I was slightly ready to kind of give up on Dach for the top line, but theyβre having a great game.
Expected goals after 40
Danault line 2.6 per cent
Suzuki line 75 per cent
Evans line 77 percent
Kapanen line 23 percent
The Expected Goals is 2.6 per cent for the Danault line. Yikes.

Sabres winning 5-1 in Tampa. Wow. They are most definitely for real.
Stunning midseason turnaround.
Good for Bolduc. He's been quietly strong in this one. Nice pass to Matheson for the tally.
Don't ignore Newhook's ability to win the zone with his speed.
He and Suzuki get that PP assignment, and Newhook is actually better at it.
Newhook 2 points in 2 games since return.
The Sens are outshooting the Leafs 26-4. It's 3-2.
The Sens goaltending is so epically bad this season. They're a very good team that has the worst goaltending in the NHL.
Kapanen line really struggling since return from break. They're getting caved in for second straight game.

Why is an excellent scorer like Nick Suzuki terrible on breakaways?

On pace for 48.64 β¦ if he doesnβt score again tonight

Canβt have a rebound on a 55 foot shot. Just canβt.
Stop showing Hutson. You canβt have a 55 footer stay in the scoring area.
That is the type of poor goaltending people donβt talk about.
SHUDDUP!!!! JFC

That kid is good. Caufield with 34. Thatβs 4th in the NHL.
Only 30 seconds in.
1-0
My entire life all I heard about was Americaβs powerful checks and balances.
Umm.
No Congress voted. No NATO agreed. No United Nations lobbied.
Just whimsical killing.
MSL didnβt feel like they played enough with the puck down the stretch and feels thatβs a mindset that heβs trying to install in his group.

A bit of a disjointed one for the Montreal Canadiens in an overtime loss to the New York Islanders.
The Call Of The Wilde is brought to you thanks to Global Montreal.

When Zachary Bolduc is a healthy scratch, thatβs a damn deep hockey team.
Tough lineup call for the head coach with Newhook returning.
Canadiens lines at practice:
Caufield-Suzuki-Dach
SlafkovskΓ½-Kapanen-Demidov
Gallagher-Danault-Anderson
Texier-Evans-Newhook
Bolduc-Veleno-Laine
Hutson-Dobson
Matheson-Guhle
Xhekaj-Carrier
Struble
MSL confirms Alex Newhook will play tomorrow.

These people are so pathetic. Itβs so sad and embarrassing to human intelligence
They refuse to acknowledge that this is an enormously flawed human being.
Bill, I donβt know.
On the one hand, I do believe 3-4 overtime period games each playoff 10 times is too much. The hockey becomes very dull. Itβs actually not exciting at 2 am. Bad for the game.
But the 3 on 3 is not how the game was built. Personally, I donβt have issue with change but many do.
I don't even want to or are trying to argue for Suzuki. It's about that 150 feet of gliding by an exhausted player or 150 feet of going all out by a rested player is the difference between Jack Hughes having a man on him and Hughes not having a man on him to take that shot.
Any rested guy would do.
And I don't want to concede this. They got goalied. But they also gave up the winning goal which had zero to do with getting goalied.
And on that goal..
It's the gold medal, and the two guys are completely gassed. They got nothing in them left.
They know it's important, and they got nothing left.
