I had a chance to go to Newfoundland for the first time finally. I have to say. I can see why people romanticize it so much. What a special, unique place.

The Habs bench reaction to Alex Newhook’s game 7 OT winner

How do the Canadiens win over Carolina? It's very simple. Frederik Andersen. 36 years old. Trademark? Extremely inconsistent. Gets on heaters. Falls completely apart when the heater ends. Regular season: .874 Playoffs: .950 If the heater ends, the Canadiens win.

FIRST LOOK. The Montreal Canadiens have advanced to the conference finals with an overtime thriller in game 7. All the highs and lows including the most intelligent play I have ever seen. The Call Of The Wilde is written for Global Montreal. globalnews.ca/news/1185465...

Thank you for your kind words, Everyone. It means the world to me.

I've noticed for a long time when you get slaughtered in a game, it's best to play that next game as soon as possible. The hunger is high on the losing side, and the winner still is basking in the glow. The recovery of the Habs tonight surprised me. The head coach found answers.

The sixth ranked Canadiens have beaten the fifth ranked Lightning and the fourth ranked Sabres, and now they get to take on the second ranked Hurricanes. On the other side, the 13th ranked VGK have beaten 15th ranked Utah, and 18th ranked Anaheim. Oh NHL.... lolololololololol.

Couldn't agree less. Ref wouldn't call it because Buffalo was behind. He saw it and said no. They didn't want to be seen as influencing they game so they influenced the game.

The refs say they want to stay out of it, and by staying out of it, they put themselves right at the very heart of it. The only theory that is not alive and well in the NHL is a standard set that a penalty is a penalty.

Dobes took a shoulder to the chin. Allow me, for those who are debating it, to remind you that Bolduc got 4 minutes for actually not touching Lyon at all early this series. So for anyone who doesn't think there is game management... you're not paying attention

And on the ensuing face-off, a face-off that should have been in Buffalo's zone on a power play, the Sabres tie it. Dach missed his assignment on the goal. Dahlin for 2-2.

Game management. Destroy the goalie. Won't be called.

These are the tests that every player needs to become great. This third period will be the challenge of their lives. Here we go. 20 minutes

Hutson just shy of 20 minutes already. Suzuki just shy of 16 already. after 2

So anxiety is making you look at it a bit differently than it actually is after 2 periods. Yes, Sabres have the territorial play, but they've allowed breakaways to Texier/Anderson trying to win that territory. High danger chances are 7-4 Habs. Expected goals MTL 2.53 Buff 2.64. 3rd decides it.

Now that BlueSky is back, allow met to say it is insane how intelligent Hutson is. I have never seen a player go into his own net to push the back of a goalie's leg to help him hold his post. Remarkble. Uniquely Hutson

I was trying to get some info at the evil site. I swear you cannot tell what is real there at all anymore. Everyone who wanted to buy a blue checkmark bought a checkmark. The people who deserve a checkmark don't have a checkmark and you can't find their stuff. What a mess. Useless.

Guess what the percentage of advantage it is for the home team so far in the playoffs.

I love Canada. I love how the premise of Canada is everyone gets to live their truth. This is what the word ‘freedom’ really means.

I know it’s disappointing to read after a loss, but there’s some good overall analysis in here not really game specific if the pain of it is dying down. *I never feel like reading when my Phillies lose, so I totally get it lol

That did not go well. The Canadiens were handled as there will be a game seven. The Call Of The Wilde is written for Global Montreal. globalnews.ca/news/1185246...

Can’t seem to get a spot tonight. Ha Noah Dobson is there somewhere

First power play unit in a 7-3 game with 2 minutes left

That was a brutal call. Game management goes both ways.

Expected Goals at the halfway mark. Buffalo 4.55 Montreal 1.59

Phil Danault vs Tage Thompson

How the Sabres look in warmups. Benson-Norris-Thompson Doan-McLeod-Tuch Zucker-Helenius-Quinn Greenway-Krebs-Malenstyn Dahlin-Sameulsson Byram-Power Metsa-Timmins Alex Lyon in net. Stanley didn't take rushes.

The Canadiens are one win away from the final-four. The Wilde Cards is what elements of their game are championship material and what do they lack. The answers will surprise you. The Call Of The Wilde is written for Global Montreal. globalnews.ca/news/1185012...

This is one of those ones where you go to check the follower number of the account to make sure this is real. This is real.

Todd: Martin St. Louis presses all the right buttons as Canadiens’ belief grows montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...

And had Dobes not succeeded so spectacularly and lost the game, Marco would not have been mentioned and Marty would have been positive about the next game and absorb blame for the loss. He’s just here to lift others up. Amazing human.

MSL asked Marco Marciano after the 3rd goal on Dobes what should I do. Marciano said leave him in.

The Mitch Marner story is one of the most bizarre ever. This world class player can't get any success in Toronto. He's a goat in the city. He gets booed. He's sacrificed. He goes to Vegas and he's the Conn Smythe winner of the first two rounds. What was it about Toronto that he couldn't succeed.

Speaking of absurd, this Mitch Marner goal to open the scoring ings in Anaheim

Call Of The Wilde coming... stick around... it's a good one

Remember when the Canadiens weren't scoring? Hutson with 12 and Suzuki with 12 points are tied for 7th in scoring in the playoffs.

He was a minus 2.75 after the third goal against. This kid is a fighter. He finished a plus .42 Incredible.

With 2 assists, Lane Hutson has 12 points. He is 7th in playoff scoring.

I missed calling it by one inch lol haha

Honestly, I am shocked at how much trouble Demidov is having to score. He's all over the puck. He's had so many chances. He hasn't scored in 16, going on 17, playoff games. It seems impossible.

This game is crazy. It's crazy how wide open it is. Wow. I wonder how the winner is gonna look playing against a Carolina team who never seem to have a player out of place. Will be an interesting set up

Listen, Kids, anyone taking their frustration out on me that the Habs are losing is getting muted... I am not your punching bag

The Sabres really pressed bodies forward there with all five lower than the dots on many occasions. There is a counter attack possible with that strategy. Could be some odd man rushes to exploit if they are going to be that aggressive

The Canadiens had an 84 share according to NST and are down 3-2. Oof

An extremely harsh assessment of the goaltending so far tonight for Dobes from an analysis/analytics POV.

Demidov finished 2nd. Dobes finished fourth. Schaefer was a unanimous winner of the Calder receiving all first place votes.

The series is even. The Canadiens started poorly, but a terrible bounce was even more vital than the start. The Call Of The Wilde is written for Global Montreal. globalnews.ca/news/1184636...

Butt end of the goalie stick I think
