    I don't understand why you'd put Hart back in. 

     

     

    The guy is fighting the puck, the armia 2nd goal was bad and so was this one, even if it didn't count. The fact it was offside doesn't change the fact he was beaten and doesn't look good tonight. 

    Muller has to tell the boys shoot from anywhere. 

     

    Agreed!

     

    Though we should be happy. Hart's proven he responds well to getting pulled in the following games.

    Well, for everyone who was cheering for habs to lose. The MTL slot would be where nashville ball was placed. ( alphabetic order ).  So there you have it.

     

    Just a guess, unless the balls fell differently, all things equal, unless Nashville ball was out, MTL wouldnt have won the draft lottery.

     

    Beat me to it! Glad to see I'm not the only one who over analyzes

  3. So based on assumptions if the Habs would have been in the lottery the pick would of gone to Nashville. The NHL dropped the balls in alphabetical order so having Montreal in there pushes those teams behind them back a slot. The fifth dropped ball would have been Nashville instead of New York. Just another piece of mind showing the Habs would not have won it. Pittsburgh not winning also helps. 

     

    Now I haven't studied how the logo size on the ball would of messed with the weight or aerodynamics. Maybe pushed some balls ahead of others. I'll leave that to someone else 😜

  4. So who are we cheering on in the lottery?

     

    My Preference (in this order):

    1) Wild

    2) Jets

    3) Preds

     

    While the other 5 I do not want to see win, the big no-no's are the Pens and the Leafs. Pens because it would always be said the Habs could of had Lafreniere. Leafs should be self explanatory.

    I am hoping Edmonton wins just because it would <annoy> me to see them get a 5th first-overall pick in the last 11 drafts (7th top three, 10th top 10, pick in that time) ... the three #1s in a row (10/11/12) were IMO embarrassing

     

    Plus our Chicago second round pick is slightly better at 40, compared to likely 47th or 48th if Chicago wins.

     

    But your reasons much the same reason I want the Leafs to win their series. I do not want them anywhere near the 1st overall pick.

  6. Seattle expected to announce their name, logo and colours tomorrow. 

     

    Some rumours out there expecting it to be the Seattle Sockeyes. I think we can also guess that green will be an element of the logo. I would love to see some yellow as well to keep with the old Supersonics theme. Always found the Golden Seals jerseys to be interesting. 

  7. Just another tidbit of information is that Team E of the play-in teams won the lottery with a 2.5% chance at the pick. Team E had the 12th best odds which if you go by points percentage would have been the Jets. 

     

    Believe you me I would of been upset if team A (The Habs) would of won it. Now the way I look at this from a Habs perspective is that we are playing with the houses money. If the regular season would of played out we likely never would of got to 12th last in the standings. If they would of just ended the season with the current standings we wouldn't of got those 12th odds. Even if they don't finish the playoffs we still have a 12.5% at it. Admittedly I was also at first upset that the play-in teams would of got equal odds at the won pick thinking that it still should of been based on win percentage (different odds) for the Stage 2 lottery but now I am content knowing we have a free shot.

    How will Sens make out tomorrow?

    Let's say hypothetically the Sens end up picking 5 & 6 tonight and the slots 1, 2 & 3 are all play-in teams. Do you throw your play-in knowing you have a 37.5% chance at a top three pick? I know players don't throw games but teams could maybe not put their best line-up out there. This scenario would be worst case for the NHL as I think it would make teams ponder. 

  9. Santa Clara County just banned gatherings of over 1000 people due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus in that County. This ban is set to last three weeks. The Sharks happen to play in that County so one would assume they are going to play in an empty building or move the games elsewhere. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out and if this gets adopted by other regions. Hopefully they get this virus under control. The Sharks next home game is March 19th vs the Habs.

    We gave up a 4th to get Thompson AND A 5TH

     

    so getting a straight 5th is actually better value. 

     

    You would always trade a fourth for two fifths? I guess your based on percentages of actually finding talent that far back but I would say at best they are an equal value.
