While Canada and Czechia were treating everyone to an OT thriller in their World Junior Hockey Championship game, the Montreal Canadiens provided anything but. Losing 4-1 to the New York Rangers, it was a very low-event game, where the loudest cheer from the Bell Centre faithful came when the result of the aforementioned U20 game was announced.
But there was one small piece of good news therein, as they actually took one of my lineup suggestions from the last game, and it worked.
Now, I must admit that the reasoning behind them promoting Juraj Slafkovsky in the lineup went much deeper than me asking for it — Brendan Gallagher being out certainly forced their hand.
