They have probably the second best goalie in the division in Markstrom yet they elected to use Rittich in back to back nights, is Markstrom hurt or something because that move just doesn't make sense.

The Islanders stole our victory song?
He’s day to day apparently. They’ve ridden him a lot this season so I suppose it’s not much of a surprise.

Yea, hes out with an upper body thing but hopeful for Saturday against the Sens.

A Leafs vs Habs playoff series sounds much more entertaining to me than a Leafs vs Flames series anyway.

That makes sense, I though the reason why Markstrom didn't play last night was because of how well Rittich played against the Leafs on Monday.
Team that got blown 7-2 is #1 on NHL's "Power Rankings" and the team that has been 1st since basically the season started remained at 4th.

Report: Agent steps in after Buffalo Sabres' Jeff Skinner healthy scratch for third straight game - TSN.ca
Skinner a healthy scratch for the third game in a row, his agent, Meehan ends up discussing the situation with Sabres GM Adams. At eight years, $9 million, with one assist in 14 games, this might just have become the worst contract and situation in the league.

56 years and counting. #FireTheShanaClan!
We gave not played the Habs in the playoffs since 1979 or beaten them since 1967. This streak needs to end.

One thing I notice right off watching Wpg/Mt, they're throwing passes all across the ice and the puck sticks flat. I don't think you can overstate what a complete fustercluck the ice in TO is. Does anyone in the media even mention this?
It's been that way for about 3 years now. Media will likely realize it by the time he's bought out, that he's riding the glory of one great and ~2 good seasons for the past 6-7 years.
Also, Shea Weber is basically Dion Phaneuf who the media decided to heap praise on. Man Mountain is basically a guy that can't skate anymore.
It's going to look really bad soon for the Habs. Anderson is the best of their worst contracts.
Price is a bad deal, Shea is terrible, Gallagher is a Hyman type player making 6M+, Anderson isn't even .5 PPG making 5.5M.

Careful that's the best team in Canada built by the gm of the year that you're talking about here!

Firing Julien because Price couldn't stop a beachball is going to backfire. This isn't a great team, but he did so well with what he had
On the flip side, Jets are a very good team. Dubois is a legit top line center along with Schiefele

Jets replaced Laine with an equal offensive player that isn't a defensive liability. Great move.

BTW it's absolute BS that they didn't pan to Bergevin for a close up after every goal.
They would have done it mercilessly to Dubas in a similar situation.

Habs went about this the wrong way. Anderson and Toffoli are adds you make to a core that’s already established. They don’t have that yet. They had promising pieces in Suzuki, Kotkaniemi, and Romanov, but they aren’t there yet. Price and Weber are both too old and can’t be key pieces on a Cup contender anymore.
The timing for them is all wrong. Price isn’t good and hasn’t been for a couple of years now, their centre core is weak, especially compared to other teams in this division, and their defence is overrated, it lacks mobility and puck movement ability.

Only 1 game but Habs didn't look bad at 5 on 5. Here is the problem though. They were a great 5 on 5 team under Julien, and what plagued them under Julien plagued them here. Their special teams got dominated and Price being awful
