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!!!-

Side note here, but on Price and rebounds, I will say that he is the only goalie I’ve ever seen who could actually control rebounds to such an extent that he used them to propel the transition game. He would literally deflect a rebound to start a counter-attack and do so on a regular basis.
It’s hard not to feel good about Dobes, who seems to have the right mindset. But I love your assessment of how he can go from good to great.
No one is willing to say this, and I get it, because the kid is a rookie. But I’m not sure that he isn’t already in Hughes/Makar territory. Not better than those guys, because no one is, but not far off at all. I dunno what the advanced stats say. He is simply unbelievable.
I’m wiling to say it and I'm totally comfortable with having people look at me like I have 3 heads.
I especially get very defensive when they use the “secondary assist merchant” argument.
If they actually watched him play they would know that those goals are primarily driven by his insane ability to maintain possession and create high quality chances out of thin air.
My eyes know what they see and they are not wrong.
This kid is an absolute magician.

How will the critics react when Demidov has his 1st slump next year, how will he react.
Slafkovski has at times been pretty vocal about his own poor play.
No offense but Slaf needs to get his head out of his ass.
When he’s on he’s great.
But when he’s off he’s absolutely brutal.

10 Thoughts: Dobes shuts out Maple Leafs for 60 minutes, but Habs lose in OT – HabsWorld.net
When Knies stopped to do a spin-around and pass the puck, Hutson anticipated his move and blocked the pass with his stick, breaking up the Toronto attack. An extraordinary player indeed, with far more than just offence, even in his rookie year.
I’ve been watching this damn team for 40+ years.
There hasn’t been a single defenseman that does the things this kid does.
Night in, night out he blows my damn mind.
Cannot even begin to verbalize how blessed I feel to have him on our team.

All sounds good.
Boy oh boy I can’t imagine two ultra talented and work driven on this team.
Dynamism we haven’t seen in our lifetime.

I didn't realize the Doug Gilmour smashed glass incident in the penalty box was held in such high regard... Anytime I see a Montreal jersey and 93, that's the first thing I always think of.
Such and overrated moment imo -
Columbus just tied it 🤬

Hughes deserves full credit. He played the deadline exactly right, in retrospect - neither weakening a team that has ended up (almost certainly) making the dance, nor shipping out assets unnecessarily. He challenged the team to rise and they sure did.

Nashville doing the lords work.
Finish them off!

If we play Washington in the first, we'd get Carolina/Jersey winner in second (if we win vs Washington)
Id gladly take Jersey.
Close enough for us to make it to a game or two.

Ottawa is only three points ahead of us! I wouldn't mind a first-round match-up with the Leafs. 😁
My heart couldn’t handle a first round matchup.
Id take them in the second though.

It wasnt pretty but he made the saves. Credit for that
There’s been a noticeable trend with Dobes over his last couple of starts.
He looks jaded to start and somehow finds some kind of groove after he gets peppered.

Demidov 0pts 2 shots 16:11 in loss.

I will eat a 6 inch piece of shit with no salt on it before I ever. Ever ever cheer for the leafs.
I hate them with every ounce of my being but I cheered hard for them tonight and I feel ZERO guilt. -
The IQ on Nick is otherworldly.
Period.

I’ll be screaming GO LEAFS GO from the top of the Connecticut mountains tonight thank you very much.

Has anyone else watched highlights of Suzuki's tying and winning goals at least 10 times this morning? I see it everywhere, on facebook reels, in my X feed....and I can't stop clicking on them and smiling every time I watch them.
My X feed has been flooded since late last night.
And I feel zero shame to admit that i've watched every single one.
Hearing Pierre Houde always does something for my libido...

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.
