chaos caused by questionable officiating.
Let's recall that the Montreal Canadiens are back in action tomorrow night against the Vancouver Canucks.
