Don's deed

Once again the Canadiens were done in by the refs, this time at the hands of the veteran Don Koharski. Don't get me wrong, the Habs are often undisciplined and deserve most of the calls they get, but it seems like they get an unfair share of "iffy" and absolutely wrong penalties on top of that. Even the calm, collected Bob Gainey has complained - several times, I might add - that the officiating was not as objective as it could have been. While the Buffalo game wasn't as severe a case, it's not the first time the Canadiens have received the short end of the, uh... whistle. Or maybe that's just every fan's take on the reffing from their own perspective?

No news to report on the trade front, although scouts continue to be spotted at Canadiens games. Speaking of scouting, word is that Claude Julien has been offered a scouting job with the Habs. No news on whether or not he'll take it, but if he does, it certainly won't be for long.
