Playoffs Positivity Thread

I'm don't believe Reinbacher would have made the club in 2024. Maybe in the last month of the season. So the only Habs player we got a major injury is Laine. I'm sure you remember 2022 and 2023. We broke the Habs record for injury.It has pretty much the Rocket of Montreal in 2022 and 2023.

I agree on RB, we’d probably have seen him later. But it still sucked and Laine’s injury just seemed to create a real dark atmosphere coming out of camp.

The team need to win 25+ out of the 47 remaining games minimum to maybe have a shot at the playoffs. A hard task but not impossible

I do think that a trade to reinforce either the offense or defense would be needed for that. The team overall performances have been a roller coaster. It needs more consistency and stability

I’d go D if anything. Obviously an upgrade on Dvo would be great. But if you could get an upgrade on Savard, I think it would help a lot. An upgrade on Matheson is probably too much to ask but even another little tweak could do wonders. We’ll see how Dobes does

Lots of teams to pass but Ottawa lost, so 5 points out same number of games played.

They lost Ullmark, they will probably lose more until he's back...

That WC2 is going to be a free for all until the end of the season too.

Dobesh Laine and Jake Evans walk into a bar......

Simple , this rode trip usually kills and end our season .
If they come out of water during this trip I will believe

This thread keeps popping up after a win like the undertaker rising from the canvas.

We're better than our record shows, 2 more wins in a row brings us at an even .500

If Slafkovsky keeps it up and Dach wakes up.. We are better and deeper than some teams ahead of us.

If we get rolling, management might be thinking to make more trades to upgrade the roster this season.

Tonight is Tampa,

GO HABS GO!

Dobesh Laine and Jake Evans walk into a bar......

…and after a month or so of waiting they finally see Dach and Newhook saunter in

3 points out of the playoffs.

 

[tazsub3]

3 points out of the playoffs.

More important then the point is the way they won the last two games , against very tough teams and teams they always struggle against

 

[The Great Weal]

3 points out of the playoffs.

There is a chance if the 2nd line keeps it up. And Carrier has made a massive difference.

Remember when their December streak was just because of playing weaker teams?

Wonder what the excuse is now?

Florida teams didn't play their #1 goalies?

Top teams taking it easy on us because we're a bottom feeder?

Or maybe, just maybe, MSL knew what he was talking about when he said the young group was getting closer to flipping the switch?

We will have more bad streaks this year, and a key injury or two could drive us back to the bottom 5 quickly... That's the risk with a young team with very minimal top 6/top 4 experience & depth.

But, the signs are clearly there,Habs are building something special, slowly but surely.

Future is bright

Slap my ass and call me a believer boys let's goooo

8-4 since return of Laine

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

That 2nd wild card spot is attainable. We're better then most of the teams above us right now, and we're trending upwards.

 

[HuGo Sham]

[tazsub3]

8-4 since return of Laine

And one of those losses he was out of the game .
So 8-3 when he played a full game

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Pens moved into WC2 tonight. We're 4 pts back now, but have 2 games in hand.

Ottawa is playing Minnesota right now, so we'll see where things stand at the end of the night.

Not impossible but I still think it’s a longshot.

I think we’re more of a .500 type team. We look great sometimes and terrible other times. Consistently inconsistent.

We’ll see though. It’s encouraging that we’ve improved so much after that dreadful start. And the 2nd line seems to finally be starting to click.

Habs have won 5 out of 6.... the kind of run that they haven't had since early 2022. And look where they are.... still 5 points out of a spot. How many points did they make up during this run?

It just goes to show how difficult the task is to jump so many teams.
