HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2025 Playoff edition

[LaP]

Pretty bad game imo from Florida in an almost must win situation

 

[sheed36]

If you end up losing in OT, and I think you will Florida, it's your own fault since you just had your chance right there.

Nylander will cherry pick and get a breakaway in OT to win it.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Jets already leading Dallas 1-0. Vilardi. Morrissey is back & picked up an assist.

 

[Bacchus1]

And Jones dives....big time. Should be 4 on 4.

Lots of takes like this on SN. Homer statements: guy made no attempt to avoid plowing into a net while battling for the puck. Patches got his stick in the Ds feet. Called all the time!

 

[Whitesnake]

Not sure it was a dive, Pacioretty's stick blade went under Jones's skate blade...

And I'm finding myself rooting for the Leafs because of Pacioretty, and to a lesser extent Guy Boucher and Domi.

I'm not rooting for the Leafs, never can, BUT I'm just tired of the whole....''it could be worse, you could be the Leafs''. It's time everybody moves on and not be happy because we could worse. We have to become better. And if they happen to win it all, so be it. Frankly, it's way past due. And we will win to beat the best to become the best.

Guy Boucher?

Like someone else wrote: doesn't look like Florida's year. Too many injuries I am sure. Wondering if Bob is fighting something, or is finally declining after so many good years.

2-0 Jets. Someone besides Rantanen needs to show up for the Stars.

 

[Whitesnake]

Of course the 2-0 series lead doesn't hurt, but Leafs seem super composed

I have never seen them so relentless. So commited. Everybody is. they are doing what they can to win in the playoffs. Maybe for the first time ever. Comes down to fine goaltending but most importantly, GREAT coaching and even more importantly, a more solid D, and FINALLY the bottom 6 players are playing insane.

Someting clicked. And after knowing how to lose, they are now knowing what it takes to win. Finally for them.

I think you have a place for the Leafs somewhere in your heart.

 

[Leto]

Guy Boucher?

He was let go last summer. He was an assistant coach with Keefe.

That's the thing...when people say Leafs aren't winning against Dallas....Leafs are playing a complete type of hockey by EVERYBODY that will be hard on anybody coming out of the West.

Trying to jinx em b'y.

 

[David Suzuki]

Jets were always going to win tonight unless playoff Helly showed up.

Yup, Patience. We are heading in the right direction for the first time since that famous draft year with Patches, PK, Mc Donough ... Price the year before I think. We had real potential and let it go.

KH is heading in the right direction. We need some more development of Demidov and we need a 2nd C, and we have two right D potentially graduating in the next 2 years, and maybe a #1 in 2-3. Hopefully we can make a trade, sign an RFA or UFA, or find some unsigned free agent in another league. We have developed a pretty decent core.

 

[sheed36]

Yeah I know and that's why I asked why he was cheering for Guy Boucher.

 

[Bacchus1]

Leafs are relentless. People writing them off in the Finals are up for a big surprise.

They are looking good. If they make it by Florida, I like their chances against the Caps, and then the West looks a bit weak. Imagine it is their year. I'm down with a Peg/Oilers vs Leafs series, as long as the Leafs don't win the cup, lol

 

[sheed36]

Did Cuthbert just say core 5?

 

[Schooner Goon]

Yeah, if I am an owner, I am not digging the 4 Nations cup. SO many guys got injuries after that series. So many Florida players were involved.

The 4-Nations was so intense and fast too. At least in the Olympics, there are some easy games on the schedule for the contenders that aren't constant balls to the wall every shift.

 

[sheed36]

Florida looks dazed and drunk. Not looking good for them at the moment.

 

[ahmedou]

Amerant Bank Arena was always empty.

It feels weird to see Amerant Bank Arena full.

This is the entertainment business. We don’t like the Leafs and they don’t like us. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s what makes it fun. We were the last Canadian team to win a cup and I hope we hold that for as long as possible so we can be the next.

Sure. But if they win....we won't have fun anymore? lol

 

[Whitesnake]

Tkachuk is awful. Tkachuk is playing like the Leafs were playing when they couldn't win. Of course...he DID win....but in this series....he's so bad.

 

[sheed36]

Tkachuk looks like he's about 20% healthy. Kinda sad watching him out there.
