The Slavkovsky backhanded chip to the middle of the ice was unreal, and a little sauce from Suzuki.

I think it's fitting that the three of them factored into the 50th quarter.

Well, Perry was going at Hudson last night.

They are two points up on Montreal, though.

Montreal jumped over to Tampa last night.

In the playoffs in particular, and that's it.

And I know I would be excited in Montreal.

Of course they're excited.

And I referenced it on the panel last night.

Doing hits in Montreal and talking to people from there, they've been starving for superstars up front and even on the point.

It was Carey Price forever.

And obviously they love Price, of course.

And PK was a superstar there for a few years.

But they've been waiting for the Suzuki's and the Caulfield's and the Demidov's and the Hudson's.

And they're all here.

They're all young.

They're all locked up and on term and on very reasonable contracts.

it's easy to be uber-optimistic.

You should be.

Yet, they've played five games in the playoffs, and they didn't get pumped by Washington.
