Our GOAT, doubling up on the 5th best goalie in the league over the last 10 games. Was it really as simple as just changing out the goalie coach?

And playing him more. He was really good at the start of the year, but we kept going back to Monty, and dobes lost his rhythm.

Also great to have a goalie playing so well, but can't be sustainable if we're giving up so many expected goal opportunities.

No worries, we'll just keep shooting at 13.2%.

No team since '96 has finished a season above 13% so let's see if it holds!

didn't realize how torts is beyond orange, he's straight up red. have never understood that whole sit out in the sun until you're legit cooked medium rare thing

Solidarity with his President-King

Habs play-by-play guy is nails on a chalkboard. I really like Mike Johnson on color but not sure I can dela with pbp guy accent.

I don't mind him, and ya Mike Johnson is getting really good. I like that he's always reflecting back to stuff that happened in recent games. He's definitely in the know.

I had a good guess the Habs would win this one. Took them -1.5.

That was probably +2xx

Nice one

You don't watch games on RDS?

Sometimes I do but I don't fully understand, so I prefer English. But RDS is nostalgic.

Understood. I don't understand 100% either, but it's one of my few ways to practice French these days so I stick to RDS/TVA.

How hard can it be to understand "sacrament d'osti de tabarnak" from the announcers after the Habs get scored on?

Damn the Jets are making a run at that wildcard spot

They have the hardest schedule remaining.
Kings has easiest.

Will be a tough road. But they are warriors.

WE all know its gonna happen Kings/Oilers first round

Leaf's officially eliminated and Canucks secure last. Not sure I have much confidence in the Pelley

Big schedule if games with lots of playoff implications. Love this time of the year

Sabres clinch playoff spot. Whoo!!!!

Habs ahead of Sabres in standings, but not clinched.
Sabres behind, but are clinched.

Good stuff

ok once again my buddy 702guy asked me to pass this message along to you hockey dudes:

LOL oilers. and a great day overall for VGK making the playoffs with the other results today. VGK can still win the Western Division despite being complete a** for most of the season.

all Tortella has done since getting the VGK HC job is to stand behind the bench and smile. His previous notorious Adolph Hitler coaching style has not materialized at all in his first 3 games behind the VGK bench. What Tortella has done is give confidence to Conner Hart. Hart looked a bit shaky vs. Calgary but looked dominant tonight. Tortella and Hart have a positive history together and that showed itself tonight.

what Bruce Cassidy knew (but wasn't allowed to play this lineup cuz management) and what Tortella is riding on is that VGK's top line "skill players" still cannot score a goal to save their lives. So, again, the D Men and 3rd/4th liners come up big. Which happened under Cassidy as well when he could play those lineups...

Carter Hart back in the show delivering. He was off my radar

Hart was very good against the Oilers and alive in the Western Division

Islanders pull a Vegas and fire Patrick

shocker. guess they had drama with him and deboer was available now.

Lane F'n Hutson beats 4 guys and sets up Suzy for a tap in to tie it with 30 seconds left

This team is so fun to watch, and oh yah, they're setting another record for youngest ever playoff team.

Dach back just in time for the playoffs, I still think he can play an important role if he can stay healthy (big IF).



Absurd race in the Atlantic and TB at MTL in a couple days.
