Pacioretty apparently showed emotion and took out frustration when he decided to fight an undersized D.

AlsoBergevin didn’t make it easy. He aimed high and never wavered. It’s believed that, when Los Angeles inquired, Bergevin’s ask involved Tyler Toffoli, 2017 first-rounder Gabriel Vilardi and possibly more. The Kings quickly said no. Another belief: He asked Minnesota for Charlie Coyle-plus, also a no.
One of Pacioretty’s preferred destinations is Florida. GM Dale Tallon is close with Bergevin. I suspect the Canadiens targeted Vincent Trocheck. The Panthers weren’t doing that.
You get the idea. Montreal valued Pacioretty and refused to make a panic move at the buzzer.
What I think happened after was the captain had some time to breathe and think. He had his conversation with Bergevin. When you don’t get traded, and your team isn’t going to the playoffs, there is a choice: You can grit your teeth and push through, or you can say, “Whatever happens, I’m going to attack this with a great attitude.”
It sounds like Pacioretty is going for option B.
Wow. Montreal gave up 3 breakaways on their first power play against the Islanders. I say they decline any power play the rest of the game.

Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Juulsen looks pretty solid on the defensive side of the puck.
Niemi for the Hart?? Is this guy rejuvenated or what??

Remember when Logan Shaw was kept out of a game for trade reasons?

Looks like Lindgren is in goal tonight. That would mean Niemi tomorrow.
