Around the NHL 2024 25

As I recall, the woman at the core of the case reported that there were 8 players present during her ordeal; 5 have been charged. Might these three witnesses (Batherson, Thomas, Makar) be the other 3 players allegedly at the scene?
Hmmm, I thought it was stated that Makar wasn’t even at that event when the assault took place. Could be misinformed information or not.

Either way, the next couple months of the trial should be interesting.
 
I haven't seen Laine on the ice in the 3rd period 8 mins into it. Looks like he's benched with the Habs shortening the bench chasing a goal.

Habs coach to Laine at the start of the 3rd period...

Yep didn't see a shift in the 3rd from what I could tell. Not even deployed at the end on a 6 on 5 with the EN. Though I can't blame the Habs, he is rocking a 12% xGoals on the series at 5v5 and he has been playing 4th line minutes so it's not as if he is facing the tough matchups either.

Makar did not attend the event. He is not a witness. Robert Thomas may be called as a witness. It’s been reported that the witnesses lawyers hope they attend virtually.
 
I would have put him on the ice at the 6 on 5, not sure about the 5 v 5 though. Although he would have been cold coming in on the 6v5.
He was snapping off a few good passes. Curious guy to bench, when Demidov was rather useless out there.

Montreal is going to have to ride some home ice energy to stay alive in this series. Don't think they can match the physicality though.
 
Duchene FULL controller disconnect well before the goal went in. Can’t imagine seeing that kind of effort on the Jets recently
It was a decent pick up high, but as a defender you have to read and react to that... you can't just stand there and gesture to the refs for an interference call

I thought it was clearly interference on the 4 on 4 pick play that led directly to a goal. Never the less Dutch has to cover up and not just wait for the call. He wasn’t even the guy getting picked?

Definitely was a nasty pick up high. Duchene was the guy who _wasn’t_ picked and should have switched to Nuke. Fine to get beat by the pick, but he turned, saw Nuke uncovered and just dropped his hands to his side and gave big “whaddaya gonna do” vibes. Need to at least TRY to get back and limit time.

At least that’s what I saw :)
