HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[The Real Timo]

Is Mike Keenan still alive ?

Mike Babcock 2.0 or Michael Therrien 3.0

 

[Kimota]

People were worried about the Canucks goalie but Oilers goalie sucks.

 

[Kimota]

This is completely idiotic. Was there no one else to take on Tkachuk or to talk some sense into Pasta and not engage?

Not to mention Tkachuk taking on him was pretty damn disgusting. If I was a Bruins player I would want to destroy Tkachuk. How did they let that happen?

 

[Kimota]

Do like the NFL: they don’t f*** around. Last game of the season, next day: boom! You get fired. No f*** around.

There's no accountability in the NHL from top to bottom. It's a welfrare league. Things happens, no issues, the gravy train continues.

Edmonton Maple Leafs

So many parallels. From shitty goalies,bad defenses, overpaid contracts

Crusty old GM clubs that quadruple down on failures.

Kenny Holland wont trade a first, wont trade any prospects as he waste the years of two of the best players of this generation

But Edmonton’s stars show up. That’s what’s really frustrating for them. They just have no help. Nurse’s contract is sooooo bad.

Keefe seems like a nice guy and he gets to move on with an extension in the pocket(npi) and will probably get a gig elsewhere, hi Kyle lol. His biggest mistake was allowing the big money boys to run the show. He couldn't publicly say anything critical of the big 4 without having to walk it back a few days later.

The new guy must have a spine and not be worried that he hurts some feelings. A disciplinarian style has to be the new approach because being passive didn't work for Keefe. Did they fire Boucher as well? If not, a 1-3-1 might be the new style in TO.

Yeah that was really weird.

Why he walked that back I’ll never understand.

Oilers could have had an easy upgrade by trading for Allen. Asleep at the wheel.

Ya but they got Philip Broberg riding the pine

Holland is gonna Tinordi him til his value is of John Scott

Broberg has not proven to be a competent NHL player.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Broberg has not proven to be a competent NHL player.

But he could have been used to bring in someone to help now

Holland seems to refuse to go all in like other contenders

 

[Leto]

The word around TDL from the insiders was that Holland refused to use Broberg and Holloway as trading chips. Truly embarrassing as their window is possibly coming to a close, as Draisaitl's contract is expiring next summer.​

 

[Team_Spirit]

Drai only played 16 mins hmm

Both goalies were sub .800 unbelievable

Sheldon Keefe on Toronto Maple Leafs firing: 'I didn't get it done in the playoffs' | TSN

What a title to an article from TSN but man did MLSE do him dirty with what they got him to say.

Quote "I didn't get it done in the playoffs," Keefe said. "I didn't push our team over the line and deliver. I accept responsibility for that. No excuses. That's the job. I didn't get it done. That's the reality of the business and I accept it."

Temporary bitter pill but he handled it with the utmost class. Credit to the guy.

That Q Finals is going to be fun to watch. And for me, my final evaluations on Poirier and Boilard.

Allen probably had the Oilers on his 7 not-trade clause...

Weren’t the Devils on Allen’s no trade list?

Temperature rising quickly in Carolina

Yes, Allen refused to lift it in November when the Devils tried to acquire him, but accepted at the deadline.

 

[Runner77]

Is it on account of the solar flares from the potential power outages thread?

AC expected to be out of order.

Allen was more than happy for a trade getting him out of the 3-goalie gridlock. Nothing says he wouldn’t have waived for the Oilers if that’s the opportunity Hughes presented to him.

Lol
The game

Oh that's interesting. I saw the power outages thread but I didn't open it since I figured it was due to a tornado warning or something and never expected solar flares as possibly being the cause.

I knew there was a decent sized sunspot from a picture I had seen yesterday of the sun and I was gonna go out and take a picture of it today but it clouded over before I could go out so I never got one.

Hopefully we get some very strong aurora's from this although we don't get them very strong around these parts but I have photographed them around here in the past with decent results. Well for around these parts anyhow.

Operative word: “around”

Missing sentence-ending words: “plus other parts (around here)”

Alternate, all-encompassing wording: “plus other memories”

 

[Stive Morgan]

Skinner is still awful.

I was right

Skinner never fails me

Worst goalie ever

Skinner is dog water

Pisses me off how dog shit he is playing behind McDrai when he literally carried his mid-ass team (he was a TDL acquisition) to the Ed Chynoweth Cup against my team in 2018. He couldn't have decided to start sucking back then?!
