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

[overlords]

Hard to think they would be term to Reaves. 2 years sure but 3 for a pure enforcer is nuts.

It sure was

 

[red devil]

Matthews with 2 more goals so far, and now has 13 goals

 

[Yasuo]

Knies look like the perfect power forward next to Matthews and Marner. He has hands and iq unlike Josh Anderson

 

[OldCraig71]

The Leafs have roared back to make a game out of it.

We all like to laugh at Matthews and chirp him on HF but he's a star, bordering on super star. Don't let his indifference on the ice at times fool you; he's a killer. We haven't had a AM since Lafleur. And as poorly constructed as the leafs may be, they're never out of games with a guy with his size and shot, pacing for 80 goals

And without a bunch of gifted powerplays... I'm impressed.

I can't stand Matthews...but I'd take his elite goal scoring on the Habs any day of the week. He's a threat to score every time he's on the ice.

****ing Tampa

Chiarelli as GM and Julien as coach, what could possibly go wrong

 

[red devil]

Why is Cousins some sort of God all of a sudden lmao

Gudbranson still useless I see

 

[Andrei79]

The way Matthews is playing he has a legit shot at 50 in 50. He hasn't missed any games right ?

 

[Adriatic]

Tampa is so awful lol

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Tampa is so awful lol

Their goaltenders are without Vaseline.

I think Gretzky said that 50 in 39 is the record of his he expects to last.

Yes Habs are in trouble. Tampa's goaltenders are mediocre but Habs are going to have to get more shots on net.

I just saw this, this is incredible the Oilers goalies have a worse save percentage than the Sharks goalies and that includes back to back games giving up 10 goals.

new champ now

 

[Adriatic]

Love these Canucks jerseys. Don't know why they don't go back to them permanently.

9 sog for the Oilers in the first 3 min.
Stil 0-0

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Eh, the Pens didnt have much talent at D and G either. Dumoulin, Orpiks, Gonchar and Marino are probably the 4 best ones after Letang... thats over almost 20 years.

I think Sid and Malkin were just flat out better than Mcdavid and Drai and missed the elusive 1D. Id say forwards were similar, maybe a bit better on Pe s with Kessel and Guentzel later on.

Gill and Scuderi made a really good defensive pair.

Forwards were definitely better.

Pens had James Neal, but he didn't win a cup there.

Chris Kunitz was pretty damn good.

Pascal Dupuis was underrated. Not great, but got the job done. Similarly to Talbot. Remember when he got beat up and that sparked the Pens to come back ?

Jordan Staal was pretty damn solid.

Oilers have RNH who produces way more than Staal did, but for some reason doesn't seem as good.

Oilers have no one like Kunitz. No one like Kessel. No depth players stepping up.

Fleury gets shit on, but he is/was a pretty good goalie and significantly better than what Edmonton has had. Murray was pretty solid when needed, too.

Pens also brought up guys like Conor Sheary and Bonino, or acquired them and they became solid depth players.

Halfway through the 1st the Oilers have a 17-2 shot lead but are only up 1-0

 

[red devil]

The Canucks just tied it and are being outshot 19-3. The goal went in off of a Oilers defenseman stick

Shots are now 19-3 and it's tied 1-1.
Frustrating season so far for the Oilers fans

Now the Canucks take a lead on a weak goal by Skinner, Oilers dominate the period but their goaltending is letting them down again
