Habs on pace for about 10 shots.

My prediction is the Habs beat the Lightning, and the Bruins beat the Sabres. Gives us a second-round match up of Habs-Bruins.

Thinking back to that time when a Devils fan thought Montreal (at the start of their rebuild) should give up first overall (Slaf), Caufield and Anderson to get JT Miller, Garland and Zacha. Also thought NJ could get Quinn Hughes and Caufield by giving Zacha and Ty Smith. Dude was dead serious.

They've won three straight and outscored their opponents 15-6 in those games, the last two with Hart in net. My guess is this is something some of the players do as a superstition, and it caught on with some teammates.

Slaf really needs to come off that top PP unit if the Habs get another opportunity. He's done nothing the last two games.

Habs on pace for 12 shots.

Looks like ESPN was ahead of its time.

Eights shots through 30 minutes isn't going to win you a lot of hockey games.

Slaf! Stupid autocorrect. You know who I meant!

Slap hasn't had the greatest game tonight. Seems like he can't get the puck to settle down.

Not assumptions. From their website: "By running a simulation of the rest of the NHL season 100,000 times we can create precise probabilities of the outcome of the season for each team."

Too many great rookies this year: Schaeffer, Demidov, Sennecke, Askarov, Kapanen, etc. I don't think Dobes finishes top five.

Are the BlueJackets always this bad in OT?

Does Carry Price count?

Also, and this is going back a ways, but Koivu was like this at the start of his career. Also Brian Savage.

Even more. He had 45 four-point games and 14 five-point games .

I've just started watching Bones. Only on season two, but really good so far.

He has eight assists in his last 11 games, tied for third on the team in assists since January 22. Everyone he is tied with or who is ahead of him average at least five minutes more per game.

holy shit

He also gave up first-minute-of-a-period goals twice in this game. Three times if you include the one that was called back.

Patrick Roy pretty easily. In later years, Saku Koivu, then Subban.

8 years ago:

Trocheck. If you are trading Kapanen, you need to get a centre back, unless the plan is to move Danault or Evans to second-line C.

Trocheck is a face-off beast. Can play PP and PK. Can be a second-line centre. Is physical. Can put up a 60-point pace. Has a lower contract than Kadri or Thomas.

You're right, it's not. It's why last year, Marchand got traded for only a second, Rantanen was traded twice, and Laine and a second were dealt for Jordan Harris.

None of those trades would have been accepted in PS5.

Laine and a second for Bobrovsky! Florida retains a bit to make the cap work. Voila! Both players are free agents this summer. Bob re-signs with the Panthers on July 1.

Note, I am not saying the Habs or Panthers should or would do this, but just that it's not as far fetched as it may seem.

They scored a 6-on-6 goal? Canada didn't have six men on the ice.

Makar has to hustle back there.

Can't wait for this game to be decided by a non-call by the officials.

The top line for Canada has a tendency to pass to traffic instead of shooting. All those passes are being picked off and brought back up the ice.

Man, did Sweden even take a shot in OT? You can't score if you don't shoot.

What is the turns in moguls? Canada lost gold because they were behind at the turns, but I have no idea what it is.
