🏒🥅 🇨🇦 Was it a slash? Or are these batons de hockey just too fragile?
“How the Habs lost:
After Nick Suzuki tied up the game with 1:38 left in the third period, his linemate Cole Caufield took a slashing penalty just 41 seconds later when he shattered Quinn Hughes’s stick while playing for the puck. Kaprizov ended it at 4-on-3 in the extra frame.”

🏒🥅🇨🇦 Wilde called it: “Against the second ranked team in the league, and one of the top Corsi teams as well, Montreal was their equal.
Nick Suzuki got the assignment most of the time to face the Wild’s top line of Joel Eriksson-Ek [, Kaprizov,] and Matt Boldy. When Suzuki, along with Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield, can handle the pressure of top talent, the depth of the rest of the line-up can shine.
The Suzuki line finished the night with an Expected Goal share of 88 per cent. The Eriksson-Ek line had a 22 per cent share.”
This is crazy good news for Habs fans. The Eriksson-Ek line is the top line in the league. Better, on a +/- basis (5v5), than even the McDrai “permanent powerplay.” I expect to see this matchup in the 2027 SCF.
ps. I hope we don’t see the kind of broken stick calls that robbed us of what could have been an all-time 3v3 OT.

🏒🥅 🇨🇦 The Habs v Wild game was, as expected, à hard battle. Habs lose via PP in OT, but played a great game against à great opponent. Carey Price tribute was beautiful way to start a game that featured two of the game’s best young goalies. Fun to watch Quinn Hughes v Lane Hutson, too.
Also felt good to tune into the last period of Jets v Devils (sans Helly) and see the home team so dominant. Tough luck for young Björk, denied his first goal by an empty net post.

🏒🥅 🇨🇦Looking forward to Habs v Wild this evening. It will be a test for the Habs. It may also be a 2027 SCF preview.
By my eye, Wild are the best in the West (Oilers have more points, at the moment, but competition has been weak and they’re only five men deep). They boast a .737 WIN% and are 6-4 in their last 10 games.
Habs *may* be the best in the East (Bruins… we shall see). They’re at .735 WIN%, are 8-2 in their last 10, and getting better.
As the CORSI comparison for most recent 10 game segment shows, Habs and Wild have a similar profile.
Will it come down to a young goalie showdown, Fowler v Wallstedt? Fitting, on Carey Price night.
