Playoffs Positivity Thread

If you are talking about Slaf, yes that year was weak too but hes still much better than Lafreniere overall

To be fair, the 2022 draft was thought of, at the time, to be weak and with a polarized consensus at the top of the draft (unlike Lafrenière being a no-brainer).

Leaving the draft (in Montreal nonetheless !) with a game breaker in Hutson and a 1st line winger in Slafkovsky is pretty good in a vacuum. It's even better knowing we had no certainty of having a game breaker at 1st OA. If Beck, Engstrom and the others amount to anything, that's just a bonus.​

Canes failed goalie interference challenge, now the Rangers get a powerplay

 

[Andrei79]

Rangers 3 minutes away from being eliminated 6-3

They also got unlucky and drafted 1st overall in a weak year

A pick they should have never had. Remember they won the lottery with terrible odds. I don't want to bash them because they're apart of the habs and have done a decent job so far but Gorton and Bobrov were terrible at drafting/developing with the Rangers

Bye bye New York teams

I think if we lose all our games, Colombus can go 2-1-0 and they get passed us?

No, Columbus has to go at least 2-0-1. Two wins won’t be enough because Montreal has the tie breaker with ROW

 

[Andrei79]

Rangers are officially done. 7-3.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

7-3 Carolina, rags are cooked

Only Detroit and Columbus remain

Bye bye Rangers.

Are the Leafs resting players like Caps did against CBJ?

 

[David Suzuki]

Are the Leafs resting players like Caps did against CBJ?

They are playing with 5 dman because of an injury to OEL. I don't think anyone will be resting because they are still trying to win the division

 

[GrandBison]

The Rangers derailed the minute Rempe became the main attraction

Thats what I meant. 2W 1OTL

 

[Hannibal]

So long to chance a lineup after a loss. MSL is bad

No but I believe they are only going 5 D

The way I see it

75% chance lose against TOR, 25% chance lose against CHI, 75% chance lose against CAR, 75% chance CLB wins against WSH, 75% they win against PHI, 75% they win against NYI.

5.9% chance of happening.

We are at 94.1% odds.

The Habs have their fate in their own hands. They may very well choke but I don t think they should put their hopes in all other teams chosing every game

...but would it not help? would we not clinch faster with other teams losing? lol

also, who said anything about the habs players putting their hopes in other teams losing? im cheering for that... but never said anything about what the Habs players should or should do... so i dont get replys like this but, I am well aware of where the Habs are at... and i feel i can easily cheer for both the Habs to win and the teams chasing to lose.. no? lol

 

[Rozz]

Because they don’t care. Why would they? This is a nice break for them, a little skate

oh I know.. still pisses me off lol

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

We need 2 points let's go
