Thanks. I expect that he also has a Calder bonus in his contract, right?
He’s worth every bonus and then some.. -
As someone who has dual citizenship I can absolutely assure you that over the years I’ve had worse overall experiences with French Canadian CBP than any anglophone or American agents.

Its a fan account.
Its also not even possible to send Arber to play in Laval, he wasn't papered down (nor should he have been) and can't play in the AHL playoffs.
Damn, I take it back then.
Apologies.

I want Xheraj back for the playoffs, but who do you replace om the D?
On that note this is what Arber just posted on Instagram.
Don’t like this one bit.

500lb gorilla is off their collective backs.
No pressure Habs might be a challenge for Washington.

1. If you’re going to disregard the rule book for an admittedly egregious error, then you have to find some fairness. Laine should have been able to shoot again.
I would expect there to be significant discussion, if Montreal misses the playoffs, about compensation for how this went down. I could see an extra pick sent our way.
2. I’m stunned by all the bitching by fans about MSL and the players and what we should have done, could have done etc etc. Go back to late November and ask yourself how you would have felt seeing this team fighting for the playoffs in the last games of the season.
The *only* reason we’re here is MSL and his coaching and enabling of the players both on and off the ice. This team is, what, the second youngest in the league? We’ve done, by far, the best rebuild of any team I’ve seen recently. Three years from garbage to a team that’s on the cusp of great things.
Stop whining and enjoy the ride!
The voice of reason.
And a sight for sore eyes to boot.
Nice to see you back.
Hoping you stick around! -
Should’ve given Laine a retake.
(Just so we can watch him miss twice 🤦🏻♂️)

If they thought the pressure was high tonight just wait till Wednesday.

Alright.
Enough of this shit.

I liked Demidov’s skating right away, from his first shift. I was like - hm, this kid can really move.
Watching him that period gave me goosebumps. It made me think it might actually be possible to have a superstar FW on the CH…not a thought I have entertained in my adult life.
As much as I’ve been cynical about the hysteria over Demidov, that’s what it really speaks to: a fan base that had decades of superstars and has had no such player (apart from goalies) since 1980 or so. Montreal is desperately hungry for that. That’s why the crowd was swooning over Laine in preseason.
I’m not saying Demidov will be that guy, but after that period, I’m sure not gonna say he won’t!!
That said, there were things I didn’t like about the team game in that period. Too loose in our end, as though caught up in the excitement. The main thing tonight is still to win and punch our ticket to the playoffs.
I feel you pain. Superstar after superstar has come into the league and we’ve been on the outside looking in.
We’ve been deprived for decades.
Our time has come.
Trust me.

He's so ####ing good.
It’s not even funny.
Between him, Lane and Nick we’re about to be spoiled for a while.

Marty did say he was gonna give Laine the odd shift there when the situation calls for it. Offensive zone draw, 18 seconds to play, it made sense.
Last two shifts had laine with them I believe. -
OMG
I NEED A CARIOLOGIST STAT!!!

Am thinking the place will go bonkers if 93-48 link up on a goal.
Cant imagine he will get a crack on 2nd PP unit yet (but has been struggling), will he?
No offense but I’d be slapping him on PP1 the way Slaf has been playing.
Can’t be any worse.

Well you can throw my prediction out the window.

Id like columbus to lose today so we can give out some rest days over the next couple games or at least one rest day by us winning tomorrow.
Boys could use a break.
I think Washington beats Columbus today.
Only cause Columbus made it a rout yesterday and they decided to physically beat on them too.
Washington knows that if Columbus wins out they face might face them in the 1st round and I don’t think they’d want to on the back of two losses.
That my wishful thinking logic at least. -

I hope Washington finishes the job tonight but it would be exciting if Suzuki clinches it with an OT winner on Wednesday night.
Spare me the fireworks!!!-
