HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[The Real Timo]

Winnipeg was never going to win the Stanley Cup, so we weren't getting it anyway.

But... once you get into da playoffs anything can happen...

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Game 6 in Nashville.

Preds & Leafs avoid elimination, and force Game 6s.

Jets & Isles get eliminated.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

We can pretty much say at very least it's 25th. No way Florida doesn't do the conference finals.

Yeah, Florida is definitely getting there, so it's going no higher than 25th.

25, 26 or 27.

 

[Habssince89]

Frustrating to see the jets out so early but Avs are unreal.

Islanders was only a matter of time. Hopefully the rangers kick some ass next round.

L-O-L at Boston, yet another choke job is on the horizon. Toronto is playing with house money now and I bet you they force gm7.

Sad for the Canucks but they really needed to get that insurance goal. I think they can close it out on gm6.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Preds are a gritty team. They have just found a way to shut down Vancouver. Its not pretty but effective

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Jets lose. Jets lose. Now we need the Preds and the old bum O'Reilly to wake up. And Boston to win and kick the shit out of Florida.
Thank you Monahan for doing nothing in the playoffs. Time for Hughes to offer you a contract.

With no offense or they would run up the score on Canucks mediocre goaltending.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

No, #24. But all of Vancouver, Dallas, Florida & NYR need to be eliminated before final four for that to happen.

Either the Rangers or Carolina finish ahead of the Jets because Carolina had more points than them.

 

[Habano]

Good riddance to the Jets and their arrogant fan base. Another fraud playoff team eliminated.

 

[HuGort]

Jets franchise had bad luck. Never won, lost a franchise now this one in turmoil

 

[HuGort]

Leafs finally showing some heart. I remember when Shea Weber could barely put his skates on and played with two busted knees, a bad ankle and bad wrists. Played 33 minutes in Game 6. Carey Price playing on 1 leg in the playoffs. Both took their club to Finals. Played outstanding

 

[HuGort]

Yeah, Florida is definitely getting there, so it's going no higher than 25th.

25, 26 or 27.

You think it's guarantee they can beat Boston?

 

[Tyson]

Damn Winnipeg gave up a first round pick for a first round exit...thats gotta sting

True. But those are the sacrifices a GM makes when he's serious about 'win-now'. Hopefully, Hughes will be in that position in two/three years and will have the balls to do whatever's necessary to turn our team into a real contender.

 

[Doc McKenna]

Losing a late pick to solidify your team makes sense...as long as that part is useful.

Imagine if someone had traded for marner..And honestly I know matthews is sick, but dude looked bad out there and was actively hurting his team. They played 2 better games(4 periods) with him not playing.

Edit-did I mention that the Toronto-Bruins rivalry is meh at best. Boring hockey games and nothing like when habs play bruins. I am cheering for the make beliefs and yet find myself satisfied with the bruins winning or losing. Though I know once SN gets the hype train on again I will be stuck having a hard time cheering for the leafs. Them taking out boston in game 7 would be hilarious, or vice versa. And Florida destroying either is just a nice bit of deja vu from last playoffs.

 

[Team_Spirit]

He totally is. He changed all 4 games Jets lost.

Oh snap! And his 8.5m aav deal kicks in next year.

It's OK the Peg can always attract UFAs to make up for it. Like Vlad Namestnikov

 

[Hannibal]

All toronto media are back on leafs bandwagon…0

 

[BergevinBurner]

Oh snap! And his 8.5m aav deal kicks in next year.

The Scheifele and Hellebuyck extensions are going to age terribly. 17 million locked up for 7 years between two guys that'll be 31 at the start of next season.

Just another team locking their aging core for way too long. GMs are more interested in saving their hide short terms than planning long term and few players have any interest in signing short terms contracts anymore. This is the result.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

To be fair to him, he had the Knights and Avs back to back. Brutal teams to have to face.

What did they expect? Like 15 people live in Manitoba.

Hellebyuck is likely going to win his second Vezina this year and has been a rock for them for 7 years now. He had a bad postseason but he’ll be alright granted he doesn’t have a rapid decline in his 30’s. He seems healthy. Bobrovsky was known as a prolific playoff choker for years and managed to shake that label late in his career. I don’t think Winnipeg was anywhere near as good as their regular season record would indicate.

Pls let me know how that 1-hr dissertation on TSN & SN of how this will be the greatest all time comeback sports achievement…end up

 

[MarkovsKnee]

You think it's guarantee they can beat Boston?

Yes. Or, Toronto. They're a big, fast talented team that plays with an edge.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Tonight is Vegas @ Dallas, 7:30 pm. Series is tied 2-2.

And, LAK @ Edmonton, 10 pm. Elimination game. I expect the Oilers to win easily. We'll be down to 3 series.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Listening to the team 1200 they had Dreger on.

Said he (Matthews) was sick and then took an awkward hit in game 3 and that's what his injury is/why he's out.

Mentioned could be concussion and that the symptoms can take a few days to show
