HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[Mrb1p]

sick sick sick sick sick
Danault -3 and 25% on draws in the first.

Ouch.

Took long enough but I finally get my I told you so moment

NYI are desperate for LD. I think they're a good target for a Harris trade. I would love to get their #18 OA pick.

Probably trade up from Jets pick.

 

[Mrb1p]

There's just no contest in that EDM LA playoff.

 

[26Mats]

Probably up from Jets pick.

That would be great. To move from 23/24 to 18 by giving up Harris, Struble or Barron.

Then getting into the top 14 by giving up another one of that trio could be great move. It seems like the top 14 are very strong.

Took long enough but I finally get my I told you so moment

Yeah, Danault sucksssss

L.A.'s one of those teams that looks incredible on paper and then you realize how porous their defense is and you wonder how they even made the playoffs.

They're gonna be sick in a few years though if they can get a D core going. That dumbass Dubois trade really set them back a few years though (not that involved any D, but it was a misuse of assets and made them a worse team.)

I don't have much confidence in Clarke and he's basically their only D prospect besides Spence who looks OK.

When 34-year-old Drew Doughty and Vladislav Gavrikov are the top 2 D on your depth chart its time to make some moves.

Too bad they had to give up Brock Faber for Fiala

I’m hoping Isles get bounced quick, potentially opening up a possibility Uncle Lou deals his 1st rounder (in the 18OA neighborhood) for a couple of young Habs Dman to help push offense from D? Barron + Harris?

I wonder if Lamoriello wouldn't be more inclined to deal away the future if the Isles made it out of the 1st round and were competitive in the 2nd round?

 

[Rapala]

What a dumb ass goal to give up.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Oooh. That was punched in

 

[26Mats]

My boy Jarvis is now an elite winger. The Canes have a hell of a top 4 on the offense.

Love me some Hertl. Big guy with the softest touch around the net.

They have an insane team.

Vegas on paper:

Barbachev - Eichel - Marchessault
Stone - Hertl - Karlsson
Roy - Stephenson -Mantha

Theodore - Pietrangelo
Hanafin

Pretty good top 9 and top 3 D.

 

[Rapala]

How did he even do that with his eyes closed.

 

[le_sean]

That’s a good goal come on

 

[Rapala]

I didn't realize Ryan McLeod was that fast.

Harris or Struble. BUT, they're our best hope to make the conference finals out the Atlantic bracket of the two team below the Jets in the standings (NYI, Washington). So hopefully they can win this series. Were up 3-2 with 2:15 left in the 3rd tonight

Apparently nothing will be done about teams like Vegas/Tampa circumventing the cap until the new CBA.

I don't know when that's gonna be, but whenever we become contenders we absolutely needs to do something like that if the new CBA hasn't been signed yet. Gotta fight fire with fire.

Hard to disappear when he never actually showed up to begin with

That's ok - When we are good in a couple years we can also take advantage of it ourselves since we are injured all the time.

Vegas wins 4-3. Dallas needs a far better performance from Oettinger. Knights had 15 shots! 15! They scored 4 goals. Unbelievable.

Dallas doubled them up, 30-15 in shots.

 

[Rozz]

I wasn't able to catch the games tonight, so a huge thanks to all those keeping us updated in this thread!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oilers up 5-2. If I recall correctly, this series tends to be a homer one anyway. We'll see what happens in LA.

I'm going to bed. Kings aren't coming back.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

hat trick for Hymie!!! attaboy. what a career he's having post-Toronto

Kings are simply outmatched by the Oilers as they have been the last 2 times.

They're not that bad of a team but they've had no answer for the Oilers firepower and it's a horrible matchup for them. They need a Brodin/Tanev type foothold on D desperately. Doughty is still a sick player but he's old and has no support.

 

[the valiant effort]

I mean who doesn’t score game one hat tricks on McDavid’s wing? #HymanBadMan
