Okay so we have to go back to beating up on these smurfs (lmao) Lucic is allegedly a scumbag (shocker) so he's out as well. X missing sucks, but Guhle and Kovy need to lay the body. The team is hungry to get another win and they know they can beat boston.

Hoping for Caufield to get some good puckluck tonight

Voted 2002 because there was no commentary, just the ice and the crowd :yo:
I think there was some for the first few games, no?

2002 was super sweet, but 2004 for me, coming back from down 3-1, Kovalev becoming a hero after looking like a goof, Theodore on game 7 day, "I just knew all day they weren't going to score on me tonight". Still gives me good old fashioned sports nerd goosebumps.

The poll is a good one btw. I voted 2014 because the stakes were the highest. Loved that series. 2011 was a tragedy. Price was way better than TT, who IMO was a good goalie but a huge product of a system that allowed his flawed aggressive style to work.

I nearly voted for 2002 or 2004 because those were the best underdog wins against the Bs. Zednik got justice :)

So uhhhh no Lucic tonight? Yikes!

I originally voted 1979 cuz it was the oldest one I saw but then changed it to 2002 cuz of the lack of sideshow drivel.

Can't watch (I know), will be at a birthday dinner in Laval (I know I know). Go Habs!

So will tonight be the night one of the three Habs players with negative "goal above expected" will score?

One of them is not Caufield.
One of them is Anderson.
One of them is RHP and I don't think he plays tonight.

How do you choose?

2002 featured the biggest upset in my lifetime. Mclaren claiming innocence in his wwe clothesline on zednik. Zednik left the series, but the Bruins never won again. It was koivu coming back from cancer and scoring a beautiful go ahead goal in a game where the Habs were down 3-1 in the 3rd period. It was Gilmour turning back the clock.

2004 was another upset but not as big as 2002. Theodore shut out the Bruins in game 7 and ended up with more points than Joe Thornton. This was kovalev S's arrival to habs fans hearts after a slow start to the series. The Bruins had loaded up this year at the deadline and landed gonchar. The habs ousted them in the first round.

2008 felt a bit different because the Habs were the favourites this time around and were the #1 seed in the conference. They also mopped the Bruins in the regular season with an 8-0 record head to head. The series however went the distance and the habs won the deciding game by a score of 5-0 if I remember correctly. Streit scored a beauty in this one.

In 2014, the Habs upset the Bruins again, but this was probably a lesser upset than 2002 and 2004. The series had the typical hatred and physicality that you would expect from a bruins/habs series. I thought the Habs had something special that year and were probably headed to the finals prior to the price injury. The lucic/weise back and forth was pretty memorable, and subban was under their skin too.

Honorable mention to 2011. That looked like another huge upset with the Habs taking the Bruins to game 7 ot without Markov or Pacioretty all series.

I think I voted for 2008, but the more I think about it, 2002 had to have been the most emotional one.

Voted ‘02. Still remember Theodore save on Bill Guerin.

We had no business winning that series but we had the return of Saku and a red-hot Theo.

**ck Lucic. I'll say the one where Weise owned his ass.

Got the cops called on him twice already for domestic violence, and yet somehow some fans still defend him.

Regulation wins after 17 games: 2. We are dead last
For references, under Ducharme in 2021-2022 we had 4 regulation wins after 17 games but also half the points we have this season so far.

This is such a strange record.
