Bit of a weak call on Nylander but also a really unnecessary play by Nylander.
-
I do wonder if Romanov not spending any time in the AHL will hurt his offensive development, because man he makes a lot of poor decisions at the opposition blue line.

Good chances the Habs don't finish at one end and a garbage goal by Rielly.
So just like most Habs games?

Some rare Rocket injury news. That Teasdale injury is rough, as he was probably a candidate for Black Aces duty.
-
Also of interest tonight is if Ottawa can do us a solid and beat Winnipeg.

"Welcome to the big show! Now... it's gonna take a lot of work. It's gonna take a lot of sweat. But eventually I am gonna mold you into one of the greatest 12 year olds to ever play this game! Now... ack... ack... kyeh... kyeh.. aeeeeh.... suit up... I'll see you out there..."
So how about that Cole Caufield goal, huh? Yes please, and may I have another?
Looks like the same lines as last game but with Allen getting the start.

Seattle gets a 48h UFA negotiation window before the expansion draft, so they can confirm that they can agree to terms before picking a UFA.
Which is why there is some risk to leaving great UFAs exposed in the expansion draft.
"Hey Dougie, we're interested in signing you."
"No thanks guys, I plan to re-up in Carolina."
"We'll pay you $10 million per year for 8 years, and you get a private tour of every museum in Seattle."
"...Carolina who? Lol."

Are you sure its only 6? I thought Toffoli and Anderson had 1 too?
Its also about contracts for more $ than they're worth and for a lot of years and how it took several years to bite Van.
Toffoli has nothing, but you are correct that Anderson gets a modified NTC starting next season (I only looked at this season's NTCs.)
Habs have 7 contracts with trade protection next year: Price, Gallagher, Petry, Drouin, Anderson, Edmundson, Chiarot.

MB seems to give out NTC like they're candy.
Just further to this because I decided to deep-dive Capfriendly...
Number of NTC/NMCs on each team:
Anaheim - 8
Arizona - 5
Boston - 5
Buffalo - 2
Calgary - 6
Carolina - 2
Chicago - 5
Colorado - 6
Columbus - 3
Dallas - 7
Detroit - 4
Oilers - 3
Panthers - 8
Kings - 3
Wild - 6
Canadiens - 6
Predators - 2
Devils - 0
Islanders - 12
Rangers - 5
Senators - 1
Flyers - 3
Penguins - 6
Sharks - 7
Blues - 10
Lightning - 9
Leafs - 11
Canucks - 10
Knights - 8
Capitals - 8
Jets - 7
And please keep in mind that some of these NTC/NMCs were not necessarily handed out by the GM of these teams, as some would have been traded for or inherited from their predecessor. And also not all NTC/NMCs are equal, as no one here would argue against giving Vladimir Tarasenko a NMC, but pretty much everyone would ask, "Carl Gunnarsson gets a modified NTC, really?"

The funny thing is the mistake the Nucks GM made that led to the Habs signing Toffoli is the same mistake MB made. However, MB didnt do it as big. i.e. both GMs had a lot of cap space in years where there wasn't a lot of UFAs to sign so they signed numerous of their guys to bigger and longer contracts then they really deserved. The Nucks lost Toffoli because they couldnt afford him due to the over spending finally catching up to them several years into it. The Habs are tight against the cap now due to Byron, Lehks, Drouin. MB seems to give out NTC like they're candy.
Only 6 players on the team with NMC/NTC that Bergevin handed out: Price, Petry, Chiarot, Edmundson, Gallagher and... Alzner. 1 miss, who was bought out. None of the remaining players really hurt his ability to deal because none of them were going to be dealt.
Comparatively Benning gave out 9 to Eriksson, Beagle, Ferland, Holtby, Hamonic, Myers, Edler, Roussel, and Sutter. 6 misses, and I'm being generous because a case could be made that all of them hurt Benning's ability to trade them.

That game eliminated the Sens from the playoffs (might as well kill that suspense early), dropped Vancouver's Tragic # down to 8, and Calgary's Tragic # down to 6 (or less, depending on their game tonight.)

I turned off the game at 2-0 Ottawa. Just check the score and now I need to go watch the end, wanna see Caufield’s first.
We've all had these moments of weakness and we understand and sympathize, but before you watch the rest off the game we require three Hail Beliveau's as penance.

*chef's kiss*

Beautiful

That might be coming back

I dunno if that's on Frolik for dragging ass back to the bench or for the Hab that hopped over the boards jumping the gun.
-
Bit worried about Ottawa's speed taking advantage of the long change this period.

Forward lines are the same.

I like Allen. I'd like him to continue to be on the team.
I really don't like the idea of Habs management bending over backwards to protect a backup goalie.

Brandon Montour is terrible.
And Forbort is another immobile defensive defenceman that we already have too many of. He's fine on his own but with Chiarot and Edmundson here, there is no point to him.
Is Montour terrible or did he play in Buffalo?
-
Also noted that Armia was a bit banged up but hopeful for the game against Ottawa.
-
A win of any kind or an extra-time loss eliminates the Senators from playoff contention. Looking for help from Edmonton and Toronto as well. Mostly Edmonton.

"Look at this cake for example! Now I wrap it up in my vomit bag, I take it back to the hotel, put it on ice, and in the morning... voila! Breakfast! Conservation, Henry. Managing resources. That is the key!"
Injury trouble and very few days off from now til the 12th will test the Habs down the stretch. We'll see if Kulak, Primeau, and another forward draw in to give more Habs the rest they seem to need right now.
Lineup TBD.

I have a hard time calling any save a "great" one when it's Lehkonen shooting the puck.
