HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[The Real Timo]

Habs own Kent Hughes negotiated that contract I believe...Hopefully, he's not as generous as the GM.

Kenny got paid nicely on that contract, lol. Good for him.

Meh... if Dallas wins they can rent Times Square and have a million tourists cheer the Cup parade... even if they don't know what's going on.

I always thought Dallas had a very solid fan base. Their crowd is usually pretty decent.

Is size really the only attribute that some HF posters are after? I have yet to read anyone fitting that very narrow characterization you have brought up in several posts now.

What is wrong with valuing size where the choice is between two players with similar profiles within the same tier, for instance? Should they disregard the “moar size” guy and opt for the 5’9 guy instead?

There is a reason that the “moar size” label is “silly and misguided” — it absolutely is cause no one fits that description.

Once again, size is just one attribute among others that teams are mindful of when roster building, to optimize their asset mix. No one is advocating choosing size as the principal determining factor or to disregard or downplay skill. I’m at a loss.

Would it be weird to qualify myself as a size king ? And if so, how weird ? I feel strangely uncomfortable writing that for some reason.

Well negotiating "bad" contracts makes you a good agent. Assumably he knows all the tricks these agents like to use and he won't fall for it as easily

Go dallas go ! Oilers are stinky tankers , they deserve nothing.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Oilers D seem to make a lot of bad turnovers...

2 good series

Skinner thinks he played a "solid game."

Dont think he gets it, doesnt matter if you make a couple big saves, a stinky GWG and and .810 is no where close to solid

Maybe he meant "solid" by his standards. It's important to qualify things.

Oilers outplayed themselves by shelving Holland. Changing coaches was great but they should have paid up for a goalie. We're at a point where goaltending in the league is so bad after the top that Monty is an upper level goalie.

i guess when his good to great is .880 soni can see where .810 is solid

Its by no means all his fault as Nurse, Desharnais, RNH, Kane, Ceci are all trash as well

Please stop with the condescending strawman definitions. You must be really running thin on substance to be engaging in that. I’ve been following your posts for a long time but the level of discourse you have stooped to, has me gladly moving on. Happens to the best of us, I suppose.

Good luck in your quest, whatever it might be. Enjoy littering your posts with straw men, at least you have been called out on them.

Your zero interest stance is mutual — dare I say it, you finally got one right!

Sadly I feel the same

HuGo just has to trade Caufield so we don't get bored!

Michkov vs Reinbacher isn't entertaining enough?

With all of those titles, Waddell clearly got himself a big payday. Good for him.

I hope it's going to go better than than that time they gave Babcock a fortune and he went and Babcocked himself in record time.

I didn't bother to watch after the stars took a 3-2 lead, but that's because I was tired.

Were the other goals bad ?

Don’t you worry there are many many more Halak + Ryder + 2nd rounders lurking …
