Hahahah not when you have the roster Montreal has

...apparently enough to beat the Sens...so...

This f***in rookie ref in the Stars/Ducks game has got to be the worst official of all time. He doesn't know left from right. Was a former Sabres draft pick who couldn't make the show so you know he's a f***in loser.

Justin Kea?

Ki

 

[Czechboy]

Poor Vej. Mrazek got smoked too. Go Dostal!

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Congrats, we also have lost to the Sabres every time we play them. Doesn’t change the fact the Habs are finishing in no man’s land

...and again, the Habs were supposed to be in the Bottom 5 of the League this year...this is a HUGE accomplishment for such a young team...be bitter; Habs fans luv the progress we're making...

 

[Summer Rose]

How exactly is that a worst case scenario? Winning games and building team chemistry is far better than collecting another top 10 pick.

I would be inclined to agree. You don’t just dwell in the basement for years on end and then suddenly flip a switch and become a playoff contender. Utah’s in the same boat when it comes to the direction the team is currently taking (current game notwithstanding). I see a lot of us in where Montreal is currently. They’re also a team that’s trying to turn the corner after the “tanking” part of a rebuild. If you make the playoffs, great. If you don’t, no big deal since you weren’t likely to go very far with them anyway and you can continue making moves to make your team more competitive.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

exactly. Finishing in no man’s land 3 years into a rebuild is the worst case scenario. Bottom out cause you ain’t going anywhere.

Quote me at the end of the season. These wins are gonna cost the Habs a top pick, and they’ll miss the playoffs anyways

There is nothing special at the top of this draft. And they have already have 3+ top players to add to the team. Reinbacher, Demidov, Hage, Fowler. As well as the return of Guhle. A good centre would be nice at the draft but the race for a playoff spot and playoff experience (if they get there) is very valuable.

Ref making it rain here in Dallas

Yeah sorry not every team needs a 20 year rebuild like the sens. Complete ass for the last 5 years and their claim to fame is a 7 game winning streak that put them 5 points up on the last wild card. Woohooo plan the parade that nobody will even go to because it's too far out of town

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Noted winner JT Miller dragging NYR to the playoffs while known loser Elias Petterson not dragging the Canucks to the playoffs. Oh wait, the reverse might happen.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Justin Kea?

Ki

Yea, that's him.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Hahahah not when you have the roster Montreal has

hahaha not really sure why i'm responding but here we go

habs top 4 scorers are all 25 or younger.
they have no 2 C (injured and out for season) and their best dman - 23 yo is injured.
their AHL team is first in the league with guys like beck, F Xhekaj, Reinbacher etc waiting in the wings.
demidov, hage and fowler coming and multiple picks this summer...
but sure whatever shit-posting you need to do to cope

Hey, dont you talk bad about the Sabres like that! They have a plan!


Maybe.....

So what you're saying is that we can expect the Buffalo Sabres to win the Stanley Cup next year?

And ugh... 5-0 Oilers now.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Utah is embarrassing tonight

Utah is embarrassing tonight

It's not embarrassing until Brown or Skinner score.

...apparently enough to beat the Sens...so...

The Habs need progress and experience a hell of a lot more than a chance at a top 10 pick no doubt.

People are way too obsessed with magic beans imo.

 

[trellaine201]

Canucks look ready for the game, Jets sloppy and look unmotivated.

Just be patient.....

 

[Matty Sundin]

Podkolzin not embarrassing enough?

 

[Czechboy]

Thank you for pulling Vej.

RNH with 3 points back to back. Maybe he hits 100 again?lol

 

[Czechboy]

PP coming up.. oh boy.

 

[syz]

Okay Utah let Draisaitl get a point so he can sit the rest of the night.

 

[Summer Rose]

I was about to type that it would be extra embarrassing to let "Skinner" score since Pickard is in net tonight, but then I remembered that the Oilers have Jeff Skinner now. Speaking of Jeff Skinner... my word, that man is about to play in his first NHL playoff game this year! Barring injury of course, which I hope doesn't happen.

Especially considering 2 of our recent top 5 picks aren't even here yet
