HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[Boss Man Hughes]

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

What does it matter. They weren't going to score 2 goals.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Lafreniere is a good player, but not generational.

Too early to tell but he's inbetween imo. If Gallant didn't f*** up his development early he'd probably be a perennial PPG by now easily.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Now, Florida wins. 3-2 series lead going home.

MSG fans flipping the middle finger bird at Panthers players behind Bobrovksy's net as they celebrate the win.

 

[sampollock]

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

He should be a fig

 

[Schooner Guy]

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.

It's crazy that they couldn't make it work out. Bennett's playoff numbers were really good with Calgary too. Playoff performer!

He's being interviewed now by Shawn McKenzie.

Rewatching this is better than having an orgasm.

Rangers were never in the same league as the Panthers.

 

[Schooner Guy]

The panel is gushing over Bennett's power and physical play. I remember when he couldn't do a chin up at the draft combine.

They are more talented but they don't have the fortitiude. Let's hope Gorton/Hughes learn from that.

Drury's team now. Actually Gorton did most of the heavy lifting but Drury can't finish the job.

I really think we got something good with Gorton and we are lucky to have him.

 

[Big Lurk]

Hope the Panthers finish them ASAP

It's been the Shesterkin show since the Hurricanes series. They can't get away with playing a period of good hockey while hoping that their goalie stops everything forever.

The don't have enough karakter. They need Anderson, Dvorak, Gallagher! That is a LOT of karakter. Rags crashed and burned several time in playoffs now. I don't have faith in Gorton. Let's do another rebuild!!!

Edmonton vs Florida

You and me have the same sense of humor buddy.

Well,

At least they don't have to worry about Kreider 'accidentally' sliding into their goalie and having him knocked out of the series...

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Pulling for the Rags. They've painted themselves in a corner now.

Too early to tell he's not generational? Lafreniere?

Look - i've been one of his biggest defenders, and kept thinking he'd bounce back, and kept saying people were crazy to call him a bust, but at the same time there's absolutely no chance in hell he's anything close to generational.

There have been 10 generational players in the history of the NHL. Maybe ~15-20 if you want to be more generous. Lafreniere isn't ever going tom come close to being a top 20 players in NHL history.

As for Gallant/Rangers messing up his development - yes, I agree with that, they didn't do a good job. But I also think you don't just blame the Rangers, but also the player himself, and a lot of it is therefore on Lafreniere. A better player would have found a way to do better than he did so far.

This month was the 10th anniversary of Kreider's hit on Price, his peak as NHL's Goalie-Runner. Every single hockey fan knew of his reputation. Back then, he led the league in goalie interference penalties, he steamrolled over Anderson, Rask, Halak, Holtby, a few others. Yes, it's awhile ago, but he singlehandedly shortened Price's career so he earns a lifetime supply of "F*** You".

For real, can never cheer for that scumbag. Hopefully the Cats close out the series at home.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I love Kreider , love the way he plays , great hockey player

Panthers looking pretty incredible. Their style of play is tough to handle and the team is well constructed.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I have money on a Dallas vs Florida finals, that's what I still expect to see.
