HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: Off-Season Edition

[DAChampion]

Habs did continuously ….. for nearly the first 60-years of their existence

Ok great but most of us were not alive back then.

I vaguely remember 1993.

1986 World Series they showed an old man who as a kid had seen the last Red Sox championship in 1918…. right after Bill Buckner had the that ground ball slip through his legs and Mets went on to win the series

S*it happens, that’s the cycle of life

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Leo Carlsson looked damn good last night. We can't have nice things

He was gone by the time we were picking, there's no use being depressed about that one.

Maybe because we ignore or crap on the nice things when we do get them. Price was an absolute stud, yet was criticized by Habs fans virtually his entire career. Pacioretty was something like 5th in goals over several years but it was all about what he wasn't. We might see the first 50 goal scorer on the Habs in almost forever in Caufield who has 50 goals in the last 86 games and is 3rd in the league in G/60 over that time period, yet all fans want to talk about is how we messed up our drafts, or the coach sucks, or how we can't have nice things.

Still clearly remember 1993. I was in my 4th year of secondary school (dunno how it's called in the ROC) so old enough to watch the complete games and my average took a dump in most of my classes. Think i lost like 10% in most of them.

Logan O'Connor and his brother have 2 years difference in age, but one was born August 14th and one August 15th and now I got questions.

 

[gusfring]

I would put a claim in on Liam Foudy. MSL could help him

 

[morhilane]

Benson and Levi injured in Boston (day-to-day with lower body injuries).

Do not over play your kids in the NHL folks.

I never saw much in him outside of his skating TBH. He's a true plus skater though, he can really fly.

The year is 2094. A 116 years old LaP is shown on the synaptic scoreboard as the only living human to have seen the last cup won by the CH with his own eyes back in in 1993. The Montreal Canadiens are in the cup final against the London Mist in England. It's game 7 in triple OT. LaP might be the only living human to experience a CH cup with his own eyes and another one with synaptic TV using his brain. He looks so happy. [10 seconds later the London Mist scores a flukky goal in triple OT to win their 25th cup]

 

[sampollock]

I wanted him so bad

I got him on my fantasy dynasty team. was easy. not for Kent though

He was gone by the time we were picking, there's no use being depressed about that one.

yup, picking 5 habs no chance on a star.. we have a D man

With Dach out they might as well. It would seem to be low risk unless there are locker room issues or something.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Caufield who has 50 goals in the last 86 games and is 3rd in the league in G/60 over that time period

The day the Habs will have a potent powerplay, Caufield might get close to 60.

You forgot an important detail. The Mist won their 25th Bettman Cup.

 

[River Meadow]

Damn JIRI KULICH is 6ft1 now too?

 

[Jabba11]

Jack Hughes looked like the most dominant player in the NHL tonight..wow.

Why can't we have nice things..

 

[Team_Spirit]

Ya he's on fire this year, Kovalev type zone entry

The staredown

 

[MadMslm]

Jack Hughes looked like the most dominant player in the NHL tonight..wow.

Why can't we have nice things..

He’s just so dynamic, it’s insane. He will hit 100pts if he can stay healthy and might be a legitimate challenger for a few trophies.

Wish we could see something like him on this team one day.

 

[River Meadow]

Jack Hughes looked like the most dominant player in the NHL tonight..wow.

Too small tho.

We already have Caufield and Suzuki.

We would draft the big Euro instead.

Imagine what you'll be saying when Michkov enters the league.

We couldn't have him, we had Newhook and Caufield -- too many smurfs, gotta go with the big late-rising Euro with dubious upside.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Nah, we don't need to clog our forward lines anymore.

Benson and Levi injured in Boston (day-to-day with lower body injuries).

Do not over play your kids in the NHL folks.

I believe, based on this boards discourse, that means both Benson and Levi are not ready for the NHL.. and because they have injuries, the Sabres should look to move on from them ASAP because they can't be relied upon ever.

Too small tho.

I know you're being sarcastic but they would not pass on a Jack Hughes level talent regardless of size. The same way they wouldn't have passed on Bedard at his size. They just think Michkov's game translates more to another Caufield like player, right or wrong, that was their belief. Not that small players with a lot of skill aren't welcome on the team.

 

[sheed36]

Preds claim Foudy.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Jake Sanderson does some sketchy shit on defense.

I'm attributing it to him being in like hos 2nd NHL season.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Terrible defense by the Islanders.

Clog what? We are trotting out dinosaurs like Gallagher and Rmia tonight. Embarrassing
