Need the Wild and Leafs to win their series and I will have 0 eliminations in my 14 player hockey pool for the 1st round

I wonder if they sit Foligno tonight, even if he is good to go.

Better safe than sorry.

Yes, I'm counting those chickens...

Sit him. He’s damaged goods. Fire Dubas

Canadiens announce Erik Gustafsson will speak to the media today. Which would suggest he’s playing tonight. In an elimination game.

Apparently the Montreal fans are not supportive of this roster move.

Habs Twitter is getting pretty toxic, and it's pumping up my cranky meter. They lose tomorrow night I will be taking a much-deserved hiatus from here and working full bore on the draft guide. Pretty much unbearable when they lose a playoff series.

About the only move that would make any sense is if he replaced Kulak or maybe Merrill, but . . . I don't know. All I can honestly say for the Habs' D is that Edmundson has been good through the first 4 games.

Great to see JT on the ice!

pretty sure it was "Win this so I can come back" inspirational skate

I think they should just accept their team isnt very good and no lineup will magically make them good

Until another defenceman wins the Art Ross trophy, Bobby Orr is the best defenceman of all time.

FFS, this is not open to discussion.

I laugh at your GIF. I laugh in its face. Bring it back when the Leafs trade for Jake Gardner. It has no power now.

Keefe announced that foligno is sitting tonight. Said he progressing well but still day to day.

It all depends in the context by which "overrated" is being used though, doesn't it? I don't think he belongs in the conversation as the "best ever".

Having said that, I can give you a dissertation backed with era-adjusted statistics and relative team strength to back up my "(frank)ing foolish" take if you like.

Not sure why my opinion has rankled you so hard that you went out of your way - and out of context - to basically say "(frank) you for your opinion", but okay.
- mjones242

Because I couldn't reply to your take on Lidstrom when you made it. I was banned for telling KKKap he's a racist piece of $hit. KKKap was defending Shady1962 for making a racist statement towards Anthony Duclair who is a black man. He said his attack on Kucherov was "Typical of his kind."

Unlike most people on HB I don't use alts.

How are you not blocked by him yet like everyone else

Siegel had posted that the lines project to:

Hyman - Matthews - Marner
Galchenyuk - Kerfoot - Nylander
Mikheyev - Engvall - Simmonds
Thornton - Brooks - Spezza

Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Holl
Sandin - Bogosian

For when Scabeh comes in he needs to know Kulak played for the Vancouver Giants.

I got the impression listening to Chris Johnson that this is actually the very early work of starting to come back. There’s some thought the knee wasn’t hurt as badly as originally thought. They also want to work him a bit and see how the noggin responds every couple of days.

Obviously, still a matter of weeks but this was more work than show.

So same lines as Tuesday with Sandin playing instead of dermott?

I like it.

Oh, I see. So a fanboy who devotes themselves to watching one team is an objective and reliable source?

Confirmation bias can be fun.

Yes. I'm the only one who thinks Lidstrom is one of the best defensemen of all time. Just me.

Apparently, the Oiler goalie is named 39 year old Mike Smith

Rouse and Macoun! Both won Cups with Detroit. And Larry Murphy of course. 👍

8-0 leafs

Jake Allen stands tall and only allows 2 goals

Good play by Keefe to give Cornrow Dermott some minutes. Better play by Keefe to go back to the more dynamic Sandin for Game 5.
- mjones242

I gave Keefe a call, told him it’s tough for me to get points from Sandin when he’s in the presser.
