HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[sheed36]

This is still the highlight of DeBoer's coaching career until now

 

[The Great Weal]

Hard to win a series where you don't score a single PP goal.

 

[Stive Morgan]

I would bet a big sum that he's one of the best guys in the locker room. He was a great influence in our own cup run.

Sorta like Marchand, friggin' rat on the ice but an absolute G off the ice.

 

[sheed36]

If you want to see the effects of copium abuse just read Leafs boards tonight.

Let me guess. The Oilers had a easy road to the finals right? They seem to forget losing a 3-1 series lead to the worse team to make the playoffs that year.

 

[salbutera]

To be fair, the Stars had the most difficult path to the cup. The last two champions and the Oilers with some of the best players in the world. They were just spent.

There’s no excuse not to crash the net w the season one the line or go O for on the PP the entire series - they play perimeter hockey.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Stars did great with what they had

No 35yo Pavelski, Duchene, Dadonov on the Panthers or softies like EP40.

Oilers are possibly in for a shock.

Panthers in 4 or 5 is my guess. Maybe 6 if McDrai steal one.

RNH must be shaving the beard right? There's no way he hasn't grown even a little bit of a beard since the playoffs started.

Yeah - Edm won’t be able to physically intimidate Fla as they did Stars and Panthers are as deep w solid G

I like the pedo stache.

Deboer takes very good teams Nowhere.

 

[Kimota]

It seems kind of bullshit that Oilers won with only 10 shots, but Dallas really lacked an inside game. Far too many perimeter shots and not enough from the tough areas. Stars were too soft, and lacked speed.

Florida vs Edmonton should be a good series.

It's actually a shock that they beat both the Avs and Knights. Maybe it killed them going through those series. (similar to Vancouver in 2011, they killed themselves beating Chicago, Nashville and San Jose and had no more juice left for the final)

 

[TCIH]

I'm very happy for Oilers fans. I've always had a soft spot for the team and I'd love to see McDavid win a cup... and I also want people to shut up about Canadian teams being unable to get it done.

yea yea yea but I wanted US to end the drought!

 

[Rapala]

It's fitting Edmonton wins the Clarence Campbell trophy after the Habs did it.
The Leafs never had a chance they are in the wrong division.

Bennett's gonna drive 'em f***ing crazy

Pffft.

You guys were telling me the exact same things about the Stars when Oilers eliminated Vancouver "Dallas can run 4 lines", "Dallas is stronger in nets", etc... see what happened next.

You guys are too quick to write off Edm. On a team where there is McD and Draisatl, plus Bouchard, plus others that get the job done, and that are not afraid of physical play like the Rangers, I don't see that "easy" finals in 5 for Florida at all.

Edmonton will win this.

 

[salbutera]

Bennett's gonna drive 'em f***ing crazy

But … I don’t put anything past McDavid, he needs to probably play the best 6games of his life for Edm to win… and he just may

 

[1909]

Will Corey Perry win a Cup after having tried with three other teams in a recent past ?

 

[rahad]

Will Corey Perry win a Cup after having tried with three other teams in a recent past ?

Great question. Losing 3 times in the finals must be hard. Can't imagine losing again....

I wish him good luck. Corey has been a great leader for us.

 

[The Real Timo]

f*** that. All teams in the playoffs this season have been trash. There wasn't one single exciting series. The fact that Edm with their pathetic defense and shit goalie are able to make it to the SCF only speak of lack of talent across the NHL. Not watching finals. NHL is garbage.

 

[Mez]

So I normally go to Canadian OOT's for schadenfreude after major wins. Nice to see a good chunk of you guys supporting the Oilers. With that said Canucks OOT is a great read right now as is Calgary Puck forum.
For the record I was on the 2021 Habs bandwagon.

 

[1909]

Good to have a Canadian based team in the Finals.

I guess Bettman would had prefered a New-York-Dallas Finals.

 

[JackZap]

They’ve played a ton against Bennet and Tkachuk. They’ll know what to expect, im not worried (copium).

 

[Rapala]

Edmonton vs Florida won't do much for ratings...
