New playoff avatar theme: Mad Max themed

 

[Deebs]

The Captain stepping up his intensity...

 

[donghabs98]

Habs are playing a great game against a non playoff team, Pleks has scored and Max is roughing things up?

Are we in the twilight zone?

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Patches fighting, Wtf??

A midget grabbed his stick in his armpit and flopped, drawing a penalty, then beaked about it. What it looked like to me, anyway.

 

[Krnage]

ahahah demer dive

 

[Chez Weber]

Nice dive Marchessault

 

[the]

Lol Man Mountain!

 

[Belial]

Captain showing some emotion!!! Great stuff!

 

[Habby Gilmore]

Weber might get a game for that one, that was a baseball hack. He also hit his head on the glass pretty good, I'd be pisssed too.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Refs trying to help them get back in the game, I guess.

 

[Ursus the White]

 

[habergeon]

Now Weber's losing his ****, I love it.

 

[donghabs98]

Now Shea is losing his cool

 

[No More Subban]

I actually have one.

I'm not going to lie I have over 20 player shirts dating back to 2008

Thats a lot!

I only have Price, Subban, Galchenyuk, Huet, 2 Kovalevs, Tanguay, Cammalleri and Komisarek...lol

 

[Hab-a-maniac]

I get that they don't want to let the Panthers take liberties with them, but why do this? Sure you're up 3-0 but are the Habs trying to make this game close? Gotta be more disciplined than this or you'll get burned. Poor Carey. Even with a 3-goal lead he can't get comfy

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Have they found the sniper yet?

 

[Phenom]

Habs don't poke the panthers

 

[Le Tricolore]

that dive, omg

 

[Mrb1p]

Same. Got nothing to do with ethnicity and all that **** Montreal media focuses on either. Like Koivu, a nice ceremony and maybe inclusion in some wall of fame would be nice. But this team reserves those banners for the true greatest of the greats, ones who either were dominant at their position and won awards or ones who had many Cups. Some I bet will argue against Price if he never wins a Cup here even if he puts up Brodeur-like resume and stays a Hab until age 40.

But unlike Marky, he could claim to be the best or among the top 5 at his position for a sustained period. So Carey is the only Hab who has a shot at seeing his # hung one day. Subban was in that conversation too (like Chelios once) but then boom, that dissipated! Markov has been this franchise's silent MVP for a good decade and a half and the man who's held down the defence when healthy. Through thick and thin. But never a year-end All-star, never a Norris finalist, only top 10 in Norris voting maybe a couple times even.

If we're gonna argue about Habs deserving of it then what about Jacques Lemaire? Steve Shutt? Mats Naslund? If you just wanna talk D-men deserving of that honour, then J.C. Tremblay, Jacques Laperriere or Jean-Guy Talbot have just as good an argument as Markov IMO. Many born after the dynasty years would be upset if Markov isn't honoured like that, but they gotta do their homework for this franchise's rich history. Markov would get a jersey retirement for any non-Original 7 team maybe though.

Guys like Shutt, Savard, Bouchard and Cournoyer got their numbers retired and never won anything but Cups and shared Smythes in a 6 team league where the Habs always had the better team.

You cant fault Markov and Koivu for playing in a tougher league under the worst management ever. More so on Markovs side, he was elite for long. Getting Norris votes at 34 35 36 and most probably this year... 2nd all time in points.... 1000 games... Theres no way, no way they dont retire it.

 

[Belial]

Diving POS!!!

 

[dkd]

Dive after diver after dive
****ing *******

 

[le_sean]

Nice team of embellishers. What a joke franchise.

 

[Uncle Gary]

Love how this team doesn't take ****

 

[David Suzuki]

elbow to Weber's head and a dive on the slash

 

[habergeon]

If Petry goes with someone, you have the trifecta
