I agree that some people are taking that out of context in regards to the time that was known to MB. ex: kk was pissed that he was benched in the Cup final.

xXx..CK..xXx Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Ex Hab Jacob De la Rose won the Spengler cup today with Fribourg-Gotteron of the Swiss A League. It was a 7-2 final against the Straubing Tigers from the German professional league, who took out Canada in the semis. Side note that he scored the opening goal in the final and he and another ex Hab Daniel Carr (team Canada) were named to the tournament “all star” team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carr had a very strong tournament, probably their best true scoring threat. There were quite a few former Habs on Canada's team - Carr, Charles Hudon, Philippe Maillet, Logan Shaw, and Madison Bowey while Noel Hoefenmayer (currently under contract to Montreal) also played for them.

GHT120 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Defenseman Mike Reilly will play in his first game since Nov. 1 on Sunday night when the New York Islanders host the Florida Panthers at 7:30 PM ET. It's been a long-time coming for the 31-year-old, who had to patiently wait to get back in after undergoing a heart procedure on Nov. 19. “I'm so excited. It's been a long, long time,” Reilly said. “A lot of work was put into it, with the hope of coming back this season. So, I’m excited just to be back with the guys here and ready to go tonight." Reilly said he found out Sunday morning that he was coming back in and also said some of his teammates found out on the ice during morning skate. “Resilient is a good choice of word,” Islanders head coach Patrick Roy said. “It would be easy for anyone to give up and then he wants to continue to play, and he wants to do well. I’m happy for him." Roy said he wants Reilly to keep things simple out there in his first game back."He's a good puck mover. He skates well with the puck. So these are the things I want to see him to do," Roy said. "I mean, it's been a while, so might be a little rusty at the start, but I mean, sometimes, if you keep things simple and you're excited about playing, it makes up for it." It's fitting that Reilly returns against the Panthers, the team that waived him last season before the Islanders scooped him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team played a suffocating defensive game and had behemoths on the back end as well as a top-5 all time NHL goalie. They also had size and skills down the middle and a ton of grit throughout the roster. A prototypical 1990s team in a lot of ways, just a few years ahead of the curve. So naturally they were labelled The Worst Team Ever to Win a Cup by the Toronto media, until, of course, the 1993 team came along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
