Out of Town Thread: Part 14

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

MAF may want to go back to his initial thought of retirement.

Welcome to Chicago

I have a feeling Hendrix Lapierre will be Claude Giroux all over again lol, hopefully Guhle keeps progressing. But yea, french media will never let it go if he becomes a stud that's for sure

He looks very good so far. To early to tell but he got more than enough potential to be worth his draft rank.

 

[BozoTheClown]

Tyler Myers just annihilated Duncan Keith.

Imagine having Bowen Byram and Makar for the next few years? Hope the Colorado fans enjoy that.

 

[cheeseburgers]

Capitals: Ovechkin is a game time decision.... Ovechkin: LOL what, here's 2 G and 2 A tonight

Thats really frustrating. I mean. We should never let a good Q player…. I really hope Guhle will become a good player. He needs to

Have had assets to acquire another 1st rounder last year. Could had been Lapierre or Mercer.

With Devon Toews and Girard. Not sure the'll need a goalie XD If that team can't win a cup eventually it's going to be a fail of SJ proportion.

That is four very good defenceman, you're right. Definitely some good hockey to watch there (need Toews healthy).

Any Habs fans watching the TNT broadcast? Gretzky is the man. I wonder if they'll have a Habs game?

Welcome to Chicago

for once in his career he's playing in a garbage team.
most overrated goalie that played in the last decade. Barricaded behind superstars and insanely strong streams and still manage to f*** up

Honestly...It'll be a sad day when Ovy retires. I legit think he can finish top 2 greatest scorer ever. Guy is a machine. Just incredible player.

He's 70 goals from that mark... He will be top 2 by the All-Star break next season.

 

[Habz4]

Didn't Lapierre had injury concerns though? I think that's why a lot of teams passed on him, but at least Guhle looks promising so that's comforting lol.

Romanov looked very promising as well.
Promises promises in Hab land

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Hair is all Melrose has had going for him for the past 35 years .

You can't ruin such great hair with a Jean-Claude Van Mullet like he did in the 90's. Sacrilege!

I think it’s safe to say he’s the greatest goal scorer ever. Can you imagine 80s goalies trying to save his shot. He would have got 100 a season.

He'd probably be close to 800 right now with the lockouts and two shortened COVID seasons.

Then there was the Trotz years where he didn't hit 40 goals in order to play a defensive system.

He scored 53, 50, 33 and 49 under Trotz. There was just one off year.

yes - Bruins in Mtl in Jan, and Habs @ Van in March.

Gotta say I’m loving the ESPN+ app - watched the game on a flight back home last night.

If you put Ovy in the 80's, he doubles Gretzky's record AND is his own enforcer. I mean cmon, dudes smoked on the bench in the 80's lol

If you put a French Foreign Legion battalion at Agincourt they would have smoked the English too...

You can't compare eras like this... You have to scale down Ovy as well to that era's equipment and training regimen...

Needs a goal/game over his next 200 games to match the greatest goal scorer ever...

Yes, different eras. No, Gretzky didn't have the best shot of his Era... goal scoring is about more than the shot...

Ovie is one of the best. "The" best remains far out of reach imo

I meant Oats

 

[McGees]

If Gretzky played in the 1920s he probably would have done decent too lol.

I was replying to someone else who said this. Obviously if a player exactly like Ovy existed in the 80's...he'd have been from the future.

Also, I think you grossly misread my sentence.
