Playoffs Positivity Thread

[CHfan1]

To have a chance at the playoffs they’d most likely have to go 19-10-1 in their last 30 games. The way this team is playing I can’t see that. What Hughes does at the trade deadline will be interesting. This team sure is making it easy on him to trade pending UFA’s.

ouff. Tank is back on...

Nice to get a glimpse of what it's like to have a good team. There are a lot of bright spots. Porbably showed Heineman's utility, and having 4 solid lines.

Maybe having both Beck and Kapanen, along with Roy, in Laval next year will give us the depth we need to overcome injuries?

See you next year, team isn’t ready yet and that’s ok, I’ll be on the bandwagon full time in 2025-2026 but right now let’s get a solid pick and hope HuGo can have a solid summer

I loved being in the mix and fighting for a playoff spot. It made hockey interesting again and now our team has quit fighting. Let's get excited about picks who won't make an impact till 2028-29.

They haven’t quit … pro scouting has identified and game planned their success trends - this is part of the re-adjustment process

Habs are 13-6-3 since Dec 17

The effort and execution level just isn't there. Some are suggesting that the loss to the Leafs broke them but I don't know. The wheels have fallen off though.

It's hard to find any positivity right now concerning the playoffs. Losing 7-3 to the Leafs after being up 3-0 completely turned the energy of this team around and they have been losing ever since.

Demidov will drastically change this team. Our first game breaking offensive talent in decades.

 

[Bigtrout]

Sucks that we have to do this again but I'm really not bullish on them getting back in the playoffs picture especially without Guhle. Maybe a bump after the 4 nation break but the team is just gassed and there's way too many passengers... but it's OK, we all know the real fun begin next season with our future russian superstar

Let's see how deep this slide will go, a top 5 pick isn't too far off

It was a nice run and the team can learn from it. They earned their shot and then completely dashed their own chances. We should use the rest of the season to evaluate our players and really see what holes we need to fill in the offseason.
