Of course, but hum.. We are bored otherwise!

I demand free hot dogs for the right to overreact! 🤣
I love the hyperbole, recency effect panicking, small sample size extrapolations, calls to fire whoever, non sequiturs, general craziness — it’s entertainment, live and let live. If I’m looking for something more serious, there are other options.

Some of you guys need to chill.

The 2nd guessing on MLS decisions is downright a bipolar reaction, calling him Martin Rotenberg is absolutely unreasonable. Classic HF board overreaction, glad to see that most are still grounded. As for the rest, go for a walk, get some fresh air… i’m sure you’ll be over the moon when we clinch. Enjoy your Sunday boys.
Agreed that the Rotenberg hyperbole is over the top, but I also think it's fair to be concerned that this team has had multiple chances to clinch and has come out flat literally every game in recent memory.

If the Jets have all the trouble in the world to beat them, I doubt it'll be easy for us.

Chicago plays a lot better at home (15-20-6) than on the road (8-26-5). Since the break they are 2-9-1 on the road. If Columbus wins tonight they’re is no reason Montreal shouldn’t start out flying tomorrow night (and I know they haven’t lately).

No NHL game is easy.

On any given night any team can win.

But certainly, if we had to pick a team to be playing at home with a "win & were in scenario", odds favor playing a bottom 5 team like Chicago.

He's obviously going to play. Him not playing yesterday has nothing to do with having a clinched playoff spot or not.
I heard that he could play the two next games and then will be eligible to play a remaining 7 if we make the playoffs without burning an entry level contract year.

Yeah, that was probably a consideration, making sure his ELC could slide even if the first round goes to game 7. If Montreal manages to get to the second round that's far more important than any contract worry.

Demidov’s contract is ineligible to slide, this season counts towards his first year.

Would that be because he's signed his contract during 2025 and will be turning 20 in December?
 
When Demidov wins the Conn Smythe Trophy, how bad will it hurt our cap space next season?
 
Demidov likely to play but the Habs haven’t made it official.

Meantime, this morning … 👀


It still hard for me to grasp how he can spin so fast and still be in perfect control. It's almost as if he teleports from having his back to the camera to his front or like there's some missing frames in this clip. Crazy.
