In Montreal Canadiens history, February 19th was a significant day, marked by multiple events that have been etched in history, including one moment a 29-year-old Habs fan like myself would never forget.
In a tournament stacked with superstars like Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Sidney Crosby, it was Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki—a two-way center who was playing much of the tournament out of position as a winger—who delivered the moment that kept Canada’s gold-medal dreams alive.
The man who scored one of the biggest goals for Canada at these Winter Olympics hardly remembers what happened. When speaking to the media after practice on Thursday, forward Nick Suzuki was asked about his game-tying goal in Canada’s quarterfinal game against Czechia.

NHL teams will be able to start trading again on February 23 at 12:01 a.m. However, they will only have two weeks to do so, since after March 6 (the trade deadline), any player acquired via trade will not be eligible to play for their new team in the playoffs.
