For the Sabres it is a head or tail throw, Ruff knows it and, as opposed to Marty, he has been praying night and day since saturday night, hoping his decision will be the good one!

I love coin flips having to be made by a coach in professional sports. They can make history.

My favorite all time favorite coin flip move happened in another sport- baseball. In the 1968 World Series, Detroit manager Mayo Smith was faced with a critical decision. Facing the strong pitching staff of the St. Louis Cardinal led by ace and Hall of Famer Bob Gibson and his 1.12 ERA, Smith had to decide whether to bench starting shortstop Ray Oyler, who that season batted an MLB worst .135 and was the ultimate automatic out, and start a better hitter while sacrificing defense at a critical position. Smith decided to start regular centerfielder Mickey Stanley at SS, bench Oyler and his anemic bat, and the rest is history, as Stanley hit, made 2 errors (not leading to any runs) and Detroit would win the World Series 4 games to 3.

Demidov made a great defensive play to poke the puck away from the Sabres player, and start the scoring sequence. Both players are heroes. But Newhook is the game 7 hero again!!!!!

He had more than one long-term injury since he joined the Canadiens. This season he started really well before missing a few months for a broken ankle (i think?). But when he is healthy, the guy has speed and can score. He also won a cup with Colorado in 2022, an important feat to be a part of.

Who would have thought the Habs would make it to the Eastern final this year? Not me. I was expecting progression, but this is way beyond this!

Je ne sais pas ce que ça augure pour le match deux mais c'est la quatrième fois que Brind'Amour mène les Hurricanes en finale de conférence, après trois éliminations en demi-finale de la LNH. La Caroline affiche désormais un bilan de 0 victoire et 7 défaites en match d'ouverture de finale de conférence. Les Hurricanes ont également perdu leurs dix derniers matchs à domicile en finale de conférence, la plus longue série de défaites à domicile à ce stade de la compétition dans l'histoire des séries éliminatoires de la Coupe Stanley.

It's so good to see so much offence from our top players in game 1! Slaf, Demidov, Caufield, Suzuki, all on fire! By times it looked like what they gave us in many regular season games. Add some Danault spice into the mix and there you go, 6-2 win in the first game of the Eastern Conference final.

Andersen was supposed to be on a cloud. I guess he was, so far. But he didn't look like a god at all last night.

We'll see on the long term if it helps them, but the whopping 12 days break certainly did not help the Canes last night. Habs are on a mission.

But......these damn goals against in the first minute, i'm so sick of it. Again last night, after 30 seconds......

I cant imagine Rod Brind’Amour’s speech between the first and second period. Besides their quick first goal, the Canes didnt show up at all in the first 20 minutes.

I heard Martin St. Louis interviewed between periods and this guy speaks excellent English. His accent is 99% imperceptible. This is a guy who was born and grew up in Laval. I do understand that he went to college in Vermont and lived in my home state of Connecticut for many years (having married an American woman from CT), but he really does well with the English language. Better than many other French Canadian players who have played in the U.S. If I didn't know who he was and ran into him in a bar, I wouldn't know he was from Canada. I hear CT, Anglo-English coming out of his mouth.
