Never expected to make a Stanley Cup final GDT but here we are. Nothing too fancy, I wanted to pay tribute to this run and every playoff series the Habs have played since 93. There is at least 1 picture from every playoff series in this GDT.

Never expected to see les boys in the Stanley Cup Championship round. Feels great.
Good job getting this up so fast! (that's what she said...)

Go Habs

 

[Alexdaman]

So that means we don't have enough time to tank?

 

[OnceWasNot]

Bolts win 6-1, their only victory in the series as the Habs take the next 4.

Your first sentence gave me goosebumps!

Go Habs go!

 

[PuckNorris]

I think the key to this series is which 3rd line performs better.

 

[Riddick412]

Only need to steal one in Tampa, then it's a series. Will be interesting to see the Habs fan ratio. GHG!

Our third line is very touch and go. If they aren't getting quick counter strike offense, they aren't getting an offense.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Yeah!!!!!!!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Picking up where we left off!

 

[Habs10Habs]

Thank you @donghabs98.

Shit just got real boys and girls. The dream has now become the reality. The Islanders showed us that the Bolts are mortal. It's our time now. Time to shock, piss off the hockey world.

GO HABS GO!

How do I fall asleep?

 

[dkd]

Tampa's left D has to be the best in the NHL?

 

[A Loyal Dog]

I'm so scared for this series! Please win!!!

Also, stop being selfish Tampa: you already won last year and again this year with the Bucs! Now f*** off and let others enjoy a win, ya bunch of cap-circumventing cheaters!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Tampa's left D has to be the best in the NHL?

I think so.

And their lineup is ridiculous.

Point has as many goals as our top three goalscorers. Kucherov has the same points as our top two point getters. Vasilevski is an incredible goalie who many consider best in the league... Hedman IS the league's best blueliner.

Price will have to have the series of his life. Phil Danault will have his work cut out for him and I don't know how our forwards get through guys like McD and Hedman. It really is an all star team over there.

[holy]

Oh dear, oh dear, it’s finally here.

Let’s take this one.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Their 3rd d-man on the left side is better than our first lulz.

anyways habs win 18-1 . The only goal is from Vasilevskiy.

100% agree

I think we still get chances, the difference is we’ll be able to beat Vasilevskiy on those. If yes, you can be sure that we have a series.

Point had 14 in 23 last year and 14 in 18 games this year. That’s an insane pace, the guy is shooting for like 30+%. Will be hard to shut him down but at one point you have to expect that he may go cold a bit + Danault’s line on him will hopefully do something.

I’m just scared we get stuck in our zone. Tampa is so creative and they fight for the puck, the second we are stuck it will be hard to leave with their defensemen so effective with the puck.

My Habs are in the f***ing Stanley Cup Final!!!

The key will be zone entries, MTL needs to prevent TBL to set up the offense. I truly believe that Point+Kucherov's performances also have many people forget that their second line has been lethal too. Stamkos and Killorn are not the most mobile wingers ever (esp. Stamkos), maybe the KK line can burn them here but they can be burnt too.

Also their right defense can be exploited : Savard, Rutta, Cernak are all physical D covering for LD who do have better puck moving skills. I hope the Habs can pull this off !

 

[The Great Weal]

My Habs are in the f***ing Stanley Cup Final!!!

Good to see you back man! Got a bunch of us eating crow. This series will be extremely difficult. The key will be to be extremely physical towards Kucherov and Point. Vasilevski is very beatable, and their RHD besides Cernak is nothing noteworthy. Please win, we didn't come all this way for nothing. Go Habs!

 

[Habano]

Habs in 5. Bring it on!
