Montreal beat Carolina 4 to 2, so next up is first round tango with Washington Capitals.

Blue jackets maybe next year.

my picks off the top of my head.

Montreal over Washington
Ottawa over Toronto
Florida teams doesn’t matter either one.
Carolina over New Jersey

Winnipeg over St Louis
Minnesota over Vegas
Dallas over Colorado
Edmonton over Los Angeles

Totally opposite of what Gary Bettman looking for, with probably exception of US team matchups.

Montreal over Washington? That would be nice.
I'm posting this from Traditional lands of the British Empire & the current Lands of The Dominion of Canada.

I also give thanks for this ethos richness bestowed on us via British Colonialism.

I just hope next year they have some Refs who are not optically challenged. :130:

I know they a human and will miss some but they shouldn't need a seeing eye dog to help them make calls.

Anything could happen if Montreal goaltender gets hot.

Bumped up

Next up is the Draft (it’s a weak year), free agency probably going to be a busier than usual.


Hey Edmonton Oilers don’t forget to check out UFA defencemen and goaltenders.

I saw this and if the numbers are correct, it is sad. I did check averages in attendance ot games, and they are in the same range as the Oilers or Vancouver.

Can you imagine being a back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion and having 96.8% of the households in your market not tuned into the finals. That’s one of several reasons why hockey in Florida continues to be a joke!

Abbotsford is up 3 games to 1, game 5 happens Saturday in Abbotsford.

Charlotte is Florida Panthers farm club.

I heard this today.

WHY are the Leafs a failing club?? The age of their players. They make big money, and that's plenty. No need to bleed as I get paid the same.

Maybe true the younger gen doesn't look at succeeding the way the older ones do. Example, the old guys in Florida and Edmonton seemed to show desire!

Vegas traded 3,000,000 salary for a 11,600,000 salary, Mitch Marner is a Golden Knight.
Who is Vegas not going to renew the contract so they have enough Cap space, because Toronto didn’t keep any of Mitch’s contract.

Pietroangelo is done, so that will be a lot of cap relief.
