Got that right. It was just up and down the ice all night. 

On the other hand, Montreal scored 2 and won off of 2 extremely lucky bounces.... and a grand total of 9 SOG.

Avalanche vs Wild game was crazy.

Ridley Grieg was handed a 2-game suspension for his sucker punch on Sean Walker during the Ottawa series.

First 2 regular season games for the 2026-2027 schedule.

Maple Leafs win the lottery…..these fugers are so predictable….8.5% chance lol

We need the refs doing the Avs Wild game they’re letting everything go but blatant trips etc. A major brawl with punches thrown, a ref was punched in the face accidentally, a sucker punch at the end - no calls lol.

Nikishin cleared to play, should be back for game 3.

I'd rather not... That's how plays like Greig happen - refs lose control of the game and then blatant dirty poo starts happening.

Knew it was gonna be the Leafs after reports earlier were saying Matthews likely doesn't want to play for Toronto next year.

Thank god the NFL doesn't have a stupid lottery

He was cleared before game 2. RBA opted to give him more rest after Reilly had a good game 1 (2 pts).
