Bottom Six Minutes: Alex Newhook’s astounding playoffs -
Following the disappointing night that was game six at the Bell Centre, the Montreal Canadiens had one more chance in game seven against the Buffalo Sabres. Everything seemed to be going according to plan after one period, with them playing well, and opening up a two-goal lead going into the second. But the second and third periods were dominated by Buffalo, the worst lead in hockey was eventually erased, and the Habs essentially held on to get to overtime. Then, it happened. For the second time in as many game sevens, Alex Newhook stepped up to be the hero that Montreal needed.

Hockey Talk In The Middle Of May -
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,- There is something wrong with this: The Vegas Golden Knights fired Bruce Cassidy as coach. Then they denied Edmonton — and possibly other teams — permission to talk to him. That process is unfair. If I fire you as coach, I shouldn’t be able to control who you talk to or which team you work for after that. The NHL Coaches Association needs to get this changed.- I don’t believe for a second that Vegas will lose a second-round pick because coach John Tortorella didn’t do his post-game interviews the other night and the Vegas dressing room was closed to the media. I believe the NHL will announce around draft time that Vegas will get its pick back. This is mostly Gary Bettman tough-guy theatre for now.more
