Post-Game Talk: MTL win 4-2 and clinch playoffs!!

[VT]

Congratulations! And if you've already made it, I wish you at least the Stanley Cup Finals. Well, especially for our former Columbus Blue Jackets players Patrik Laine, David Savard, Josh Anderson and Slovak Juraj Slafkovský.

 

[the valiant effort]

Jake’s celly was hilarious

 

[Hope Of Glory]

The goal was to be near the playoffs. A huge part of the fan base thought we'd be bottom 5.

And we are now officially a playoff team.

This season is a huge success and huge step in the right direction.

Damn, finally ! Haven't watched a whole game for a while, even forgot how nervous I get when I watch, but f***ing finally !

At that point I don't even care if we win even 1 game against the Caps, I'm just happy we're there, best learning experience for these guys.

Go Habs Go !

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

suck it Columbus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TBH I do feel bad about their team and fans but it's a tough business

 

[Bomatane]

For those who do not believe in miracles, well, the fact the Habs, a barely one line team, are in the playoffs is really a miracle. Stop complaining about the coaching staff for they made it possible.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Caufield and guhle were magic tonight

 

[DavePeak]

HELL YEAHHHHHH

 

[Andrei79]

The rational high IQ experts here are saying he sucks for allowing a deflection off a teammate when the shot was going 20ft wide. He shut the door against Detroit as well. People here want him to fail so badly just so they can feel justified and say they were "right".

He's been an absolute wall lately. It's crazy to say, but tonight I felt perfectly confident with him in net. Last time that was the case was Price.

All the drama queens and negative nancies are barred from this thread!

How many will be left?

 

[CH25]

The games leading up to the playoffs are gonna be more streasful than the actual playoff games. The boys will be loose and ready to go for Game 1.

 

[Final Baton]

LFG!!!!!
LFGOOOOOOooooooo!!!

This will be a great experience for this group, even it's just 1 round.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Gutsy effort, didnt make it easy, still long was to go but you take playoffs over the 15 pick

 

[BozoTheClown]

1st legitimate playoff in 8 years.

April is definitely different with the Habs playing playoff hockey.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Can everyone on this board collectively agree not to freak out in the playoffs?

 

[JackZap]

Looking forward to seeing Slaf in da playoffs

 

[MarkovsKnee]

The kids played great. If anything our veterans sucked.

Guhle, Slafkovsky, Hutson, Suzuki, they all stepped up. Slafkovsky was a beast from 2nd period on.

Guhle has a pretty good wrist shot. Lol 2 goals from him in our biggest game of the year.

1st & 4th lines played great. Welcome back, Heineman. He really solidifies that line.

Dvorak line struggled at times with Canes speed. 2nd line didn't get to play much.

Team worked hard, and yeah, Canes didn't play their A lineup, but neither did the Caps when Columbus played them in a back-to-back on the weekend.

Team earned this playoff berth over an 82 game season. Every point mattered.

Bring on the Caps!!
