HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[The Great Weal]

Stars-Oilers is higher quality hockey. It feels like the real Stanley Cup finals.

I can't help but cheer for the Stars, love the way they are built. Although McDrai deserves a cup, I just hope it's elsewhere on a team that actually tries to be competitive. If Stars make it to the finals, I can't recall of a harder path to the finals in recent history. Vegas was a superteam, Colorado was a powerhouse, Oilers have the best players in the world just taking over games, and the finals would be Shesterkin who's like a prime Price or Florida who's got no real weaknesses either.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Bah! I can't stand Kreider.

Louis Leblanc instead of Chris Kreider at the Bell Centre centennial season draft eh?

 

[Schooner Guy]

Bad penalty by the Rangers there (Gustaffson). A goal on an extended 5 on 3 PP with Shesterkin in nets may have meant game over.

 

[Team_Spirit]

He was about to fall skates 1st but decided to score instead

Oof
That was a sweet backhand damn

*Lmao nvm, off the goalies pad made it go shelf

 

[Schooner Guy]

What a pass and then beauty backhander by Forsling!

He's bar none Florida's best dman. There are many reasons why they paid him and locked him up over Montour.

Oof
That was a sweet backhand damn

*Lmao nvm, off the goalies pad made it go shelf

Bennett put a backhander off the inside of the post in the 1st. I wonder if it's a coincidence or a tactic tonight vs Shesterkin.

 

[Naslund]

Panarin useless out there. Weak on the puck and not creating anything. Very weak.

Keep that in mind if you are dreaming of Deminov dancing around NHL guys to score pretty goals in the playoffs. This is a tough league for tough kids.

It's never going to happen. The playoffs are the most lucrative part of the year. They're not removing games worth millions.

I'm aware of that obviously. I'm strictly talking about the entertainment aspect. I know these people would sell their first born child to make a buck.

 

[Redux91]

Man, both series have been great honestly
It's no surprise both are at 2-2

 

[Rapala]

I can't believe Laviolette hasn't identified Lafreniere and Trochek as absolute must haves on PP1.
Oh well.

 

[LaP]

I'd still target Lundell this summer is Phanters can't pay him

 

[Gravity]

Panarin never has been and never will be a playoff performer.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Hopefully no OT tonight. I need sleep. These games get over late in the Atlantic provinces.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I can't believe Laviolette hasn't identified Lafreniere and Trochek as absolute must haves on PP1.
Oh well.

And having Fox on the PP when he can't shoot.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Game over!

How dumb was Brad Treliving to trade Sam Bennett?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

ENG Bennett. 3-1 Florida. They can go to SCF again in G6 at home.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Game over!

How dumb was Brad Treliving to trade Sam Bennett?

He was crap there. Another gutless turd that is only good on a team with no fans.

LOL! There is nothing gutless about Bennett. He's made for playoff hockey.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Lol at all the shots of dejected Ranger fans. You got gifted a generational 1st overall quit f***ing crying

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

LOL! There is nothing gutless about Bennett. He's made for playoff hockey.

He is afraid to play for a team that has fans.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Game over!

How dumb was Brad Treliving to trade Sam Bennett?

Bennett asked to be traded because he kept getting put on 4th line in Calgary. He wanted to play center, but they had Lindholm, Monahan & Backlund ahead of him, so they tried him at LW, but it never seemed to work there.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Laffy brings them back to within one goal. No OT please. I need sleep.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

3-2. Laf tip. 49.7 seconds left.

 

[Stive Morgan]

And that player just put your bandwagon asses back in it. Sit your ass down back in your seat

Lafreniere is a good player, but not generational.
