The transformation from 05-06 to 08-09 was truly incredible.
From a bottom feeder post lockout, to the steps taken in 06-07 adding Chara and Savard, the hiring of Clode in 07-08, and the absolute tear they went on in 08-09, missing the Presidents’ Trophy by a point.
I loved that 08-09 team. That may have been the most fun I’ve ever had watching regular season hockey.
Looks more like a costume at a Halloween party
Rumor is that it ended up in @Gee Wally ‘s closet and that he still breaks it out on special occasions.Looks more like a costume at a Halloween party
Another one of my favs. Remember they had that run early on the first couple months where they looked unstoppable. They had all the elements of the 2007-08 team with MORE talent and depth. It was fun to watch.
Seeing how this is a GDT.....both of those teams would lay waste to these frauds and phonies in Toronto. Auston Matthews would get so discouraged from Julien's suffocating defense he'd just give up this hockey stuff and stick to what he truly does best.............make shitty commercials like these two gems:

You ever see that one scene in The Shining?

It’s on YouTube.Like years and years ago
That series against the Canes was an absolute gut punch.
First time they win a playoff round in a decade.
I remember people were dumping tickets for Game 5 and I scooped up first row balcony for $25 each.
The place was electric.
He's not moving real well
Seems like Lohrei and Wotherspoon are in, while Grzelcyk and Peeke are out. Also, JvR in with (?) out.
and as expected:
There have been plenty here wanting Loheri in for Grzelcyk and Wotherspoon comes in b/c Peeke is hurt.That's a lot of defensive changes after one loss.
Monty doing Monty things.
It is a great opportunity for Lohrei to get his feet wet with some playoff experience, love it.The annual Gryz scratch in the playoffs - should just get it over with and not even start him in the first place.
Could he possibly make as many gaffs as the other back there?I hope this is a true coming out party for Lohrei right now.
I don’t mind getting Loheri in good learning experience for him.There have been plenty here wanting Loheri in for Grzelcyk and Wotherspoon comes in b/c Peeke is hurt.
2 changes is not a lot
Monty is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

Nor do I. Happened to McAvoy and it happened with Krug and Beecher.I don’t mind getting Loheri in good learning experience for him.
If that’s the case no way he gets rushed back in.
Remember the clean break-outs & super crisp passing !!The transformation from 05-06 to 08-09 was truly incredible.
