HF Habs: The official 2023-2024 tank thread

[nhlfan9191]

Still plenty of time for the Habs to blow this.

It’s going to be a travesty if Slafkovsky ends up with 19 goals and 49 points with a 250k bonus on the line if he can’t score one more goal if I’m not mistaken. Lol

It's all ok if Habs win and OTT get a least 1 point. That will secure bottom 6. Very good to me.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

And what if we end at 5th and 6th or 7th wins the lotto? Then you say we should have won a little more?

Absolutely not. Then I say C'est La Vie. They tanked as much as they could and they got no luck.

I'm pretty sure most people who have performance based bonuses have been in a position where they just missed their target and company said "meh you were close enough, here's your bonus...just don't tell anyone else we did this for you"

Pretty sure that will happen with Slaf

Remember that Slaf is bound by the NHLPA - NHL CBA. Don't think it can work that way...

Hard pass

 

[rahad]

f*** Detroit. Are they trying for another f***ing OT win? They are going to run out of juice by the time playoff start.

 

[Michoulicious]

Haha Man Primeau sucks, the true tank commander we need!

You finish 6th and then you wake up 7th or 8th post lottery.

Marc Denis: Lots of fans who would have wanted to see Hutson get his 1st goal there..

HFBoards Montreal Forum: NOPE.

 

[le_sean]

f*** me. 2-1 in Boston

 

[McGees]

Sens only need to get to OT

They’ll blow it in regulation. Zero faith in them

Thanks! You had to jinx it!

 

[habsfan891]

I didn't want to watch another Arizona game this year f*** these idiots

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

I see Gallagher is still in 'empty stat padding when there's nothing on the line' mode, ******* rat face.

 

[le_sean]

lol Bruins PP. completely dominating the 3rd. Guaranteed tie game here

Bonuses counts against the cap, so that wouldn't have panned that well.

Habs will probably get hit by cap recapture next year, it's not great but c'est la vie.

 

[lou4gehrig]

Slafkovsky's massive growth + a top7 pick = a decent enough 'tank' year.

I think almost everybody would take this if it was offered at the start of the season.

Slafkovsky's massive growth (despite my expertise calling him a bust and rooting against him despite being an 18 year kid and being upset that he's actually a good player) + a top7 pick = a decent enough 'tank' year.

Fixed.

Who's cap recapture ?

great jinx buddy

 

[nhlfan9191]

No jinx intended. We’ve been tanking for 3 years. It’s nice to see something good happen for a kid.

 

[le_sean]

Pasta!! What a pass!

 

[Michoulicious]

3-1 Ottawa! #6 clinched!!!
