2024-2025 NHL season

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

I have pretty vivid memories of the Devils-Red Wing final series for the 1995 Stanley Cup, in which Lemaire's Devils stunned the heavily favored Red Wings in a 4 game sweep using the neutral zone trap. It was an extremely lopsided series.that was the first Stanley Cup championship for New Jersey as they were buoyed by the efforts of Conn Smythe MVP Claude Lemieux and goalie Martin Brodeur. Lemieux was developed by Montreal as a young player before he came to the Devils. I think Jacques Lemaire liked him.

Lemieux, one of the most hated player of his time but, in those years, if you were a serious Stanley cup contender, you wanted him on your side. He was the definition of the ideal clutch player. 4 Cups and 1 Connie Smythe, he would do anything on the ice to drive his opponents mad, and that included scoring the most important goals.

Donc ça prend des victoires de MTL, CAR et BRUINS puisque ceux-ci ont toujours 2 matchs de plus que MTL.

Bizarre penalty against Matthews during Leafs lost last night. Him and Merzlikins collided and both lost their sticks, Merzlikins picked up Matthews stick to defend his net and Matthews did the same with the goalie’s stick but quickly dropped it without making any action with it. When the play was stopped, Matthews got a 2 minutes penalty for an illegal stick!!!

The Rangers are on quite a roll! But it shouldn’t be surprising considering many predicted they’d be Cup contenders this season & have one of the best goalies in the league. Plus the fact Peter Laviolette is a very good coach. Elsewhere the Habs got their asses handed to them in Detroit & Ottawa has been very inconsistent. Brady Tkachuk hasn’t had a point in nine games & it’s really starting to bother him. Tomorrow’s game against the rival Leafs is a big one for them. Toronto already leads their division & are banged up already so a loss wouldn’t be such a big deal for them.

In other news the Islanders signed Tony Deangelo & i can’t understand that decision by the 82-year old GM. Deangelo is a talented player but he’s been a cancer on every team’s he’s played on. THE PLAYERS HATE HIM! He even burned bridges in the KHL & he was so detrimental to the team that although he was one of the best players on the team they sent him back home!

The trade is a little better for Colorado than you suggest. Martin Necas had 55 points for Carolina, almost as productive as Rantanen. However I am surprised by the trade, like you. I suspect Necas may have been in Brind'Amour's doghouse.

Sens are on a roll! They beat Nashville last night & are now only 2 points behind the Leafs in the Atlantic! Don’t look now but believe it or not both the Bruins & Lightning are currently out of the wildcard! The improving Red Wings & Blue Jackets currently hold the two wildcard spots. So many decent teams all bunched up together & the standings can change on any given night.
