the only positive thing I can say for the devils is that they also got massacred in the first 2 games last series.

amazing canes lose 3 of their biggest players (pacioretty never really had but it still hurts because they'd certainly have allocated that cap to someone else in the offseason) and still thriving is pretty amazing

Coming into tonight playoff KK had 16 points in 50 games. But ok, 2 goals tonight. I actually never watch him play, just root against him as jilted habs fan. He could be a solid player beyond the points numbers, which is all I understand. Well ok, FO%, figured that out too. TOI...HIT. got that down.

Maurice explains why in his last presser

iirc, He started off on a good pace for a rookie... good for a young guy.

but Habs playoffs totals: 29 games, 9 goals, 12 total points. -1. Historic stats? Guy Lafleur, Rocket, and KK.

Career playoffs after last night: 51 games, 12 goals, 18 points, -7
Current playoff run: 8 games, 3 goals, 4 points, -2.

I said he might be an ok player, (most habs fans say he's a bust, so I wasn't even ragging!) but "playoff KK" seems a bit overblown.

Go Leafs go! Oh wait, no Saturday night Hockey for Leafs, what the what!.

Cheering a little more for Edmonton than Vegas but fine with either.

Well, just tuned it to watch 5 minutes of picking up gloves.

When I see a game like this I always think, if Vegas could win this in the third it would destroy the Oilers confidence forever.

Lottery in 1 day 18hrs...https://www.tankathon.com/nhl

I simulated idk for a long time to finally get the right #1 pick. But this time is for real...1 click...6th. Try a few more...5665657662257767...f it.

Since habs can't get 3 or 4...or worse than 7...basically results are either 1. rarely happy, but really happy, 2. usually mildly disappointed.

8.5% chance of picking first overall,
8.8% chance of picking second overall.
24.5% chance of picking fifth overall.
44.9% chance of picking sixth overall.
13.9% chance of picking seventh overall.

I could definitely get behind Oilers-Canes or Oilers-Panthers final (since Leafs look so unlikely). I think that's best case of the most likely left?

Man Drai is going to break the playoff goal record soon at this pace. 13 already, record is 19? What a freak.

Compared to your comments I took it very downbeat, sincerely. My comment was obv on other spectrum, dont think he got any hype anyway but your comments seemed strange to me, I´d be happy with with what he did for you guys in playoffs (I dont think he is a great player, but over-performed for habs in play-offs).

Hard to see Leafs not winning tonight, have them parlayed with Devils who are already in the clubhouse…but we will see…
