Habsent Minded: Looking back at Tampa, what’s ahead in Buffalo -
With three podcast coming out in short order there is one article to cover all three. The first is a look back at the Tampa Bay Lightning series. Mostly it focused on a low event hockey gamble from Jon Cooper. The bet was on Andrei Vasilevskiy besting Jakub Dobeš. In the end the goalies stole one game each, and Dobeš came on put on top. Looking back on the picks the panel had a pretty good selection. Jared’s Lane Hutson pick was great, the defender played out of his mind and one would have to guess that even Montreal Canadien fans was surprised by how well he played defence. On top of that; Hutson was directly involved in every game winning goal the Canadiens had in the series; either by scoring it himself or assisting on it. Patrik’s Jakub Dobeš pick was good, as the goalie stole game seven of the Canadiens and was an integral part of the series since it became a low event series. Matt picked Ivan Demidov but the defensive p

The Montreal Victoire evened its best-of-five playoff series at 1–1 with a gritty triple-overtime win in Game 2, with the goal scored by Captain Clutch herself, Marie-Philip Poulin. Poulin, who was in visible discomfort most of the night, wired a one-timer from the right circle just over four minutes into the third overtime period. “Tonight’s win gives us momentum,” Marie-Philip Poulin said. “We wanted to win at home in front of our fans, we gave them practically two games in one. We’ll celebrate it, but we’ll go to Minnesota and do the work there.” Goaltending defined the night. Ann-Renée Desbiens stopped all 38 shots she faced for the shutout, rebounding from a rare five-goal outing in Game 1. At the other end, Minnesota’s Maddie Rooney was outstanding with 51 saves.

With their backs against the wall and the season on the line, the Laval Rocket stepped onto the ice in Toronto for Game 4 versus the Marlies, coming off of back-to-back 6-2 defeats in Games 2 and 3. The Rocket had to give this game everything they had, or would risk going home much earlier than expected after a regular-season division title. Pascal Vincent, clearly unhappy with the lineup’s effort over the last two games, scrambled things around all over the lineup. Alex Belzile was down to the second line with Sean Farrell and Joshua Roy, while Owen Beck was moved into his spot on the top line. Jared Davidson and Marc Del Gaizo found themselves as healthy scratches as Vincent Arseneau and Adam Engström drew in. The message was well received by the Rocket, who struck first inside the opening minute of play to get out of the gate early. Belzile grabbed a loose puck and sped down the ice while being kept slightly to the outside by the Marlies’ defence
