HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2025 Playoff edition

[sandviper]

Toronto, Florida, Washington, Carolina ... what a dislikeable group of teams advancing from the East

Every west matchup is WCF worthy at least. Fck, should be some great hockey played there next two weeks.

Best meme of the series (Jets vs Blues)

The last two game 7's in these playoffs are instant classics, especially the comeback by Winnipeg. Scoring 2 goals in the last 2 minutes including the tying goal with 1.6 seconds is something many won't forget.

Habs fans CHeering for Oilers

Watching Binnington (and not that he is stellar at it or anything... just decent), I really hope Monty works on puck handling this summer. My god, he has ZERO of that in his game. Price was a master at it, so if Monty can become half Price, it will be huge.

I would argue it's probably hardest thing a goalie can improve on. It seems like almost innate

It would be nice if all three Canadian teams could advance to the next round.

An Edmonton-Winnipeg semi's would be great! Would assure one Canadian team makes it to the finals.

To be honest, I think the leafs and the jets will have a really hard time.

Agreed. I have next to no interest in what happens once Montreal is out but will have games on as background noise. But wow were those two third periods plus last nights OT some fantastic drama to watch unfold.

The first round is always the most exciting one. Perfetti saved Hellebuyck reputation with the late goal.

Thrilled to see this win for the Jets organization and their great fans. I love those tippable wrist shots from the point. Go Jets!

There’s too many of them it's becoming the go-to play for many teams

Yep Hellebuyck has to step up. He played great after the 3rd goal.

Got to believe your name is on the Cup with a comeback like that. Wow, electric stuff.....

 

[WeThreeKings]

Florida and Toronto should be fun.
Vegas and Oilers probably the best series of the round.
Stars and Jets looks fun on paper but Stars should handle them with ease.

Carolina Capitals is probably the most boring match-up you can conceive.

 

[sampollock]

I pick Toronto, Washington, Dallas and Edmonton for the conference finals.

nope FLA

 

[vokiel]

nope FLA

Skin those arrogant cats!

 

[Tyson]

nope FLA

I don't think Toronto beats Florida

 

[Vachon23]

A lot of noise in NYI that they could name a President of hockey ops this week. The name that seems to be the leading candidate ?

Marc Bergevin

Darche will get his chance. This isn't a crazy scenario.

Shit. Want MB to have an incompetent staff so Habs can fleece them blind.
