Are we in Canada paranoid about 2026 or should we not be worried?

GREAT team but why Cirelli? IIRC, he disappointed at the 4NC.

I'd dump Cirelli, bump Celebrini to the third line center position and put Jarvis on the 4th line - Jarvis is on fire and playing GREAT.

The Cirelli line provided some stability on the ice and were excellent in the neutral zone. Perfect line to roll out after a McDavid or MacKinnon line sprint.

They never really made any mistakes + a PK duo that has played together for years + Cooper as head coach. It’s hard to leave them off and they it just make sense. The line was missing some offensive juice and playmaking. I think Thomas would add that, as well being a guy that could take FO for that line.

Jarvis would be an excellent addition as a spark plug to the line, but I’d like to see what Johnston, Thomas or Celebrini would add as Jarvis already had some time with them at 4-Nations.

I would love if Robert Thomas shot the puck more, think you meant 60 assists

Really excited to see how the Capitals do this post-season and I’m not looking at Dylan Strome, Tom Wilson, Jakob Chychrun or Logan Thompson.

A Pierre-Luc Dubois that is motivated is a force to be reckoned with on the ice. Would love to see him flourish in these playoffs and would be an excellent addition if he proves his work ethic.

I have flipped back and forth on whether I want Montreal to make the playoffs...

Pro :

* It would be nice to have 5 Canadian teams in the playoffs.

Con :

* Montreal has such a wonderful group of fans , how could anyone root against them?
* It would help the dreaded Rogers.

 

[ORRFForever]

God help me but I HATE Montreal. I've try so hard to root for them.

If you take Suzuki off the ice, the team is pure garbage.

* Suzuki with this 30th goal and 59th assist.

* Scheifele with his 39th goal.

* Kaiden Guhle with his 5th and 6th goal.

* Matt Duchene with his 52nd assist - Canada would have won the 4NC if Duchene had been on the team.

* Josh Morrisey with his 48th assist.

* Cole Perfetti with his 32nd assist.
