Blasts from the Past Threads

[Habs Halifax]

I was going back to the past to look for a thread and couldn't find what I was looking for but found these from 2016... enjoy! It's nice to look back and see what people have said.

Ott: "Montreal's defensive system is Carey Price"

So how much longer before a Canadian team wins the Cup?
Seriously, what's with all the Weber bashing?

Don't be so hard on yourself.

The Alzner signing thread was pretty epic.

The darkest day in habs history.

I remember staying up late on the Habs mIRC chat that we had going at the time, and when the news came out I just laughed and went to bed. So dumb.

Anyway, Spacegoat is the best thread.

Oof... that pick surprised everyone, especially a gamble for a high 2nd round pick with many other picks coming later. Some users had great vision though

I think it was Demers. That happened a few months before I joined, but I remember the "scandal". I was working in a nightclub that was popular with many Habs players back then. I don't think the KoBros came to our place though, or not often at least.

Only found 110% so far (was Demers already in L'antichambre?):


Bonus: While searching for a Demers video on February 19th 2009, I found another video... remember this?

Wasn't here to live that with you guys but I was watching Antichambre live when it happened. The pay-off was so underwhelming. I thought a player did heavy drugs and killed a toddler or something. In the end it was Hamrlik and the Kost brothers chilling with some mafia dudes. Who the f*** cares. "Darkest day in Habs history" is the Roy trade or the Richard riot, something like that. Not some east-european dudes hanging out with sketchy east-european dudes.

The thread announcing the trade for Scott Gomez was pretty epic also.

The news broke out that Gomez was traded for Higgins and people were upset. Finally a few minutes later it was announced that Ryan McDonagh was part of the trade and all hell broke lose.

There was this game like maybe 12-13 years ago where the habs beat the penguins in a marathon shootout that markov ended.

His celebration went viral here, and it launched a bunch of legendary Photoshops.

Nothing will ever top that thread.

I must have not been on HF boards then cause I don't remember that thread.

This is me defending myself most of the time.. against 10 posters at a time.

It was the origins of plane watching on here. Rumors the plane was circling the airport so as to buy the guys some time.

"I think about Mr. Beliveau *sobs* "

That was the peak of media and fan hysteria related to the Habs. The Darkest Day is never to be duplicated.

Classes knee jerk reaction thread at it's best. Some people said they were done with the Habs after that pick

My first guess was the day Subban was traded. Would that be 2nd?

I miss it. Give me more of that instead of this stale "Yes man'ism" we have today.

That was a big one too. Hossa's gloves. Chara almost beheads Pacioretty...

On the mass EUPHORIA front, playoffs wins VS Boston nothwithstanding, the Kovalev trade was something. On the media side of things that was as excited as I heard Ron Fournier being for the time I did listen to him. And I was over the moon too, f***ing KOVALEV for Jozef Balej and a pick? Amazing. I'm still waiting for somebody to be better than him with us, and I can only now see how that will happen with either Suzuki or KK.

Nothing like contemporary reporting to put you THERE.

To a point I do too. I think hockey doesn't inflame passions as much as it used to here and it won't stop declining. People have other things going on, entertainment-wise, so they don't take it to heart as much as they used to, and I think that is also true for all forms of entertainment, people just spread their interest more so each thing isn't as important anymore.

Looking at the Drouin thread...

It never made sense to acquire this player. He had character issues since the beginning. Some posters mentioned he was a hothead in junior.

We lost a Top 4 LD for that.

If you mean that a Top 2 is implicitly at Top 4, I agree.

I miss 110%. A lot of stuff was face-palming material but it always felt like something important that you had to watch. Entertaining show. L'Antichambre never got to this level because most it was just a bunch of friends agreeing with each other. Whereas 110% was a dog cage and guys were going at it.
