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

[Non Player Canadiens]

Fleury's top 3 gaffes:

1) scoring the gold medal winning goal on himself at the world juniors

2) today's slow roller from down the ice

3) handing the puck to Josh Anderson for a late game tying goal in game 3 semi final

and yet, he's still HOF what a goofball.

 

[the valiant effort]

how long do you let Doug Armstrong deludedly try to replicate 2019? Your roster sucks, brah

Montgomery was an assistant with the Blues before he was hired by the Bruins

What is absolutely crazy, is some Bruins fans on their board, who are now convinced Monty asked for a high salary and performed poorly this season on purpose so he would get fired and be available for the job in StLouis, where his wife is from. LOL!

Look into it.

I think you’ve missed the point.

No you’ve been missing the point for 2 years. You don’t get to decide who is eligible for draft in a certain year, you make the best out of it and between Slaf, Nemec, Cooley, Wright, Jiricek, Gauthier it’s a wash so far with a slight edge for Slaf.

Isn’t it impressive to you how quickly Michkov has adjusted to the NHL? Sky’s the limit for him.

I was at that game in Halifax when he did that. I was in disbelief during the 2 hour drive home.

It is.

What it is not though is having any impact on the evaluation of our own prospects. Development is not linear. It's not rare at all that a player will be better than another one d+2 but then d+4 the role are reversed. Like i always say wait for the players to be over 22 before coming to any conclusion.

D+2 Monahan did 31 goals and 62 points while MacKinnon did 14 goals and 38 points. D+3 Monahan did 27 goals and 63 points while MacKinnon did 21 goals and 52 points. If you look stickily at D+2 and d+3 Monahan looked like the best player or at least equally as good. While i like Monahan a lot even without injuries he would not be even remotely close to MacKinnon today.

I don't mind people glossing over Michkov. What i do mind is people using Michkov to bring down our own prospects under the age of 23. Fans are not patient enough.

3) handing the puck to Josh Anderson for a late game tying goal in game 3 semi final

In a game that was dominated by Vegas where the CH was not generating anything at all. People don't call him Marc "La Gaffe" for no reason. HOF quality goalie but had the tendency to crap the bed at the worst possible moment.

It turned the series. The habs didn't look back.

I knew that Montgomery would not stay long at home.

Ottawa has placed forward Zack MacEwen on waivers.

MacEwen played in 19 games with the Senators this season, scoring two goals and adding one assist.

Utah is a good offensive team, terrible defensively but have great goaltending.

If he is that good, we definitely should have hired him…

I don’t mind uncritical support for every Habs player and prospect. What I do mind is people insisting that whatever the Habs organization does (eg Development decisions, draft table decisions) is the optimal and only way to do things. Our fans are sometimes too delusional in how they justify everything done by the organization.

When a contingent of fans will sincerely appreciate every decision of the organization — no matter what it is or how it is done — it makes “bad guys” and “trolls” out of honest fans who have different expectations. We don’t want an echo chamber do we?

Whoever trades for Vejmelka is going to get a good goalie.

Douglas Murray talked about a story where he got a call from Thornton telling him they're moving someone in.

He gets to the apartment and asks Thornton, "are we getting a new teammate, or something ?"

Thornton responded "No, it's a homeless single mother of 2 that were moving in here and you can't tell anyone about it"

Not gonna lie, when you hear stuff like that you kind of want to go back in time and see a player like that win the cup


Edit: I tried to look it up quickly, but couldn't find it. 32 thoughts played the snippet. At the end you could hear Murray holding back tears.
