Compete Level

They do need to win basically all games in regulation, tho, otherwise they'll probably need more points than the Habs vs winning the tie-breaker. Feels unlikely but possible! MTL is riding some luck and that could turn.

I regret to inform you, however, that Montreal's next game after that is against the SNES which is apparently a guaranteed W for them this year.

Chaz Lucius, a first-round pick by the Winnipeg Jets in 2021, retired from professional hockey Tuesday after being diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Lucius, 21, never played in the NHL but scored seven goals and 27 points in 54 AHL games for the Manitoba Moose, the Jets’ top minor-league affiliate.

“Recently, I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), which is a hereditary disorder that affects the connective tissue that stabilizes and supports the joints and organs throughout the body,” Lucius said in a statement on social media via his agency, Newport Sports.

I treat patients with EDS and the severe cases like his really suck. There's really no way he could play with this disease. These folks dislocate their joints and tear cartilage doing the most mundane things like reaching to turn off their alarm clocks or rolling over in bed.

I have sincere doubts that the Wings will win tomorrow. Gordie has Puppy Preschool so I probably won’t turn it on until 7:45. My guess is either that it’s 3-0 Habs at that point, or the Wings have a small lead that they will cough up in painful fashion.

If the Wings tie them in points but lose out on the tiebreaker (again) I may go into hiding.
