Canadiens defenceman Mike Matheson seems to have become a favourite whipping boy for some Montreal hockey fans.
That was on display on social media after the Canadiens lost 4-3 in overtime to the New Jersey Devils last Saturday night at the Bell Centre. Many fans were blaming Matheson for losing the puck in the offensive zone during the OT period, which led to the winning goal by New Jersey’s Jack Hughes.

Those are the questions answered on this Hockey Inside/Out bonus episode as former Canadiens defenceman and 1986 Stanley Cup champion Rick Green and columnist Jack Todd join The Gazette’s Stu Cowan.
