from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
- Since trailing the Maple Leafs 3-1 in the opening round, the Montreal Canadiens have won nine Stanley Cup playoff games, lost one. That is beyond remarkable and impressive. This doesn’t happen often, a team is stunningly hot: the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings started the playoffs 10-1 in 2012.
- In games the Habs have scored two goals or more, Conn Smythe contender Carey Price has a 9-0 record.
- Vegas is caught in a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation with Marc-Andre Fleury, whose rather careless gaffe behind the net, cost the Knights Game 3 in Montreal. They now have to go back to Fleury in goal for Game 4 but can’t be comfortable making that call … A hockey friend of mine says: If you have to decide who your starting goalie is, then you don’t have a starting goalie.
- If you can challenge offside goals and goaltender interference, why can’t you challenge a goal where there are clearly too many men on the ice?
- Dougie Hamilton is 28 years old, a near all-star on defence, and looking to play for his fourth team in nine years. Something’s not happening here.
