Two different territories of impact imo, and not in Matthews’ favor
Before tonight's game, the /MapleLeafs honored Auston Matthews for becoming the franchise's all-time goals leader. 🍁
The man whose record he broke, Mats Sundin, was in the house to congratulate him!

@ihavethatonvinyl.com markstrom had 2 expected goals against and gave up 9. Sorokin had 4 expected goals against and gave up 0.
Did an annoying query.
This game had *by far* the biggest difference in GSAx between two goalies who each played the full game. Markstrom also now holds the title of worst single game GSAx for any goalie in a full game (since '07, ~38k games where no starter was pulled).
What the hell.

Got to hand it to Czechia. Talented, gritty, and a ton of heart. When you add Russia back in there are a number of solid hockey countries these days.

That was terrible thing to do to that Swedish kid who can’t score on a breakaway.

I gave them 15% chance of winning on the road on no rest against a team of this caliber that was coming off a loss. This team is just unbelievable.

Points in four of five on this road trip … would you have guessed the one without it was STL not DAL, FLA, TB, CAR?

In the 1970s they used to routinely blow the whistle when players pinned puck like on that long sequence.

We faced TB and FL in similar situations in the third after back to back and skated all around them. Gonna be a rough 7 mins

I’m not sure who is out number 1 and who is out number 3 but I do feel best to have Montembeault with a young guy vs two rookies. He’s playing well again from the portion of game I’ve been able to see.

Habs power play sometimes seems like that youth hockey coach mandate that everybody touch the puck before they shoot

Either Habs wake up or they’re losing two this weekend
Habs tomorrow face a rested Dallas team at home tomorrow, 22 hours after the start of today’s game, with Stars coming off a loss to the worst team in the league. This is as bad as scheduling gets. And Habs are injured. If Stars odds are more than -200 I might have to bet on them.

We went to war for the Social Media Content, we did it For The Gram, we destroyed shit and quite possibly killed people For The Likes and Reposts.
Whether we like it or not this is the new face of resource wars where the resource is the leader's dopamine levels.
