Who has the tie breaker between Mon/CLB?

Not too useful to use the season's series at this point, since ROW is the next tie breaker, but in case both points and ROWs are tied between two teams:

MTL = CBJ. MTL actually has 4 points to CBJ's 2, but the earlier win in Columbus gets tossed out, so it's 2-2.

MTL > CAR. Tossing out the early loss, it's 3-2.

CBJ = CAR. It's 4-4.

So, a lot of situations where it's still tied. The tie-breaker after that is goal differential. With CAR at +15, CBJ at +18, and MTL at +9, it's too close to call, especially since if there's a tie, it means MTL will have won games.

If all three teams are tied in PTS/ROW, you compute point percentage for all 3 teams in games played in their "group of three", tossing out the same extra home games as above. MTL has 5/8, CAR has 6/12, CBJ has 6/12. So MTL wins, and CBJ/CAR goes to goal differential.

A CJ led team not performing at the end of the regular season to secure a playoff berth.

Never seen this story before....

In all seriousness, it’s essentially becoming a trademark of Julien teams. He nearly did it three seasons in a row with the Bruins (he only missed doing it a third time because he was fired) and now is doing it with the Habs. I know they are not a great team at all on paper, but they were in very good position for quite some tine, even temporarily being ahead of the Bruins and Leafs not long ago.

Delusional. Keep convincing yourself.

He should get the rest of the season off. . .



Stretches across his body to get his left elbow on his right side to clip McQuaid in the head from behind away from the puck. Really couldn't be more intentional.

Yup, without a doubt that was a deliberate elbow to McQuaid's head.

All this talk in the media about banning fighting and the "code", it's crap like this that the league needs to focus on getting out of the sport. Hand him 20 games for that and see how fast he tucks his elbow in next time.
