HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[Rozz]

I'll also add that stretch with TB was my "told you so" until he laid an egg the next year lol.

I suppose it's fair to say that if a player becomes a 100 point player, it must of always been in him to some extent .. so I'm not surprised you saw flashes of it to make you believe in him
... but i feel the trades really lit a fire in him that took him to the next level, at least, it looks like it.

hehe, no, what Sid is doing at his age is incredible. Ovi is floating out there and costing them goals. zero points in 4 games.

if somehow Ovi manages to beat Gretzky's record, to me there'll be a little asterisk regarding how he got there. float float float, tee up PPG from his spot

Ovi does the hardest thing in hockey, and that is to score. The game is so different nowadays that I do believe it's harder to score now as it was back in the day.

Is he struggling? Absolutely. But he's in the playoffs whereas Crosby isn't.

And for the record, I also think what Crosby did this past year was incredible.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Even though Sid and Ovi were drafted 1 year apart, Ovi is actually 2 years older than him because he was a late birthday when he was drafted. We need to wait for 2 years to see how Sid still plays the game to compare to Ovi this year.

fair points

It was actually the Panthers that tried to draft him 2003

Yes that's what I meant. My mind got interference from talking about Ovechkin. Rick Dudley thought he was outsmarting the league lmao.

Oh, I never thought he was going to be a 100 points player lol.

Not sure what games you are watching but they completely dominated the Canucks this game and have neutralized them for most of the series. Sissons missed the worst empty netter in NHL history and Canucks got lucky by showing up for 5 minutes.

Canucks didn't get a lot of scoring chances but they had the puck in the offensive zone a lot. The Preds didn't create many scoring chances either. O'Reilly screwed up every one he got.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Jensen give away for the Rangers' first goal .

Dumb play for the 2nd.

 

[red devil]

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Rangers lead 2-1 after 1. Start 2nd on PP as they drew Wilson into acting stupid.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It's the bro that makes it epic.

They were not a threat whatsoever. The defense fell apart where Saros had to defend against 2 on 1s on every goal. ROR has been trash this series.

seems like leafs nation is coming to terms with Marner leaving. The best trade for the leafs would be Marner for Byfield and a 1st or Keller

As a side note, i feel like we were robbed of a pens vs rags series

 

[Team_Spirit]

This one stings for Nashville yikes

This one stings for Nashville yikes

not for my bracket tho

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Instead of "This ain't Texas", do "This ain't Juniors."

 

[Gustave]

Colton Sissons won’t live this down, poor guy

 

[holy]

Is the better result for the WPG first that the underdogs go to the final four or the other top teams?

Wings vs Rangers would had been more exciting for sure.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Taking big risks this year

That goal last night was not posted enough

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Wings vs Rangers would had been more exciting for sure.

after seeing those last two games, i respectfully disagree

 

[Runner77]

It's the bro that makes it epic.

Always.

All those teams « fighting » for the 8th spot were really underwhelming.

 

[dinodebino]

So the Figs got eliminated? That is what it seems anyway. Already making the post-mortem analysis.

Je vais me garder une tite gêne.

 

[McGees]

Kinda cant stand the Caps color commentator guy....sounds like Chief Wiggum

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

So is Nucks winning good for our ‘peg pick?

 

[vokiel]

Lapierre highlight reel.. Damn! Trades are hard
