HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[Lafleurs Guy]

Well, that and no Price.

That’s why we sucked.

I'm grudgingly hoping for Florida to win the Cup this year...

They win this year whoever they have next year won't be as nearly as hungry and hopefully the wear and tear takes its toll and they fall in the standings and that 2025 pick becomes higher than what you would figure it would be.

 

[Big Lurk]

Most cup winning teams have great scorers. Not all - but it greatly helps. Pens, Hawks, Lightning… all multi cup winners. Skill matters a lot.

Guys like Marner are an exception. Some skilled guys are better than others but he’s brutal and nobody should extrapolate anything from him and present him as being the rule. He’s the exception in that he’s exceptionally bad.

Is Marner that bad? Hes producing at almost a PPG clip in the playoffs, will play PK as well. I dont watch the Leafs so I wouldnt know.

We were hoping for the same last season and looked what happened? They are going to f***ing make finals again. Only Habs got totally broken by going the distance.

He’s bad.

His points come almost entirely early in a series and his goal scoring drops to about half. He’s brutal.

I think most of us were pretty certain that we’d be missing the playoffs again this year.

As for us being the only team that ‘broke’ after making a cup appearance, it’s happened before. And in our case it was really because it was the last season for our HOF goalie retiring after carrying us for a decade.

All in all, it was cool to make it. Once Price went down we got to get rid of MB (Price was the only reason he had a job to begin with) and rebuild. Only thing better at that point would’ve been if we could’ve won before Price retired.

No doubt. It’s a real shame price never won the cup.

It’s a shame for all of us.

I’m old enough to remember us winning but a lot of people aren’t. I want my kids to be able to see it. That core didn’t need much. We should’ve won one in that span but…

Let’s just hope the new core gets it done.

God help us if the Leafs do it first.

 

[The Real Timo]

Ok. Hope stars get their shit together tonight. Last game was awful.

I’d like to see McD win a cup. Generational talent and Drai is putting up numbers just as good.

Even with bad D and bad goaltending it’s incredible they haven’t won a cup yet.

Cant believe the Leafs let Hyman go.

they did not need him, the core 4 you know.

"We can and we will"

 

[sheed36]

Seen a couple of posts lately calling it the core 5 so I guess Rielly was added.

From the Big 3 to the Big 4 (when Tavares signed) to the core 4 and now the core 5. The big failure is more like it.

 

[The Real Timo]

Terrible picture quality

 

[vokiel]

Skinner is undoubtedly da best goalie in da world!

 

[The Real Timo]

f***. Bullshit penalty.

 

[Andrei79]

Thank you assclown Suter.

 

[The Real Timo]

How the f*** do you only master three shots in 15 minutes against Edmonton defense?

Edmonton has been really good ever since they turned it around. Their team game has been it's best since drafting McDavid.

 

[The Great Weal]

A lot of passengers offensively on the Stars these playoffs. Duchene/Pavelski/Marchment/Harley have 17 points combined. Heiskanen alone has 16.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Dallas with 3 shots 18 minutes in..

Bad change Oilers, gift PP for the Stars

 

[vokiel]

Stars aren't putting pucks on the net for some reason... It shouldn't be that difficult.

 

[The Real Timo]

Stars don’t deserve to win this one. 4 shots in a period in game 5 at home. f***ing useless!

 

[The Great Weal]

Kudos to the Oilers PK that's been lights out but man the Stars PP is so bad. Sloppy, slow, nonchalant, and clueless.
