MacInnis was definitely in Roy's head and that was the difference in the series. I don't think this team was stronger than the 86 team as Robinson had enormously regressed as had Gainey and Naslund had lost a step. Chelios stepped up to fill some of Robinson's duties and Richer was in the midst of a relatively poor season as he just didn't have his head in the game that season. Calgary finished the season just ahead of us for the President's trophy and had more firepower and a much better goal differential. They had two 50 goal scorers and two dmen almost at a ppg along with Mullen having 110 points compared to our leading scorer Naslund who had 84 points. Joel Otto was also an absolute beast as their 3rd line center and the best faceoff man in the game. It would be quite a stretch to claim that we had the better team.

I do agree with most of what you are saying and enjoy sharing these memories with fellow Hab fans who are old enough to have really watched those teams.

Both things can be true.

The 1989 Habs were at least as good as the 1986 and 1993 Habs.

But Calgary was also the slightly better team in 1989.

With all the hype focus on Demidov, Hutson, it's going to give Hage the chance to just do this thing without as much pressure from the fans as you can see it on this board alone or on twitter as he's barely talked about. Could be good for him to just to a little under the radar for now.

It will be great to see him play well in the NCAA as early as this year.

That three game sweep of the highly favoured Bruins was a forecaster of the team’s two Cup wins in 85/86 and 92/93. The Canadiens’ drafts in 1983 and 1984 which added Lemieux, Corson, Richer and Roy, transformed the team into a contender which it remained for the next decade.

Imagine trading every one of those players. Like holy shit!

Savard started strong and finished markedly less so.

Imagine trading every one of those players. Like holy shit!

Imagine trading them for worse players to save on salaries and making the team bad for 3 decades or more.

If he does great in the NCAA, the fandom will definitely notice (eg caufield, hutson)

He isn't talked about because he doesn't play for another month. Only NCAA players haven't played yet. He will be followed like Demidov the 1st game of the season.

I put out 7 or 8 vids over the summer of him looking impressive in the USHL and the vid barely got any views but the Demidov vids from last years playoffs that I put up did way more views.

I watched every single one. Thanks again.

Thanks! I was shocked the got so few views as there is certainly something there, kids impressive and those vids showed some good things from him.
