Montreal is the best team in the league

[BenchBrawl]

Weak division. We've heard the argument. Even taking this into consideration, Montreal is for real. I think they're the best team in the league.

You have a crazy 1-2 RHS/LHS combo of youngsters at center, plus the underrated and steady Danault bringing veteranship to the center line.

You've got a bunch of wingers who bring a bit of everything; Drouin has immense talent, Anderson is a real powerforward, Toffoli is an underrated offensive winger, Gallagher the heart and soul of the forward group, Tatar, etc. No superstar, but deep and varied talents across the board.

You've got an intimidating blueline, build on the generalship of Shea Weber and the smooth skating of Jeff Petry, both underrated defensemen at this point of their career.

And of course, you've got a rock hard goalie combo, led by the widely-recognized-to-be-the-best-goalie-in-the-world Carey Price.

I'm almost disappointed they'll have their best season (and post-season) for decades in what is a really strange and crowdless year, without the exalting ambiance of the Montreal crowd cheering for the oldest franchise in the NHL.

Bro stop

Please stop with the Habs threads. It's getting annoying and only 10 games. I'm very excited too, but it's annoying to see a million Habs threads on the mainboards.

They played 10 games.

5 against Vancouver which is half of them. Petry and toffoli have racked up points against them in the 5 meetings where they scored a total of 28.

come back in 6 weeks and let’s see how good they are not facing the shitty Canucks better yet I think this thread is auto lock.

I think we should cancel the remaining of the season and handle them the cup.

It is not like they ever started hot in the past and then fallen on their faces.

Clear difference, as when this occurred in the past, their lineup didn't compare to what they have right now. Let's be intellectually honest, Montreal is deep and they have a good core of veteran plus some impressive youngsters.

Montreal's good, but IMO Vegas, Colorado, St. Louis, Carolina, Boston, Tampa, and Dallas are just a little bit better. Those seven teams, at least IMO, are the main contenders.

"The Generalship of Shea Weber"

"The exalting ambience of the Montreal crowd"

This better be a troll thread lol.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

I agree.

Habs got the cup in the bag. The season and playoffs are just a formality at this point.

How hard is it to ignore a thread and post in the others?

I claim Montreal is the best team in the league, others might have a different opinion, so they can post theirs in this thread and we can discuss what is the best team in the league.

I agree with this Leafs fan right here. There's no point in further extending this season.

Montreal is rock hard and should have gotten delivered the cup yesterday.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Can you not?
Even habs fans are tired of all these habs threads on the main board

 

[Mackinnonen]

Good? Sure. Best? No way.

 

[Paradise Circus]

Montreal looks good most likely the best team in Canada. How they would fair against the avalanche, knights, Bruins, lightning is another question.

 

[North Man]

They got shutout by the Flames who are admittedly not great. You've played 5 against VanC who are a bottom 10 team. You've played twice against the Oilers who can't defend.

Shut up.

Awesome thread. Great team. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on their continued progress with any new progress pics or highlight clips. Show us what the Habs got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight they can get. Thanks for the motivation.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Plan the Covid parade. Fastest team to be awarded the cup in 10 games.

 

[MattySnipes]

As soon as I saw Bergevin beautiful flow he grew out, I knew Habs were due to win the Cup. With this start now, its only reinforced it.

To top it off, Toffoli is playing like Gretzky. Just shooting the lights out. Sorry, shooting Vancouver's lights out.

Congrats to Weber on 1000. Dunno if I mentioned it.

 

[Jumptheshark]

We need more hab threads on this board. 6 just ain't enough

 

[VainGretzky]

Not the first time in recent history the Habs have started out of the gates strong only to have reality set in

 

[ItWasJustified]

Personally, I'll wait until June to decide what the best team in the league is.

It doesn’t have anything to do with ignoring the thread. As a Habs fan, the next time we have a debate with somebody in a main thread, a bunch of people will jump in grouping us all together saying “Habs fans said this” referring to a post that someone made like this.
