Post-Game Talk: Easy Breezy... (Panthers 1-6 Habs)

[HabsDood]

No when we missed the playoffs due to losing against the Leafs

I got that but didn't the Isles or Devils bumped the Leafs later that evening on tie breaker or somtn? Or wrong year?

 

[1909]

Missing the Playoffs in the last game vs the Leafs would be AWFUL !

 

[holy]

I am amazed at how short post game discussions are when we win compared to when we lose.

We value loss twice as much as gain. As humans, I mean.

Steve Begin says hi.

I still have nightmares of that game.

What year was that

What year was that

2006-2007.

After 81 games, the East looked like this:

8. Habs 90 points
9. Isles 90 points (Habs owned the tie-breaker over the Isles)
10. Leafs 89 points

Habs were playing the Leafs in their final game of the year. If the Habs win, they were in.

Leafs won in regulation after trailing 5-3. Begin took a stupid four-minute high stick penalty and the Leafs ended up winning 6-5. Habs were out.

Leafs now had 91 points and were in 8th but the Islanders were playing their last game the next day. Isles won in a SO against the Devils and qualified for the playoffs. Leafs were out.

Yup, thaks for the precisions, that's about how I remembered it, the sweet feeling after da deception..

Correct. The islanders won the next day which bumped the Leafs out

If Habs would had beaten Carolina in regulation, they would be ahead of them in the standings today. That would had been a great confidence booster for the rest. Dog fight until the end between CAR, Jackets and Habs. But Habs have one less game to play than the other and the opponents are more dangerous.

Woulda coulda shoulda (You do this a lot lol)

What if the canes lose all their remaining games? its unlikely but it COULD happen, we could win ALL our remaining games, its unlikely, but it COULD happen as well

Same exercise with Columbus

Week and a half ago we were all but eliminated, Now were in a playoff spot, 3 days ago was one of the more devastating losses in our season vs carolina
3 days later we're 1 point behind them.

I am perplexed that Weegar played the rest of the game and no one on the Habs challenged him. Cowards

This is a poor mindset imo.

Retaliation leads to retaliation leads to retaliation, i mean when does it end?

The fight should of ended the cycle that the "hit" created, hell the suspension should of ended the cycle, but the player's unwritten code is an intangible hard to explain, its just unfortunate that that very fight led to another injury, which again, if we follow your mindset, has to be retaliated for..

At least the Lesfs were out too. Better to take your enemy with you so to speak.

I watched every f***ing second of that Isles game. I forget the name of the goalie who was in nets during the SO but I remember his game-winning save.

Ekblad did not had the guts to retaliate vs Domi..... It was easy for Weegles to pound a guy 50 pounds lighter than him.

Ekblad knows Domi is a tough character, piece of $ Weegar knows Byron isn't and took advantage of it.

Plus the Panthers started well... they never had a chance after the fight... It's better way to retaliate from the Habs. Also, maybe Byron, and most certainly the coaches, asked the players to not to retaliate. Loosing players to that kind of game could have costed them the game.

[Corson27]

Also, he had 0 shots on goal, and a +/- of 0.

Baby steps. Next game, hopefully, he'll sustain what he did ring this game (no costly turnovers or stupid penalties), and maybe take a few shots on goal

 

[Corson27]

We're not making the playoffs.

Better draft pick. For this year, that is not an awful consolation prize
