Hopefully Detroit wants the playoffs more than the Habs want to be a spoiler. I think we will probably need Detroit to be successful for the next two games

Picture made me LOL

Interesting stat comparison between Dach and Newhook

Detroit is going to crush us tonight. Still hope for a Hutson hatty

Yeah he had three okay seasons for a bottom six player followed by three not very good seasons at all. Inconsistent effort has been Armia’s calling card too. No thanks

All this talk about Armia is why he got a ridiculous contract in the first place. Let’s not be fooled into giving him another one! Half a great, surprising season vs. a career of mediocrity.

Montreal loss with at least one point from Arizona guarantees 5th. Make it happen boys

Arizona should celebrate with winning their last two games 🎉

The third period and OT were some crazy stuff. Thankfully we only got one point. I thought Ottawa was terrible in OT, keeping their Dman at centre when they were in our zone is stupid.

Yeah I certainly don’t want a win but a Caufield hatty would be nice. NHL reffing is ridiculous

The Sens are so sloppy with the puck. Fun period full of chances and sloppy, dirty play by the Sens. Barron has improved defensively and he looked good

Pearson out Ylonen in Primeau in net

Breaking the rules here but no GDT so here it is. Seriously, we need to lose this one

Like last year’s Panthers

Losing to Ottawa tonight would certainly help

That’s what Reinbacker is for 🎉

I had a similar concern about Caufield and he is fine. Yes Caufield does get clobbered sometimes but he has managed his stature all his life. I expect Hutson to be okay in that area but I’m unsure if he can get away with some of his high danger manoeuvres.

Good thoughts Tom I suspect that Matheson is here to stay. The only scenario where I see him moved is for a first line forward. I would bet that Savard is traded at the deadline and Reinbacker takes his roster spot. I think the plan is to keep Guhle on the right side unless maybe we draft another RD this draft. I expect Matheson to be deadline traded 2025/2026 season with the hope that Hutson takes his spot I think one of Harris, Barron, Struble, Kovasevic are not on the team next season. I think that Guhle and Reinbacker are similar in style - can play all areas of the ice but are primarily defensive minded. They both can score but it’s not their bread and butter. I think Reinbacker is suited to Hutson long term. Hopefully they both hit their potential.

I’m looking forward to seeing if his game translates to the NHL. Not expecting to have that question answered over two games but it’s a start

Habs have a back to back against Detroit to end the season and Detroit is in a battle for a wildcard so I’m expecting a very good Red Wings team.

I really dislike that crybaby German bastard but go Sens go

You got your one point 🎉
