“a player may ‘block’ the path of an opponent provided he is in front of his opponent and moving in the same direction.” eriksson-ek was neither in front of suzuki nor moving in the same direction. it’s a penalty. there aren’t a lot of black and white rules in the rulebook. this is one of them.

That Hutson pass was bananas. Just foolish. To see it let alone make it 😳

Nice look at the state of the team from Andrew. Give it a read

Not only does the rule suck but we barely ever get the look that shows it's offside 🙄

What if Reinbacher is actually overcooked? Comes in as a deadline add? Sure it's unlikely buuuuut...

...and how about Kapanen? Just waltzes in and is a very good 2C. 28th in the NHL for points for centres

Dobson is so super solid. Like Nick on the backend. Super good but makes it look so easy it's underrated

Fix this. It's so inconceivably stupid that the shituation room or an off ice official in the press box can't just talk to the ref in ear/the timekeeper quickly and we just move on. Just. Get. It. Right. it's not 1982 here folks 😡

Et le But!

Who is this Joe Veleno, and what did they do with the old Joe Veleno?

Doug knows. When this roster gets healthy they're going to be a problem this year. Next? Bigger problem. Hughes isn't going to out them in a bad spot. So freakin exciting

Ole ole ole. Ole. Ole. 🇫🇷

They're all feeling the love! Keep it up peeps. Can't wait to get there again now with a team like this. Chills

This confirms a thought I had during the game. Aren't was good. Again. I'd like to know if the underlying stats match why I've been seeing out of 72 lately. @maybeitsian.bsky.social mailbag?

He's so friggin happy about it too!

Juraj also gets it

Kent knows! I'm very happy to hear this from the management team 👏🏼

Lane at #8 in the Norris in year two. Nick at #2 in the Selke and going to the Olympics! Demidov at #3 for Calder. It's been a minute since we've been this blessed #Habs fans

Watch Duchene off the draw here 😆

First half Slaf

Monty was happily solid. Like he watched Fowler and saw how to be calm again

I think Danault-Bolduc-Anderson in the playoffs is a PROBLEM

Juuuuust wait folks. I have a feeling he's going to be a completely different player. You think the Carrier deal tired the season? Add in the returning players...

Brian with another great read. Future is so bright

If you haven't seen this yet go put it on. Now. 🎄🥂

😮‍💨

The Canadiens are 9th in goals for per game. The Canadiens are 30th in goals against per game. #Danault

Is this good GMing? I think this is good GMing

Kent cookin

We want Jake Evans. I can do a second...I got lots

Marty turning Joe into a killer bottom 6?

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

"Juraj Slafkovsky was the catalyst for a tally as well, as he continues to improve. He is seeing the ice beautifully now" I'm seeing he's also playing through the opposition, not trying to dance around everyone. Imposing himself on the game.

Talented enough to get a point while getting jobbed. To the next

...and last year they were 11-15-3 after 29 games last year

Wouldn't it be incredible if he grabbed the crease and never let go...this was the start of them making the playoffs this year and many many years to come...wouldn't it...maaaan sports is fun sometimes...even despite the shite sandwich right now...

Pretty sure it's not Craig tending goal for St. Lou but otherwise a great read as always 😜 @bwildemtl.bsky.social

The Goats section!

*nods vigorously*

@bwildemtl.bsky.social time to start pondering on the rebrand of the Goats segment. It won’t be too long and too many nights it’ll be empty. Gotta work it into something that’s dual purpose

@maybeitsian.bsky.social is there numbers on how often Cs are tossed from the dot? Jake Evans seems to not get tossed as much as most centres from the eye test

lol

No goats!

Maaaaaybe Veleno got a little more time tire injuries and Marty’s getting through. Looked good again tonight

@maybeitsian.bsky.social Hell of an into for HNIC tonight for your first! *excuse the crappy phone recording

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

@lockedoncanadiens.bsky.social serious question here. Do all NHL players get eye tests? Any chance Monty is nearsighted and just doesn’t know it because it’s been a gradual change? Didn’t that happen to a Jays player in the past couple of years?

Gabriel gets it. Tire fire isn’t the time to call up the kid

Hey Guys I gotta plan!

Bad bad man
