@grantmccagg Suzuki has to be one of them. He played some of his most physical hockey that series. And was excellent as always in his shutdown role. Love to see it.

The only shot that could beat Dobes yesterday was a 90-MPH slapper tipped waist high three feet from him. On the HabsCast post-game panel last night he was unanimously selected as the Series MVP. That was a no brainer, but who were the Habs' "three stars" apart from him?

@Roumani88 @vanjelly82 Can you believe that trip was 18 years ago?!?!!!

@vanjelly82 @theejohnnyc Book le crystal

See ya in Buffalo #Habs

@SimonTSN690 I'm a little anxious. Might roll myself up a Melnick

I’m feeling good #DropThePuck

@nickysmokess Dude, he was dead last on the backside of the stretch! Fucking incredible. Pissed I didn't bet the two jockey brothers for an exacta box.

That horse was dead last out the gate holy shit

@djhill1900 @HabsOnReddit I think him being unnoticeable is a good thing. Xhekaj's puck handling is a liability

@HabsOnReddit Gotta be Struble. Both Xhekaj and him are playing good but Struble has been a little less noticeable.

Who should be out of the Habs lineup if Noah Dobson is in tomorrow for game 7? 🤔

@EricEngels A nice ride down Alligator Alley

Driving from Fort Lauderdale to Tampa takes 3:45…in case the Canadiens are bussing it from there. Not sure what their plans are. Sarasota only an hour from Tampa.

@karlmoore7777 @netflixsports 100% was

@netflixsports Its funny that the hand shake story wasn't in brets book...

The Hitman vs. The Hulkster Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan revisit the infamous WrestleMania IX finish 😮 📺 Hulk Hogan: Real American is now playing.

@HFTVSports Suzuki has been solid all series and played some of his most physical hockey. Caufield had his best game last night since game 1. That's the beauty of a game 7, nothing else matters.

Everyone’s getting on 13/14’s case, probably validly to a certain degree, I would just say that those two are bound to have a great Game 7. They know they have to. And they will.

What a kill!!! #Habs

@NHL_AaronWard @NHL Alumni celebrity hockey tournament in Nova Scotia kind?

This game is drunk! Party kind of inebriation that’s fun.. not the ‘bad decisions’ kind. @NHL

@PFTCommenter Don't buy fake tickets on gametime like I did 2 weeks ago.

Never been to a phish show. Pls send recomendations for a first timer (not a drug guy)

@elio82 BANG!! If the 12 hung on I would've had the trifecta too.

Race 6 6 win

@ESPNCleveland @egoldie80 5-12

A look at what’s coming for Browns fans in 2029 👀👀👀👀

This is incredible! Lol

@ivandemigoal To be fair Anderson did his part to try and open up things for Caufield but he just looks scared out there. Idk what it is

I can’t believe it’s the 5th year we’re trying Anderson with Nick and Cole lmao Granted MSL needed to try something but man 😅😭

@MitchyGallo Danault and Evans were dominant in the faceoff circle!

Here are my three takeaways from tonight’s 3-2 Montreal Canadiens win in Game 5 over the Tampa Bay Lightning, brought to you by Snap Bar Sportif in Rigaud. 1- Gallagher gets Habs going Sometimes the story writes itself, and the most predictable thing about tonight’s game was that Brendan Gallagher was going to score. Time and time again, Martin St. Louis has pushed the right buttons, and inserting Montreal’s most experienced playoff player into the lineup for the first time since the final game of the season paid off immediately. On his first shift, on his first shot, Gallagher cleaned up the garbage in front of the net something he’s made a career out of. The longtime Canadien may be on the back nine of his career, but that doesn’t mean he can’t still be valuable to a young team. He may not have the same pace or speed he once did, but you know exactly what you’re going to get. He’s tenacious, difficult to play against, and gives absolutely everything he has. It’s hard not to feel good seeing him rewarded with a big goal. 2- Matheson misplays Mike Matheson had a shift similar to the one Kirby Dach had in overtime in Game 3, where multiple mistakes led to a goal against. The final error was an attempted shot that simply can’t miss the net something every player is taught at a young age. The chances of beating Andrei Vasilevskiy clean from that spot were already slim, and missing the net turns it into an automatic breakout the other way. Not only that, but the Canadiens had the lead and were in control, with Tampa’s top players on the ice. That’s a moment where the cliché applies, get pucks deep and manage the situation. Instead, Jake Guentzel, who leads the series in points, beats Jakub Dobes five-hole and gives the Lightning life heading into the third period yet again. Matheson has been logging heavy minutes, and it’s starting to show. He’s incredibly valuable to this blue line, but no one will benefit more from the return of Noah Dobson than him. 3- Lane Hutson has been Montreal’s best player Tampa Bay’s top players have delivered. Montreal’s have been quieter, with the exception of Lane Hutson, who has clearly been their best player through five games. He’s been excellent defensively, an area of his game that often gets overlooked, and it’s fair to say Tampa’s top players don’t find him easy to play against. But his biggest impact comes offensively, especially in key moments. In Game 3, it was the overtime winner with a booming slap shot. Tonight, it was a perfectly executed stretch pass, using his eyes as deception to spring Alexandre Texier in full flight, who slips it past Vasilevskiy for the winner. Hutson’s size will always be a talking point, and until he proves it over a long playoff run, people will question whether he can hold up. But so far, he’s answered every challenge. There’s no reason to think that will stop now. He’s now on a five-game point streak, and what’s most impressive is that he’s doing in the playoffs exactly what he did in the regular season, in games that are much harder to play. @tsn690
