Prospects may be more exciting this year than any other year

Is your name SwiftyHab because you drive for Swift, or just unrelated ?

 

[blueberry]

Do we have any kind of list of prospect names of guys coming. It would be interesting to see who is coming. There always seems to be a couple of "surprising guys". It's a tough time of year and I'm overly excited.

Unrelated. Swifty was a pimp I used to know who got shot in the 90s.

Can I assume your nickname comes from…maybe hosting marvelous gay orgies? I’ve always wanted to know what the catering situation is at those things. Does someone walk around handing out pigs in a blanket? Cocktail wieners? Pogos?

July was bad enough but frickin' August crawled and seemed to get longer once we landed Laine.
Prospect Camp is going to be sweet.

 

[vokiel]

Do we get Michkov straight pre-season game 1?

I bet he eats the boards!

 

[Scintillating10]

More anxious this season than most. Dach back and impression Hutson made at end of last season. Adding Laine to already young fast team.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

October hockey, Habs best month of the season <3

Lots of Cock-tales at these gatherings

Damn I saw this and immediately went over to bookmark the SKA schedule.
The season starts there for me...

 

[ReHabs]

I haven't been this eager for a hockey season in a very long time. Possibly since 2015.

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Wake me up, when september end

I've really enjoyed the feeling of knowing we're going into this season with a trial for Laine on the menu.

I'm not sure if August has felt longer, but it sure has felt better, for me at least. I'm super pumped for another year of progression of last year's youth and Matheson, plus new additions Dach, Hutson, and Laine, plus Engstrom, Reinbacher, Kapanen, and a little excitement for Beck and Mesar. I'm even interested to see if Armia and Dvo can stay healthy and produce as they have in their best moments as Habs for a full season, and then get us 2nds or better at the TDL.

Should we add that in?

So many great storylines of potential that could be filled. And if everybody hits this year, it could get crazy

Yes, but I use the Simpsons character so people don't know, so thanks a lot

I hear ya bud!

As much as I'm excited for the upcoming season, (Laine, Dach, Hutson etc..) I wish it was next year already!

Demidov can't get here quick enough.

Am I the only one who’s fed up to always start the season against Toronto and Ottawa? Just give me a random team instead of always being them.

We always have a gazillion pre-season games against them and our first few games of the season are against them also.

[Habs]

not to be a Debbie Downer, but we will start strong in Oct , the PP is amazing, then in late nov we come back down to earth with our goaltending and porous blueline. By Dec we are talking about who we draft in the top 5 and with the Florida/Calgary pick.

Will be an exciting year regardless, you will all owe me an apology when Anderson puts in 20 goals!
