HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2025 Playoff edition

Rantanen started wearing green and turned into a lucky leprechaun or what?

Full credit to Rantanen but he got really lucky on a lot of these goals like 4/5 of them wth

man the avs were dumb

Sullivan and Quennville let's not give a new guy a chance

 

[NMacrules]

In the last 2 games alone, he missed an empty net twice to ice the game. For a goal scorer like him, this is unacceptable.
With 2 min left, soft and failed to clear which gave Florida a grade A chance to tie the game.

Just some examples... dude is soft.

He is 4th on the team with hits. And did you see how he missed the nets? Both times a panther got a stick in the way and both times Matthews was at the end of a shift and gasping. Cause and effect my friend, cause and effect.

I'm starting to think it might be the worst trade of the Avalanche history. Rantanen is a beast. And I wish we could have gotten into that derby. Cause power forwards of this magnitude don't grow on trees. I would have given him the money. But I'm thinking he probably had a limited teams list where he wanted to go, right.

 

[Kimota]

Yes! I also root for rapists enablers!

So he should not work ever again? What would be the appropriate thing to do. A walk of shame like in Game of Thrones before coaching again.

I didn't see any Panthers stick in the way. He is supposed to bury those no matter what, he is not making Jake Evans money.

He shouldn't work in the NHL again. He can go fill shelves at the grocery store if he wants to work.

I don't have a problem with him never working in the NHL. Although I wish I knew exactly the whole story before passing judgement and how it happened. It's very human to not want to be distracted by something happening, even something pretty bad. Cause humans tends to zone out into what they are doing. It's not an excuse but perhaps it wasn't as devious as it is perceived. Again I may be wrong but I wasn't there.

Personally I would never hire him just on the basis of this thing overing over people's heads. I don't see how players can have a good perception of him and willing to play for him.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Bro what

 

[Whitesnake]

Hey Quenneville is a coach again. I mean...thank god they don't have language issues elsewhere than Montreal....no stone are left unturned and they can actually pick the VERY BEST candidate out there....lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Some teams are just shitshow and it start from the top...

Apparently, they talked to Beach before the hiring, so I assume he was good with coach Q getting back into NHL. Bowman's back. NHL cleared Q summer 2024.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Bro what

Agape is the Greek word for love.

 

[Adriatic]

Q is a great coach and should be behind a bench.

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[the valiant effort]

Q never showed anything resembling empathy or understanding in his public remarks about the incidents, in fact he showed only contempt that he had to “deal” with it again ~10 years later. He is a unique brand of garbage.

[habbubba]

He's always been crap since day 1. Worse is that Montreal played him when he was clearly not ready,what a joke.lol

Drafting for need gets you Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Horrible pick.

There is no way to know since he had imbecile coaches to start his career. Some guys don't recover from that. Of course if he has a bad attitude he was never going to progress.

Habs were drafting a center instead of BPA, that's how I remember it.

KK was rated pretty high. But Zadina was the top pick at their spot.
