Im not so sure the Hbas are a lottery team

That Kotkaniemi kid looks really good.. Price is still a GOAT.. If they're in the mix when Weber comes back they could make a playoffs push..

Just tuned in bout 10 mins ago.

42 shots through 2?

Sounds like Careys being Carey.

Which the Canadians are really going to need this year.

18 shots. 42 shot attempts. Habs actually outshooting the Leafs and it’s been a pretty even game. Opening night. poop happens.

They might hang around for a bit but you see the difference between these teams. Even if Toronto isnt getting shots/chances they are always dangerous with the puck. Takes Montreal a good 2-3 shifts to generate some pressure. There’s no Tavares/Matthews/Mariner/Kadri in Montreal.

But if they play with speed they could be a vegas underdog type team.. They have the goaltending..

Reading that Sportsnet article about Tavares in the intermission. Just came across this part. Damn, nice to read.

From article: He needed to know that if he was signing for seven years, Matthews would be there with him. He had the GM’s assurances, but he wanted the player’s, too. So Tavares came right out and asked, one cornerstone to another. “He said 100 per cent without a doubt,” Tavares says. “I know how committed he is and how bad he wants to be here.”

Matthews confirms: “I just wanted to make sure he knew that myself, everybody else, wanted him here.”


Sorry AZ.

Rip on the team not the city. Love Ottawa but the team still is a dumpster fire.

That was something else though with the tornados.

Oh agreed.
I said earlier the habs won’t be bottom feeders but I don’t believe they’ll make the playoffs. Right in the middle.
IMO

Kotkaniemi looks pretty good for you guys though. Something to be happy about. Kid looks really good.
