I want the Canadians to win the Cup at this point. I would like to see a Canadian team finally break the streak and win won. Go Habs Go!

As a painful reminder, I drove to Montreal on March 20 after watching the Red Wings pull out a late winner against the Habs at LCA the night before - the two teams were tied in the standings with 84 points through 69 games!

As much as I want the steak to continue there’s no way in hell I’m ever pulling for Tom Dundon with the bs he’s pulling with the Trailblazers.  

F that guy

Wonder if Alex Tuch cost himself some money with his playoff performance (probably not). 

Seven points in six games in round one but then didn't manage a point in seven games in round two, which is crazy with the Sabres scoring 25 goals against the Habs.  Free agency is so bad overall it probably won't matter one bit but it was definitely interesting to see him disappear last round. 

Seems like a lot of people have been hot and cold this playoffs, but it has certainly been entertaining.

Kasparaitis, now that's a name I haven't thought about in a while.  Probably celebrated with a knee on knee hit after the goal

Must mean guys most likely to be moved? 

This is what Seravalli says about Cossa:

"First round pick Sebastian Cossa's overseasoning in Detroit appears to have backfired on GM Steve Yzerman, now somehow behind Trey Augustine and Michal Postava in the pecking order."

Claude insists Cossa is exempt next season but Grok says he is not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyway, I expect him to be part of a blockbuster trade this offseason.

Seravalli never gets anything Red Wings related right, seems like he's out here just guessing

Flying start to Habs-Canes series. 1-1 one minute in.

[lordstanley]

Beaten on that 2nd goal, but how can Gostisbehere have been cast off by the Wings but gets regular  minutes with top seed Carolina? 50 pts in 55 games this season, $3.2mm cap hit.

4-1 Habs, 11 minutes in. Hmmm..

 

[lordstanley]

French and then English, actually. Well done, classy.

 

[lordstanley]

Beauty goal by Slafkosky might be enough.

Vegas up 2-0 in games with a come from behind win. 4-team race for the Cup now. 

[GalagaGuy]

Colorado and their fans seem to have underestimated Vegas.   What's wild is that the Red Wings actually won more games than Vegas this season.
