This team is magic. Something special is happening.

Schedule update: the Rags, Wings, and BJs are all in the top 5 for hardest schedule.

Habs now have the 2nd easiest schedule

I think we do better against the better teams.

 

[Whitesnake]

Great game! Great win!

Glad everyone's ok in here now. I had to shut off HF Boards after the 1st because the game thread was so negative and there was so much finger pointing.

3rd youngest team in the NHL. They have totally defied expectations by being in a playoff spot on April 1st after two big wins against the defending Stanley Cup champs. People need to cool down and just enjoy this.

All this is true. Thing is this forum is live reactions.....cooler heads often prevail the day after........But yes, it's fun to watch.

In a foxhole, I'd want to be with Matheson. You know he would take a bullet for you. That's what's unfortunate.

What's unfortunate? Surround him with the right squad and maybe he can avoid getting shot altogether.

Hutson is near a Franchise player right now.

 

[Pomee]

And Slaf with his 30th assist , although I was using all the existed and nonexistent Slovak and Czech swear words all night.
Thats how badly he played tonight!

Maybe but gotta love the tough schedule for all of the teams chasing the habs

Can't believe what I got to watch today. Whiskey just tastes better when the Habs win. Two bad unlucky bounces for Panthers. All Habs needed was one to tie up the game. Sure feels good not gonna lie. Huge win!!!

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

Hutson is near a Franchise player right now.

I agree that it's too early, but he has assisted on 25.7% of all goals scored by the Habs this year!

For context when Murphy set the record for rookie Ds with 60 assist in the season, that was "only" 17.8% of the kings goals in the 80-81 season (they scored 337 goals total)

Hutson has been just amazing this year, better than what I was dreaming about at the start of the season.

 

[Guiness time]

I am starting to think Hutson is above average.

All kidding aside, what a performance by the entire team. I am so impressed by the fact they hung in and grinded out a win against such a well balanced and physical team.

....or he might shoot you by mistake?

I liked Suzuki before, but now i freakin love him.

Big Dick Nick has gone next level.

 

[Nicko999]

I felt from the start Subban was a superstar.

The feeling is different with Hutson. I am feeling a FRANCHISE player at worst.

 

[Naslund]

Great defensive game. Florida got two lucky goals; not too many mistakes from our side. Rough game for Slaf though.

Sending love to my man Pez. Nice energy out there.

He always had talent but now he has no shyness about his game, he goes all out. His drives is as good as his talent. Like all the greats.

Montembeault should get into a caloric deficit, maybe try carnivore a few days per week.

 

[Habit11]

Monty had some key saves to keep it 2-1

 

[JianYang]

They have a game in hand but we are up two points

The tie breaker also belong to Montreal against Columbus.

 

[magicaldeck2025]

Anyone who watched the Guelph Storm memorial cup run knows exactly what's happening right now. One of the best playoff performances I've seen in the CHL and were seeing the same thing right now.



He really is man. Can't believe some people see him as trade bait.

That run taught me Nick has the ability to be gain a second gear in big games. He was too raw during our last cup run even though he did very well. Finally we have a chance to see his magic at the NHL level!

This team is magic. Something special is happening.

I recall one of the first games after the 4 nations when Suzuki talked to the crowd … 1/3 full, folks heading to the exits.

Now, they stay. They’re feeling it. Like the Anderson interview.

 

[Jabba11]

What a freaking end to the game. Insane

 

[JianYang]

There's a guy complaining about lane hutson's assist totals.

This is where we are at in attempts to discredit him.

I really think Savard should sit, some rest might do him some good, he looks soooo slow.

 

[The Great Weal]

This team is magic. Something special is happening.

This is the most emotion I've seen from Suzuki since our finals run. Guy usually never celebrates his goals and doesn't seem to care about his play, was just upset about the team being bottom 5.
