A good (or great) run for the Canadiens

[HabsCode]

Why did you create this thread? Now we lost.

Got an OT point against a red hot team who went WCF the last two season on a back to back is still quite good. And we got them to shootout.

What has flipped the switch after them being dong water?

Is Laine carrying them? Does Hutsom need Norris votes?

Are they better/more talented than the Sabres or Senators?

The Carrier acquisition has been the biggest boost tbh as it has solidified the defensive pairings.

It has enabled Guhle to play on his natural side at LD, and they both form the Habs shutdown line, being deployed almost exclusively in defensive situation allowing MSL to use the Hutson-Matheson pair in more advantageous situations, especially offensively.

Laine coming back and having a massive impact on the PP with his goalscoring has also been great, but he's been injured for the past few games and the team still kept winning.

Means it doesn't count against Laine's record setting win streak since the game went to overtime.

Am I doing it right?

As an habs fan i don't see the point of this thread on the main board. Do it when the team win 8-10 games in a row

 

[Bender Duster]

We have a Hutson

Is it burgeoning?

It was just a matter of time before one our crazy fan got too excited and started a jynx thread . There you go I hope you're happy.

Jokes aside, we've all been quite surprised the last month or so.

Yup! You are correct! To be able to compare current NHL players' win streaks to the older win streaks, the shootout is not counted. I.e. a tie after overtime is a tie, i.e. does not count for or against the win streak.

Considering that overtime was added to the NHL in 1921, a win or a loss in OT will count in the win streaks.

Laine's win streak thus currently remains at 6.

He wasn't injured, he had the flu. Important difference before other fans jump on that.

Didn't bother, apologies for butchering my masculine feminine. And I'm pretty sure we share the same shores. Although Montreal is pretty inland.

Montreal is an island.

I feel like Laine coming back and having that PP goal streak maybe brought some much needed energy to the locker room. But on ice he hasn't really been a difference maker so far. This team could take off if Laine gets back to his point production from Columbus (on even strength). So far it's pretty much been all PP production.
