Bryce Pickford's junior career is over.

It's a track meet in Colorado tonight.

What a great win and a great experience for Dobes. All of a sudden the Habs goaltending looks pretty solid for the future.
-
A tough one, had to walk away for a bit after the loss. A heck of a game. Both goalies were exceptional. What a great experience for Dobes to go through. He has been outstanding, certainly been a positive from a development point of view. Hard to believe the Suzuki line hasn't scored an even strength goal in 6 games, we need them Sunday.

Their goaltending is -7.9 just at 5v5 from the charts above. Thats not bad defence. Thats horrific goaltending.
Giving up almost an extra 2.66 goals per game at 5v5 is insanely bad.
Yes, their goaltending has been really bad but they are also giving too many quality chances and odd man rushes.
-
The Oilers have given up 16 goals in 3 playoff games? It's been a fun series to watch BUT you don't win the Stanley Cup without being able to play a little defense. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Ducks win. They are gaining confidence.

I assume/hope that's AI generated and not Juraj getting cocky, way too early for that.
One thing for sure, Tampa will be more careful about taking penalties.

I can say i was wrong. I had Slaf at 4th
But that guy who had him 42nd was INSANE.
Completely insane! Not easy predicting how an 18 year old will continue to develop but 42nd?
Hughes deserves a ton of credit for signing these guys to long term contracts. A 100 point guy, a 50 goal scorer and an emerging beast at under 8 million/year. Phenomenal.

It was a ballsy pick by HuGo, and they are now being rewarded in spades.
I don't think it was that ballsy a pick. A lot of scouts had him rated #1 They did their homework.

IF ONLY WE HAD PICKED SHANE WRIGHT
I think Commandant is OK with the pick now. Slaf has turned into an absolute beast.
-
The Flyers need 1 point tonight to eliminate Columbus and 2 to eliminate Washington as they don't have the tie breaker. If the Flyers lose tonight then the Habs will have some extra fans tomorrow night. Columbus plays Washington tomorrow night so the Flyers can't back in, they need points tonight or tomorrow night.

That is a big disaster for the team’s playoff chances. Goddamn it.
No doubt, awful news. Other guys need to step up.

A year from now he will be bigger and stronger. Another year at Michigan would not be a terrible thing.

I missed the game but not surprised they lost. Columbus was desperate and the Habs just came off an emotional win. Tomorrow they play the Islanders whose playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. Looks like 3rd place, just hope they stay healthy.
-
Wow!! Slaf has turned into such a beast. Love that contract now. They won despite a terrible power play.

If they keep it, wonder whether they look long-term and use it or trade it for help next season
I think they have to start thinking longer term as they won't have a 27 or 28 pick if they hang on to the one this year.
-
I believe if Florida finishes bottom 10 (likely now) they keep their 1st round pick so the organization is not worried about wins right now.

Veleno has zero offensive skill, but forechecks well and is defensively pretty good, but 4th line/13th forward seems about right.
Agree with this, he works hard and checks well. I like his work ethic. He hasn't produced much offensively but I wasn't expecting much so not disappointed.
-
They just didn't have it tonight, especially the 1st 2 periods. It happens, they have played a lot of hockey.

Kaprizov scores with 1:54 left on the power play. Minnesota holds on from there and the Habs are in the playoffs.
Yes, we are in, guaranteed!!! Not that there was much doubt before but nice when it's official.
-
Detroit losing 4-1 to Minny. A Detroit loss in regulation or overtime and the Habs are officially guaranteed a playoff spot.

At lest now he is available for the Leafs' GM position ... 😉 😜 🤪
Exactly!

It seems like a desperation move, very much hoping for that new coach bounce.

I think they are now focused on home-ice advantage ... so don't expect much to change for the moment
I am not so sure home ice is an advantage. Have you seen the Habs road record this year?

Seeing Toronto win the lottery did not improve my mental state tonight. It sucks.
