    For one, how could anyone really base how good a team was based on that screwy regular season?  Montreal was built for the playoffs…they got derailed by the covid protocols and had to finish the season playing 25 games in 43 days…that’s a tough grind for any team…

    at the beginning of the season I thought Montreal could contend.  Obviously the regular proved me wrong.  The playoffs are a different story.

    I know many on here will disagree…Montreal has a bright future.  Montreal’s biggest problem for years has been a void at the centre ice position…Suzuki, KK and Danault have filled the void at center…Add in Caulfield who is a natural goal scorer…

    if you win the middle you stand a good chance of winning…

    why did LA let Toffoli go?  


    Rebuild and they got draft picks and some kids.  TT was a fan favorite

    TT a real fan favourite in Montreal as well.

    I missed the 1st period…so I did not see what happened to Kutcherov.  The Sportsnet crew were commenting on a missed call.  I see Chris Lee missed the call.   That dude should be fired…he’s the worst referee I’ve ever seen, the dude flat out sucks and buttface allows this asshole to still be employed…Hope Nikita will be ok.

    Cross check to the back,  probably ribs. 

    This 5-3 is bs

    Chris Lee is a terrible ref.  He reffed the 2 games in Montreal…That don’t call much and now they decide to call penalties…

    2-0 Tampa.  I don’t  see the Islanders coming back…

    The Islanders need better goaltending and I’m not impressed with Trotz in this series…

    Tampa a great team.  I hope Montreal gets to play them for the Cup…

    Cooper has done a great job.

    Agree there…

    The NHL needs a deterrent against that kind of play … I just don’t see the nhl calling the playoffs by the book.  Maybe they should make players serve the entire 2 minute penalty like they do with major penalties.  With the Tampa PP…that might be a deterrent…

    Game 7 is a heart attack when your team is in

    Attended a SCF game that went to OT (kings vs devil's) and an OT game in person in the Finals is a damn heart attack as well.
    Playoffs!

    The Mayfield cross check was a bit dirty but that didn’t affect the outcome the Isles never give up, game 7 anything is possible man what a series..

    Kucherov not being 100% and Barzal came to play.  Looks good for them and to be in the best place possible!

    Go Isles!!!!

    Exciting finish to both of these series. Hopefully the habs can put it away tonight. I have no faith in Game 7's!

    The NHL has been allowing these cross checks all playoffs.  It’s not right.  I hate the hacking and whacking that the league allows…Chris Lee was looking directly at the cross check and did not call anything…Lee is a terrible ref.  Games 3 and 4 into Montreal with Lee were a joke…on both sides.

    I would say maybe it’s time that the leagues GMs met this summer to figure this out…but I think the GMs know their teams and even though players bitch about non calls, the player prefer to play 5 on 5 hockey…we will see who refs game 7.  I have heard nada about any Kuching updates for games 7.  All anyone can do is speculate that it’s more than just bruised ribs…

    It took Kucherov out of the game. He played one shift. I would say taking out the leading points man in the NHL the last two years affects the game.

    Was it the cross check that took Kuch out? Or the hit by Barzel…it looked like kuch,s shoulder might have been banged up?

    Do they weed out refs for the finals? And only give those assignments to better refs?

    He went to hit Barzal after the check and had no force. I think he was hurt already.  If you go back to 20 second earlier,  he got mauled in the back.  I'm 99% sure it was the Mayfield cross check.  It was right in the ribs.
