Then you remember that Gally will still be on this team for 5 more years?

My toaster is right next to the bathtub.

 

[durojean]

I can’t Dvorak anymore… he is awful
Can’t believe we traded a 1st for that

 

[Rapala]

well, we didn't lose that period, so that's a start. maybe we win the third period and score a goal.

We need more than a 7 SOG per period average to score in this league.

But but but Bergevin always won his trades

 

[Riddick412]

There's no freaking way the Habs catch the last 3 teams in the standings, so that puts them at best (currently) at 7.5% chance of getting first.

We're dealing with this garbage for a 7.5% chance. Why? I would not gamble future fans for those odds.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Better not get shutout by Martin f***ing Jones at least.

Though, I don't want 1 goal to break his confidence

Very true but sadly enough KK for Dvorak (essentially what happened) is pretty fair

Wasn't it a 1st and a 2nd?

 

[Tyson]

Seattle has 37 shots after 2.

19, 18 and 17 in the third?

 

[SlafySZN]

At beginning, Seattle maybe doesnt had the perfect expansion draft, but at least, all their players value their contract. Doesnt have a single anchor on their team is a strenght itself.

Yes, i felt at the time i was the only one who liked how they proceeded in the expansion draft. It’s like they build their foundation with ‘’support’’ players and through drafting high twice. All they miss is maybe an elite D and few pieces.

 

[McGees]

I'd say it would've been a great idea if everyone in this thread would've taken 37 shots before watching this game as well to make it a bit entertaining.

It's a lottery so they have 12.5% currently if you combine both picks

It was a 1st and a 2nd (2024) but who's counting...

 

[zx81]

Just saw that the French (from France) title of the Slap Shot movie is "La castagne"
LOL

It's exciting. Every loss feels like a win right now, and when the habs have a decent game, well it's a pleasant surprise to see them score a couple goals.

With no Quebecois players to praise, RDS will soon have to praise Bruno, the veteran zamboni driver, or Yannick the "biere froide, cold beer!" dude.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

4 more.

4-and-a-half if you include the rest of this season.

 

[rickthegoon]

We are going to score lots of goals and play uptempo entertaining hockey---- Kent Hughes.

It was a fun first 25 games. Now I'm starting to believe we're going to have a genuine run at Chicago and Columbus.

 

[sheed36]

There's 3 games currently being played in the NHL and all 3 home teams haven't scored tonight in these games.

 

[Habs13]

March 3rd guys. March 3rd. Hopefully we will ship some of these f***ers out by then.

 

[sampollock]

Krack are all in

 

[The Real Timo]

These guys are idiots.

 

[PhysicX]

4 more.

4-and-a-half if you include the rest of this season.

It's okay. He's barely visible. Haven't heard his name today.

A lot of people are expecting Roy to make the team next year, and maybe trade for PLD.

Plus, we still have Savard & Montembeault.

That last contract year at 4M really sucks for buyout purpose. If not for it, buyout could even be an option this summer.

2023-24	$8,000,000	$6,500,000	$0	$2,291,667	$2,291,667	$5,708,333	$791,667
2024-25	$9,000,000	$6,500,000	$0	$2,291,667	$2,291,667	$6,708,333	-$208,333
2025-26	$6,500,000	$6,500,000	$0	$2,291,667	$2,291,667	$4,208,333	$2,291,667
2026-27	$4,000,000	$6,500,000	$0	$2,291,667	$2,291,667	$1,708,333	$4,791,667
2027-28	$0	$0	$0	$2,291,667	$2,291,667	-$2,291,667	$2,291,667
2028-29	$0	$0	$0	$2,291,667	$2,291,667	-$2,291,667	$2,291,667

2030-31	$0	$0	$0	$2,291,667	$2,291,667	-$2,291,667	$2,291,667

Of course, the more you wait, the better it gets. Buyout in 2026 would be:

2026-27	$4,000,000	$6,500,000	$0	$1,333,334	$1,333,334	$2,666,666	$3,833,334
