HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[red devil]

If Tanev is out for any length of time that could be a series changer. As that would mean the Stars would dress Suter, Petrovic and Lundkvist as their bottom 3 defensemen.

 

[Rapala]

Knob-lock finally realized Evander Kane is a bottom six player. McLeod will help Draisaitl keep up his pace.
He'd be wise to stick with it from here on in.

Stars have outscored Edm 12-11 this series… I don’t think anyone predicted it’d be that close given Dal lineup depth coming into this series.

Oilers deserve credit, they’ve bought into the team game & Brown / Janmark have been dynamite on the PK

 

[The Great Weal]

Otter needs to steal a game this series

 

[red devil]

Edm has what… not given up a PP goal in last 27 chances?

23 and have killed 41 out of 44 in the playoffs

 

[Andrei79]

Man what a game. The intensity is insane. I love the conference finals.

 

[The Real Timo]

f*** that.

 

[Andrei79]

f*** yes !!!

Hope someone elbows the f*** out of Robertson. Guy looks like a Battletoad.

Otter needs to steal a game this series

Nah he doesn't. He just has to lose two more.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Gotta give Edmonton some credit.

Nice bounce back

Also actually closed out a game like you should with the lead

 

[The Great Weal]

Nah he doesn't. He just had to lose two more.

As long as he wins two more beforehand

Not a fan of the Oilers half-assed team building

Scorey Perry two wins away from going to the Stanley Cup finals 4 out of 5 years.

You get Scorey Perry in your team and you instantly make the Stanley Cup finals.

 

[Gravity]

I bet you will.

I hope so.

generational is a big word.... how many of those have there been in the last 20 years?

McDavid
Crosby
Ovechkin

?

Indeed. A MacKinnon calibration wouldn't be a problem either .

Is Ottinger actually any better than Skinner?


Might depend on your definition of “generational”. I say you already seen one - Yoel.

Generational lack of work ethic for sure. A superstar 10% of the time, bum the other 90%.

Problem is you lose the final though.

I've been following the Oilers since the late 90s. Between them and the Canadiens, I've been blessed with shit shows. I just want McDavid to win a cup. He's put in so much work over the years. Guy sacrifices his body, does everything needed to win. It's a farce that a douche like Eichel won before he did.

And then you lose?

Keep in mind he has been healthy scratched in 5 of their playoff games and has one point (assist) in 11 games.

They are truly awful. People talk about the media in Montréal and Toronto for good reasons but they don't talk enough about the meatheads in Edmonton.

[Harry Kakalovich]

Nice win by the Oilers. I'll be honest, I thought they should have gone with Pickard in net and I would have pulled Skinner after the 2 goals. But the coach stuck with him. Good on the coach. Series is tied. Best of 3

The last part of that video is the reason why I always put Gretzky as GOAT over Lemieux. Yes, Lemieux was extraordinary, incredibly dangerous as a goal scorer, and his size...woof! But Gretzky was absolutely outstanding as a playmaker and made everyone better around him on the team.

Look at that stats... amazing.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Suter has been bad.

Suter is bad. He's slow.

I’m with you. Not a fan of how Edmonton built their team but McDavid and Draisaitl bring it every year and I want to see them win.

Yeah, their specialty teams are excellent.

Yeah, if they win the cup with how bad Skinner, Nurse, Ceci & Desharnais are ....

Any other team and those four have killed the Cup dreams.

He's 39 and a few weeks away from retirement...
