The Canadiens have been able to outscore their problems all season.
They may not have scored enough Thursday night, but we know they’ll score plenty moving forward.
More importantly, they’ve played the right way this week. It’s how they must play to win this tight race👇🏻

The Canadiens fell to the Red Wings on Thursday due to plenty of bad bounces. @EricEngels highlights how they need to improve their play in the final stretch of the regular season. sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/ca…

I think the kid deserves a ton of credit for sticking to the process when the pressure really ratcheted up on him. But boy, did he have help from Martin St. Louis, and especially Adam Nicholas. The investment the Canadiens made in player development is paying off HUGE.

Slafkovsky is on pace for 30 goals and 38 assists in his fourth NHL season. Felt when he was drafted that he’d turn into a consistent 35-35, two-way power forward. He’s turns 22 at the end of this month and appears poised to top that projection well before he hits his prime.

The participation of Russia in the 2028 World Cup was among the topics NHL leadership discussed after the GMs meetings in Florida. @EricEngels has the story. sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/nh…

Just one more thing on World Cup participation. Sent an email to NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly asking when the league needs this firmed up by.
His response: "Probably some time prior to the start of 2027/28 season, but nothing set in stone at this point."

Spoke with Daly after. He said that without Russia's war with Ukraine ending, Russia likely won't be able to participate in the 2028 World Cup. "I don’t think we’re out of sync with where the Finns and Swedes and Czechs are with respect to Russian participation. It’ll be available if certain things happen. And if certain things don’t happen, they're likely not to participate.”
English
Gary Bettman and Bill Daly say they haven’t received any formal declarations of non-participation from any prospective World Cup nations should Russia be permitted to participate.
Though Daly said, “We know how they feel.”
