The Montreal Canadiens finally snapped their losing streak after seven games, defeating the St. Louis Blues 5-4 in a great Saturday night game. Though it won’t help with their odds in the Connor Bedard sweepstakes, they deserved that win, and players like Joel Armia and Jonathan Drouin truly needed the boost of confidence that they’ll get from it. It was a very enjoyable game overall from a fan perspective.
This isn’t something you’ll see me say often, but what made it all the more enjoyable was how well that game was officiated.
I’m usually quick to talk about the officials being bad, so I decided to put a focus on just how good they were in this game.
