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

[holy]

Watch all the Eastern conf teams go in ot.

Soon as I read this I knew it was gonna happen.

Only the losers from Boston missed out lol

They gotta be sweating rn.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

The east wildcard race going to be a freaking bloodbath. The teams that make it out might be dangerous playoff dark horses

Everyone is going to be a buyer at the deadline at this pace

5 straight losses. Neely and Sweeney are idiots

 

[Habs7631]

Hurricanes forecheck/cycle game looks like an absolute pain to play against.

And Point with the sick goal in the clutch. Tampa wins.

Good, I hope they start sucking like the Rangers did for a couple months and they go on to miss the playoffs. Everyone has games in hands, it could happen!! Next 3 games for them is Tampa, Florida, Tampa!!

Does Trotz have anything left to sell?

At least Tor defeated Philadelphia.
We dropped 3 ranks.
Crazy close standings

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Canucks apparently rejected a trade offer of Zibinejad for Miller.

We are entering the "throw the towel" part of the season for both GMs and some players.

Also, some teams have been over-performing vs their advanced stats and regression should be coming (see Boston as an example).

 

[Kennedys]

The Leafs winning while being completely outplayed/outshot. Fire Carlyle !

 

[the valiant effort]

The Leafs are top 5 in the league at the halfway point for the 5th time in 5 years

THIS IS THE YEAR

I don't blame them, Ziba is a good player but that contract is going to scare everyone away..

Rags blowing a 3-0 lead tonight, how much longer before they blow it all up!! Can't wait!!

 

[Schooner Guy]

Too many damn 3-point games tonight. Glad to see the Bruins continue their tailspin!

Their offence is so bad. There's only Pastrnak and Marchand who can score in this team.

I wouldn't consider that if I were the Canucks unless Miller is a disruption in the dressing room.

Dolan won’t allow NYR to rebuild again.

I expect both NYR and Bruins to make desperation moves fairly soon. Drury & Sweeney are on the hot seat …

Marchenko/Voronkov train won't stop.

Incredible players Moneyhands is perfect for them.

Not Timmins picks he was still with the Habs.

 

[Frankenheimer]

Weber contract caused contract length to be reduced to 7-8 years.

The rumors a few months ago was that the league directors/GMs wanted to reduce max contract length to 5 years in the next CBA. And the differed money clause will probably be removed or limited too.

Why would GMs want that? Let players sign for however long they want. I would eliminate bonuses, differed salary, and variable actual salary from year to year. Cap hit = what you actually pay the player for however long you want to sign them. That would end a lot of nonsense.

In addition to this, I would adjust cap limits according to taxation so the playing field is equal. You want to play in tax friendly Florida, that is fine. We can pay the same player more to compensate. It shouldnt be difficult to create an algorithm that takes into account net salary for all nhl club locations so that teams in higher tax regions can attract and keep players.

This happened during the mom's trip for the Flames

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Carey beats out Roberto and Henrik for 25.

Where does your favourite player rank? Top 25 players of the 2000s

Even when you mix in all the goal-scorers, gold medallists and Stanley Cup champs, a few players stand alone as the best of the 2000s. Ryan Dixon somehow narrows it down to a top 25.

Nah, this thing is well alive. They have Kuzmenko waiting in the wings for some help.

CGY won in OT, they are a scrappy bunch.

 

[Rapala]

And hope when the teams they're competing against are playing each other it isn't a 3 point game..

It comes down to RW in our conference.
Win those games outright and keep points away from our opposition.
How much better off would we be with even one RW against the Pens.
