HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2025 Playoff edition

[Hullois]

I still don't understand how Winnipeg keeps that women as anthem singer. I mean no one actually believes that's a good voice

 

[Andrei79]

I'm all-in on the West now.

Same here, pretty much every series has been a banger. Better rosters and team play in general too.

[Adriatic]

And Sportsnet is too cheap to do their own broadcast

Why on earth would Sportsnet do their own broadcast of a series no one is watching?

 

[Adriatic]

Is Winnipeg extending this series?

 

[Schooner Goon]

if the leafs get eliminated Marner can forget about a monster contract.

With 32 teams out there, I'm sure someone will pay him.

 

[Hullois]

What a dive hahahaha

 

[jrom]

He's a monster. Imagine a guy that big, that nasty, who also happens to be one of the best transition defenseman in the league and the best defensive defenseman in the playoffs. He was the main catalyst for three cup runs in 5 years. His peak post-lockout was as high if not higher than Lidstrom.

Added bonus, drafted just after Daigle who (in)famously said « no one remembers who get drafted 2nd »

Lowry is a f***ing train. So sad hes wasted in Peg.

 

[Mrb1p]

Where was that version of Thompson against us

This is what happens when your team has perimeter pea shooters like Cole and Gally.

 

[Whitesnake]

A bottom 6 that would include Will Cuylle, Adam Lowry and Morgan Barron would be great.

love it.................paper tiger.

If Habs had more than 4 forwards who could finish would have been crap.

Because they paid for the rights to show all the playoffs games and as a Canadian I shouldn't have to depend on a feed from another country to produce it. Also, Sportsnet has better on ice and crowd noise instead of the US networks which mute the sounds and make it a less enjoyable viewer experience.

Did you just mention... Caufield?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I think everyone knew Canes would breeze by the Caps

Picked Canes in 4,.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Did you just mention... Caufield?

Honestly he doesn't strike me as a pure goal scorer at the NHL level (I don't mean that as a slight)

I see him having 80+ point seasons but only breaking 40 goals a few times. It's his hockey IQ and agility (and chemistry with Suzuki) that impress me more than his shot.

He certainly isn't a peashooter though lol

Nah I didn't....but then....that's not surprising....Missed on Caps, missed on Vegas and might miss on Toronto....thank god for Dallas..lol

 

[sampollock]

Now knock figs out
And all is good

A 40 goal scorer is not a pure goal scorer? By that standard Ovechkin is the only pure goal scorer in the league?

Carolina is opening some eyes for sure. They are so well coached and give teams so little time and space. Could it be their year?

 

[Adriatic]

Nobody is watching that series. They are not spending a dime producing that broadcast unless they are forced to.

 

[Whitesnake]

Didn't watch the game....how was Nikishin?

 

[dinodebino]

Did you just mention... Caufield?

You fell for the trap.

 

[Whitesnake]

Could be. Not only are they sound but they actually might be the team who will be more rested and more healthy than the Western team.
