HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2025 Playoff edition

He's an embarrassment.

What's the timetable on Pickard and Ekholm ?

Pickard & Ekholm are expected back this series if it goes long enough. Games 4-5.

Good because I'm 8 and a half.

Interestingly, I remembered you calling a crowd a slur for the same reason and I wasn't wrong:

I was a different person at that time.

 

[Andrei79]

I was a different person at that time.

I genuinely lol'd. Good one.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I genuinely lol'd. Good one.

He was only 8 then. He has matured since.

 

[JianYang]

Th high stick call was legit. It was the kulak call that the ref botched and it turned the tide.

 

[JianYang]

Great crowd in Dallas.

The usa chants mean something different in the south this year.

Lmao Perry making the turtle sign

GAME 7

McDrai are all-time players but theyre also tailor made to be leafs lol.

Last series I saw Mcdabid at the opposing blue line a couple time while there was turnovers in his end. Just inexcusable stuff, these guys are more than good enough to win the right way.

The Oilers have been in the conference finals or Stanley Cup finals 3 of the last 4 seasons. They were one game away from winning it with McDavid having one of the most dominant playoff performances by a player in decades. To say that he’s tailor made for Toronto is super disrespectful. Lol

There's just no way they could've known ALL those guys would fail in the playoffs. It's surreal.

Again, it all goes back to the Tavares signing. They should've asked him to take a discount. Barring that they absolutely should not have caved to all those other players. It was a disaster.

I can't really blame the GM though. A superstar comes to you and says "I want to play for you" and you don't have to give up any assets? It should've put them over the top.

All that talent and none could get it done. And because they weren't producing and they spent all their cap space there, there was nobody else to really get it done. That's the thing, if you pay somebody... they sure as hell better show up when it matters. That's why I loved Subban and Price. They were incredible in the playoffs.

Yea the Tavares thing is mind-boggling. If he wants to come home so much, then why sign him for that crazy amount? He could have taken a discount. Anyway, worst way to build a team ever, really. It's all on Dubas and Shanahan.

This is what it looks like to lose due to a terrible goaltender, not when you give up 26shot attempts in the first 10minutes.

McDavid should demand a serious goaltender or move on after next season, he is wasting his time with that management group otherwise.

 

[Kimota]

Both 5v5 goals against McDrai. Mcdavid is nowhere to be seen in his zone. Hes the fastest player of all time going down ice only.

Fastest player going outside of his own zone, slowest to comeback.

It's nuts I stopped watching in the third, thinking it was in the bag for the Oilers.

 

[LesCactus]

Radulov is the KHL Playoffs MVP.

He didn’t want to come home “so much”. He was happy to be offered market price with his hometown team.

He had five or so serious suitors (he refused to even meet the Habs), it wasn’t as if he was begging the Leafs to sign him.

Kane highsticked him. This shot is AFTER he's already been highsticked.

The whole play:
