McKinnon himself said Danault is the hardest guy to play against. That and Price in their heads and Avs may stumble

The system as it has lead to a brawl filled game already this season. I thought that was supposed to be leaving the game. If the league doesn't fix their issue, we will see more players feeling the need to settle scores on the ice. I tell you now, if there is no suspension there will be a scrap off the draw in game 2. Does the league just miss fighting?

Yes, but if a committee was formed with a rep from each team to hand out discipline, the players interests and concerns for safety would be forefront in all actions. As it stands the leagues interests, which are purely financial, are being protected with a farce of a system. There is no consistency. Let the players handle it. Not a clown who owes his job to the league and their interests.

Before this comes down as the slap on the wrist it will be, I want to say that NHL Players Safety should not be under the NHL governors but should be a board run by the union, with the players, not the leagues interests being considered.

Shannahan 5 games or more, Parros 5k, my guess

I called for 4 posts in a row. I sure hope they prove me wrong tonight. Go Habs Go!!

I was disappointed with the results vs Jets all season. Felt we out played them but lost a few we should have won. Figure it balances now Habs in 5

I told you all Joe was up for 4 straight threads. MB built the team, DD is brilliant. Go Habs Go!

In spite of coaching and management? I don't believe that happens. I agree on Staal and the 2 point men. Hard to not argue that. I have said so often to my son, I wish Staal would score here to get me feeling like I did after his first game. Kept hoping his playoff game would be a higher level. It isn't. I don't get how Romanov is not in and I am still confused by Mete. Anderson brings a ton leading in both hits and shots. Perry has been a good addition. Toffoli was a steal. All in all, I think we are now on a right path. Win or lose game 7 this team is only going to improve next year. Toronto will be the same. No killer instinct. lol. Think how leaf fans feel about the Big Joe addition now. Gandolf vs Bilbo. Rather our seats than theirs at the moment. No? Did you expect to be where we are when the pucked drop on game 1 of the season? I would happily have taken game 7 vs leafs having come back from 3-1 in the series. Here we are. Not worth complaining over success, even if it is a small step. Go Habs Go!

One of my sons girlfriends sent him a selfie in tears at one point of the game, so much fun.

....and still no cup.. but it will come!

WOW! go read the thread for game 7 on the laughs HFBoards. They are in pain. Blow up the team, fire Dumbass. Sounds like a bunch of posters I know. LOL

Fire DD Fire MB, no idea what they are doing, built a team that can't compete. Team has no clue. Wah!!! Oh wait, they are great now. Ignore what was said.... Putzs. Go Habs Go. Told you Joe was making 4 straight posts. If you complained after game 4 and gave up hope your Kraken jerseys are available in your local stores. Habs built for playoffs by MB. Coached to shut down the likes of Matthews and McDavid by DD. Fire them both. Not a clue between them. Again. Putzs.

So Joe is posting 4 straight game day threads? I am down for that. Go Habs Go!!

I dont know what the complaining is about. Team dominated in the 3rd. We need to play 60 minutes like that tonight and go back to Toronto needing 2 of 3 games. Want to see Suzuki between Toffoli and Caulfield and Danault Tatar Gally againg Matthews line.

We need to force Toronto to play a grinding game, not wheeling with the puck. Play like Boston against Washington. Clog up the neutral zone and force the play to the boards. Finish every hit. I had high hopes when I saw Toronto come out hitting in the 1st last night. That is not their game. Force them to play a tight game and we stand a chance. Go Habs Go!!

Other than the Tavares injury that was a great game. I hope he heals well. 1 game down and 3 to go. The streak continues! 15 more wins to go......

Last game they beat us in a playoff was '67. Let's keep the streak intact. Habs in 4. Go Habs Go!!!!!

Culture dictated by media and fanbase who are far to over critical

Your comment was not on asset management but drafting flops. I say you are wrong. You said last 15 years which includes Price regardless of management team. Please debate with sense

Price, flop, Sergachev, Flop, Tinordi Flop. KK flop, Caufield flop, McDonagh Flop, Beaulieau Flop, Galchenyuk Flop. Hmm, Maybe you are right...... (shakes his head and leaves the room).

We were anything but stacked at the center position when we drafted KK. You use Suzuki, Evans and Poehling the reason not to draft him. Did we have any of these in our roster even at the time????? Again, with the crystal ball. Poehling was anything but a top pick and surely wasn't and isn't going to be a number 1 center. You saw Evans becoming an NHL center? That is an amazing skill. Again, go on the record and tell us who exactly we need to draft this year.

I wouldn't go that far, but yes we are the underdogs. Leafs have 2 big things going against them. Firstly it is the playoffs, enough said on that. Secondly, they are the Leafs. The last times Leafs beat us in a series they were as much an underdog or maybe even more so, than we are now. We can win this.

Can't be afraid of a team that hasn't beaten us in a playoff game since 1967.......

And you possess a crystal ball to see the future? Please tell us, who should we draft this year? You seem to think these are obvious to everyone but MB. Tell us please. Then we will see in a few seasons just how great you would be. The bunch of you are complaining that MB couldn't see Tkachuk would be ahead of KK in development 3 years ahead? SMH and wondering why I bother.
