handshake brawl plz

They were shaking FloJak's hand pretty quickly

 

[Rapala]

The real playoffs start now.

 

[Runner77]

@ArtPeur would be proud.

He would but since we're celebrating, might as well get the other guy's gif in here.

I'm still dreaming of getting a bidet some day. But I'm not buying it from Ma-ma-ma Mike Charognard!

 

[dinodebino]

I can't believe the best team in the league starts on the road. Why not 2 at home, 3 on the road, last two at home?

Because they asked for it.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Congrats kids, great game!

Rochester next, probably the most talented team in the AHL, but we outplayed them this year so Im expecting a close serie. The winner of that serie likely win the Calder cup. Is it a best of 5 or best of 7?

Best of 5 again.

 

[overlords]

friendly reminder that the habs edged the blue jackets for playoff contention and then laval knocked their farm team out of the post-season with a rookie goalie.

Great way to save travel costs

 

[ArtPeur]

They did it, they did it! What a team!

What I have been missing

 

[Kennerback]

Has it become Fowler's net?

In the playoffs, winner gets the net. And you keep winning, and lose only one, you probably get the net again. As my old man told me when I was young: "It's a jungle out there."

 

[Rapala]

Best of 5 again.

That is a scary proposition if you can't manage a split.

And were offersheeting Voronkov this summer.

 

[zzoo]

Barré-Boulet + Dauphin > Beck + Roy.
I wish it's the other way around.

 

[Karma Police]

Jacob motherf***ing Fowler

 

[Adam Michaels]

probably still better than getting goalie'd nonstop

They'll probably be goalie'd at some point. Devon Levi had a great 1st round against Syracuse, posting shutouts in Game 2 and 3.

 

[Runner77]

Interesting post-game comments. So like the Habs, the Rocket are loaded in the youth department (they're one of the youngest teams in the league). Twelve players on the team, going through their first playoff experience.

Round 1 and 2 are Best-of-5.

Conference Final and Final are Best-of-7.

If I'm Primeau I'd f***ing hate my life right now

Fowler is never letting that net go.

Who cares about Cayden Primeau.

Like I said, AHL is supposed to be a developmental league.
Your best prospects should be getting all the primary minutes to develop their skills and get that experience needed for the NHL...

Fowler has a future with the Habs, not Primeau so he sits as long as it takes no questions asked... as it should be.

It should be the same for Reinbacher, Mailloux, Kapanen, Xhekaj and Beck... but Vincent is prioritizing Barre-Boulet, Dauphin, Simonneau, Condotta, Roy, Farrell, Trudeau, Lindstrom, etc. ... I don't like what I'm seeing...

It's like Pascal Vincent is prioritizing his own AHL record and will try to win it with the AHL Veterans so that he has a better chance to get a call from an NHL team...

He probably doesn't care if Reinbacher, Kapanen, Xhekaj and Beck aren't playing that much... he won't return with the Rockets if they win the AHL Cup and that's the only thing that matter to him at this point.

I guess that's the downside of hiring a veteran Coach for your AHL team that prioritize winning instead of developing your bluechip prospects.

Didn’t Laval own him this season?

[Kennerback]

I watched Price with the Bulldogs during his Calder Cup run in the infancy of internet broadcasts and Fowler gives me that same vibe as Price where he's so smooth and makes it looks so easy.

Yeah I've probably lost the plot.

Who was that broadcaster? Derek Mills? Wills? The guy was great. Watched all 22 games on my laptop.

 

[HabsAddict]

M is second star.

"Now we are going to the second stanza..."

 

[The Real Timo]

FloJack with Habs next season. Lol... St Louis' head will explode

Yeah... I really hope him, Mallioux and RB make it to the Habs roster. There should be some sports. And it's their spots to lose. Too bad very little coming in terms of offense. Hughes will have to get forwards on the open market.

Interesting post-game comments. So like the Habs, the Rocket are loaded in the youth department (they're one of the youngest teams in the league). Twelve players on the team, on their first playoff experience.

Beck (21), Xhekaj (20), Davidson (22), Engstrom (21), Reinbacher (20), Fowler (20), Farrell (23), Mailloux (22), and Kapanen (21) all playing their first AHL playoffs.
