The Bruins and Canadiens played a tight game Saturday in Boston with the Bruins coming out on top 2-1 in overtime and after the game, Canadiens head coach Claude Julien did not hesitate to criticize the referees.
First, he questioned the ref's decision to give Sean Kuraly a two-minute penalty when he stopped Byron from firing a shot off while on a breakaway. According to Julien, his forward should have been awarded a penalty shot.
Then he went on to criticize the penalty called on Mike Reilly against Rick Nash for high sticking. Julien believes that the stick hit the Bruins' forward's shoulder and not his face and that Nash acted the whole thing out, selling the play to earn a penalty.
