Good game. 2 bad bounce goals against. Limited high danger chances. Monty with the left to right grand larceny. Calder winner doing superstar defenseman things. Captain doing Selke things all game long. So pumped up right now.

Yep. That's a great penalty to take.

If you did a redraft today, the Habs maybe got the first overall and third overall. Lane Hutson first overall. Slaf third overall.

For sure. Makes sense.

Yep. He's excellent. Most of their color guys are better. There is way more insightful commentary .

I would rather the cap go down and have quality broadcasting. They get paid well now. But i get it's a business, so if sportsnet can pay more, they win.

Garbage. TSN is superior.

That head height rink long shot by 77 wasn't too smart. Nobody was expecting that.

I agree. This is good learning for the group. Feeling the pressure of having to hold a playoff spot. They arent doing too well, but it's a learning experience nonetheless. They're getting that experience a year early. It was too early to make a big trade at the deadline and the payback for Evans and armia likely wasn't worth the losses that would result from their absence. Doing nothing appears to be the right move.

The team has had 2 great winning streaks, 1 or 2 periods of 5 to 10 games where they were acceptable and 2 horrible losing streaks, including the terrible start. Through most of this, the first line has done their job. In the first winning streak, Dobes, Monty, Laine's PP shot and the 4th line got them the extra help to put together a run. In the 2nd streaks, the 1st line was sensational, Monty played great and the dvorak line added secondary scoring. At no time this season, has the 2nd line provided any threat 5 on 5. I want a 2nd line centre. Its a need either way, but do spend big on a 2nd c and hope Monty can improve his consistency, or do you spend less on centre and look for goaltending help? I lean toward the good centre.

I don't get how carolina isn't a cup contender every year. They are so structured it's crazy. They win every face off. Every puck battles. Cycle you to death and plug up the neutral and d zone better than anyone.

Yep. Bad play. This team plays very structured and waits for mistakes. Absolutely dominating Montreal.

This was my thought too. Their last 10 games have been quite mediocre. If they can go on another good streak, they're in.

Well they've played 3 or 4 bad games now recently and they're still in the hunt. Time to right the ship. This is one streaky team. Need some better team defense. Savard or Xhekaj need some press box time when Ghule comes back.

Bad bad decision.

Josh Anderson has reinvented his game this year. He has been snake bitten on the scoreboard, but has certainly improved his overall game. If he was making 3 to 4 million, I bet he would be a fan favorite. It's been one of the pleasant surprises for me this season.

I live outside victoria. Definitely wet and cold in the winter. Work in northern alberta. I love getting out of that frozen wasteland and back to my wet and cold island. Different strokes I guess.

I'm done

What a terrible game. Just nothing positive happening tonight.

Tough clean goal on Monty.

4 seconds left. Oof.

Hopefully that sparks them to execute.

My sportsnet feed is on an endless commercial loop.

Horrible start. Need a big pk here and a shot on net this period would be neat.

Still in it. Need a strong 3rd period.
