They will never go 1-16 because of travel. They really need to go 1-8 in conference though. Go back to 4 team divisions and have 4 winners, 4 wild cards. Or keep it 2, doesn't matter but you would need to have every team play everyone in their own conference the same number of games.

Yeah i thought the same thing about travel 1-8 conference works well other than Dallas being a long haul flight the rest works

I've seen stats posts by others that penalties aren't fewer in playoffs. I don't believe it though. Eyeballs don't lie. But if they are fewer, that's gotta help us, especially since our pp has been ass lately.

Big time disagree.

The Habs aren't a physical team so they'll play the same regardless of how the game is called, but not calling as many penalties gives the more physical teams free reign to ramp it up and bully even more. Last playoffs we saw Cole, Gally, and someone else take crosschecks to the face with no call. Wilson destroying Carrier pretty much won them a game. And we barely even responded to their bullying except the 1 game Arber played.
So I would say the tighter the game is called, the better for the Habs regardless of how special teams are doing.

Could be right. Should be physical vs tb. We can hold our own. Last game vs them was a war.

What's up with the logo on the 'Cane's sweaters?

Is it a hockey stick flagpole with red flag hurricane warnings?


STANKY x2!

And yes, that’s right.

And the space between the flags is supposed to be the shape of NC.


Random question......what do you guys think of the Spittin Chiclets crew? Or do none of you watch/follow them?

I hated to see him get traded from the Stars. I understand why. He's going to be an above average to great player for you guys for a long time.

He’s so much fun to watch and keeps improving.


Nice "slashing" call on Johansson to even the calls up.


Welp that wasn't much fun 😡

I don't mind the short segments. Don't watch long form


we started out drinking every time they said battle for Pennsylvania but had to abandon it pretty early so we wouldn’t die


Porter Martone has a wicked shot.

The Flyers are also paving the way for Michkov to leave, which I don't love.


Not sorry heels?
