Chapter 1: What happened in the Montreal Canadiens vs. Buffalo Sabres Game 3?
think of what this kid's going through and what a year it has been. No rookie goaltender this year had more wins than he did with 29 and he's about to win another playoff game and he's smiling.
A fan had a stop sign with Dobich on it and this building came to its feet. Welcome to 32 Thoughts, the podcast presented by your Canadian Toyota dealers and the 2026 Tacoma. Get yours before red tag days are over. Dom, Elliot and Kyle back with you. Elliot, you and I are in Montreal where it was Mother's Day madness. on Sunday night. Game three between the Canadians and the Sabres.
It was a wild one. The Canadians, a big win to go up two games to one. Lindy Ruff said in the morning he would love to shut the crowd down by getting one early. They got that, Tage Thompson, 53 seconds into the game. But what was amazing, Elliot, in watching... how the night ended the love affair between Jakob Dobish and the Montreal faithful that continues to grow.
He seems like a guy that's checking all the boxes for someone who this city remembers for a long time, plays with emotion, doesn't back down from anyone. And he flat out wins hockey games. What a scene here on Sunday.
Incredible scene. First of all, hope all the mothers out there had an awesome Mother's Day, a special day where they were treated and felt like the goddesses they are. And for all of us that come from mothers or are partnered with mothers, I hope you all took care of them today. and made them feel like the goddesses they are.

Chapter 2: What were the highlights from the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Anaheim Ducks game?
It is their day, and boy, do they deserve it, because a lot of us have made them crazy throughout the years. It was a fantastic night. And, you know, I have to say, Kyle, even when Buffalo scored that early goal, I didn't think Montreal was in trouble. I agreed with Lindy Ruff. I agree with you. Buffalo had to score early.
Chapter 3: Why is there a call to end the 'Marner discourse'?
But I think the Montreal crowd was... The way the Canadians have consistently battled and come back this year, I didn't think they were rattled. I don't think they took the air out of the building.
Chapter 4: What can we learn from the Colorado Avalanche vs. Minnesota Wild Game?
They were like, well, that sucks, but there's still 59 minutes to play. And I think the Canadians have proven that especially after that first-round series against Tampa and the kind of series it was, that they can take a punch and recover. Now... I am going to give everybody here some advice, okay? It's free. Free advice. Take it. If you can get a chance to watch Lane Hudson play, go see it.
Chapter 5: How did the Carolina Hurricanes achieve a playoff sweep against the Flyers?
Spend the money on the ticket. Go watch him. TV does not do this guy justice. Of course, we do an elite production job at the NHL and Sportsnet and Hockey Night in Canada, of course. But still, it does not do justice to go see this guy play. The keep-in he made on the first power play that led to a goal just –
All the little plays he makes, you have to go to a game and spend the game watching him to really appreciate how good this guy is. Now, this year, it was a brutal year for the Norris. I'll be honest, he did not make my final five. But I can tell you this, this might be the last year for 10 years he doesn't make it. And I'm making this prediction right now, Kyle, right now.
He is going to win multiple Norris trophies, not just one and maybe not just two. He is going to win multiple Norrises. So, first of all, do you disagree with anything I have said?
Not in the least.
Chapter 6: What is the latest on the Vancouver Canucks front office search?
Good. Then you can continue as the co-host of this podcast.
Not six.
Could be seven. Could be seven. There's a famous quote.
Chapter 7: What questions and comments did listeners have for The Thoughtline?
The first year Bobby Orr showed up, the Norris winner was Harry Howell. And after he won it, Howell was a great defenseman, Hall of Famer, played for the Rangers. He said, I'm glad I won it this year because Orr might win it for the next 10 years. And he was pretty much right. He nearly did. Yeah, Howell was not wrong about that. I don't think that'll happen, but he's going to win a couple.
Can I, can I tell a quick Hudson story here before you continue? So his first ever game in the NHL at the end of the season in Detroit, and we were doing the game was a Monday night when we still did the Monday night games, Alex Lackey. Lyon actually told this story the other day because he was playing for the Red Wings at that time.
Chapter 8: What are the implications of the current playoff performances on future team strategies?
And so he remembers before the game, you know, going over video, they're like, all right, Montreal's got this kid, Hudson, playing his first game, like dump it into his corner, just pressure him, pressure him, pressure him, go at him, you know, like his first game in the NHL, he's going to be nervous.
And I guess after the first, you know, first period, guys are going at him and he's, you know, shifty around the ice, walking around, guys, first intermission, they get back in the room and they're like, Yeah, maybe we don't pressure him that hard. Maybe just try to contain. Maybe contains the move here. Let's not go right at him. He seems to be okay with that. That was excellent.
That's a great story. Outstanding story. Excellent. So one thing about Hudson was I spoke to him after the game quickly. I was with David Amber, and we waited until his scrum ended, and then we spoke to him. And I said, okay, you're back in the film room, like that thing we did before the playoffs with the Lightning. I said, what are you thinking on that Caulfield goal? And
Kyle, this kid's brain is elite. And not only is his brain elite, but the way he explains it to morons like myself is elite. So he says that Greenway was coming at him And he says if Greenway lunges at him, he shoots the puck between his legs. That's what he's going to do. But because Greenway slides, he knows now he can take the puck past him and skate closer and make a play.
And I said, did you always see Caulfield? And he goes, actually, first I saw Demidov. I saw Demidov there. And then I saw Caulfield. So just think about this. I know it's a power play, so it's five on four. But he's still doing this at great speed. And think of how quickly he's processing all these decisions. Okay, Greenway is going to launch. Oh, no, he didn't launch. He slid.
So I'm switching from this plan to this plan. Oh, there's Demidov. No, wait, there's Caulfield. And he makes a perfect play and Caulfield puts it in. Like this kid's brain, he's like Einstein. It should be preserved in a jar just for a billion years. And I said to him,
You know, I understand you don't want to give away all this stuff all the time, but you should be doing YouTube videos of what you're thinking so kids can understand how you do this. And then I looked at Amber and I said, you are far smarter than Dave and I put together. He liked that. He thought that was funny. But it's just, I love watching him play. I think everybody should go watch him play.
And the thing I also really do appreciate about him, Kyle, is that when the game's over... If we, if someone asks him, what are you thinking? He'll tell you it's, he's really incredible. He really is.
Yeah. And it was the same thing. Like after he scored his overtime goal against Tampa last round, uh, talking to him the next day and similar, just getting the breakdown of like, how on earth did you see an open there? Cause remember there was that great freeze frame where it looked like there was 30 people in between him and Andre Vasilevsky. And somehow the shot gets through clean. Um,
