Bring on the Knights

Vegas Knights are nothing more than the spawn of hamsters.

 

[Crapadiens]

At least no B2Bs!

 

[Licentia]

Why do the Knights get such a long break? This should have started Saturday.

More time for our guys to heal, but the Jets series started so quickly after the Leafs one.

It's good for us that Vegas will have a 4 day break. 4 days is the point where teams start to fall out of game shape.

Habs in 6

 

[Crapadiens]

So conflicted

Heart says Habs but head says Shytes

 

[Captain97]

Habs in 6, let's gooooooooo!

 

[Gustave]

Our defense also isn’t as dumb as Colorado’s was in this series. Played hot potato with the puck (except Makar and Toews) and made no effort to adjust and slow Vegas down through the neutral zone.

The Wild really did give us a blue print to keep Vegas in check. And if I can be a bit optimistic, we have a better top 4 and G than the Wild.
We can make something out of this.

Damn, bunch of 9 pm starts. Yuck. Could've been worse I guess but still, if some of these games go to OT or double OT getting up in the morning is gonna be rough lol.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

I'm concerned we have to play at 9pm ET in Vegas and 8pm ET at home.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

He doesn't have to be as good as Price though. He just has to be good enough to stifle our not so great offense. Not going to be easy.

Excuse me, our defense is pretty good.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Excuse me, our defense is pretty good.

You're excused.

I was talking about our offense.

Thank F*** I have an espresso maker

Vegas Knights are nothing more than the spawn of hamsters.

I fart in their general direction.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

True but sometimes he's absolutely lost . There is a reason why they got Lehner and why they tried to trade him last offseason.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

You're excused.

I was talking about our offense.

We can win with the offense we have.

 

[Captain97]

I fart in their general direction.

And their Father's surely smelled of elderberries.

 

[Zorro]

Certainly easier to beat Fleury than Hellebuyck but there won’t be any space for him. They defend really well and are all gigantic.

That's where our big guys come in, who need to create space for him. That being said, his confidence has grown tremendously from one series to the other. He's also super shifty which helps him get out of sticky situations

This was an interesting read and good technical breakdown of our strategy and it's flaws in these playoffs.

Going to be interesting to see how the Knights handle our forecheck and if they can force those odd man rushes the other way.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Maybe... our offense isn't great. Vegas isn't going to be easy to score on.

 

[salbutera]

Wtf, why are all the games so late and why do we not play a Saturday Game unless it goes to 7?

Pacific time (3-hr difference)

 

[FMichael]

I fart in their general direction.

Habs need to bring their farmland animal launching catapult with them to Vegas...Just to be safe.

 

[ItzaGreat]

Next round is going to be so much harder than the last one.

Jets were so bad they made our PP look good.

 

[Jabba11]

Let the world underestimate our team. We don't care. They haven't watched us play. I trust this team to be very competitive and poised. We'll have to rely on a tight defense and be opportunistic up front. We will come out victorious. Win or lose, we support the Montreal Canadiens. Let's go mes tabarnak

 

[Jee]

esti... Reaves, Fleury, Pacioretty and micro-fracture dude... ugh.

 

[Lucky Luke]

We're like the pair of 4's that's gonna win the kitty.

Go Habs Go!
