During the second period of Saturday’s game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Habs took four straight penalties, one penalty swung the game squarely in Toronto’s favour, off of a Rasmus Sandin goal and a failed coach’s challenge.
Then, from some serendipitous circumstance, the second-period intermission featured Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’amour, St. Louis Blues coach Craig Berube, and Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper each calling out the officials in their respective series.
