Happy spring to you.

Well, and yeah, looking back to my hometown, I don't think it's ever going to stop snowing this year, this spring in Thunder Bay.

Still some winter weather around.

That's for darn sure.

But spring is here and that means playoffs are close.

Just three and a half weeks left.

about that for the regular season for the Montreal Canadiens standings are getting tight very tight tempers are getting short Marty St.

Louis yeah the Canadians are going to finish up this regular season April 14th close to you in Philadelphia but lots lots to happen between now and then

Yeah, it was the two California teams on a back-to-back last Saturday and Sunday, San Jose and Anaheim.

And it gave the Canadiens fans an up-close chance to see two young, exciting, talented, skilled centers play.

Nick Suzuki dropped his verdict.

He said their line was much better than the opposition lines that they were facing.

And Suzuki and Caulfield had a goal each in this.

This game was notable as well because it was Brendan Gallagher

was designated a healthy scratch by Marty St.

Louis.

But it was Celebrini who had the last laugh here.

Two goals and an assist leading the Sharks, that being Macklin Celebrini, to a 4-2 win, as you said.

Leo Carlson, in this case, the young, talented center from California for Anaheim.

He had two goals and an assist and led his Ducks to the 4-3 win.
