We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Les boys gonna win every game I miss, 2 for 2 now.
Patrik 'the Real Deal' Laine.
Xhek rips his first of the season, no Victor Metes these days.

Carrier is a bigger add than we thought...he is really good.
Someone will knock on your door soon just answer they're friendly guys.
Don’t think so. They have a much harder schedule after the next 2 games.
Only on the team, with Caufield, not league-wide
15th league wide in point % over that period. Which is better then some teams at the top of the standings. Jan might not be the collapse some people are expecting.
+ a good AHL playoff run this year would be great for player dev, I'd rather see Beck be 1C in AHL playoffs then play the end of the season on the 4th in MTL. Same with Engstrom, Mailloux, Tuch, etc
2 brutal turnovers tonight for Hutson, gonn haveta tighten those up but solid effort, 33 shots is more shots then we got all season? Impressive
I would save my money to bet on something else.. Laine in, Carrier in and they figured out that Monty always had to be in nets to have a chance. Certainly not a Top-5 pick unfortunately.
Guhle is like omfg thank you God
Someone with a brain next to me AND I can play LD
If they can pan out as a real solid pairing it could help pave the way for Hutson-Reinbacher in the future
Outside of that brutal Penguins 3rd period, the team is playing better and better. Good news considering it's also the second youngest roster in the league.
I know people will never admit it, but Dvorak has been a really good 3rd line center lately. He may be vanilla, but he feeds his wingers well, gets chances and has been responsible without the puck.
I'm kind of wary of going with too many rookies next year, I think they should be careful about losing their bottom 6 centers.

You know we won’t…..why have a back up if he doesn’t play? Don’t ask me why Primeau is our back up…..we have two better in Laval.
Maybe Dvorak should be playing on line 2. Clearly those guys need someone to feed pucks to the wingers.
Bootybootybootybootybooty rockin everywhere
Good game, the boys seemed motivated from the onset. They see "the mix" on the horizon and are going for it, that's good to see.
Maybe it's just the adrenaline from playing his first game for the Habs, but Carrier looked good, he will stabilize the D for sure.
4th line was great, the Dvo line too. It's crazy, the team finally has some respectable depth, but the top 6 not doing much 5 on 5.
Laine is a machine, not much else to say about that.
Hutson had a rough game in his zone but definitely made up for it in the Ozone.
Xhekaj has been so solid these past few weeks, that's also good to see.
Dach finally woke up after Evans took a shift in his spot. He was throwing his body around in the following shift. He needs to start doing that more and just simplify his game to open up the ice for Laine. Maybe that will give him some confidence.
Actually, both Dach and Slaf need to look at how Anderson his playing and just emulate him while adding their skill to his game.
We all know back to backs is this team kryptonite, but I think they're going on a lil streak. GHG!

I wouldn't take him off the vet line. All of them have a clear identity and the whole line plays its role right now. Gallagher has always been very good defensively (though he did one rare mistake/turnover tonight) and Anderson wrecks havoc on the forecheck, he can be F1 without having to worry about nobody covering him. He also cycles, which Gallagher loves to do too. The rest of the team just don't play a game that fits.
The carrier trade was sneaky good..with laine Habs have a ridiculous PP. it will depend how consistent Dikembe is, but I suspect we’re not getting a top 5 pick. If Dach doesn’t figure it out, they’ll have to get creative.
With Demidov and Laine next year plus slaf, Cole and Suzuki, Habs suddenly have a lethal group

When Jarmo Kekalainen traded for Laine he said they got "one of the best" PP players in the league.
It was Finnish modesty. Correct term is "the best" but he was being coy
He's an excellent player. Exactly the type of middle 6 player the team has always lacked. Just a simple north-south, physical game, but with very good IQ without the puck (both offensively and defensively). Having him and Anderson on two different lines must be very annoying for the opposing defense.
He'll get his shot someday on the top 6 because of injuries and he won't let it pass!
