HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024-2025 season

[JianYang]

Monday Night Hockey on Amazon Prime is the only way to watch the NHL. Everything else feels like watching at 480p resolution on a tube television.

Amazon is the gold standard. Great talent and great presentation.

It's crazy Toffoli puts up the numbers he does because his play looks awful lol

(Not saying he IS awful, he's great, he just has an ugly/awkward style of hockey)

And as expected with a Torts team they choke. Into the shootout

Ersson is crap so the Flyers will probably win.

Bro color me surprised that the streaming platform of the NHL is so crap still. It's 2024 and the highest res is 720p. That's ridiculous. Record profits year on year and yet streaming like its 2005??? Absurd.

What are you talking about? My picture is shit.

Edit; It cleared up after a couple of minutes

 

[Naslund]

Go Flames! Keep believing that you can make it, then finish 11 or 12.

2 points against the Sharks while #4 OA struggles to skate around on the ice

Smith?

A reminder this is the Out Of Town thread, not the tank thread. I know the two are connected, however if you want to talk about other teams' affect on Montreal's draft ranking, there's another place to do that.

Why the tank thing is so offensive to some people ?

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Add Carlsson, Fantilli and W.Smith to the list. There aren't a lot of recent draftees that have been dominant...​

They need someone like Therrien to teach them Rispek, similar to what Rotenberg/Torts are doing with Demidov and Michkov.

There's a tank thread where you're free to discuss the topic. It's unfair to allow every thread to be hijacked by people cheering for the Habs to lose. For that, you can find 31 other team boards that are happy to oblige.

McDavid vs the Isles and Preds this week then it's the Habs.

I know this kind of thing tends to get scoffed at but to don't "suddenly" find the fountain of youth at 39. Me thinks it's not impossible some magic beans are involved. Probably say something like my doctor put me on TRT...

He had a shooting percentage below ten last year. By far the worst of his career. Right now it’s sky high at 20. The Gods giveth and the taketh away.

It's pretty unlikely more than 10% of the league aren't using some sort of doctor prescribed help. Professional sports are about skirting around the rules, not playing clean.

Hockey IQ. Being at the right place at the right time is worth a lot more than skating fast in circle. Joshua Roy is the same kind of player. You look at him and you say he's not good but then he piles up the points.

I think the death of his father had a big impact on his play at the end of the 2022-2023 season and the beginning of the 2023-24 season. When my father died i went into a depression that lasted for a while.

Before his father died on februarey 10th 2023 he had 32 goals and 54 points in 52 games (pace of 50 goals and 85 points). He finished that 2022-23 season with 42 goals and 75 points in 72 games.

Last year he started the season with only 8 goals 28 points in his first 41 games (pace of 16 goals and 56 points). But then he finished the season with 23 goals and 37 points in his last 38 games (pace of 49 goals and 80 points).

So in the half a season before the death of his father he was pacing for 50 goals and 80 points. Then he want into a slump that lasted couple of months. Then in the half a season after that slump he was pacing for 50 goals and 80 points again.

It can be considered trolling and makes it difficult to decipher Habs fans from say a Leaf or Bruins fans who just wants to stir shit up. Not everyone is identifiable through their user name. Keeping it to one thread helps with this.

Basically, you're cheering against Montreal.

Malkin for Anderson + Savard

Get it done Hughes, earn our trust back

 

[Goalfield13]

Any interest in Reimer? Monty/Primeau needs a bit of help. He would lighten their load at least.

That goofy badger baiter isn’t much of a fit in the great city of Montréal

Gawd, I would f***ing love Malkin!

Lets get Larry Eller back.

They would probably get better assets if they traded Crosby.

Letang is 37 already and his contract finish in 2028.

That team is full of old men*, who wants them exactly?
