HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[Stive Morgan]

"Losing and missing the playoffs was not something Stuart Skinner was used to in Junior"

Uhhh he was like 88-72 until he got traded to Swift Current in his final season and he only made the playoffs twice with Lethbridge (and one time was them getting swept)

At least do your damn homework Sportsnet. Like don't get me wrong, he was a damn DAMN good goalie in Junior, but he was on shitty teams and lost A LOT.

Miller was 3rd in the Q in save percentage after his trade to Rimouski. How is he not good? Christ he’s a f***ing 19 year old goalie and he’s already a lost cause to you. What a useless discussion. Whining about 5th round picks. Jesus.

4th and I said unless he turns things around, so there's still time, but I'm not holding out hope.

You need to hit on those later round picks. 4 years from now maybe he's that late round find, but likely isn't. Take a home run swing in a forward and see what happens seems like a much better strategy than hoping to get a bunch of goalies that carry below market value.

Broberg has been impressive

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

I'll play goalie for one of these teams, strap me up

No it isn't. There are likely no position players of any use by the end of the 3rd round. Since goalies are so difficult to evaluate the best strategy is the draft a few late and hope one turns out.

Was thinking the same thing.

It's all about the size.

Bobrov was right all along.

Trade literally everyone under 6'1". Every single one of them.

3-0, 7 minutes to go, Oilers are currently in the spot where they usually do something stupid, either from Skinner orr a bad giveaway.

Ha! I should be a medium

Hang on oil

wowo what a tip

 

[Redux91]

10 playoffs goals for a 21 year old is just f***in insane man

 

[The Great Weal]

I would eat diarrhea for one week if that meant Wyatt Johnston became a Hab.

 

[Andrei79]

McDavid has made some really good defensive plays this series.

I would happily eat the ex-lax needed to make that happen.

 

[sampollock]

The shots are starting to get closer

That's fair. I'm not saying taking a goalie in the later round is wrong, that's the best time to take a goalie.

Taking 3 in one draft is a waste

 

[sampollock]

The oil needs to put the pressure on the other end

Holloway playing good

 

[Paddyjack]

I hope Drai is ok because he took a bad fall last shift

 

[sampollock]

Empty net coming up

 

[Andrei79]

I've been high on bath salts all game and its been amazing.

You're going to have one long day of getting clean

And it's not those random bullshit ones that KK got as a Hab. I still remember when he was in Sakic/Crosby company for playoff goals for players his age lol.

Maybe. I'm new at this. Let's ask @The Great Weal for his apparent extensive experience on the subject.

 

[sampollock]

Hang on oil almost there

Nurse is so slow

bruh

I'm no master of the craft, just an avid fan.

EDIT: LMAO I just got it, I thought you were talking about laxatives for the diarrhea at first.

Yes I'm a bath salts master apparently.

bruh

I said what I said

Not if there is nothing else of value. Look at the KK draft. Maybe 7 useful players in the entire draft. Might as well take a goaltender if they see any ptential in them.
