The CN Tower’s verified account announced on Twitter that it will be lit red, blue and white on Tuesday night to honour the Habs — yes, Toronto’s Original Six rivals from Montreal — who “represent Canada’s hope” for a Stanley Cup.

Yep, the Habs are Canada's team for the next round. LOL to the Leafs.

That's what people thought would happen to the Habs against their playoff opponents. Superhumans Dryden 1971 and Roy 1986 did rescue them. It wouldn't surprise me if Price does the same thing.

If the Calgary tower got lit up with Oilers colours I'm very sure I would have a meltdown of monumental proportions.I would drink the cheapest malt liquor out of a 35 year old plastic cup. I would make sure that I puked on Marc Spectors lawn after I turned down his ugly wife all while wearing Justin Schultz Pens jersey..

And I'm not saying that to bash the Habs, those other teams are just very very good with a lot of highly skilled players.
I'm not saying the Habs have zero chance of winning the next series, obviously if Price is on his game and the team plays as well as it can anything can happen, but I would admittedly be stunned if they can pull it off.

We also haven't seen any of these teams play each other yet so how can we know for sure? As the old saying goes, that's why they play the games.

The Jets should get rid of Scheifele.

There's no such thing as Canada's team in my book. Just another loathed away team.

Not meaning to sound flippant but pretty much the only way I would not have issue with the Calgary Tower lighting up for the Oilers would be a Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash type incident which hopefully never happens.
CN Tower changing colours for the Canadiens after Toronto being up 3-1 is just some nice icing on the cake for the schadenfreude that has become this year's playoffs for me.

I would throw up if Calgary did it for the Oilers so I’m tickled that they did it in Toronto.

This is the new "Zamboni driver" Leaf fans won't hear the end of it. Every time they lose "light up the CN tower"

The fact Scheifele never owned up to what he did, and that comment, make me think he at the very least exaggerated the harassment against his family to try and gain some sympathy. It was pretty standard press manipulation - accept the punishment but deny wrongdoing, while relying on your own “you all know I’m not that kind of guy” statement (pretty much daring the press to say “no, actually you are”) and then ending with the harassment story to move the focus away.
