HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[The Gr8 Dane]

I'm so disappointed at the schedule I might just tune into Celtics Mavs game 5 tonight ( I'll last 3 minutes)

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

McDavid has consistently set up chances. Those chances were stopped by the goalie.

I’m not saying Barkov doesn’t deserve credit but ultimately it’s the goalie who’s blanked the Oilers, not Barkov.

The Dannault/Price comparison is a good one. Dannault played really well defensively. Props to him. But he wasn’t better than Price was. At the end of the day, a crazy goalie makes everyone look better.

Let me repeat myself- in the first three series every big name player scored ZERO goals at 5v5. That’s Marchand, Pasternak, Zibanejad, Panarin, Kreider, kucherov, Point, Stamkos. Now Draisaitl and McDavid has one goal. That’s absolutely insane

They’ve killed the momentum of these playoffs with the week off after the third round, 3 days between games in each city in the SCF, and the fact we’re in mid June and coming up on the draft.

I think it was 2 day break on travel days.... at least that's how it was like between games 2 and 3. I don't think that's been atypical in recent finals and it's probably justified regardless when you have two cities as far away as Edmonton and the ft Lauderdale area.

The 5 day break before the final was not typical though, and one of the reasons we could potentially be playing hockey in late june is because the league is still starting its seasons rather late after the covid years. The hockey season used to start first week of October like clockwork..... not anymore

POS Florida team deserves to lose it all after a game like this. f***ing useless team. f*** them all!

Don’t hold your feelings in. Express yourself.

Who cares? What’s the point here?

Those are his toes sticking out from the torn socks.

Bobby Orr skated barefoot.

It's more the fact he refuses to replace his socks. They're socks. Lol

Maybe he can’t afford good socks. He should go amazon. Good deals on quality socks. Wool blends.

Let me repeat myself-

You can repeat yourself until you're blue in the face. You haven't addressed anything different here.

in the first three series every big name player scored ZERO goals at 5v5. That’s Marchand, Pasternak, Zibanejad, Panarin, Kreider, kucherov, Point, Stamkos. Now Draisaitl and McDavid has one goal. That’s absolutely insane

And again... Bob has been insanely good. By all means, credit Barkov but he doesn't get ALL the credit. A goalie makes everyone look good. As I said, Dannault played well with us but Price ultimately won the day for us in those series. Bob will likley win the Smythe should they manage to put the Oilers away. It's a team game but Bob has been awesome. If Florida had won the last game, he'd already have the trophy.

We will see. There's more to play and things can change. But right now? Bob is absolutely the Smythe favourite.

Same thing as Crosby's jockstrap; instead of being a littlestittious they're supersuperstitious.

Roly Poly Ovy....he'd be giving Byfuglien a go in the off season poundage club.

Not super surprising. They had a terribad year, Vincent had a 2 years deal (signed under Kekalainen) then new GM come in and clean house.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Kent Johnson & Cole Sillinger drafted 5th an 12th were kinda busting something had to be done. At least he got the Russians going.

He’s so out of shape that instead of playing soccer in the summer, he’s reverted to pickleball. Hé ben.

Not surprised. We had read in the forums of the great HFBoardz that there was some kind of munity on the Bounty.

Giving Keith Tkachuk a run for his money. Always makes me sad to see great athletes go massively out of shape after retirement (or during their career for some).

Columbus is a f***ing Mickey Mouse organization with firing Pascal Vincent after one year after the clusterf$%k Babcock hiring.

That whole organization is a joke

Can’t say I disagree here. No stability whatsoever.

Columbus is now about to have their 4th coach in the last 2 years.
