@caprice_stp @TheHockeyNews The oilers should consider trading L Draist for 3-4 really good pieces. Get a goalie, 1-2 solid Ds and a big scoring winger. Or trade RNH for a solid shut down D and a goalie

If Edmonton stumbles through another season like this one, McDavid doesn't have to wait for his contract to expire.
He can demand out, and the Oilers, holding the most coveted asset in the league, would have little authority to say no.

@FermStasia Are u giving no value to the work Ken Hughes is doing? He did a great job

the key to winning in the nhl is apparently retooling by never even being good and then getting lottery (and trade) luck and still lucking into a franchise goaltender at pick 136.

Montreal: 2021 • lost in cup finals 2022 • picked 1st overall 2023 • picked 5th overall 2024 • picked 5th overall 2025 • made playoffs 2026 • won a playoff round The perfect re-tool.

@CakeMcJabe Canada’s team is the team that won Canada more than half of its cups, including the last one. Put some respect on our name
English
@ScotianCanadien Don’t bother, Habs fans are so stubborn. NS, CC, Ghule, Dobes, Struble, Kap, Arber, Andy and Gally are all MB players. He took us to the cup finals and handed the team to KH with more draft picks than they would have and for some reason, he still gets hate
English
@thegoldenmuzzy Lol, Canada’s team is the only team left that won Canada more than half of it’s cups, including the last one
English
@LeafSingh Cheer up, you still have the Cardiac kids as Canada team left to cheer for. Bring in the singing French kids

NHL playoffs are going to be boring without all the NHL talent.
McDavid out
Kucherov out
Matthews out
Draisaitl out
Nylander out
Maccelli out

@mndamico @xwleblancx Andy needs to play on the NS line. Not only will that allow Slaf to play with Demidov, it’ll also get Andy to see a lot more Hagel, and force Cooper to bring back Sabourin
English
I hate to be that guy but I man my expectations were way higher for guys like Caufield and Demidov.
Most of the top 6 is invisible but I thought those 2 guys were gonna carry the mail.
Both look scared and are non factors.
English
@nickhr88 @the_habitant I agree, 17 is a must there. It would: 1- Slaf help Dem, 2- force Tampa to adjust, 3- force Hagel to play Andy, 4- force Tampa to play Sabourin against NS and CC.
English
@the_habitant Nah keep Bolduc - dach - texier together. good 3rd line. The only line change that would make sense would be to run
Caufield - Suzy - Andy
Slaf - Newy - Demi
Bolduc - Dach - Tex
Danault - Evans - Danault
but then 2nd and 3rd lines just wont win any faceoffs
English
Don’t know why we don’t try Dach at 2C with Demidov atp
When he’s at his best (like yesterday), it’s not even close.
And I think he has a lot more to show
English
@boutch67 @AbsCoverage No way he leaves EDM with nothing, he’ll be traded before he’s a UFA. He might get traded this year if they out 1st round
English
@Imreallymad @AbsCoverage Not if he reaches market as a ufa. How long does he have left on his recent contract?
English
He’s thinking about
Verhaeghe-Barkov-Reinhart
Tkachuk-McDavid-Marchand
Tommy@tommykippes2
bro is mcdavid okay

@LeafSingh Like them or hate them, they’re fun to watch. Enjoy it while u don’t have to cheer for 1 team

Never will you hear this again but Go Habs

Bolts fans got the "USA" chant going 😭🇺🇸

@_JordanDecker Idk, as much as I love the 1st line, secondary scoring is gonna be key this series. CC-NS-Dach (worked well in the past), Demidov-Newhook-Slaf, 76-71-17, Text-PD, 81
English
Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Texier-Newhook-Demidov
Bolduc-Evans-Anderson
Veleno-Danault-Gallagher
Guhle-Matheson
Struble- Hutson
Xhekaj-Reinbacher
Randy Timmins@The_Creasy
What is YOUR Game 1 lineup? Here's mine: Slafkovsky-Suzuki-Caufield Newhook-Kapanen-Demidov Anderson-Danault-Gallagher Bolduc-Evans-Texier/Veleno/Dach Matheson-Reinbacher Hutson-Struble Xhekaj-Guhle
@PierreVLeBrun 5 out of the best 10 teams in the NHL this year are from the Atlantic. The other 3 are Det (which lead the division at one point), FL (back to back Champs), and TO (div leaders last yr). Next yr is gonn be insane!
English
A year ago, the No. 8 playoff spot in the East was 91 points (Montreal). This year, four teams miss the playoffs with 91 or more points (Washington, Detroit, Columbus, Islanders). Tougher slate in the East this year to be sure.
English
@LeafSingh Weren’t you the one preaching that if your team is out of the playoffs by April, you shouldn’t post about them?
English
3-0 lead in a must lose game. We have them right where we want them
English
@joe_sewage @thesickpodcasts @TonyMarinaro And Ghule, a top 4D, and Dobes a 1B-1A potential, and a solid potential 3C in Kap, and a decent top 6 in Struble. Yet, there’s still Habs fans who hate on Bergevin
English
@thesickpodcasts @TonyMarinaro Thanks. To Marc Bergeron.
I don’t think we realize how insane it is that when we started this rebuild, a 100-pt center and 50-goal winger were already on the roster.

ONE WORD: Use one word to describe Nick Suzuki reaching 100 points this season.
UN MOT : Utilisez un mot pour décrire Nick Suzuki atteignant 100 points cette saison.

@MikeKellyNHL @BizNasty2point0 Ottawa has a great team. They have a top notch top 6, lead by an excellent 1C (needs to mature a bit) and a superstar PF in Brady. The fact that missing the playoffs was in doubt is a HUGE miscalculation from management. Look at MTL, they had the Fowler card as a last resort
English
@Imreallymad @BizNasty2point0 Some flaws are fatal. Others aren’t. Determining which is which is the difference between right or wrong. That’s why believing Calgary would just score more would have been a bad bet. If you had put $ on Ottawa to make playoffs back then, you’d have done well.
