Strung Out and Less Than Jake

Nice! Hope it was a good show. I grew up (well got older, I'm still immature) in the 80s Montreal punk and HC scene. Still go to shows regularly including Punk Rock Bowling in May. Good friend runs Greenland.ca

Yup, the one and only. Dan left Greenland i think. And we might, I know mostly older punks but they're still pretty active

“That’s a bust number”, - @Habs

That's the binary expression of 10 millions in decimal : he's wearing his future salary.

 

[tazsub3]

Remember when some in the arena were booing Slaf after he was drafted, they were pissed because they wanted Wright and his so far 1 NHL goal….….fun times

Oh he got one ? Damn must have missed that well that with I will show them attitude , I wonder how many he would have had if we not insult and motivate him

 

[Habs10Habs]

Most players have to exaggerate their first goal. That won't be the case with Reinbacher. That was an awesome goal.

Same show! What the f*** about the waiting line in the street?!

 

[Rob Sense]

I missed his first game. From the comments...does this mean he is not a bust like was being predicted...oh...Wednesday?

That’s correct ….. unless he doesn’t take home Rookie of the Year AND Norris Trophy next season, after demonstrating prime Bobby Orr dominance at Habs training camp…

 

[Jaynki]

Its gonna take even less time then with Slaf for the crow to be served

 

[Goalfield13]

Honey - get the crow out of the freezer and start thawing it out.

I thought we still had plenty warm from the Slaf thread. Peeps should have ketchup on standby at this point.

 

[BLONG7]

Nice first game for the kid...................watched some of the game, what an awful feed................
Orville did not look out of place, and that goal, wow.

No I don't and I was there.
The resounding applause was all I could hear.
It was heartfelt and it was warming it was loud. It followed Slaf everywhere he went in the Bell Center all draft long.
If people were booing I sure didn't hear it.

N.B. I wanted Wright and I was cheering louder than most. Plus I have a wicked Shrill whistle.

It wasn’t a Michigan… BUST!

I was at the game Slaf broke his cherry in.
It was a beauty as well. None of those deflection off our asses or the stanchions for our young pups.

As avid as Hab fans can be I would find it surprising if they booed an 18 year old who just got drafted.

 

[Redux91]

The whole thing is just so cool and im honestly thrilled its working out this way for him

Imagine a couple of weeks ago whats on your mind is "i cant believe i gotta wait around for weeks just to SEE if i have to play a meaningless 7 game series with this GARBAGE team JUST to keep THEM from getting relegated which they probably deserve anyway for being so bad"

to its 2 weeks later, youve ditched the team forever, you joined the absolute 'closest' possible league that can get you to the NHL, the team that drafted you's farm team in the AHL, who are in an actual honest to god playoff spot hunt where even the regular season games now have the playoffs feel to it and every game matters

and he goes and joins the team, playing his 1st game, actually f***ing scores the game tying goal in highlight fashion in the 3rd period to help give Mailloux a chance to win in OT to help the whole team get closer to their actual goal, which is making the playoffs....and not 'getting relegated to a worse league'..

Again, could not be happier for this freaking kid, who if 'he' pans out, makes our entire NHL rebuild look even better for the future

One thing i cannot get over with him and it obviously skews the non-plugged in fan, the guy is just surrounded by 'relegation'

Cant play WJC this year, why? he sucks? nope, team stinks so bad it got relegated
Cant shine in his D+1 year, why? he sucks? nope, team stinks so bad it almost got relegated...

like its not fair for him in a sense lol, just surrounded by 'trash' the last 3 years
I think its 0 surprise he will shine at the AHL level and in turn, at the NHL level with better talent around him and once his bearings are set

Honey - get the crow out of the freezer and start thawing it out.

The thing that bothers me most with fans is that they have ‘their guy’ and then dump all over the player we go with if it wasn’t who they wanted. Like… seriously man, give the player a chance. We saw that with Slaf and we’re seeing it with this guy.

I hate to keep repeating this but it’s a marathon, not a sprint. We should be welcoming this guy, not crapping all over him. If he doesn’t live up to where we got him… okay, but we won’t know that for years. In the meantime, just give him the time to develop.

I’ll fully admit, I wanted Michkov. Wanted Wright too… but that’s not who we got. Look at how Slaf is doing now. No reason RB can’t be successful as well. Had a rough year but was on a terrible club. Let’s see what he can do now.

I’m glad he’s finally in the AHL too. Hopefully they give him a full year there and he joins with Hutson in 25-26.

They did, but was when he entered the arena on red carpet…..wasn’t like booing Chara but it did happen.

It's similar for me as well
Where as I've never been of the mind 'no, you're wrong, my guy is better than your guy'
It was always about 'wow, guys, can we give the kids more than , forget 80+ NHL games, can we give them more time than calling them busts while they're still teenagers...?'
I just can never get over that for real
And I say that as a self admitted Cooley/Leonard man to boot

 

[Rapala]

Some f***ing idiot in the media bringing up something that was NEVER EVEN apparent.
What a piss poor full of shit slant. Of course there were some who were booing but it was totally drowned out.
There would be some booing no matter who we decided to pick.
Anyone who was there can confirm this.
