I don't know if I'm just on a Habs high, but that Flyers lineup on paper doesn't seem as intimidating as it should. 

 

Also I hope that anyone that wanted a series loss against Pittsburgh doesn't tune into these games because they don't deserve to enjoy this.

If Pittsburgh won and Habs got Lafreniere I wouldn't have suggested you not be allowed to watch him because you didn't want the pick.

Everyone wants the 1st overall pick.

I never thought of that ... D'Oh

 

In context, given the choice the "anti-tankers" were cheering for the win rather than the chance at the #1 pick; the reverse of the espoused logic that I as a (despite what some may think) Habs fan should not be allowed to watch these games.

Can we please get over the argument about The Pick? I think Tanking is dumb, but I'm sure even enthusiastic Tankists will get behind the team, especially now that we know the Habs would not have gotten the #1 pick.

 

I notice that the media discourse is much more circumspect about this series than it was about PITT. Even though Philly is (rightly) favoured, the Habs are now getting some respect.

I think it’s because those fans were cheering for he Habs to lose.

Not only would we not have got #1, but that series is now done, gone, water under the bridge, pining for the fjords, dead as a doornail. Time to move on.

 

The media is indeed giving the Habs some respect. Flyers fans, on the other hand, look even cockier than the Penguins ones.

Not even similar and you know what he means.

Those 'supposed' Hab fans cheering for loss, when playoffs was a distinct possibility doesnt sit well with me neither.

Went from 1 of 5 HabWriters picking Habs over Pens, to 3 of 5 for this series.

I was but then was told we "tankers" are not allowed to watch and get behind them because we are not "real" fans

(1) LOVE the "gif" ... will be thinking of it all game long

(2) Things other fans have advocated did not always "sit well" with me but I respect that everyone's entitles to an opinion as to what is best for the team.

Not certain if that is good news or bad news ... given their recent record

Schadenfreude’s revenge!

 

Look for Price to dominate on his extended spring 2020 rest. He’s just getting warmed up!

Do we all want the Habs to win this series or are we hoping to lock in the 16th pick? Just want to be prepared next time I log in 

HA Ha ha

Armia seems to be hurt on the hands, weak shots and trouble accepting passes.

 

Good effort from Domi so far

 

Daneault’s line is playing well

Habs playing « du bout du bâton » translated « from the end of their stick » meaning that it seems they are tentative

 

until that drive by the Danault line

Ouellette's heart may have been kin the right place ... but Price really didn't need Grant landing on top of him
