The Hurricanes about to lose at home for the first time since March 29th……against the Canadiens.

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

@JFreshHockey @emanningwrites So strange to see him down there. Optimist says this is a good sign. They have the luxury to adjust and improve. Like you said. It’s needed to compete against the canes.

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

The Habs are the anti-Carolina Hurricanes.

Habs don’t shoot unless it’s worth it; worth losing possession. Canes shoot everything (And regain possession). repeat.

Very different styles. Will be exciting !

[HabsFinn @HabsFinn]

The regular season series between the #GoHabsGo and #SoundTheSiren at 5v5.

Should be fun.

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

Super cool.

[Chris Johnston @reporterchris]

The Montreal Canadiens are the youngest NHL team to advance to the conference final since the 1993 #habs, per @NHLPR.

Both teams with an average age of 25.8.

The most under appreciated aspect about hockey— the subtle deception by positional play to manipulate the movement of the puck in your favour.

Here Hutson intentionally gives space to induce the bad pass and interception.

Or. Just hockey.

[Kyle MacLennan @MacLennan28]

Really nice sequence from Hutson in man on man coverage. Structure seems to fit Hutson, an undersized defender with mobility and an elite mind much better than being anchored around the slot to engage in those types of battles

Also allows him to make reads and jump puck movement higher in the zone and quickly transition to offence. @JhanHky highlights this in his book

Will be interesting to see how the team as a whole handles the Carolina offensive zone pressure and pace. On the flip side, I'll be even more curious to see how Montreal's dynamic offensive zone plays against the Hurricanes man on man coverage

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

Not in a million years. Dach and Bolduc don’t fit this narrative. Proof that role players are more about ‘a time’ than a career; that hockey does indeed have a component of magic.

[Mike Kelly @MikeKellyNHL]

41 lines have played more than this one at 5v5 in the playoffs. None have more goals or a better goal differential...

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

This guy is a true leader. A real human.

[/r/Habs @HabsOnReddit]

Habs coach Marty St. Louis today when asked about fans “going overboard” with Kirby Dach on social media:

“I don’t know, it’s tough. We need all hands on deck, fans included. We’re not perfect. Guys are gonna make mistakes. But I can tell you we have good intentions out there. I would say ‘Let’s stick together.”

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

Bieksa. Always right.

[Sportsnet 590 The FAN @FAN590]

“He’s making it personal with the comment at Slafkovský, rather than looking at the bench and getting them going… I didn’t like it.”

@kbieksa3 joins @RealKyper and @jtbourne to weigh in on Brandon Hagel's fight against Juraj Slafkovský.

Jon Coopers magic coaching tactics including double shifting Sabourin— smell like really bad desperation.

Good luck in Montreal Jon.

[Evan Closky @ECloskyWTSP]

"I mean, somebody needs to be the villain, I guess. And we're OK with it."

Jon Cooper after tonight's 3-2 overtime win against Montreal.

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

I think these guys really appreciated the ‘knockout’ and little man gestures from Hagel. Don Cherry might’ve said something like ‘these things come around’.

[aur²⁰ @wck4d_]

tampa… meet your enders😽😽

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

This is wild stuff. Wonder what Don Cherry would say?

[What Chaos! @WhatChaosShow]

Behavior grade? 🤔

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

@pennypacker_h Exactly. I kinda like it. If they think that formula works for them. Good for them. Keep playing Sabourin.

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

Gotta say. Embarrassingly over the top for TB players. They looked desperate, foolish and high. If the narrative is that these actions won them the game, then I’m happy to buy it. See you in Montreal.
#gohabsgo

[Gino Hard @GinoHard_]

Corey Perry and Brandon Hagel were going off with the chirps in the penalty box 🗣️😭

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

@pennypacker_h It’s wild. Habs had them on the ropes. And TB pulled all desperate moves. Like pressing all the buttons in the PS controller.

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

This AI generated comedy skit is very funny. Imagine real NHL players doing that. Too funny.

[Jesse Blake @JesseBlake]

Hahahaha

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

I wonder if TB has more to offer?

Feels like the #gohabsgo got a lot more there. Don’t think we’ve seen their best yet.

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

@chucksahoy Ya. All of it looked like pure desperation to me.

[Jason Paul 🥥 @WaveIntel]

Is Hagel high?

Love MTLs composure in the face of a wildly high and desperate TB team.
