Let’s put it this way: if the Habs had lost their last 6 games in a row (instead of 6 wins in a row), they would still be in the playoffs, 4 pts ahead of 9th place.

Caufield is behind Bure and Hull in terms of the number of goals to tie or go ahead. But he’s at a ridiculous 61% of his goals to tie or go ahead. Must be the absolute record, not even close!

Marc Denis said it best: « l’énergie positive contagieuse de Cole Caufield ». So important. For that alone, Cole Caufield should be our MVP. Scoring goals is fun, allows everyone to play more freely and in a positive atmosphere.

Doug Armstrong would be a tremendous addition to the Leafs but not as GM. His energy has gone down and you could see it, prior and during the Olympics.

Not to absolve Treliving but 1) wrong hire, wrong time 2) very little responsibility in Marner debacle which set them back yrs 3) happens when you can’t create environment conducive to players willing to commit long term. Hold team hostage and mistakes are made. Same w/ Oilers

@ruffer69 @kbieksa3 @CremeGlaceeBBBY Agreed

@MocJock @kbieksa3 @CremeGlaceeBBBY The fact that we are “arguing” about which of these warriors are tougher says everything about how absolutely NAILS they are.

Best tweet of your life Eric! Not making a better one ever. Might as well shut it down now 😂

@ruffer69 @kbieksa3 @CremeGlaceeBBBY Did he? No ;)

@MocJock @kbieksa3 @CremeGlaceeBBBY NHL player dies on the bench - Rich Peverly - revived in ambulance and asks to take his next shift. Bonus: NOT a playoff game. NHL wins 😉

Not sure if anybody caught that but Habs officially think Jakub Dobes is weird. Horn goes off, heads straight to exit, waits and greets teammates, gets tired of waiting and just headbutts his way through the queue. Bolduc wants no part of it lol and Evans just shaking his head

@lukefoxjukebox Claude Julien with the Devils 06-07. Two games left. 1st in division.

The Golden Knights are in playoff position with eight games to go. Has there ever been a playoff-bound team to fire its coach this late?

With Cassidy now being available, look for Pete Deboer and Bruce Cassidy to slot in behind the bench with the Oilers and Wings in 2026-27. Deboer has a connection to Detroit going back to the 80s and 90s, but became entangled in a feud between the Karmanos and Illitch family

Went to a game back in Oct VGK vs SJ (crazy game) and during breaks, struck me how standoff-ish Eichel was. Not sure if that’s bad chemistry with Marner (he blew him off a couple times) or just typical bad body language from Eichel. Either way, leadership was clearly an issue

The Anaheim Ducks have won 33 games in regulation or overtime, which is just as many as the New Jersey Devils. The Ducks sit in 1st in the Pacific, while the Devils are on the verge of being mathematically eliminated from the playoff race.

The Vegas Golden Knights have won 32 games and lost 42 (!) so far this year, and currently in a playoff spot, sitting 3rd in the Pacific. The Rangers have won 29 games and lost 44, and have already been eliminated from the playoff race. Insane.

Pavel Zacha trade was highway robbery from Don Sweeney.

Sharks and Blues have -39 and -40 goal differentials and are still on the cusp of a playoff spot! When was the last time this happened, back in the 80s or 90s?

Only two 20+ goal seasons for Mikael Granlund, last one in 2017-18, but he now has 7 goals in 4 games with a hat trick tonight.

Watching the Rocket and Luke Mittelstadt has NHL-level speed. Beautiful skater.

Personal opinion, Hutson has been our MVP. Hutson is the engine, Caufield the rocket fuel and Nick is the wheels and chassis. Slaf has been the glue that holds it all together, at various times this year. Between Cole and Nick, I pick Nick at his very best. But Cole is the star

Question: who’s been more valus le to the #Habs this season:

Habs fans cheering for Bruins or Sabres tonight?
