Just a few things that caught my eye:

• Carey Price is finished. He can't recover in Montreal. He may not be able to recover anywhere. That Patrick Roy arm raise in response to fan heckling said it all.

• Michael Ryder wasn't good enough to dress for most of the Habs' playoff games last season. Now he leads one of the deepest forward corps in hockey with four goals and seven points. Hmmmm...

• How long was Sean Avery's anger management course? Twelve weeks? No wonder it didn't work. Behaviour change takes a minimum of 13. Not sure he has that many more weeks on Broadway, either.

• Avery has pulled a lot of stunts this postseason and several Wednesday night alone. But nothing can top what he pulled at the end of the second. Alexander Ovechkin blew a tire on a rush at the end of the period and ended up hitting the boards. As he sat on the ice, Avery came up and poked the blade of his stick right above the NHL logo on the collar of Alex's shirt. Yes, you read that right. Avery put his stick in the throat of the best player in the NHL and he did so without penalty. I wonder what Avery sees when he looks in the mirror?

• Bob Gainey will resign before George Gillett fires him. Guy Charbonneau may have lost the room but Gainey has lost the city.

• Miracle on the red mile -- Olli Jokinen scores his first playoff goal EVER. He was a first-round selection (third overall) in June 1997. South Park debuted two months later and has won two Emmys. How much hardware does Olli have?
