NHL 2025-2026 Season

Suzy might lack in goals this year so far, with a couple of unlucky goal posts, but his passing is first-class. 18 points in 12 games is elite pointing, don't know if he can keep that pace, but i have a good feeling he can break the 100 points this year.

I wish to see him on Team Canada, another pass would be a slap in the face for him. Could argue that it's better for the Habs if he can rest for two weeks, but playing at that level and be with the best on and off ice has no price.

Montreal has moved up to #5 in the NHL Power Rankings. This is the highest power ranking this team has had since these power rankings came into existence, to my recollection:

NHL Power Rankings: 1-32 poll, Halloween identity for teams

The Avalanche stay at No. 1, with major shifts elsewhere in the top 10.

Look at this (1:33 of the video is replay), Tanev of the Leafs collides with Michkov and has to be stretchered off to a hospital:

To me it does not look like there should have been a penalty on Michkov. What it looked like is Tanev negliglently skated backwards into Michkov who was watching the puck and did not see Tanev skating backwards into him until the last second. The announcers were calling it a slewfoot but I am not seeing it, Tanev skating backwards created the contact and Michkov did not see him until the last second. To me its a play on, but unfortunately the contact whipped Tanev's head violently in whiplash fashion.

Exactly my conclusion after seeing the replay last night.

November will be a very tough month for the Habs! We could look at a different picture at the end of it. They wont be able to keep ruining 2-3 goals lead and then win in OT.
