HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[PeteWorrell]

It would have been great it Sportsnet kept Jake Allen on the intermission panel so we could hear his analysis. He brought some insight on goaltending that we don't get during the intermission panel in Canada.

They would rather keep the limp Hrudey in that role because he is part of the old boys club.

Lundqvist is very refreshing and i am happy to hear his perspective on things.

Nugent Hopkins is glorified 3rd liner sponging points from McDrai

I agree. He is not even a power play specialist. He just gets points passing it to better players.

Nugent-Hopkins does not have a the frame to be a physical force and does not posses the IQ to make smart plays. He is just a warm body.

I remember earlier this season when some Habs fans were telling me RNH is better than Suzuki. Good times. Oilers also gotta unload Kane, guy is awful. I'm only taking 3 forwards from that team if I was starting from scratch.

Kane didn't have a great year but he is playing with a sports hernia right now which limits his mobility

Mikheyev is the Canucks version of Josh Anderson

He wasn't that good last year either.

Wow... Petersen is NOT a playoffs performer.

He injected himself with some Marner DNA.

He a lot of injuries last year and now he is 32 so his best years are definitely behind him. He does have 2 years left at just over 5 million so someone still maybe willing to take him

Are you inferring Bergevin was right about how some players get you into the playoffs and others get you through them?

 

[The Real Timo]

OT.. you gotta be kidding me

Are you inferring Bergevin was right about how some players get you into the playoffs and others get you through them?

and how if you get into playoffs anything can happen.

OT.

3-3.

All Oilers in 3rd. Out shot Canucks 16-2.

Mcdavid and Draisaitl are both over 25 minutes, Hyman is almost at 24 minutes. Knoblauch leaning on the big line to win it

They showed a similar player deployment strategy by the Nucks with their top 3 players.

Hughes was the only player on the Canucks over 25 minutes and the only forward over 20 was Miller at 20:02

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Skinner is my OT pick

scores on his own net

I meant that there was overuse for 3 players vs the rest of their lineup — the lopsidedness, not the actual numbers.

 

[red devil]

Oilers win it in OT

Ian Cole with the winner on a nice tip

 

[Runner77]

Series tied, Oilers win.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Awww poor Canucks, but at least we got a series

Stuart Skinner's career lives another day

Ian Cole with the tip-in

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Cole scored in his own goal lol.

 

[BozoTheClown]

There is no way a veteran like Ian Cole didn’t ripped this on purpose.

 

[No More Subban]

I swear Ian Cole is always out there for every goal against.
