NHL Playoff Observations: Revenge is Sweet

Just a few things that caught my eye:

  • The Bolts' big shots showed up Tuesday night. The Habs? They discovered their big guys are actually really, really small.
  • Hmmmm ... I wonder where P.K. Subban thinks Ben Bishop's horseshoe is now?

  • Carey Price wore the loss on his sleeve: "I didn't play well enough." That's just what good leaders do -- they give their teammates the credit when things go well and wear the mistakes of the group when things go bad. I like him. A lot.
  • "Extremely doubtful." Wasn't that obvious? Ryan Callahan had a freaking emergency appendectomy Monday night.
  • Nikita Kucherov. Wow. After going 0-for-the first round, he drained six goals in six games against the Habs.
  • Whatever ailed Steven Stamkos earlier in the series looks long, LONG gone. He was everywhere.
  • Note to the Habs. You can't win -- even with a great goalie -- if you can't freaking score. They scored just seven goals in the five games that bookended their 6-2 win.
  • The difference between the English and French versions of CBC's game broadcast? The cameras on the English-language broadcast caught Brendan Morrow doing his ritualistic two-spins-per-penalty while he was in the penalty box (I know. Weird.) The French-language broadcast caught him between spins ... oggling a well-endowed female fan in a white shirt who was making her way back to her seat. (I know. Human, but there's a game going on here, dude.)
  • Better yet -- why is Brendan Morrow still in the NHL?
