You don't choose the dad joke life, the dad joke life chooses you.

It's pretty incredible that I tuned in to the game with the Knicks down by double digits and I still *missed* most of the comeback.

[Matthew Holly @MatthewHolly]

If I'm Zharovsky arriving in Montreal this summer to train alongside Demidov, then I have questions. Specifically about the aborted Knies trade.

[Matthew Holly @MatthewHolly]

It's almost like this Marner guy wasn't the problem in Toronto. Maybe just being surrounded by gamers instead of whiners is an important element for success. Who would have thought?

Is it just me, or are Hinton's takes on AI getting progressively more unhinged week after week?

[Matthew Holly @MatthewHolly]

The good news is that the Hurricanes play a style the Habs hope to perfect over the next 3-5 years. The bad news is that the fanbase will expect them to be dominant next season. They are ahead of schedule. Patience.

Personally, I would have found a way to get Gallagher in tonight's lineup. When your back is against the wall and you need a spark -- anything, really -- you should count on your leaders and warriors. Gallagher is both.

If you're out here bragging about how you shipped 100K LOC this week alone, you're not a 100X engineer. You're not a 10X engineer. You're not even an engineer.

You are a sciolist. A slopmonger.

@Rick1042 It's funny how quickly the goalposts get moved in a hockey-crazed market starved for success.

By all measures, this season has already been a success for the Habs. They're just not there yet.

But yeah, in a few days we'll find out which players hate to lose.

[Matthew Holly @MatthewHolly]

It was fun while it lasted. And by that, I mean game #1 of the ECF. The Canes are the better team and it's not even close. They are executing their game plan to perfection.

The Habs aren't hobbled by injuries like the Avs; they're humbled by maturity and precision.

Likewise, "let's lose every puck battle across all 3 zones" is a suboptimal winning strategy.

#GoHabsGo

[Matthew Holly @MatthewHolly]

Listen. 12 shots on goal after almost 4 periods of hockey is not a winning formula.

When the refs pull one guy from a nothing scrum at the end of the second period, it proves that nothing matters. If Carolina extends their lead to 5- or 6-0, I would expect to see some nastiness.

[Matthew Holly @MatthewHolly]

I'll say this about Montreal's penalties and the officiating: the next one needs to hurt. Hurt the Habs so they stop taking penalties? Sure.

Or, preferably, something that causes Carolina to think twice about every single decision.

Run the goalie? Sure. Call it even.

Phillip Danault also gets a cross-checking penalty for assuming that the refs owed us one.

[Matthew Holly @MatthewHolly]

Mike Matheson gets 2 minutes for Ehlers trying to take a bite out of his stick.

OT picks:

Dobson for MTL
Aho for CAR

[Matthew Holly @MatthewHolly]

It's not an Eastern Conference Finals for the Habs until the other team realizes they can try to take out our goalie with zero repercussions.

#GoHabsGo

[Matthew Holly @MatthewHolly]

And there's a 5-on-5 goal for the top line. And for Caufield, in particular.

Listen. This started as a "pass it to Bulis" joke and then Newhook puts it in the net while I'm typing. What do you want?

[Matthew Holly @MatthewHolly]

Give it to Newh--
