Although it was an entertaining game for Montreal Canadiens fans yesterday, with the visit of the Vegas Golden Knights to the Bell Centre, it must also be said that this is the kind of game that gives coaches gray hair.

In addition to losing several leads in the score, a four-minute penalty imposed on Brendan Gallagher, when less than 3 minutes remained in the game and the score was 4-4, completely sank the Canadiens.
This makes it two consecutive games where CH's number 11 has received a penalty in the final moments of a match, significantly hindering the team.
In a press conference, Martin St-Louis did not hesitate to publicly denounce Gallagher.
Visibly frustrated by his men's performance, he sharply commented:
"This cannot happen!"

The way the coach conveyed his message was very clear; he did not appreciate this penalty by one of his veterans and leaders of the club at all.
Pressed on the question a bit later, St-Louis mentioned that it was a big part of his team's loss yesterday.
Obviously, a double penalty at such a critical moment of the game is unacceptable. Vegas not only took the lead, but they doubled it with less than two minutes remaining in the match.
Although Justin Barron revived hope by halving the deficit with a quick goal a few seconds later, the damage was done.
