So what you're saying is Bruins getting first pick next year?

Didn't the streak technically stay alive because he started this season with Buffalo?

That guys almost a bigger meme then Toronto.

Someone’s gonna get burned hard signing him to a long contract. But I don’t see anyone wanting to give him a 7 year deal either.

Jeeze Montreal played like a glistening turd tonight. All hope of them beating Vegas is pretty much lost. Fleury was incredible. It took the Knights a few minutes to get warmed up, but they outplayed Montreal at every position. Montreal struggled to get the puck out of their own zone. I am disappoint.

Yea so about Montreal winning the Cup.

....

This Vegas team must make hardcore Hockey fans rage as they have done nothing but win in the handful of years they have even been a thing, while other franchises havent even seen a conference final in their fans' entire lifetime.

And how much they were table to take advantage of teams with the first expansion draft rules. Be curious to see how Seattle ends up doing, as GM's have had more time to prepare for that upcoming expansion draft.

basically it's the Penguins fault

These fucking refs man how can you make such a blatantly wrong call.

Cooper gonna set the ref bus on fire

MONTREAL LETS GOOOOOO.

1-0

Now 2-0. I hope they can keep it up!

Montreal vs NYI for the cup is so gonna happen.

ohhh maan! if they dont win this game they are done.

If they do hold on though boys we got ourselves a real series going back to Canada.

edit: How important is home field advantage in Hockey? I havent been a fan long enough to understand this dynamic outside watching some Bruins playoff games.

Depend because there won't be more than 3500 peoples in the arena in Montréal. But usually in a 4 of 7 and you don't have ice advantage you want to win one of the 2 games. After that let see how Fleury will hold playing VS Montréal. Fleury must have a huge amount of pressure.

Jeff Petry's eyes are so effed!

The biggest thing about home ice is the home team gets to make the final change on face offs (save for the times when their team isn't allowed to make a change like on an icing). In a way, it's actually a measurable "home field advantage" that doesn't exist in other sports...assuming your coach is good and gets match ups he wants with it.

If Montreal wins tonight I believe they have a chance to beat Vegas. A very, very slim chance.

Montreal vs. New York would be awesome.
