Pre-Game Talk: Round 1 Game 4 : Washington @ Montreal Sunday April 27th 6:30pm EST

[Boss Man Hughes]

Absolute garbage. Anderson did nothing. When they were in the bench he didn't try to throw a punch.

 

[overlords]

I'd fine the caps before fining wilson. It's their responsibility to control the door to the bench and having it wide open like that was super dangerous.

 

[windycity]

I have now acquired peak hatred of the Capitals especially cheap shot artist Dowd

Get the players to pay his fine. 5000/20= 250 each

 

[windycity]

Caps will be much hungrier. Dobes is a gamer and we need him to step up

I like Dobes but he's heart attack inducing. But he's also a junk yard dog competitor

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

So Lindgren is not a good goalie and not even a good D. Thanks.

Lalime said both wash goalies catch with the wrong hand. Right handedness. It's a disadvantage? I think now we have a goalie advantage over wash. And seems like Wilson is injured. Hope we have the Mohw Menthum.

 

[windycity]

Anyway, win or lose this is invaluable experience for a very young team. We're gonna be better next season if Hugo does their job decently this summer.

Wilson is injured, too? Not just Thompson?

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

Last 4 periods we were better team by far. I think young players getting use to playoffs. Keep it going.

Boys will pay him back in dinners for sure.

I don't know about that, there were plenty of times I was nervous when pucks were directed at Monty.
Monty's done well in this series, but if it has to go to Dobes I'm sure he'll rise to the occasion.

 

[Habs Icing]

After the best game we've witness in Montreal for years......are you ready for more ?
From all account, Thompson will probably be out for the rest of the serie, might be a game changer.

Discuss

It's more than a game changer. It's a series changer.

Bare minimum of my expectations:

Trade Dach
Trade/LTIR/Buyout Laine
Acquire a 2C
Re-sign Dvo 2 years
Sign Hutson to no less than 8 years

Gravy:
Acquire a proper RD for Hutson
While also trading Matheson
Upgrading on Newhood on the wing

Wilson injured that's a gossip. From what I saw it doesn't look good for Thompson. His knee bended a lot from that tv angle shot.

 

[FLHabs]

This series has started some good ol' "hatred" between the fanbases. I can only imagine the "Which is the better Hutson brother?" debates in the near future. That main board thread will be legendary.

 

[Habs Icing]

Not really the point of the post

But accuracy is important nevertheless.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

If you are legally blind the NHL has a job for you. You would be perfect for a referee job.

 

[Habs Icing]

........with benefits?

Yeah, you get the benefit of his sparkling conversation.

 

[Tyson]

No update on Montembeault according to MSL

 

[Runner77]

Bring him back to attend Game 4?

 

[overlords]

Have this good luck charm attend Game 4.

Also, @dinodebino wants to ask him about bidets. Win/ win.

Reno Depot is so inconceivably f***ed

 

[teamfirst]

Don't change a winning lineup.

Ya..... was expecting that from you

They could never make me hate you Lars

Seems al grown up, doesn’t he? Crazy how a 30+ year old looks and talks like they could eat 3x 20 year olds for breakfast.

How is that the bare minimum lol, folks around here are ridiculous and unrealistic

You're calling for a literal overhaul of the roster by asking for a 2C (reasonable), and then a 2LW and 2RW to replace Newhook and Laine and then a 1RD. And then you say that's the BARE minimum lmao.

Baby steps, habs are going in the right direction...my only expectation is a 2C because that's our biggest need and maybe a top 4 D. Let's see what we have next year following those additions and then revisit at TDL or summer of 2026
