Pre-Game Talk: Playoff Discussion .[ MOD warning in the OP ]

[MarkovsKnee]

Actually, he looked his best when... Muller was coaching lmao




1:55 - He's pointing at you.

People's short memory's freaks me out honestly lol

He was playing like that in March. He looked great. I was so happy.

He fell off a cliff in April.

He just looked depressed in May, like someone with a huge cloud over his head.

 

[Tyson]

God hear my prayer....

If there ever was one playoff series that I want to win...its this one.

So sick of these so called experts and their love affair with this Leafs team.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

This looks like an easy sweep for the Leafs. Because the Habs made the playoffs, the GM gets extended. I really hope I'm wrong and the some slackers show up in the playoffs. If not, this will be another mid pick in the first round and unfortunately they don't really pan out for the Habs.

Toffoli - Suzuki - Caufield
Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Anderson - KK - Perry
Lehkonen - Evans - Armia

In playoffs you play your best players, aint no f***ing way Staal should be in our top 12 and in my book he is behind Byron and even Belzile.

I love these lines

 

[Dach Vader]

What's the word on Danault & Weber? Are they going to play game 1?

 

[Scaryprice]

If staal plays im done!

Montreal Canadiens acquire Eric Staal from Buffalo Sabres. Mar. 26, 2021

 

[CHwest]

Losing to the Leafs wouldn't really bother me.

But losing to the Leafs due to poorly managed lineups and coaching would.

Staal has been terrible, and has disappointed even more in the playoffs in the past.

He Should. Not. Play.

The only reason we won a round last year was we handed the team to the youth. Do it again.

Wrong, we won because the Pens desperately wanted to go home.

 

[CHwest]

That Connor goal...THAT is what I remembered from that series.

Good Lord were they slow back then.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

What's the word on Danault & Weber? Are they going to play game 1?

Considering they are already back on the ice, and there is still 1 week left before the playoffs, I would expect both to play game 1.

 

[Treb]

What's the word on Danault & Weber? Are they going to play game 1?

They said Danault, Weber, Price and Gallagher would all be likely "ready".

 

[tazsub3]

Lol does it..?
It explains the slow skating? the bad decisions? The bad passing and the bad icings?

I guess it does explain the horrific shot selections, shot accuracy, and the lack of physicality, I'll give you that

Good thing that uh.. ALL of that will be fixed and good to go by game 1!
Yessssss

Bro i was being sarcastic . I have been going over those points you mention for month. I guess I should have referenced hand injuries and Father Time being related for clarity

Ahem, CC.

 

[dinodebino]

Good Lord were they slow back then.

Yeah! But they were playing in the 2nd OT.

I have some 79 games on dvd and, sure, they're slower. Most of them. Except number 10.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Ahem, CC.

Kid has played some 5 games and he is already a saviour.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Wrong, we won because the Pens desperately wanted to go home.

Actually, they're goaltending really sucked. It's why Murray was traded, and their bottom pairing D of Schultz and Johnson were so bad, they essentially gave the series away.

Price was also freaking good.

 

[No More Subban]

I actually feel more comfortable with the Habs being the underdogs. More pressure on the Leafs. Let's see if they can handle it.

 

[Redux91]

Lmao Trudeau slamming the leafs subtly, that was great

Mark April 12, 2021 as the day Kotkaniemi was broken.

Come on, man. Dino simply corrected you. Own up to it instead of creating a strawman.

 

[SensFactor]

Habs can do this. Just go f*** em up. Win game 1 and the Leafs will start to doubt themselves.

 

[FloJack]

Hated the trade when it was made for this exact reason, one and done with us - and that’s when I thought there was a molecule of gas left in his tank - and to fit him in we screwed around with KKs and Evans development. Let him be the locker room motivational speaker in street clothes

Denis Savard style assistant coach for Staal is the only way to go.

 

[Born in 1909]

Haven't posted in awhile...

For now I will just say...

Go Habs!!

 

[26Mats]

Kid has played some 5 games and he is already a saviour.

This team needs a savior. Whether he's the savior or not, he's the only viable candidate.

 

[The Great Weal]

I don't really care about Weber if I'm being honest. I don't think he's a difference-maker anymore. Let's just hope Gally, Danault and Price are 100%.
