So am I finding the right McAvoy here? (As in, a 19 year-old who has never played an NHL game)
And if so... why is he playing with Chara?

Because otherwise he'd have to play with Liles or Miller.

The Habs dealt some asset to the Kings for a song to keep them ahead of the Golden Seals in the standings, because they had the Seals' first round pick in 71. That pick became first overall, Guy Lafleur.

That's some Little Finger tier planning.

The Canadiens bought a drat hockey league to force Beliveau to play for them.


Edit: That might be a myth. Beliveau's wiki page says it's true, but the page for the league he was playing in says it isn't.

Yeah and I think that's still Columbus.

But some people think they underperformed last year, so that maybe their jump from expectation to finish isn't as high.

I mean Torts doesn't deserve it either because he didn't actually do a good job coaching and his recent comments show he's still a loving moron who learned the wrong lessons, but all that counts is wins.

Torts is this year's Patrick Roy. His team was buoyed by ridiculous goaltending and some good puck luck.

Babcock is an actually good coach who is coaching an actually good team.

That's another issue. The NHL seems to define "intent to injure" as trying to knock a guy out a few games.

A nut shot isn't going to do that probably, but the whole goal of doing it is to make the guy hurt. A slash is intent to injure. Fighting is intent to injure.

I haven't watched a single one of the games but there's no way an 11-9 count in Columbus/Pittsburgh is calling it fair.
