In this (27-April) article, they are predicting the Habs would leave Weber unprotected and instead protecting Petry, Chiarot and Edmundson. I like that idea, but given the lack of depth on RD, I doubt it happens https://theathletic.com/2532436/2021/04/27/seattle-mock-expansion-draft-6-0-protected-lists/ Also, of note, teh following goalies may be left unprotected: ARZ: Adin Hill, Antti Raanta DAL: Anton Khudobin MIN: Cam Talbot So there is a chance Allen is not taken from the Habs

Nice summary @tomh009 Caufield has proven to be a Tier 1 prospect Romanov seems to be as advertised Poehling, Brook dissapointed but have been improving in the AHL Ylonen seems to be better than I expected and the rest of the lot are not being rushed, with potential to get a solid crop of talent in the next couple of years Future looks good for the Habs

revisiting old threads Interest to look back and see how the team is playing so differently now and how that is translating into results. Team is not scoring a lot, but they are creating chances. Price is back to his elite self and the new team structure is preventing the D from being exposed.

checking old threads, Geoff Molson seems to have made a good choice to sticking with Marc Bergevin. I am not sure if I still want a president between GM and MB. Given how well the team is performing, it is hard for me to think how that would improve the chances of becoming a legitimate cup contender

just checking old threads... let's say Dom knows best and we don't know sh!+ about how to get the most out of this roster

Are the Habs like the Sens or Flames who had a good run? Or legit contenders? I believe that the Habs were built for a deep run in a « anything can happen » type of way MB has not yet built the legit contender he wants. We’ll be able to tell from his 2021 summer moves

yes, focusing on this series and enjoying it. but not kidding myself in thinking the Habs has suddenly become a sure-fire cup contender

I liked Dom's changes on how the team started supporting each other all over the ice. Part of the adjustments made late in the season had to do with forwards supporting the D to compensate for a lack of mobility in the Habs back-end by design because their are constructed to box out the opposite team. On times were Dom's structure didn't work, Weber, Chiarot and Edmundson were exposed. On times were the D was not active on the O-zone, the team didn't create scoring chances. The Habs top-4 are playing great because the team is clicking and applying the game plan perfectly. That will not tranlate well to the regular season. That is were a Tatar-type of player is needed, a Domi-type of player may have a career season and Gustafson may rack up points. For the VGK-MTL series, it is awesome to see them execute and dream about winning their Stanley cup participation. It is awesome to watch Lehkonen, Armia, Byron, Staal perform beyond our expectations. It is awesome to see Kotkaniemi, Caufield and Evans shine and support our hopes for better days ahead. But, like some on this forum, I do not project any of this to map onto the 2021-2022 season. Next season will see new story-lines and a different evolution of the team. Although I am confident that teh teram will continue growing in maturity and consistent play So Habs, Go!!!

You are funny, in both pinching and smacking versions

It is incredible the the Habs are so close to the Stanley Cup finals *** this season *** —if— they win one more game it would be interesting to compare the goal differential and TOI between top4 Ds between 1993 and *** this season *** but that is too much work, so in __my_opinion__ i’ll say it is similar which proves that MB is as much a genius as Savard was Of course this only happens because of the $$pandemic$$ and despite the NHL refs being inc-comp-e-tent

Yes, MB delivered this year discussing MB’s pass at this point is trolling

Habs have two games to put away the VGKs, looking really impressive and likely to do it next game. I am a half-full glass kind of fan, often defending MG, who ever is the coach and the vets whenever they falter but never in my dreams I thouhgt the Habs would be one win away from the fricking Stanley Cup finals this season! I am so happy to say: Go Habs Go!!!

He came in second to Lamoriello

Late to the party, eh?! I argued against it before it happened but finally came to accept it was for the best Go Habs Go!!!

If you are a Habs fan, you have to believe on this team they have more than proven themselves as serious threats against anyone

Game 6 in Montreal , St-Jean Baptiste statutory holiday in Quebec it is going to be an amazing day and lead up to the game Go Habs Go!!!
