Habsfan

True, I had forgotten about Romanov. Who's Kakko?

I'm cautiously optimistic about the next 5 years. Alot will depend on how we develop some of our top prospects (KK, Suzuki, Poehling, Brook, Juulsen)

Well, the kid had a pretty decent first NHL game! Hat trick and the winning goal in the shoot out! Looking forward to seeing him with the Habs next year!

Just got home from the Bell Center. What a crazy game it was! Loved every minute of this meaningless game! Was nice to see all those leafy fans leaving the Bell center much quieter than they were at the beginning of the game! I agree about Poehling. The kid is built like a man. You can tell he's heavier than KK. I did not expect him to have such good hands! Really looking forward to seeing where he will end up next season! Just another reason to look forward to 2019-2020!!!

Gentlemen, I have to say this has been a good discussion! ON a different note, what really worries me for next year is that we had 7 players who had CAREER years in 2018-2019. What are the odds they will have career years again in 2019-2020? Will Domi put up another 70 point season? Will Gallagher score 30 again? Will Danault get 50 points and dominate in the faceoff circle? Will Tatar score 25 and get 60 points? Also, the Habs were spared major injuries to key players this year (With the exception of Weber). Will we be as lucky next year? Lastly, Can Bergevin find that elusive d-man to play with Weber or maybe find another top 6 forward? A few tweaks could ut us over the top for next year, but nothing is guaranteed yet!

Where I have a problem with Drouin is that he was a complete no show for games 55 through 75. True he didn't put up many points during the final 5 games of the season as well, but at least he gave the effort necessary (skating hard, hustling to get back in the d zone). As mentioned by François Gagnon on RDC.ca, Drouin had no points in 49 of 81 games....and no points in 23 of the last 25 games. That is what I find disappointing about him. There were too many nights where JD was a passenger. Last point, I don't think Drouin is a THE guy we should be counting on to lead the Habs. Just like Kessel is not THE guy in Pittsburgh! Kessel might not be THE guy, but he's still a very good player. I think the same applies with Drouin. If we could find THE guy who could lead the offense, I think Drouin would be a good follower! I might be wrong, but that's the way I feel about him!

well. it was a nice season!

Let's go Rangers!!!

Yeah, but if Columbus wins tomorrow, it's over for our boys!

too bad! not enough offensive firepower!

i have never seen a team have so much trouble to enter the offensive zone!

I can't handle this pressure!!!!

Somebody, Please score a goal!!!!!

Damn! The Canes are ahead 2-1 after 40 minutes.

well... Price just stopped Ovechkin on a breakaway!

Thank the Gods for Price!

I still can't get over the chance Tatar missed a few minutes ago! Love the way Armia is playing tonight!

Big save by Carey! Caps PP coming up!

Not sure who I would draft, but most experts agree to say that 2019 is supposed to be the best draft year since 2003. THere are supposed to be some excellent players all through the first round and even in the early second round! The Habs need to find someone talented...either a scoring winger or a defenseman who can become a general for the power play!

CK is absolutely right with regards to a tie breaker with Carolina! No matter what happens this week, I will have to say that this has been an exciting season. The Habs played above their heads almost all season!

Huge win last night. Too bad Nashville couldn't help us out! Let's hope for losses by Columbus and Carolina tonight!

They have to stay optimistic if they don't want all the viewers to change the channel!

Too bad. I would've like to let the young ones learn a little by playing a few playoff games!

Shit. Two goal deficit! Game over!

Damn. What are they doing out there. NOt very impressed with the effort level in the 2nd. Columbus looks like they want it more!
