Recap – 3 Stars, Highlights, Presser: Lack of Production

Game 56 Home game 29 | Sunday February 2, 2014
	Game Recap: Once again the Canadiens failed to generate enough quality scoring chances. The Jets outworked the Habs winning puck battles and Michel Therrien was thoroughly outcoached by Paul Maurice.  While not a deciding factor in the game, the officiating was embarrassing.   Plus / Minus ▲  Carey Price, Brendan Gallagher, Josh Gorges, Rene Bourque, Brian Gionta, Tomas Plekanec ▼  Michel Therrien, Nathan Beaulieu, Michael Bournival, David Desharnais, Max Pacioretty, Christian Thomas

Coach Michel Therrien

• “It’s really frustrating. I just reviewed (the tape.) We could have had five calls (on Brendan Gallagher at the end of the game.) We’re going to ask for an explanation why they didn’t have any (penalty) calls. We could have went 6-on-4 and give us a chance to tie the game. We’d like to have some explanation (from the league about the officiating.)”
• “Today we got some chances (on the power-play.) We were aggressive. It’s not only about the power-play, but all (throughout) the game, I thought we played a solid game. We were on puck. We certainly deserved a better fate — we hit two posts.”
• “(Winnipeg Jets goalie Al) Montoya did some great saves to keep his team in this game. I really liked everyone involved in the game today. I believe that our guys played really hard.”
