Dermott could have had a cup of coffee before giving chase to Byron on his game winning goal and he still would have caught him.

I mean neutering the Habs tonight does sound decent

Yeah I've said it from the start, I know Sandin is likely good for the PP... But Dermott is literally your best rush defender, against a team that only has rush offense lol. He's been solid the whole season.

Key game today.
Let's see if this team is for real.
Nylander didn't score, and they lose. Need the big guy to step up.

We have been better after intermissions through most of the series, so the first period will be key. Keep it even at worst after 20 minutes and we'll win.
The only time in this series where “game flow” favoured the Habs was period 1 game 1. We trended down last game but overall we’re still better. Doesn’t mean jack over a short period of time, especially if it comes down to OT, but we should be able to win according to stats.
Anything can happen but Leafs just have to keep playing the way they do and hope for better luck.
Also....yes “close this shit out”
This pretty much matches what we’ve all seen. We’ve been the far better team this series, and if that continues tonight, we’ll be in good shape.
Price is playing extremely well, but he’s still beatable.
I trust in Campbell to bounce back today, and we’ll close this thing out

I have a hard time believing they will put Sandin in again today.
I really thought Sandin could skate faster until I saw that goal in Game 1.
If he doesn't have another gear then its not good for him or the Leafs.
He can't survive in the NHL as a small, slow defenceman. It won't work.

Put Muzzin on PP1. Marner can carry the puck up the ice. Rielly on PP2.
Seems like an easy solution.
Sandin has shown a lot of flashes. Gonna be a great player for us. Dermott is the guy we gotta go with right now.

Well, that's it then! I'm betting my house on you, man.
He barely played in periods 2 and 3. So yeah, I imagine Keefe is putting Dermott back in lol.
I am more curious about whether Foligno is good to go, and who comes out. I imagine Brooks.

This was the first time I’ve heard of it. Doesn’t appear to be cost-worthy yet.
Upfront costs, however, could be a barrier to some. Rekounas paid $820 for the required Starlink hardware, a satellite receiving dish, modem, power supply and 100 feet of cable. The subscription fee is $130 a month.

Completely different sport, but the Toronto Raptors jumped out to a 3-1 series lead against the Golden State Warriors and had the chance to close out out at Scotiabank in Game 5 and lost on a missed buzzer beater. A lot of doom and gloom scenarios raced through ones mind at that point. What would their chances be winning one on the road? Surely Game 7 is a 50/50 at best against a defending champion?
Similar dynamics here from a psychological point of view, but keep in mind the Montreal Canadiens are the farthest thing possible from a defending cup champion, and their ace in the hole Carey Price has been doing "excellent" work spotting Toronto 3 goals on average since Game 2.

He was on for an ~80 second shift, changing direction against one of the fastest skaters in the league.
While he's not fleet of foot, I wouldn't use that single instance as a measuring stick

Yup. This whole series has been there's to lose. It's somewhat unsettling. Leafs should have had the sweep instead of Winnipeg. Montreal has been extremely opportunistic. That's how they have survived through this series so far. Incredibly opportunistic. That and f***in Price.

Can someone please clarify: the winner of the second round, Leafs/Habs vs Jets, faces the winner of Avs/Golden Knights?

If Toronto wins, they'd play the winner of Tampa/Carolina.
Winnipeg would play Vegas/Colorado.
