Talking Hockey On A Sunday Morning -
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,- Two years from now, Auston Matthews’ contract is up with the Maple Leafs, as is Connor McDavid’s with the Oilers. And if Matthews doesn’t have a Stanley Cup after 12 seasons and McDavid doesn’t have one after 13, can’t you just see the two close friends, with the same agent, winding up on the same team in free agency? NBA-style super-team free agency … Gary Bettman can preach all he wants about the greatness of the Stanley Cup playoffs, but when two of the three best teams in the Western Conference will be eliminated in the first two rounds, the system seems patently unfair.- The legend, Harry Sinden, used to contend that the team that was the strongest over the final 20 games of the regular season will win the Stanley Cup.

Where the Montreal Canadiens rank heading into the playoffs -
The Montreal Canadiens secured their playoff spot relatively early this season after needing a win in the final game in 2024-25 to punch their ticket. They separated themselves from the wild-card pack during an eight-game winning streak, and were tied for top spot in the Atlantic Division as late as April 12. Despite going into the post-season playing on the road as a divisional third seed, the Canadiens ended up sixth overall in the league standings. Five of the top nine clubs were from the Atlantic, turning it into the most competitive division after the Central Division had been granted that title for much of the season. The 106 points tell a story of a team that took a significant step from a season ago when they finished with 91. We’ll dive deeper into their play to see where they rank in other areas as they prepare for their opening playoff game on Sunday. 7th Hits A team with two of its top three players being the 5
