Montreal Canadiens coach Martin St-Louis was in no mood to speak with reporters following his team's loss, and he pulled a John Tortorella style presser. The Canadiens lost their 12th regulation game of the season in a 4-3 loss to the Rangers in New York. Trailing 3-1 entering the third period, Montreal rallied with an early goal from Cole Caufield and a clutch equalizer by captain Nick Suzuki with under six minutes to play. But their comeback hopes were dashed when Kaapo <a href='https://www.tsn.ca/video/rangers-power-play-burns-habs-in-another-tough-loss~3039137' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Kakko scored the game-winner on a Rangers power play with less than a minute left</a>. The winning goal was sure controversial. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHL/status/1862963794361594154'> </a></blockquote></div> Replays, though, showed Canadien forward Joel Armia getting blatantly tripped by Will Cuylle the split second before he set up Kakko with a pass out of the slot, an instance that had fans and analysts alike, quickly point out the no-call for a penalty, right after the NHL pushed out the goal on social media. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/arbeemonkey/status/1862964593758187997'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/ej62564/status/1862963971210228098'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/bstreet24/status/1862964185530789975'> </a></blockquote></div> Frustration wasn't limited to fans. Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis, clearly irked, addressed reporters after the game but offered only one repeated response to their questions. «I loved our game, but I'm not going to talk about the refs.» - Martin St-Louis <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/RDSca/status/1862969562720821723'> </a></blockquote></div> He delivered this message in both English and French before ending the press conference after multiple similar exchanges. While St-Louis' comments appeared to be directed at the officiating, he carefully avoided any direct criticism of the referees, no doubt to avoid a fine from the league. Whether his subtle jab will draw any response from NHL commissioner Gary Bettman remains to be seen. Stay tuned for any fallout.
