As long as the PP stays hot, let them take more penalties.

Suzuki, Caufield, Demidov 0 shots Hutson 1g 2 shots 8:27 Josh 0pts 3 shots 2 hits 3:08

Thanks you Corey Perry.

Will they go home up 2-0 in series? A nice lopsided victory, with a pulled Vasilevsky would be lots of fun to see happen.

Crosby 7 shots in the 2 games so far, no pts.

Go Sens! Take em to 4 OT periods!

Marty aint touching the lineup. You know that.

100% rose-coloured glasses. 100% charging.

Other than when McDonagh crumpled him into the boards. Maybe that help fire him up. (i was just glad he got up mad and not injured)

That meant a total overhaul for the Rocket offence, with Vinzenz Rohrer making his AHL debut alongside Owen Beck and Sean Farrell. Dillan Bentley, Josh Nadeau, and Vincent Arseneau rounded out the forward group. On defence, it was a debut for Aiden Dubinsky, as he slotted in next to Tobie Bisson on the first pair. Laval will now have some time off as they await the winner of the three-game series between the Toronto Marlies and Rochester Americans which kicks off this week. The opening date is not yet confirmed, but the Rocket will have home ice for their five-game series.

Slafkovski seems to have Tampa's number this year. Go get em big fella. Tampa goalie poo pooed Dobes great stats to finish the season. Basically saying just a short sample not like a long resume like mine. OK Andrei in your last few playoffs you havent done shite. Is the 31 going on 32year old, with 700+ NHL games played, getting worn out by end of regular seasons? 10 Thoughts: Slafkovsky leads Habs to a 4-3 OT win in Game One – HabsWorld.net First Star: Juraj Slafkovsky (3g, 0a, 7 shots, -1, 2 hits, 21:11 TOI) was a force to be reckoned with. Not only did he score the third-ever Habs overtime hat trick (and the first ever power play hat trick) in the playoffs, but he was smart, he was physical, he drew a penalty, and was a threat whenever he was on the ice. Forget Brady Tkachuk, the Habs look to have something much more than that in Slafkovsky. ... Third Star: Josh Anderson (1g, 0a, 1 shot, +1, 1 block, 4 hits, 14:47 TOI) had shifted into his playoff gear and nearly had a second goal to add to the one he scored in the first period. Nearly 15 minutes on the ice included three-and-a-half minutes of penalty killing time. Anderson is not the player the fans expected when he arrived, but he is an excellent fit for the role Martin St-Louis has assigned to him.

Tampa just didnt seem that threatening, was it an off-game for them? Didnt seem to be that physical, quick or dangerous and just 23 shots. 4 goals on 19 shots, love it.

Habs win Bruins lose, good evening.

1 down 15 to go. 1st line 7 points Demidov 1a 2 shots 16:34 Hutson 1a 2 shots 29:00

Caufield with the OT winner would be a nice way to finish.

2 PP goals by each team.

Glad they tied it up anyways.

At least Tampa only has 2 shots in the 2nd

Bit too high it seemed.

Rohrer 1g1a 2nd star of game in loss.

Getting more than 4 shots in the 2nd should be a focus.

1g lead after 1, is OK. 8 shifts 9 minutes for Matheson. I miss Dobson.

DROP THE PUCK! Lets get it on.

Prime example why cap increases are pretty much meaningless and why i really dont know why fans get excited about it. Contending GMs will spend to the cap and work every loophole they can find to squeeze or spend every cent they can, be it $50, 80 or 200m. “It depends on term and it depends on if they go to marketplace,” one agent explained. “If Makar’s going to stay in Colorado, he’s going to make less than he would by not staying. If he put himself out to market, there would be a team that would give him $20 million. If Hughes goes to open market, he could get $18-20 million. But it really depends on where. Do you want to make $20 million on a losing team or do you want to make $15 million on Minnesota, who always makes the playoffs and has a shot?” NHL agent poll: Best and worst-run teams, biggest contract, future commissioner - The Athletic
