@DownGoesBrown Exactly. Spot and dead on the mark.

Not that I needed the #stanleycupfinal to reach this conclusion. It's clear Dobes was the best goaltender in the final 4 and likely the #NHL playoffs.

@HNIMtl I remember watching that game and goal live.

@PierrePoilievre Canada is in a technical recession by one common definition, but the margins are razor-thin, the data could be revised, and the claim that it's uniquely Carney's doing — or uniquely among G20 nations — is political spin more than verified economic fact.

@grantmccagg @gregbradyx Amen.

@Cinnew768 @mrmikeMTL Well done

Back in the lock-out shortened season, I was invited to travel with the Canadiens for a game on March 16, 2013 in New Jersey---in what was Brendan Gallagher's 24th NHL game.

On that trip, as a rookie he carried himself like a veteran: professional, composed, team-first. Gally's character was evident from Day 1. 14 years, 911 games. What a career.

"There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen."

This quote paraphrased from a speech given by Lenin is perfect for the Canadiens playoff run.

Montreal hasn't scored a goal since 4:43 of the second period in Game 3

[Paul @FrontRoworDie]

Canes up 3-0 in the first and what also sucks is 40% of next year's season tickets cost is due on Monday. Perfect.

@ivandemigoal Teams leading 3-1 after winning Game 4 on road, win 57% of the time in Game 5. Not much more than a coin flip. Will be tough for sure.

[Paul @FrontRoworDie]

@JMapkay @NHLRumourReport Like they should tonight! GHG

[Paul @FrontRoworDie]

@Antho_Martineau Makes sense. They've won three games in Carolina this season and the one loss was in overtime.

They have the Canes right where they want them!

We know teams down 3-1 in a NHL playoff series win the comeback just ~9% of the time. Approximately 360 series all-time.

Last ~22 Years(2004 –2026)

In that span, 14 teams pulled it off.
The Canadiens did it 4 times — 2004 vs Boston, 2010 vs Washington, 2014 vs Boston & 2021 vs Toronto — Habs hold the record. All four wins on the road.

By no means is the suggestion here that the Habs will pull off a comeback against this juggernaut Canes team.

It is noteworthy, however, that teams up 3 - 1 in a series coming home to play Game 5 win 55% of the time and 57% when they've won Game 4 to go up 3-1.

Habs are 4-2 in their last six Game 5 road appearances. The two losses were elimination games.

Finally, this Canadiens team has played .700 on the road all season including the playoffs and has pleasantly surprised its fans countless times this year.

@ivandemigoal That is so brilliant I wish I thought of that! Touche!

[Paul @FrontRoworDie]

@creaturesohabit @BaldwynXander The guy suggesting a coaching change is joking right?

[Paul @FrontRoworDie]

@HabsLaughs And might as well have been 10 good call
