Yeah I hope the players feel the same way. It’s been a great season for them. Maybe even like a couple standing O’s for Ovechkin and letting him score one just for old time’s sake. Play fake D and everything like the All-Star game. Would be such a fitting end to a great season.
Series Talk: [M1] Washington Capitals vs [WC2] Montreal Canadiens (WAS Leads 3-1)

Whichever team loses, you'll find their fans complaining about the refs. Immediately followed by the other team's fans complaining about the fans who are complaining about the refs. And my favourite - the HF scholars with their deep thoughts on "Habs/Caps fans".
Don't let it get you down. Think of this place as a combination sports bar and daycare.
I picked Washington in 6. Montreal's young roster is looking good, but playing five rookies makes it improbable they'll get much farther. Dobes allowed a couple of goals that screamed rookie mistake, but that's where this team is at. The kids are learning and improving, so all good.
Yes agreed caps fans need to stop whining and Hutson the calder trophy winner has been excellent best d man in the series by far.
You realize that Lucic both 60pts + was in a way lower scoring area and that he was the pts leader on his team in one of those year. Lucic was way more dominant in his prime even if it was shortsighted
And if you dig deeper on Wilson production, it's really easy to see that it's not sustainable and he will regress next year. In fact, all caps players will probably regress next year.
Lucic was a meathead. Wilson certainly has his meathead moments, as we saw in game-3, but he at least has the mental capacity to own his mistake afterwards, something Lucic was never able to do.
You realize Wilson just put up 30 goals and 65 points right?

... different people from the same fan base can have different opinions

still trying to trust the yzerplan
The fun part is that it’s the same people saying these opposing things

Just have to go take a look at most of HFHabs thread to realise that......also easier to follow the same narrative for a group of 10 fans than for a thousand
If I were to look at my own post history, I'm sure I could find many occasions where I've contradicted myself and/or said one thing only to say the opposite thing as early as just a day later. In my own case it's because I don't remember what I've said on a regular basis, and will come to the opposite conclusion that I did the day before sometimes. It's actually kind of funny. I don't imagine it's any different for a lot of people. Not saying they have memory issues like me, but people are allowed to change their minds about things.

Looks like Laine might come back for game 5
10-1 WSH
10-1 WSH
Game 1 Hutson was responsible for the 2nd Goal Against (soft play up boards ripped off by Strome then loses his mark on Beauvillier) as well as late to defending Ovie in front of the net on the OT winner.
Game 4 was directly responsible on another soft board play by Bueavillier and then lost his mark on the Strome goal.
He's -3 in the series and was -1 in Game 1 and -3 in game 4.
Talented player but if you think he's been the "excellent best d man in the series by far" you're either not being honest or not watching.

Never thought I would see Habs fans bringing up Lucic of all people in an attempt to downplay Wilson’s impact on the game. Crazy stuff.

Recency bias. Or some of them are too young to know they should never say nice things about Bruins as a Hab.

It's like 1 guy just quote him
The thread has 63 pages and a lot of back and forth, didn’t count the number of people
You have a good point, it’s just a marginal opinion.

TBH both are/were very good players and power forward/physical types. Every GM would immediately take either when in their prime. Opposing fans often hate them but every GM would love to have either in their prime. I’m not a Boston or Caps fan but I’m objective enough to admit it.

Of course, both are tremendous players and unique in the NHL. I just thought Lucic was a forbidden sweard word for Habs fans

Interesting fact Lucic was almost a Hab. Im sure those Habs fans you are speaking of would have changed their tune if he did choose The Habs. He chose The oilers in the end and as it turns out it was good news for The Habs since his game fell off a cliff but still.....
