HF Habs: The official 2023-2024 tank thread

It's very funny that there are more posts about the Arizona game here than on the Yotes board

Also shows you are a bunch of maniacs

Lay of the land, with both Salt Lake and CGY winning last night.

Wow .. Anaheim, Chicago and San Jose are all so so bad.

 

[WeThreeKings]

So this is the lay of the land:

IF we lose to Ottawa tonight

Ottawa goes up 3 pts and any combination of a loss of a point or a gain of a point by the Habs/Sens in the final 2 games would make it impossible for the Habs to pass them.

We would no longer be able to pass Calgary.

Then we would want Arizona to beat Calgary the following night. That would make it impossible for us to pass Arizona.

So losing tonight is so vastly important.

It’s more than funny, it’s also telling. There’s a reason why they’re moving.

We’ve never needed Jake Allen so badly.

There are also other games that will have an influence on our final two.
A Detroit loss to Toronto coupled with a Penguins win against Boston could kill Detroit's chances and their spirit.
I could easily see Boston dogging it. First over all in the east is no great prize at this point.

 

[KevSkillz4]

I'm going to work when MTL will play, but sometimes I will see the score. I really hope that Habs will lose this one in regulation. Most important game of the year, for sure!

 

[WeThreeKings]

Stutzle not at morning practice - think he's over in the pool training for the Summer Olympics in diving

Agreed. So we know they are going to win.

Stutzle out tonight. What a f***ing joke. Of course the Habs don’t dare sit anyone.

It's f***ing pathetically obvious Ottawa is trying to lose this game but we will try 110% because reasons

 

[Balthazar]

You know damn well that they'll be extra pumped to end the Sens winning streak against them

 

[Team_Spirit]

No Iginla for you Calgary

 

[Riggins]

Stutzle out tonight. What a f***ing joke. Of course the Habs don’t dare sit anyone.

He's been out all week. It's not like it's out of nowhere.

This game is big but we still have some wiggle room even with a win. Ideally if we do win it's in OT so the Sens get a point.

They know what they’re doing. If we did, Matheson would have a “virus” tonight. But no, this is Marty’s Cup.

 

[Gravity]

Must. Lose. So I expect Marty to coach like his life depends on it while Ottawa sits players out.

 

[Riggins]

They won without Stutzle this week. Apparently they didn't get the memo they were supposed to lose.

Someone should threaten Ottawa with relocation to light a fire under their asses lol.

 

[sandviper]

What I want: Ottawa win (ugh)

What I expect: We’ll score in the first five minutes. Armia to be an absolute unit, dominate every shift he’s on tonight. Gallagher will score a garbage goal.

 

[Rapala]

The Isles go up 2-1 on the Rags with a late second period goal.

 

[Runner77]

The Isles go up 2-1 on the Rags with a late second period goal.

Now 2-2 in OT. Patrick’s Mystique at work.

 

[Rapala]

Now 2-2 in OT. Patrick’s Mystique at work.

And The Rags win in the Shoot Out. Damn I didn't realize they were 8-1 in OT.

 

[FLHabs]

I want the Habs to end the year on a good note by possibly eliminating Detroit in the last game of the season. If Detroit still has a chance to win and get in for those last 2 games, it will give the boys at least 2 playoff like games to end the year.

I don't want to watch these last 2 games hoping for losses so with that scenario in mind, losing tonight is so freaking important.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I'm gonna be so f***ing mad if professional players and coaches don't decide to willingly lose a game to have better odds at getting a player that will take one of their spots on the team.

Yeah if I’m Newhook I’m shooting it into my own net so I can have a better winger than Gallagher.

I mean even the Oilers are sitting McDavid when he can win the Art Ross and the division is still up for grabs. Management should give a couple of players the day off. NBA teams do it all the time. It’s forward thinking.
