    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!

    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.

    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.
