Wild vs. Canadiens | NHL Highlights | Nov 10, 2026

Well at least the Canadiens got 1 point out of this game. <br><br>I really love Fowler, but I get worried about his 3 period play. He seems to struggle more in that period. Hope he can change that, cause he is a hell of a goalie.<br><br>Canadiens continue to look strong. Keep it up boys.<br><br>LET&#39;S GO CANADIENS!!! ❤️💙❤️ 🇨🇦

Habs fans crying about a clear slashing while Yurov took multiple hits that should have been penalties that went uncalled but are fine with that 😂 like 4-5 powerplays for them before the Wild got their first. Maybe score on your PPs Habs. Only goal you could score was a Wild player putting it in his own net

Quietly the NHL is really strong good and competitive. Compared to the NBA it&#39;s night and day. NHL games are absolutely LIT this season with a buncha really really strong fun to watch teams all over. Surprised it&#39;s not more popular and hopefully it continues because it will be. People need to figure out how good hockey is. The NBA meanwhile is basically unwatchable and the NFL isn&#39;t much better

Slashing requires a player to swing their stick with their arms, hitting another player or their stick. I&#39;ve seen the replay (which was curiously omitted from THIS highlights video) - Caufield does not swing his stick. His stick is held motionless in his hands, as he skates towards the puck. Hughes&#39; stick breaks when the sticks meet, but simply because a stick breaks does not mean a slash occurred. The sticks contacted each other because Caufield&#39;s direction of travel resulted in the sticks meeting...without a slash occurring. It happens all game long with no penalties being called, because it&#39;s NOT A PENALTY for your stick to contact another player&#39;s stick.<br><br>Worse still is that the penalty given was, based on WHEN it was called, MORE advantageous to the Wild than an ordinary minor penalty. This is because a 4 on 3 powerplay is FAR superior to a 5 on 4 one, as in a 4 on 3 defenders can&#39;t pressure the puck-carrier at all without gifting their opponent an uncontested scoring chance. So possession can only change when the opponent takes a shot, if the shot misses or is blocked and comes near enough to a defender to allow them to shoot the puck down the ice. I would argue that referees should be 100% certain about the truth of an infraction ALL the time, but this should especially be the case during the last ~90 seconds of regulation (allowing for 30 seconds of 4 on 3 in OT, which is enough time to get at least one high-danger chance), or in overtime, since a penalty called in this time frame is essentially deciding the game for one team more than half the time (it doesn&#39;t matter how good your PK is if they are just trying to get in shooting lanes and waiting for a shot to come...defending a 4 on 3 is mostly down to luck and otherworldly goaltending).<br><br>Now, I am not a conspiracy theorist - obviously, most cases where a refereeing error decides a game will be due to sheer incompetence - but the way the system is set up practically GUARANTEES that corruption will occasionally take place, wherein a ref intentionally makes an incorrect decision with the goal of deciding the game for one team. Moreover, the NHL is INFAMOUS for &quot;game management,&quot; where infractions are called or not called based on what has happened earlier in the game. So to summarize the situation in which we find ourselves - sometimes a call is screwed up because the referee is just bad at their job...sometimes it is screwed up because the officials are &quot;managing the game&quot;...and sometimes it is screwed up because a referee has been compromised by an outside individual or organization that benefits from their &quot;mistake.&quot; And all three options look EXACTLY the same to an outside observer. I don&#39;t think it&#39;s #3 very often...but it can&#39;t be NEVER. And as a fan of this great game...that is a truly depressing thought.

Mtl has such a huge fan base that gambling houses make more money when Habs lose.<br><br>When there&#39;s a fan bias in favor of a team, gambling platforms have two options:<br>A) Adjust the odds to balance the positions for and against the popular team, so that the house has no exposure. But this would give unreasonably shitty odds to the very fans who are the big clients;<br>B) Or under-adjust the odds so that they are just slightly unfavorable to the popular team but, not enough to discourage betting. However, the bets may not balance, and the house has exposure. If one betting site takes this approach, it will capture the betting market for the popular fanbase and others platforms will have to follow.<br><br>When betting house have exposure, we have a few big players with millions of dollars at stake, more than a thousand times what a referee earns... I have no proof of anything, but the incentive is there.<br><br>If we would all stop betting, that incentive against MTL would disappear. Again, I don&#39;t know if that is at play, I&#39;m just saying that the incentive exists.

NFL, NBA, MLB, all have adopted the review technology to become true to the game. It is absolutely clear that if the NHL wants to be considered a major , it has to adopt the technology that the other majors are using especially due to the speed of hockey. And yes, that call was a smart player duping a referee . Not a good way to influence the end of a very good match.

The Wild blew it. Habs still get 1 point &amp; have not lost in reg since Oct 14, 2026. Wild couldn&#39;t win 1-0 in reg or 2-1 in reg after the refs gave them a powerplay in that last min. So yeah this is a bigger win for Habs not losing in reg &amp; getting 1 point.
