Montreal Canadiens Links

  • It's no secret P.K. Subban is one of the top defenceman in the NHL, but it's growing increasingly evident that he’s a hell of a guy off the ice as well. The Norris Trophy nominee made the day of a few young fans, joining a group of kids and their parents for a little game of street hockey in Westmont. [The Score]
  • The guys at Habs Breakfast discuss the team's remaining needs after the signing of Jeff Petry. [Montreal 690]
  • Due to cap issues, the Boston Bruins won't resign Carl Soderberg. As our very own Andrew Berkshire writes, he could be a solid upgrade for the Canadiens. [EOTP]
  • Lastly, the St. John's IceCaps have signed Josiah Didier to a one-year deal. [TVA]

Around the League and Elsewhere

  • The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals thanks to a late goal by Cedric Paquette. With the win, the Bolts take a 2-1 series lead. [YouTube]
  • The That's Hockey 2Nite panel discuss the Lightning's massive victory on the road. [TSN]
  • There has been a lot of talk about the availability of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel. Elliot Friedman joined the Hockey Central at Noon crew to speculate if the Calgary Flames could be a good fit for the star sniper. [Sportsnet]
  • Connor McDavid attended his first ever Stanley Cup game last night, saying "It's a dream come true". He also discussed the whirlwind of the past few weeks, and his general expectations. [TSN]
  • McDavid's new arch rival attended the game last night as well. Jack Eichel was very happy with his performance at the NHL combine. [TSN]
  • The aforementioned duo were joined by other top prospects Dylan Strome, Noah Hanifin, Mitch Marner and Lawson Crouse on Coach's Corner during the first intermission. [Sportsnet]
