Blah Blah Blah!!!!


win or lose, the Habs have already proven the Northern division was/is right on par with the rest.

They didn't prove anything about the North, which is easily the worst division. They were a minute away from losing a very one-sided game at home and going down 2-1, if not for the colossal misplay by Fleury. Sorry, but the North still sucks.

The fact that Montreal is the one in the final 4 tells you all you need to know how shitty this division really was.

Let's wait for the series to conclude shall we?

But they are up 2-1

Yeah, totally had nothing to do with playing an insane amount of games in a short period time and having a load of injuries. Definitely a complete crap team, as we are seeing in the playoffs.

Yet I bet you ranted all year about how good the North Division was because the Leafs were "dominating" it at the time and Matthews was padding his regular season stats.

The only joke is your team.

nope. sorry, your are incorrect.

You've got some very compelling points.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

It was just one of those things that people so desperately wanted to believe they just bought into it fully. Full denial will be on display however.

The North was probably slightly weaker then a couple of the other divisions. Some Americans around here the way they talked would lead you to believe that it was the minor leagues which was always hilarious to watch. Like it was the first year in NHL history there was strong and weak divisions or something the way people acted on here all season.

4th place team makes it out of East - OK, understandable
3rd place team makes it out of Central - OK, understandable

4th place team makes it out of North - see how weak they were...

 

[Canadian Finn]

Godwin's law needs to be re-written for Matthews.

 

[Mikeaveli]

How exactly did they prove that? Lol

The Montreal Canadiens lead the best of seven series with the Vegas Golden Knights two games to one

...why post on a Hockey Board if you don't watch hockey??...just curious...

 

[CupsOverCash]

Just because the habs are good doesn't mean the rest of the division was good

 

[Xirik]

Montreal getting hot at the right time means that the entire north division is good?

NHL Player: Hey GM! I know that we canucks/Sens/Flames/Oilers sucked pretty badly this year but the Habs are doing good in the playoffs so that means we actually played in a tough division! Please take that in account and give me more money on my new contract.

 

[Ducks in a row]

1 team doesn't prove or disprove anything especially at this time.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Just because the habs are good doesn't mean the rest of the division was good

...yup, we definitely showed that in the regular season...waiting until the last week to make the Playoffs was all a ruse; we play the long game here in Habsville...

One team winning two games doesn't prove anything about an entire division, sorry.

 

[River Meadow]

but... MUH FLEURY BLUNDERED THE GAME

Seems like a team in the North can beat another team in a different division….what does that mean?

Why do you believe that the Habs are the only team in the North division?

Apparently Habs winning = The entire vision is good

 

[Three On Zero]

The top 2 Northern teams were knocked out in hilarious fashion, and a team that barely made it has gone the farthest.
