@danvincent78 @baseball_cards @JaysFan81127 All are unbelievable

[Marco D'Amico @mndamico]

Sidney Crosby did not have a say in the selection of this team.

The sources I've reached out to around Hockey Canada burst out laughing when I asked if players had any say on the selection process.

The GMs involved didn't travel for days on end to be told who to pick by their own players.

[Virgil Brouillard @VirgilBRoux]

@BodogCA Yes, with the re-seeding Canada would take on Germany in the semi and USA vs Finland

[Mark @washedathlete3]

@FriedgeHNIC Canada time locked in on Wednesday? or find out after the play in games ?

[Anand Irrinki @docrinki]

@FriedgeHNIC Greg, do you know how seeding for 5-12 goes?
By points or placement in pool.
Then, do they reseed for QF or is the draw set?

[Jaden DG @KievCocktail]

@FriedgeHNIC Question for anyone who knows, is the 5 through 12 seeded off Points or are the 5 and 6 seeds the other 2nd place teams in their groups. So let’s say Sweden is 3rd, would they be automatically 7 at the highest?

[Daniel Vincent @danvincent78]

Here are my three takeaways from today’s 4-3 Montreal Canadiens overtime win over the Dallas Stars, brought to you by Snap Bar Sportif in Rigaud.

*feel free to RT and engage!*

1 — Canadiens avenge their worst loss

Montreal’s most lopsided loss of the season came back on November 13, when they were blown out 7–0 by the Dallas Stars. That game wasn’t close, and for many, it felt like the sky was falling after a night where just about everything went wrong.

This time around, the Canadiens were up for the task and wrapped up their road trip on a high note.

Dallas pushed hard in the third period, but Sam Montembeault responded by making up for a weak goal allowed earlier and came up with several big saves when it mattered most. The Habs seemed to be running on fumes and just wanted to get the game into overtime. They get the extra point thanks to a game winner by Lane Hutson.

The Canadiens head home feeling good about a road trip that can be classified as a tremendous success. Splitting the season series with one of the league’s top teams is an encouraging sign.

2 — Poor Phillip Danault

Sometimes the hockey gods just aren’t on your side. Danault is still searching for his first goal of the season, and we’re now past the halfway point. You can do all the right things, but at some point a zero in the goal column starts to weigh on any player.

Montreal’s most recent trade acquisition thought he had one in the first period. The only problem was Brendan Gallagher also got a piece of it. The celebration was emphatic, and it looked like the monkey was finally off his back — but not quite. Danault remains in search of his first goal.

That said, he did pick up an assist on the play, marking the 400th point of his NHL career.

3 — Oliver Kapanen is Montreal’s most overlooked player

Kapanen doesn’t get nearly enough credit, despite continuing to score at an impressive pace. With his goal this afternoon, he’s now on track for a 25-goal season — and very few people would have predicted that before the year began.

Yes, he’s benefitting from playing alongside Ivan Demidov and Montreal’s most productive forward in Juraj Slafkovsky, but that doesn’t diminish what he’s accomplished. He’s done nothing but produce.

Gone are the days when the main conversation around the Canadiens centered on the absolute necessity of acquiring a second-line center. They already have a rookie who’s outperformed the vast majority of names that have been floating around in trade rumors since the start of the season.

[Mitch Gallo @MitchyGallo]

Here are my three takeaways from tonight’s 3–2 Montreal Canadiens shootout win over the Winnipeg Jets, brought to you by Snap Bar Sportif in Rigaud.

1 — Finally, a complete game

The Montreal Canadiens were challenged by their coach, and they responded with elevated effort, better attention to detail, and a much cleaner performance in their own zone. The most encouraging part of their night was the way they played with hunger and a bit of controlled anger.

Yes, Winnipeg is an older, slower team that was finishing up a road trip, but Montreal actually took advantage of that and pushed the pace rather than sitting back. And how about this — they didn’t completely implode in the second period!

2 — Time to break up Matheson/Dobson

Although the pairing worked for a while, Martin St. Louis’ next move almost has to be splitting up Mike Matheson and Noah Dobson. It was a tough night for them, and it’s been trending that way for a bit. Sometimes a different look or a simple reboot is needed, and a change could also benefit Lane Hutson.

The Habs’ top pair was on for two goals against, and Dobson was, at times, more of a spectator than a participant. Yes, they take the hard minutes against top competition, but maybe Dobson’s minutes get scaled back slightly, and Hutson gets a chance to open things up more offensively at 5-on-5 with Matheson as his partner. We’ll see how much longer St. Louis sticks with the status quo.

3 — The Markov tribute was great

The Montreal Canadiens welcomed Andrei Markov home, and as always with Montreal ceremonies, it was done to perfection. His emotions were real, his speech was heartfelt, and the Bell Centre crowd got to cheer one more time for a player that an entire generation watched play more games than anyone else in their colours.

Markov had a terrific career with the Habs and absolutely deserved the moment. He spent 17 seasons with the same organization and nearly hit 1,000 games (thanks a lot, Marc Bergevin). After injuries slowed his skating, he reinvented himself and remained one of the smartest players on the ice. And how about this — during his Canadiens tenure, he played for five general managers, nine coaching changes, and two owners.

“Montreal, je t’aime.”
