As a younger fan who started cheering on the habs in 2003-24, I feel like I finally get to experience what all the older fans have been going on about for years

I really hope you do! Watching the Hab's 70's dynasty is something I still cherish.

Chill guys... We are just getting an extra forward for the playoffs, if we make them. No biggie.

 

[Tyson]

Now we have to clinch a playoff spot NOW

Someone pinch me, feels like a dream

Temper expectations; one should not expect much from a player, facing language and system barriers, in his first NHL game.

Give him four weeks or so.

I'm like a 5 year old kid right now, so happy!!

Congrats guys! This is exciting for all fans of skilled hockey players. As a leaf fan having Montreal in the playoffs just makes it more exciting. Like yanks/Red Sox. They can hate each other but it’s much more fun to witness

 

[FLHabs]

It's official!!!!!!! Can't believe still man

It’s pretty packed so far but ;
- Roman says Demi was MVP
- that Demi wanted to be here and Roman knows the family is hard working and good family so he believe he’s ready
- Will have a huge impact on the team and be more productive in an NHL setting than a KHL setting.

Weird to say this then mess with the ice time all year but happy he seems positive about him

Yeah my step dad was born in the mid 50s so he tells me all the stories growing up watching Jean and the Flower when he was in his adolescence. Makes me envious sometimes. And now that he's older, I'm really glad that he may get to experience Habs greatness again in his life

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Great news, the Habs have to make the payoffs now, so win please tonight.

 

[Miller Time]

KH & co. continue to show absolute excellence in their management approach.

Kudos to them for getting this done so effectively!

 

[BLONG7]

Yup, I’m in China sitting on tarmac on a 3hr wait between flights fighting off fatigue and I just got this news that has me on par with Statham in Crank lol

This news............has given us a jolt of adrenaline like 3 cups of Coffee!! And whatever Statham was on in that movie!!!!!

 

[HabsQC]

J'ai un demi croquant

 

[SergeConstantin]

LFG!!!!!!!!!

Demidov vs Ovechkin in the first round could be a story.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

If I had to bet, NHL debut at home Monday?

 

[sampollock]

this better inspire the team even more tonight

 

[themilosh]

We may have to temper our expectations a bit though. I'm not saying he won't have an immediate impact but at the same time he may have to adjust a bit to the level of play of the NHL , especially if he plays in the playoffs which are generally more intense. Assuming we make it of course

Then again he's a ultra talented blue chip so who knows. He's certainly equipped with the skillset to do some damage especially on the PP.

Exciting time folks !!

Dude navigated an entire year with Therrien 2.0 and you think he'll have troubles adjusting???

I dont remember much of the Habs dynasty but I do remember 93, nothing come close to how crazy the city got. I immigrated to Canada when I was 5, becoming a Habs fan was how I started making friends. Seeing them finally win the cup was completely insane, its like the whole school became friends with each other, just pure happiness everywhere. I hope you get to see that some day, and these days I have a feeling it will be even crazier.
