At the end of the day some of it is on the players but playoff officiating continues to be an equalizer as the Habs are not a good team at all and we are now a game away from the possibility of the Jets or Habs being in the final 4 which is a joke.

Not sure about that.
Brad Marchand is small, Kucherov isnt much bigger, Point, Nylander, Makar, and on and on....all sub 200 lb guys who have great success in the playoffs.
Its all about who wants it more this time of year. Some guys rise up and others wither.
And lets be real here, the Habs are in position to win right now because of goaltending, period. Not sure how officiating is to blame. 7 of the top 10 penalized teams in the playoffs....are still playing.
