  1. I watched a Habs game in Florida a few years ago, and even with the majority of people there being Hab fans, it was still the most depressing NHL arena I've been to. It was cool wearing shorts to the game in March though
  2. I dont mind at all. Play the vets in game 1 and if they win it was the right move, if they lose, add some young guns. This is a best of 7 series, there will be changes to the roster along the way. The playoffs are a different beast and Game 1 will be an excellent barometer to see how the two teams stack up against eachother.
  3. I want to see what Eric "triple gold club" Staal can do for us in the playoffs. I could care less how terrible he played for Buffalo and us this year in the regular season
  4. I can't believe we are finally getting a Habs vs Leafs playoff series, has not happened in my lifetime. And I feel much better going into the series as a huge underdog because if we don't win it is expected, BUT if we do win, my god the glory! The way this team has limped into the playoffs and has had injuries to key players who will be back to start the series is amazing. I expect vintage Price, mean Weber, shutdown Danault and greasy Gallagher to inject some serious life into the team. Habs in 6
  5. Did you watch the team in the bubble last year?
  6. Love me some Foli and I hope he keeps it up. But I'll take the proven point per game player over him all things considered
  7. I have confidence that Price will be on top of his game when the playoffs begin, regardless of what he does before then.
  8. Huberdeau recently said he'd love to play for the Habs and he has two years left on his contract. I wouldn't consider him a superstar, but he'd likely be the best forward we'd have at that point in time.
  9. It is impressive how you were able to turn a conversation about the Capitals vs Rangers and the subsequent lack of disciplinary actions, into a Bergevin diss. Never cease to amaze me
  10. I think it is safe to assume that he knows everything and is always right. Just look at the post history, it'll let you know.
  11. Cue the boost this team desperately needs and the subsequent run to the Cup! *Disclaimer: still might not win the Cup
  12. Well, somehow this team has managed to excite the fan base to heights it hasn't seen in a long time, only to play some of the worst hockey we've seen in a long time. Habs are still in the driver's seat in regards to making the playoffs, but man it is hard to have any confidence in them getting there. The injuries combined with the remaining schedule are huge hurdles to overcome. It seems like there needs to be a switch flicked or a defining moment to occur in order to right this ship. Not many days off, can't rest and regroup under the new coach. Can't fire the coach, just got him. Can't trade for anyone else, deadline has passed. Maybe the insertion of a certain prolific goal scorer into the lineup rejuvenates the whole squad and they go on a run?
  13. I fell asleep at the start of the 3rd period, I am assuming the Habs locked up the victory?
  14. I admit I am unaware of the cap implications by bringing him up, but I think this is one of those things that you just make happen. I also don't really care about the rest of the regular season games, but I will be absolutely livid if I don't see #22 play by the playoffs to see how he can help.
  15. The Habs get shutout against Ottawa of all teams and have scored like 21 goals in their last 10 games and we want to talk about rushing the best goal scoring prospect we have had in decades? Some of you think too much, let the kid play and see what happens. If he looks out of place then send him back down. The guy is like 6 months younger than KK who is in his THIRD PRO YEAR and you don't have a problem with him playing right? If he helps the team he belongs on the team, it is pretty simple.
  16. Pretty much my exact take on it as well. We are almost a lock to make the playoffs and the regular season standings don't have much of an impact because we know we have to get through 2 of Toronto, Winnipeg or Edmonton regardless of where we finish. I still have a lot of faith in this team and I do believe we will see a better and more consistent performance during the playoffs.
  17. My team just got eliminated in the semi-finals of my beer league by a team that has David Ling who played 3 games with the Habs in the late 90s. In the deciding game he played pretty dirty while the refs had the whistles away. One infraction was a full on hip check/leg trip in a non contact league, and chirped the ref for making the call, and was even still yelling while in the box. When I was in a scrum with one of his teammates after the whistle he said to me "what are you gonna do there muscles". One of the boys said after the game he means business when he takes his teeth out to play. Did I mention this was beer league?
  18. The writing was on the wall for this deal, veteran center, leadership qualities, championship pedigree, cheap to acquire, etc. I'm just glad that it came together and can't wait to see him help the team
  19. Obviously nowhere else to put this but wish me luck as I play former Hab David Ling in game 1 of the semi-finals of my beer league tonight. Believe it or not he still played pro until a couple years ago
  20. I came here to say this. I also thought that under the CBA they couldn't play two games within 24 hour start times?
  21. Can't wait to watch the game tonight! *checks start time* Can't wait to watch the highlights tomorrow morning instead!
  22. I might have to photoshop my avatar to The Price is Wrong. I haven't felt this insecure about Price for probably a decade, every shot has a chance to go in now. And what the hell is the deal with changing pads and masks every game? Is the long hair throwing off his balance? Are his kids like mine and are up all night while he tries to sleep? Regardless, he needs to find his game because otherwise this team isn't going anywhere
