Out of Town Thread - New Year’s 2025 Edition

[holy]

Great start for the Caps.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Yeah with their winning the lottery like 50% of the time they were eligible. Cursed as it gets. Including moving up to 4th when they were almost in the playoffs where the presumptive 90% of the season #1 overall pick Larsson fell to them. They went to the finals the very next season. Plus they’re signing the #1 free agent multiple years in a row in Hamilton and Meier (though they traded a bit to get him). Or getting an actual franchise player first overall (twice) instead of a project like Slaf. I will take their curse over ours.

A first overall can only help you if he’s healthy.

Great start for the Caps.

The Caps demonstrate why it's important to have a competitive farm team.

The only teams better than Montreal the last two months have been the league's top teams.

Since early-mid November, the Habs have a better record than Detroit, Columbus, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, basically all the teams we're battling with for a WC spot.

I don't expect us to keep playing at a such a high level, but the other teams surrounding us are just as likely to sink. It'll be a wild finish and I can't believe we're seriously checking the standings for a playoff spot!

Probably taking their foot of the gas like they do every year at the end of the season.

Always fun to laugh at the laffs...

But losing to any team in the NHL has zero relation to being a contender.

Last March/April, the Panthers lost to the flyers & Habs... And had a 4- game losing streak while going 12-10 heading into playoffs.
