Big kill! Can thank Monty for that huge save

Clinched! Boys got it done!

We are in the playoffs! When do we expect games 1 & 2? Gotta change up some appointments to make sure I see it. I would assume opposite to Toronto...

Go Habs Go! Let's go get it
Kotkaniemi scares me tonight for some reason. Could have a little motivation to make Montreal's life difficult.

Two shorthanded goals given up on one powerplay. That was rough.
First goal allowed was pretty weak by Montembeault. Second a bad bounce but avoidable.
-
1) 39-35-6-2 = 86 pts
2) 6th in the Atlantic
3) 21st in the league
4) 4 players score 20 goals
5) 69 points for Suzuki

Matthews will be the highest paid player in the NHL when the 2024 season starts. Don't feel he deserves that but figured he would get paid handsomely still.
Interesting at four years the contract brings him to 31 where he may be looking at his final big pay day and possibly at a new market to finish off his career.

If it is indeed Vilardi + as suggested by many people (no confirmation yet) then the offer from Montreal would have to be Dach + to match. Dach also has a good contract. No need for Hughes to get into a bidding war. If indeed Dubois is going to LA then I think it's much more likely Hughes goes hard after a center in the draft.
Agreed about not getting into a bidding war. Vilardi + is a really good return for the Jets considering the position they are in. A good young center who can slot into the second line and is only improving. See if any draft picks are also moved.
I don't feel not getting Dubois changes anything in terms of drafting a center however. Suzuki, Dach, and Beck are 3 good pieces for the future. Monahan, Evans and Dvorak as stop-gaps. I think its still take BPA. If Michkov is there at 5, take him. Certainly continue to add centers through the draft in general, but not an immediate need where you need to switch your draft plans.

Lehkonen going to get lots of cheers tonight, hopefully for also scoring 6 goals tonight.
Fans seem to love him. I cant remember another time that the Habs fans were cheering an opposing player after they scored a goal.

Note: The tweet is wrong in that Josh Pillar actually goes to the Leafs. The rest of the deal is accurate.
Quite the trade. Center depth is pretty impressive with Mathews, Tavares and O'Reilly. Maybe he moves to the wing to stay on the top two lines. Banking on his playoff experience where he won the Conn Smythe. Will only count 1.875 million against the cap with St. Louis retaining 50% and Minnesota an additional 25%. Is a forward what Toronto needed? Think they still need to add to their defence.
Price is set at a 4th round pick for Minnesota to retain 25% of his salary (1.875 million). Keep that in mind for Montreal in the upcoming weeks.
They are expected to arrive in Montreal for tonights game.

We know the tiebreaker result now. Cole Caufield ended with 26 goals in game play plus went 2 for 3 on the shootout. His grand total will be locked in at 28 goals. Looks like Habs Fan in Edmonton got that one right.
Would have been interesting to see how high he would of gone with the additional 36 games remaining.

If Ghule is a no go are they going with 5D?
Schueneman would play

Drouin is in for Pitlick tonight as well. Pitlick a healthy scratch.

Anyone notice the lights???
Yes. I imagine its to do with the Sportnet coverage and some of their settings. I was also annoyed by the virtual advertisements on the boards changing mid play. Found it to be a bit distracting. At least wait till a stoppage in play.

Probably too late but its a start.

Between jays game and free centre ice package preview (watching Dallas at Minny) I am entertained before the feast weekend gets deep.
Jays are making things interesting for sure but in all the wrong ways. Blew a huge lead and its all tied up going to the bottom of the 8th. A bit frustrating.
-
a) 27-44-6-5 = 65 points
b) 8th in Atlantic Division
c) 29th in League
d) 36 combined goals for Cole Caufield

I am sure there will be more teams but if that is all the teams doing it, I would be rather disappointed in the Habs. They are the only original 6 team on the list so far.

Certainly wasn't one of the expected landing destinations. I thought New Jersey would of made a lot of sense.
-
A couple of expected deals expected already. Ottawa is having a pretty good off season so far.

Campbell and Kuemper must be pleased with the developments, they will be in big demand. Washington, Toronto and Edmonton absolutely have to sign a decent goalie. I wonder if Jake Allen is being pursued.
For sure. They should get paid well even though in all reality they are not goalies who put you over the top. Now if someone could swing a trade for Gibson, that would be the move.
Have to be willing to listen on Allen if the market is there especially if you could get a Samsonov replacement. Not sure how big of return you could realistically expect though.

He is certainly the most ready as well. Shouldn't hurt Laval too much currently as they aren't playing in this series of the AHL playoffs. If Montembeault is longer term and the Habs advance, that will be quite a lot of pressure put on Fowler for a Laval team expecting to go far in the playoffs. Would be great experience though, sort of like what Price did back in 2007.
For the Habs sake let's hope Montembeault is back quickly.
