Race is on for the season to end and not a moment too soon. Here we are with only 2 games left after tonight's Fig match up.

It feels like long ago when the Habs were able to count on their dynamic duo. That Cole and Nick bromance provided a lot of levity.

Instead of that, we have had a season that has felt like a long, slow climb to a place that nobody wanted to go to.

To navigate through it all, we've had the recurring expert prognostications and permutations of forum ninja, @Adam Michaels, who explained his methodology in his exciting new book:

Which, on most nights, with all the moving parts involved, felt something like this:

It also means getting near the end of the road for some characters in this saga, who are not likely to return next season.

For this one other player who has disappeared from the Habs entourage but who is still on the Habs' payroll, that too shall pass ...

Of course, the season was not without its annoying accessories like the retro reverse jersey and what it ultimately embodied ...

That retro reverse jersey unfortunately, did not come alone. It also included the return of a disturbing mascot that no one asked for and that most hoped might be highly flammable ...

Some real exciting bright spots emerged, having us look forward to next season with a healthy dose of excitement.

This guy showed us what it's like to have a high IQ, third line center as a difference maker. Too bad he wasn't healthy enough for the season.

Slaf's first season in the league was not without challenges, as one would expect for an 18-year old unaccustomed to the North American game.

MRoMWFh.png


One highly skeptical poster felt that he emitted strange vibes ...

oZYDrI5.gif


The Pezz emerged as quite the entertainer.

pFPBfrO.gif



Also, what we thought was a Powerhorse ...


qHFb7B4.gif


Ended up looking like anything but, in a lot of games ...

Speaking of horses, Hughes will have to grapple with this guy, if he's going to make an anticipated big acquisition this summer.

OkGPq2p.jpg


And that might finally set this player free to return home.

OGZaGra.jpg



This other guy predictably kept falling apart, like the proverbial broken animatronics at Chuck E. Cheese's, as one of our posters aptly put it.

5LyZVzr.png



We're still inexplicably stuck with this guy ...

GVNO6Mw.jpg


Nobody's been able to figure out how he still has a job.

cVOlZdZ.gif


Nor what the thing on top of his scalp, really is.

Marty did his share to help some marginal talents look better for the trading deadline even if, no one bit on the Hoff.

HGmP47S.gif


Perhaps the season might best be summarized by this gif, that we stole from @ArtPeur's iCloud account ...

QNbMDfr.gif


Oh, and about the Leafs tonight ... here's hoping @sampollock can come up with a few more Leaf monikers.

GO HABS GO!

But also, for a lot of what transpired this season ...

Definitely planning on catching this one (I swear this time! :P ), but it depends on how tired I'll be coming from the beach tonight. Might sleep in tomorrow.

Runner’s GDTs is the ONLY thing I am going to miss about this season. Legendary!

I don’t even give a f*** anymore whether this team wins or loses. They f***ed up their chance to draft a franchise player like they f*** is everything else they do.

I hope he considers working on a LDT and then a DDT. :naughty:

The caps were skating around lifelessly.

Nothing should be read into Armia's hat trick and Gallagher continuing his hot streak of scoring against bad teams. They'll have to do that against a good team in a meaningful game for it to mean anything.

Unfortunately for us this is a easy win tonight
Any news on who's sitting for the Leafs?
