HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[Runner77]

Let' hope not. They must lose. If Habs keep the Jets pick do NOT want to pick after Dallas. Those assholes will pick the player Hughes wants.

Wish the Habs could poach a few of their scouts.

Crazy how Nashville/Vancouver looked like 2 exhausted teams while Dallas/Vegas had a great pace.

Happy to have a couple game 7s.

Playoff experience vs. lack of playoff experience I'd say.

The scouts make a huge difference but their development team is impressive. Their arena is as nice as Laval's, it's always full and they take their time with their prospects. I would argue that they have the best run organization top to bottom in the NHL.

I just hope Hughes does the same thing if the NHL doesn't do something about it.

If Dallas goes out first round their pick would still be later than Winnipeg's pick wouldn't it?

 

[the valiant effort]

Hilariously, the first two Ovechkin goals here were vintage unstoppable one-time missiles, but the third goal flashed a bit of what A LOT of fans seem to either forget or not know, that he was a ****ing tank that could skate like the wind and wanted to put you through the boards

I wonder if it matters. Hughes will likely trade that pick anyway for another newhook.

Kopitar could retire after Kings pact expires in 2026

Should retire.

Whenever a game 7 occurs I always remember this PK Subban quote about playing against Boston in 2014 in the TD Garden.

 

[salbutera]

Looking like Oilers - Panthers in the cup finals...

But a lot of hockey to be played.

Note sure if mentioned, still very early but McDavid is on pace to break Gretzky’s 1985 playoff scoring record of 47 pts

 

[McGees]

I wanna see Toronto choke so bad, that they have the whole Heimlich family on their bench on standby.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

That "rivalry" is more like a one-way hatefest in a juvenile fashion.

Like Washington and their fans were all Bette Davis about the Pens....and almost every time, the Pens beat the Caps.

I'm a Caps traitor...so I used to have that mindset....

Can’t stand Mark Stone’s f***face and his alien earlobes. And his miraculous injury recoveries come playoff time.

He's always..."microfractured"....

I refuse to believe that the Leafs are all of a sudden a defensive juggernaut. I'm sensing a Bruin's blowout tonight.

This is afterall the first playoffs w Guy Boucher part of the coaching staff …

Even better was his play that fully backed up his words.

PK was a gem. Should've been a lifer in Mtl.

 

[Tyson]

Sadly I think Boston blows another 3-1 series lead.

 

[morhilane]

Whatever happen tonight in the Leafs/Bruins game, one team (or two ) will choke!

 

[sheed36]

As was brought up a couple of times on Melnick's 690 show yesterday and I believe Runner also brought this up in this thread yesterday. Games 5 and 6 in the B's/Leafs series had Guy Boucher hockey written all over it.

The Leafs really didn't give the B's much room out there and the B's offense really didn't have any answers, so expecting another tight Leafs defensive effort like that again tonight.

Montgomery better have made some adjustments before this game because if not it could be another long night for the B's and back to back round 1 defeats after having a 3-1 series lead.

Really hoping this game goes to OT because the only thing better than a game 7 NHL playoff game is a game 7 NHL playoff OT game.

 

[The Real Timo]

I am conflicted about watching tonight. I want to watch hockey. I really don’t want to be bitterly disappointed. It’s bad enough oilers and canucks made it to the second round.

 

[Chili]

Was reminded of that silly Bruins banner ceremony this season, this could be some karma tonight.

 

[dinodebino]

Whenever a game 7 occurs I always remember this PK Subban quote about playing against Boston in 2014 in the TD Garden.

I went to a TDBank Arena tour that summer and our tour guide, who was also working during the game as a usher, told me she had rarely hated and admired an opposing player like she had Subban during that series. She said he was a sight to see during warm-ups; all ushers were captivated by his routine.

 

[sheed36]

I'm more hoping for a B's win tonight just to absolutely crush Joe Bowen's Leafs soul after hearing his call on Nylander's 2nd goal in game 6. Nylander scoressssssssssssssssss. We're going back to Boston buddy and this time we're gonna finish the job.

I thought he was gonna choke himself while trying to get it all that out due to how excited he was. Montgomery should be playing that clip in the B's room on loop for the past couple of days.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Edmonton is a really well oiled machine this year. I really want this to be McDavid and Draisaitls year.

In this year they are 0-4 vs Canucks.

 

[Rozz]

really hoping for a Bruins win tonight... leaf fans in my area will be unbearable tomorrow if they don't... I don't even want to think about the media reaction lol
