The Leafs sure are finding a way to make it interesting after those first couple of games. Have they actually solved Boston's top line or have the Bruins slacked off?
On another note, the hockey season in Russia is over. The KHL's Gagarin Cup has been won this year by Ak Bars Kazan, in a somewhat surprise victory over CSKA Moscow (the former Soviet-era Central Red Army club), taking the series 4-1. (Surprising because 8 of the CSKA players were on Russia's Olympic gold-winning squad.)
This means that former Hab Andrei Markov finally has a championship (although not the one I'm sure he really wanted).
I wonder if they'll let him take the Gagarin Cup to Montreal, just so he can shove it in Marc Bergevin's face? (Some Habs fans [like yours truly] want Nashville to win the Cup, just so P.K. can bring it to Montreal and shove THAT trophy in Bergy's mug--after he shares it with the kids at the hospital first, of course.)
Yeah...both Markov and P.K. taking it to Bergy in the same year...that would be sweet.
cheers,
Gabe
EDIT: I should have mentioned that Markov signed a 2-year deal with Kazan after Bergevin left him twisting in the wind following the 2016-2017 season and no other NHL team wanted him. He was 4 games short of 1000 with the Habs. Now it seems as though he'll finish his pro career in the KHL.
