I think it's the opposite. They shouldn't have suspended Buch because if they did what they had to do with Wilson, none of what happened yesterday would've, you know, happened in the 1st place

No, come on now, they had to suspend Buch, and he deserved it. I think the DoPS f*cked up with Wilson and should rectify (or at least admit to) their error, but the way to do that isn't by letting someone else off the hook.

On a complete side note, though - It's pissing me off how this play and similar ones are getting 1-2 game punishments when Kadri, granted he was a repeat offender, got the remainder of a playoff series. I will die mad about that.

Kadri's punishment was getting exiled from Canada. Now I'm praying for a Leafs/Avs series, lol.

No, because they have way more games remaining than any other team because of their COVID situation. They have 9 games left while everyone else has from 5 to 2 games remaining.

No

Buchnevich got a 1 game suspension which he absolutely deserved. You can't crosscheck someone in the face and also after looking and thinking i can start to see both sides of the argument for the Tom Wilson incident

I think VAN needs to run the table and MTL needs to lose out, correct? I guess that would make MTL's magic number: 1 point?

No, actually if Montreal wins tonight they tie Vancouver's max points possible

As Kk15 said If Montréal wins in any fashion and Vancouver loses in any fashion or if Montréal gets one point and Vancouver loses in regulation, the Canadiens will clinch a playoff spot.

habs are not having a great time

I mean, Primeau is playing awful, but I feel bad for him. He'll stay in net the whole game though, it's a good experience for a rookie goalie nonetheless

YOU DON'T WHISTLE IT DOWN BECAUSE THE PLAYERS CELEBRATE, IF YOU THINK IT'S IN, YOU BLOW.


You've lost your whistle privileges

Well we aren't clinching today

In other news, Jeff Carter is leading Buffalo 4-3 tonight early in the 3rd period.

MATTHEWS HIT 40

Kinda scary how respectively way too young players, 16 year old Matvei Michkov and 15 year old Connor Bedard are absolutely dominating the U18 World Championships here.

It's insane how good they are already. And they're not draft eligible in two years.

I'm 23 and starting to have an age crisis on hand.

Well, don’t google McDavids age/ yearly earnings then..

Don't say things like that it's tantamount of me telling you I'm depressed and you're just giving me a rope to hang myself.

Love him or hate him, you gotta admit he's having a pretty magical season.

Man puts puck in net.







But on the real; I hope Matthews realizes he could become the best player in the planet (I know maybe he believes in himself), but I think y’all get what I mean, if he puts forth the effort to keep improving he’s gonna be unstoppable - if he “isn’t” already

Would've scored 60 already if he had the Leafs legend Jeremy Bracco with him just saying.

So Mikko Koskinen got pulled 12 minutes in after letting in 4 goals on 4 shots.

Mike Smith has more points tonight than Koskinen had saves

Lmao dudes looking great!

He will never be McDavid, but he could be a solid #2!
