Post-Game Talk: Division Champs boys

[Rob Brown]

Lockdown will probably end before the playoffs begin. The restaurants are already getting their outdoor patios ready, maybe there is a chance for limited numbers of fans to attend.

I don't think they are going to end on May 20, right before the long weekend. Probably looking at a 1-2 week extension IMO.

This team feels inevitable now. You can bury us 2 goals in but we will dig our way out. We can play with a lead or without a lead. Pick how you want to lose

 

[egd27]

I don't want him in our division. I hate passing trap teams so boring. Also price on a competent trap team gives me Brodeur devil's vibes and I don't want that for the habs

Don't think he's bilingual.

 

[Chief Berube]

Heard Torts will be available

The habs historically only hire French speaking coaches. It’s slim pickings out there

And Jacques Demers was illiterate and still got the job.

 

[The Podium]

It still unbelievable that the Habs fired Julien

Excellent point. I totally forgot they have that clause. Thank the fishes

 

[Atomos2]

Random thought but I could see Mike Babcock coaching the Habs next year.

Heard Torts will be available

Meh, they don't speak French though.

 

[Cecithepylon]

Hutton need to stay in the lineup in lieu of Dermott. We a need a big physical presence on D for the playoffs.

A lot of people need to be in over dermott.Hutton,sandin and lili are all good choices

As a non resident of Ontario I certainly hope so

We will possibly finish 4 th overall. Not to shabby mates

Winning the division seemed like the goal when the season started. It didn’t fizz me winning it. Expectations are higher after seeing how good the team is.

First time the Leafs have won the Division in 21 years.

Maple Leafs secure first division title since 2000

Obviously we cannot look past first and second round matchups, and I'm sure if we do get to both rounds, we will get the best version of whatever team that is and need to be good, but after 54 games within this division, I am confident we can take anyone and the expectation, for me, is final 4.

I remember one year the Habs hired an american coach as an interim and habs fans were furious lol. Can't remember his name but it was fairly recent. So ridiculous.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

Don't know which is better, locking up the division or watching silly Scab fans post they have deeper talent then us and are going to win the playoff series. It really is quite remarkable how delusional some of them are.

It depends on how this core battles in tighter checking playoffs. The defense is better and keeps the confidence tight in all situations is my guess.

I would like to see a nice tidy and efficient playoff first round. That will be a good indicator of how they will play. We don’t take many penalties and are a good 5v5 scoring team. Makes for a simple playoff plan of work hard and remain disciplined.

edit: would have gave your post a like but I’m fresh out of like buttons

Really eh. Par for the course because they think denial is a river in Egypt

Price is cooked. The Habs are already a decent defensive team and he can barely tread water now.

We do this every year but we lost to Columbus. Let’s be humble this year at least until after 4 wins in the P lol. Let’s hope Campbell can come through though he seems mentally very strong but you never know until you know

He still makes me nervous but I'm pressing your right

I would say the opposite to be honest. Gets down on himself way too much for nothing goals in nothing games.

Just dont see it. Line matchups top to bottom we crush them. Now playoffs are always a different beast but come on.

Interesting yea I see that angle too. But it can also be a healthy desire to improve and be the best. I guess it comes down to how he channels that energy. As long as he’s not getting too nervous after.

Ya goalies are just weird. I sometimes worry too about Campbells mental state but then I just remind myself that goalies are weird, and I shouldn't pay much attention to what they say.

LOL @ Engvail's neck. Only laughing because you didn't even exaggerate it. It's drawn to scale.
