Nice puck movement leading to the Kunitz goal.
Edit: I really hope they don't break up this line when Crosby returns.

Fucking Krejci :/
He must have read this in the intermission.
Just watching bits of the Canucks/Habs game right now since I was just catching parts of it without audio last night. Craig Simpson is always hard to listen to. For whatever reason tends to frame them in a negative light (mostly with penalty calls or supposed non-calls).
Luongo was not great. Dunno what's happened to him the last few games. Hopefully Schneider plays on Wednesday.

Very true. At least we saw competent defensive play, not-awful goaltending, and but for a few unlucky bounces and the play of Bryzgalov we might have won. It makes me especially frustrated Burke gave Wilson so long to try and right the ship; had Carlyle come in earlier, we might have stolen a few more pity points and remained in the play-off race.
I'm not worried about Vancouver, they're coasting and ran into a Montreal team buoyed by the return of Markov.
Markov looked pretty solid at times out there. He's going to have such a important and positive impact on Subban, Emelin and Diaz. The only down side is that I can easily see the Habs playing themselves above the Leafs, Islanders, Canes and even Lightning, and thus out of a good draft spot.
yea, i suck. i had to make up for it somehow

I very nearly did. Last night's game was pure trash. How do you get a shutout but still manage to lose? Leafs found a way. I feel bad they even got a point for doing absolutely nothing all night. It was right up there with the Florida game one of the worst games I've seen all season.
This is some horrible stuff for the Bruins, maybe they can hope to face the Rangers and recover in the 1st round since "the Rangers are done".
Missed all of the game minus Giroux's insane goal.
How in the hell did Toronto manage to hold Philly to zero goals? What sorcery was in use last night?
Also Solo not that I think it will happen but what will you do if the Habs end up with more points then the Leafs by the end of this season?

+ No effort. You literally missed nothing.
Judging by this diagram seems the Leafs just iced the puck nonstop and focused hard on winning every faceoff. Crude but effective.
Ice cold.
I still would enjoy seeing the last game of the season having both teams with the exact same amount of points, winner goes on to draft greatness and loser falls to like #8 or something in the draft.
It'd be quite the odd time here in NHL-GAF.

Yikes, that could have been really bad. I think Boychuk turned to face the boards at the last second, when Malkin meant to push him shoulder-first. Hopefully Boychuk is okay, seems it.

Nice! Only two points out of top of east now!
Turco is so slow.
9 in a row.
3 point games for Neal and Malkin. Fleury continues to be beastly. We exceeded the Bruins physicality and smashed them around all game. Bring on the Rangers.
He just bit way too early, leaving a wide open net for Dupuis to backhand it into.

Northeast you mean? Rangers are still waaaaay ahead, even if KingHenrik makes it seem like they're out of the playoffs.

What?
What? He's talking about the Pens, who have 89 points now. The Rangers have 91.
TIM THOMAS IS A TERRORIST
Oh sorry, thought that was about Ottawa being 2 points behind Boston, like it has been brought up a few posts ago. Disregard what I said about the points.
It's because of injuries right? RIGHT?
He was obviously real rusty defensively for the majority of the night, and picked it up near the end. Offensively he was great, a lot of great stretch passes with one lead to a partial break away for Patcioretty, and his PP work was great including his perfect touch pass to Subban for the one timer. Felt amazing to see them playing together finally. Ended up playing 17 mins and was +1 I think so overall a really successful night for him.
His trademark!

Immensely stupid penalty by Malkin late, but you can't argue with a 75% faceoff win % against the best in the league. 3 helpers puts him back ahead of Stamkos for the Art Ross too... Fucking love it. If Crosby comes back for the Rangers game... mother fucking epic.

Stars have been hot lately.
Looks like Pacific will be down to LA, SJ, PHX, and Dallas.. All really close.
Anaheim is pretty much out I think.

Kessel yawning on the bench was just collective consciousness at work.
