HF Habs: Out Of Town Thread: 2023-2024 season

[Paddyjack]

I won’t cheer for the Leafs per se…. But I will cheer against Boston. As a gen-Xer, hating the Bruins is a major part of my formative years. I hate them so much…

Not me. I can't stand the Leafs in a level much higher than I ever hated the Bruins, because of their fans, because of what they think they represent (Canada's team, eh). I hated the Bruins as a a big rivals, yes, but I also respected them (well, except that Rat. And, yeah Lucic...). So I'm rooting for them against the Leafs. I'm pretty sure the Bruins are in for revenge after their first round exit last year.

Leafs playing Matthews to try and get him 70 goals instead of resting him. I feel like they care more about him getting 70 than doing well in the playoffs.

Renaud Lavoie on BPM said the TV ratings for the Yotes last year was an avg of 7 839.

Unbelievable, I can't find the source I don't believe it. Anyone has the numbers?

They know what is going to happen in the p/o and want something positive to talk about after the season lol.

This link has the numbers Renaud mentioned, but they got those numbers from PlayFly Sports and didn't provide a link.

I could have pretty much written the same thing. Hate the Bruins and some of their players, but I can respect the Habs-B's rivalry, I respect what the Bruins organization has accomplished, and I'm not subjected to wall-to-wall fawning Bruins coverage.

I know I'm ahead of the schedule here but I'm trying to figure out which team are going to be tanking next year and i have no idea.

The only certainty to me is San José.

I feel like Hawks, Ducks, Habs, Jackets and Coyotes are all at least going to try to take the next step in their rebuild. Of course, Hawks aren,t going anywhere and all these are going to be at the most bubble teams. I see like 20 bubble team, one legitimately bad team and like 10 good team.

If Hawks get Celebrini they will probably try to win, but if not I think they tank one more season.

Utah will definitely be gunning for the playoffs.

Philly might not be trying to tank, but I think they'll suck barring no changes.

Calgary maybe.






Ahhhh Ryan Reaves just scored.

Nostril's have his parade yet

Hawks will be tanking for years even if unintentionally.

If Matthews can get 70 it will somehow soften the blow of getting demolished by the Bruins lol. Leaf Nation, never changes.

I watch Nick Paul and wonder why he isn't a consistent 30 goal man.

Never realized that TBay has the Ole-Ole going....

Why does Anthony Duclair move from team to team? He seems to be so talented.

That is a great question

 

[The Last Red]

Boston will so kill the Leafs again.

 

[the valiant effort]

Leafs: well-oiled machine with the 3 best players in the world
Tampa: old rust bucket with only 5 70+ pt players
