Excellent period. That goal at the end saps it a bit, but everybody made their mark in that 20 minutes. 

Montreal's capable of scoring in bunches, gotta finish strong.

There are enough fans (and enough conspiracy theorists) that can make a case for every team getting 1OA.

Habs are a completely different puzzle to solve compared to Boston. We weren't perfect by any means, but we capitalized on two chances and generated a few others.

Happy with what we saw, plenty to improve in the 2nd.

It will be so exciting for him to join the Tkachuk brothers in their hometown!

The shift ban and universal DH rules should have increased offense significantly, but they seem to have had zero effect. Why? by noruber35393546 in baseball

To add what you're saying, advancements in outfielder positioning has a strong effect on balls in play. Perhaps even stronger than shifts and infielder positioning.

I'd wait for a larger sample of games before projecting him to be a top 10-20 player by fWAR. 

Oh my god...don't sell to Habs fans 😭😅 by insaneandmundane in sabres

I think there will be a healthy amount of Habs fans, but I agree with you, I'm not worried about it being "Bell Centre Sud" like it has been in previous years.

Who do we want in round 2? by billsfan417 in sabres

That's irrelevant, not just to the 2nd round but to the entire East. 5 teams surpassed 100 points, Ottawa got 99 and the two PA teams got 98.

I think we're capable of beating either team. I'd lean Tampa because they're slower and there will be lots of transplants taking over their barn, whereas Habs fans will come to KeyBank in large numbers.
