Nice start to the playoffs for the habs. Hopefully Perry is able to return to the game in the 2nd. Josh Anderson is great.

Jake Evans won’t be returning not sure how he got injured but if it’s long term Kk should draw in

What a boring game. First time in years that I'm tuning out of a playoff game. Contrats DD, you've brought conservative hockey to new heights.

Paul freaking Byron!

Great goal at a great time

Why do we have to take so many stupid penalties

Thank god Toronto’s PP is just as bad as ours.

LET’S GO! My 3 stars for the habs:

⭐️ - Carey Price
⭐️⭐️ - Josh Anderson
⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Paul Byron

Can’t believe I’m saying this but we won!!! Now let’s see if we can win another one

Yep, Price main reason we won and then the 2 goal scorers

Ok, that didn't aged well. Still, the 2nd period was horrendous. And watching that PP trying to get at it is downright painful.

Yep, both teams PP suck, some parts were just boring while others were really exciting

it's almost like we treat PPs as 2 minutes where they can't score, and nothing else.

KK baby!

Now that was a vintage November 1st, 2018 goal (#2). Awesome to see Jesperi break out of his slump.

Followed up by ref being in the way resulting in a goal, where does the NHL find these refs

This team looks like the habs from the start of the season, both in terms of positives and negatives.

I wrote this 4 months and 1 day ago. It also applies now.

Discipline and refs were probably our biggest problem yesterday, well at least we won 1 of the road game, now if we can win at least 1 home game that would be great

Well weird things are happening at practice today. Tatar wasn’t practicing on the team’s lines or PP units to start, but now they’re saying that he’s in, and Staal is out since he is “not 100%”. So maybe the plan was for Tatar to be scratched, but then Staal got injured in practice and they put him back in the lineup? Weird. Anyways, Caufield is in the lineup to replace Staal, and Byron is playing C.

Also Chiarot - Weber are back together, which I guess is fine, but I’ve been warming up to Merrill - Weber and Kulak - Chiarot.

So the lines at practice today were:
Byron - Danault - Anderson
Armia - Suzuki - Caufield
Toffoli - Kotkaniemi - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Staal - Perry

Which I’m assuming would change into:
Tatar - Danault - Anderson
Armia - Suzuki - Caufield
Toffoli - Kotkaniemi - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Byron - Perry

So Ovi says the Bell Center is his favorite arena, do you guys see MB offering him a deal/him taking a team friendly deal to go to Montreal ?

Anyone can offer Ovechkin a contract, but he’s never going to sign anywhere other than Washington or Moscow.

So apparently switch Lehkonen & Tatar. That’s an interesting look.

So Lehkonen is out now. Our centre depth is really being tested, with Evans, Staal, Poehling, and Blandisi out with injury (in addition to Weal signing elsewhere). Frolík or Belzile are probably the best wingers available, and Dauphin is probably our best healthy centre that isn’t in the lineup.
