illWill Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 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.

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.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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.

illWill Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Flyers significantly better so far. Drouin’s main contribution was to put them a man down, natch Another nice pinch by Kulak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I would switch Tatar for Domi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Kulak is a legit top 4 defenceman. I've been on this train for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Not often you see Price that pissed off. Galley is right - that’s on Ouellette, really It’d be just our luck to have Kreider redux happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHT120 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Ouellette's heart may have been kin the right place ... but Price really didn't need Grant landing on top of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
