hmm, a short term deal taking him right to UFA, this sounds familiar…seems to be what all RFAs are going to push for in small markets….NHL quickly going the way of the NBA

And Fleury gives the Canadiens a chance they don’t deserve

And they win it after dominating OT. Fleury might have just changed the series

Thanks Andy! 1st #bucciovertimechallenge win!

Yep...

And Weekes being Paul Theofanous's puppet again.. sounds pretty familiar...

Counterpoint: Staal gifted the Knights their first goal. Does the game even go to OT with the way Price is playing without that error?

Happy the Habs are in front...not holding my breath they win the series though.

That was a HUGE save by Pulock. Great defense.

I love how they just hug him instead of the goalie!

Incredible sense to not close his hand over it. Just brilliant.

I thought the Isle was playing well enough to give Tampa a run - this playoffs has been extremely exciting. I would still bet on Vegas vs TB, but certainly all 4 teams have impressed. Some one discribed this as a dump & chase playoffs - totally disagree this is the year of the outlet pass - free wheeling hockey being played & Caufield did it better than anyone.

I think both series are very much up in the air. Montreal is going to go as far as Price carries them. If he comes back down, then Montreal is probably done. That block may have swung the Isles series, at least I hope so. I like when a team makes a play like that and just rides the momentum. Tampa won't just go away though.

Officially red alert time for Vegas. Oh man

Starting Lehner seemed like an over reaction to Fleury's mistake. Vs Price you need someone that can stand on their head -

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Nice try montreal but that was your shot. Vegas in 6

 

[Jovavic]

Just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that Slavin, a defenseman, won the Lady Byng with only one minor penalty all season long, and that being a delay of game for lifting the puck over the glass. Truly a remarkable achievement given how fast the players are today.

 

[cslebn]

Caulfield sure looks good for MTL these playoffs. Andy finally showing some signs of life.

And my kids gave me a knights shirt bwahahaha. Go knights go.

lol

lol

i mean It was red alert time. They responded and won. Now it’s a best of 3 with home ice. Series is done. Probably in 6

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

lol

I was gonna let it go (GDT-esque) but I noticed it too.

I guess they responded to the red alert?

I thought red alert was a Caps thing.

One of these days you'll figure out how much randomness is involved in ice hockey. Until then, abstain from betting.

I have performed quite well in my gambling endeavors actually, not as random as you think

 

[EspenK]

Interesting take on playoff officiating. I totally agree with Spector.

NHL - Sportsnet.ca

You have to scroll down to find it. Apparently it doesn't change the url. Or its another example of my tech incompetence?
