Jake Evans has already had at least 3 concussions prior to that attack by Scheifele including an awful hit in a Habs-Senators rookie game two years ago and last summer following a hit by Brandon Taney. Hoping for the best. He’s looked so good next to Danault & Gallagher.

Anybody who thinks a player like Chiarot isn’t valuable to a small, skilled team with an elite goalie who needs to be better protected, probably needs to get out a bit more. Summer’s here. Get some air. Hit the lake. You can thank me later.

Deal with what Brian? It’s an embarrassment for a supposedly major sport to have a continued level of incompetence this deep into the playoffs. Thing is now more people see it while those with puckered lips want to pretend it doesn’t exist. That’s not the way to get better.

As a Leafs fan, I have to hand it to the Montreal Canadiens on their incredible season. They won 37 games and lost 41. They were outscored at even strength by 13 goals. Just an amazing year their fans should remember forever.

I read before the series that the “juggernaut” Flyers would “smoke” the Canadiens. Habs deserve a lot of credit for the way they competed. My prediction was Flyers in 6. But that was a winnable series for Montreal. Too many wingers didn’t/couldn’t bring it.
