Yes, I am *the* Kevin Smith. Just not that one. Or that one.

@jtbourne Habs have been creating a good team culture 🤷‍♂️

@jkamckenzie Do the split-squad games count as one? Because I thought there was a 4 game limit?

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@mndamico This is a thought I've had for a few weeks now. No idea if it would be a good move, but it's intriguing for sure

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@edbenhin @JulioHashem Told you he was a shit choice for captain 🤷‍♂️

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@jkamckenzie @reporterchris @sdpnsports Who was a worse Sens captain, Tkachuk or Yashin? 👀😂

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@alancaw @Ditha23 @DundalkFC Even the factually and objectively inaccurate bit?

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@lopydeer @charliejclarke @CPLsoccer Again, it's not about that. If it was, for example, Pacific at Ottawa, it's fine, few Pacific fans make the trip regardless. But Supra fans could easily travel to Ottawa for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon game

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@lopydeer @charliejclarke @CPLsoccer It's not about having A game on a Tuesday night, it's about having This game.
There are only two reasonable road trips in the league, those games should *always* be on weekends to encourage away fan attendance.

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@GarethWheeler The league still needs to improve its scheduling though 🙃🤷‍♂️

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@jkamckenzie @reporterchris @sdpnsports Okay, you two just became billionaires and the NHL has awarded you an expansion franchise that you can put literally anywhere (except Coburg 😅) - where are you putting it?

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@TheBaronOfBeard @the_habitant Ehlers and Chatfield are 30 now.
Of your top 9 by average ice time, 6 are 30+, with the other three 28, 26, 24.

By contrast, just 1 of Montreal's top 9 is 30+, while 7 are 26 and under.

It's not an excuse, it's a fact. The Canes are roughly average, the Habs are very young 🤷‍♂️

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@TheBaronOfBeard @the_habitant The Canes are so young that 14 of the 21 players to dress for a playoff game so far are 30+.

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@BleedOilBlue @OutMe1414 The NHL has also changed how they're counting shots on goal (which are down ~12% since 2022), so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@domluszczyszyn It's quite fascinating to see someone completely ignore context like this. But I guess it's not surprising coming from you 🙄

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@CCpxpSN @hnicsimmer keep claiming the Habs recorded the fewest shots in playoff history over an x game span, completely ignoring the fact that shots are being tracked very differently this year - apparently down 12.1% since 2022, whereas goals are down just 0.09% 🙄🙄

[Kevin Smith @viruk42]

@jkamckenzie Yep. Who knows what would have happened.

Also of note, I believe there were 36 powerplays in CAR-OTT, 41 in CAR-PHI. So far just 22 in CAR-MTL. Where have the penalties gone? How much does that benefit one team vs the other?
