Getting off-topic but what about Elvis?How will the news of Johnny’s passing affect Patrik? I fear this may set him back.
I thought Laine wasn’t one of the cool kids in Columbus? Why would this affect him in Montreal?How will the news of Johnny’s passing affect Patrik? I fear this may set him back.
Personally I'm more worried about Monahan... signed to come play and raise his family with his best friend only to have him ripped away.Getting off-topic but what about Elvis?
A tragic day for everybody, words are useless with the amount pain people are feeling in his circle and all of us. Terrible in so many ways.Personally I'm more worried about Monahan... signed to come play and raise his family with his best friend only to have him ripped away.
He had really nice relationship with Johnny.I thought Laine wasn’t one of the cool kids in Columbus? Why would this affect him in Montreal?
But Denton is our own draft pick, not the receipt for the dumping of a potential Rocket Richard winnerThe irony of this from someone with a Denton Mateychuk avatar.
You can combine Laine's 4 years in Columbus and he wouldnt have even won the rocket last yearBut Denton is our own draft pick, not the receipt for the dumping of a potential Rocket Richard winner
It's just hilarious to me that a month ago he was personal non grata, a worthless waste of a roster spot we'd have to pay multiple firsts and maybe even Fantilli to move, less than one-dimensional, possibly the worst defensive player in the league, etc. And then he gets traded to Montreal and suddenly it's the best deal in hockey, Waddell should be fired for the fleece job Hughes just pulled on him, Laine's a superstar who was only mailing it in because why would anyone want to be in Columbus, he's going to score 40 goals and 90 points because Nick Suzuki is the best center in the Atlantic, etc.Visited the mains on this topic and got a little, welcome laugh at Habs fans unwavering belief they they are god's gift to hockey.

Amazing how quickly a player can go from wildly overrated to maybe the most underrated player in the league.It's just hilarious to me that a month ago he was personal non grata, a worthless waste of a roster spot we'd have to pay multiple firsts and maybe even Fantilli to move, less than one-dimensional, possibly the worst defensive player in the league, etc. And then he gets traded to Montreal and suddenly it's the best deal in hockey, Waddell should be fired for the fleece job Hughes just pulled on him, Laine's a superstar who was only mailing it in because why would anyone want to be in Columbus, he's going to score 40 goals and 90 points because Nick Suzuki is the best center in the Atlantic, etc.
It's times like this that it's worth remembering the majority of Habs fans are peeking in, facepalming at their "brethren", then turning around and walking away 'cause they don't want to have to answer for those types.Visited the mains on this topic and got a little, welcome laugh at Habs fans unwavering belief they they are god's gift to hockey.
The way these Habs fans simply don't seem to be aware of the fact their team has finished 32nd, 28th, and 28th the past three seasons because they're in full rebuild just mystifies me. Their team is no better than the rest of the bottom five. They're not special or uniquely positioned to make the playoffs this season after a couple years in the muck. Nick Suzuki seems like a cool guy, but he is very much the eighth best 1C in his division (I'd say Matthews, Barkov, Stutzle, Point, Larkin, Lindholm, Tage, Suzuki in that order).It's enough to make me root for a crash and burn, unfortunately.
It's Laine. Of course he'd choose "not where Torts is" before pretty much any other deciding factors. I'm honestly surprised by a rumor that Philly was interested in him. Truly not sure what Briere is trying to do. Michkov and Luchanko is not enough for the core of a contender.Amazing how quickly a player can go from wildly overrated to maybe the most underrated player in the league.
I was laughing about a mini Montreal v. Philly argument there where some of the Habs fans are like "Laine chose us because we're better" (which certainly could be a factor) and completely rejecting that idea that Torts' presence in Philly could possibly be a factor (which seems a little naive).
When I point out how they've been neck-and-neck with the Jackets, thankfully the slim majority response is still "oh, hey, fair point, that's kind of interesting", but there's still a significant minority that's all "but we're O6 and special and y'all are nobodies" and it's just, yeah, okay, whatever, thanks for sharing.The way Habs fans simply don't seem to be aware of the fact their team has finished 32nd, 28th, and 28th the past three seasons because they're in full rebuild just mystifies me.

Perhaps, but as a Buckeyes football fan myself, I have more than a little sympathy for folks who are part of a very large fandom that has a correspondingly large bunch of loudmouth arrogant assholes.I know it's #NotAllHabsFans
But it's a lot more fun to think it is all Habs fans.

I agree, but Montreal hasn't done anything since the early 90s and haven't won anything since the NHL has massively expanded. Their era of dominance had what, less that 20 teams in the league?The problem is we ARE nobodies until we can prove we're not.
So you're saying you don't want Ryan Day fired after he failed to cover the 50 point spread versus Akron?Perhaps, but as a Buckeyes football fan myself, I have more than a little sympathy for folks who are part of a very large fandom that has a correspondingly large bunch of loudmouth arrogant assholes.
