HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2025 Playoff edition

38 shots for Carolina after 2 periods. Wow!

I think we got lucky to draw Washington after finishing 8th. Would much rather face them than Carolina, Toronto, TB or Florida.
 
f*** Carolina and their shit, boring, percentages-based "system" hockey. Brind'amour is just a re-skinned Therrien. Dump it, chase it, grind it, go low to high, point shot, crash for rebounds and greasy goals.

Dull. As. f***.
 

I know he barely knows any English but why is Rod talking to him like he's a caveman? "You know hockey" as he's holding a fake hockey stick.

Really? I personally don't see a team getting 50 shots on goal, forechecking like mad, killing teams in the face-off circle, possessing the puck and applying constant pressure in all 3 zones when they don't have the puck as dull. I only see it as dull for the other team who can't get any scoring opportunities or room to breathe.

All fair comments. And I've seen us stuck on the receiving end of it often enough to be thoroughly disenchanted with it. :)

I still think it's anti-hockey. Where's the fizz? Where's the spectacle? Where's the "ooooh" and "aaaaaah"?

Yawn.

The players are so good on all 4 lines now and teams defend so well that it's hard to get clean zone entries especially in the playoffs when everything tightens up even more. Even in the 4-Nations tourney when it was best players in the world vs best players in the world, everything was about chipping pucks by defenders and not giving anyone any space.

I guess I’m a temporary Sens fan!
I hope to see some annihilating hits on the CORE FOUR
