The only teams better than Montreal the last two months have been the league's top teams.

Since early-mid November, the Habs have a better record than Detroit, Columbus, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, basically all the teams we're battling with for a WC spot.

I don't expect us to keep playing at a such a high level, but the other teams surrounding us are just as likely to sink. It'll be a wild finish and I can't believe we're seriously checking the standings for a playoff spot!
And all of those teams have garbage goaltenders (Ottawa while their starter is out)
 
Only thing I'd debate is trading Evans. It's true, we might find someone to fill his role for less money, but the concern is we lose more in overall value than the marginal gain we'd add in cap space. I really like what Evans brings, even when he's not on a scoring streak.

Obviously, it all depends on how much money he expects. If his agent expects $4-5M + term, okay, cut bait and move on. But if Hughes and Evans can agree on a contract that's in line with whoever else we'd trade for to fill his spot, I'd rather keep Evans.

I don't know how Evans can get less than 4M$ tbh. Armia was at 3.5M in a contract from years ago, and Dvorak was at 4.5M.
 
Yeah. Cant wait for the dark mode to return.

Bruins-TB tonight . Any regulation result is good for us.

Bos leads 1-0
 
Tampa has to win
2-0 Bruins.
I'm ok with any result as long as it's in regulation. We have games in hands on the Bruins anyway and getting closer to the overrated Lightning wouldn't be bad (5 pts away with same number of games)
