Tampa, Washington or Toronto would be a first round matchup should the Habs make the playoffs. Yikes.

I think the leafs can be had, particularly if Andersen’s game slides a bit, which it has every single one of his post seasons played.

Ya Anderson might drop the ball, but Matthews would score about 15 goals in that series. I want no part of that.

Especially with that PK and with guys like Shaw, Weber, Gallagher, Domi, Drouin, Lekhonen, Tatar, Benn on our side... AKA the dumb penalty group.

I live in the city and watch pretty much all of their games. Of all the “contenders”, they’re the easiest candidate to choose to have an early upset loss. They have one or two holes yet to be truly feared like the other teams mentioned, and they just aren’t built for playoff success. Boston gooned them up early on Saturday night and 90% of the roster phoned in the rest of the game.

That Pettersson kid in Vancouver is pretty damn good! Wow!

I understand, but I just don't think the Habs are one of those teams that could really exploit those weaknesses. Besides Price just cannot stop Matthews.

We probably have but screwed their development up.

AHL deal. Nothing earth shattering. But former Laval Rocket Adam Cracknell has been traded to Anaheim.

 

[sandviper]

I get the dives by the two closest to the puck carrier but WTF is that third guy doing?

Trying to know what it feels like to do a post-game Carolina Hurricans celebration?

A bunch of unappealing games tonight.

LMAO agreed!

Look out folks. The best team in the league has a heating up Stamkos and they're about to get Vasilevsky back. What's the modern day regualr season points record because I think they might be able to beat that

It was our very own Montreal Canadiens with 132 points in the 1976-77 season.

watched a little of the wings - kings game to see DLR vs Scherbak. It's the first non Habs NHL game i've watched in years. I thought DLR looked good out there, he had an assist. Scherbak was ok, played more then I thought he would.

DLR with 17 pts in his last 74 games, on pace for 21 pts this year.

Choose one heck of an entertaining match up to watch your first non Habs game...loll

Montreal has a NHL, AHL, Q, CFL and MLS team, and theyre all doing fine.

Winnipeg is half the size

Even less.

What part of Nanaimo are you in? I lived in Harewood for a good while.

Unfortunately I've lived in Harewood since '04. We moved here when my father got promoted because the cost of living was cheap and there wasn't much crime, but in recent years years the city has been plagued by homelessness, lack of jobs, and lots of property crime, with Harewood being one of the neighbourhoods being hit hardest. I'm considering moving back to Pierrefonds-Roxboro (where I grew up) or Laval when I'm done school. I love Nanaimo but it's turning into a difficult place to live. I don't think I can realistically afford to start a family with the cost of living here.

 

[jaffy27]

Montreal is sitting around 1.8m

Winnipeg around 800k

Then you figure the surrounding cities....Montreal has Ottawa, Quebec City, Trois Rivière, Sherbrook......Winnipeg has......Brandon?? Lol

It’s too bad cause Vancouver Island is gorgeous. Love Comox, Victoria too.

Yeah the whole Island is just awesome. So many beautiful sights to see, so many interesting people to meet.

The Montreal metropolitan area , which is the relevant statistic, includes 4 milllion people.
