The Out of Town Thread (Part 47)

[peate]

Surprised? No.

But it's still amazing to see.

Yeah, like a pre-programmed automaton.

[Schooner Guy]

Aho's so freaking good! He does everything. Crazy that he went in the 2nd round!

 

[ahmedou]

 

[peate]

Nice pass Aho. Canes are relentless.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Svechnikov with the hat trick. Those buggers jumped ahead of us in the 2018 draft.

Aho's an absolute post-season beast. We should have gone maximum salary and term on that offer sheet.

 

[Rapala]

Nice pass Aho. Canes are relentless.

The Canes are Svetching out their lead.

 

[SquiddFX]

Those jerks in Carolina are pretty good

 

[Adam Michaels]

Nice pass Aho. Canes are relentless.

They are a real treat to watch. A great combination of skill, hard work, and depth.

Rutherford, Francis, and Waddel could all take credit for building this team because elements of all three of their reigns is on the roster. And Brind'Amour is the kind of coach players will want to go through a wall for.

I am a big fan of them.

All it took was a "Little bit of love."

Aho - Svech is going to be a deadly duo for as long as Aho remains under contract in Raleigh ;-)

Typical Habs luck to roll that 20% or whatever it took not to pick #1 or #2 in the end in the 18 draft.

Rod Bring'L'Amour

Scum Kreider still going dirty.

They were so close to getting the #1 pick in 2016 (Auston Mathews). Imagine getting that #2 in 2018 (Svechnikov). And finally, imagine the Canes not matching the Aho offer sheet.

So in this fantasy almost-world, Habs would have Matthews, Aho, Svechnikov, and Suzuki.

They are better than last year even without Hamilton.

 

[peate]

This is almost hockey overload.

One game barely finishes and another one starts.

 

[Adam Michaels]

The way Rod Brind'Amour has the Canes playing reminds me a lot of Joel Bouchard. Both of them have this way of motivating the players to play relentless hockey. To give the opposition the hardest time, making them earn every inch they get. The only difference is that Carolina has the skill to keep up with the hard work. For Laval, and down the road in Montreal, that skill is on its way.

 

[Rapala]

Scum Kreider still going dirty.

You have to wonder why they kept him and not Hayes.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

We were soooooo close to getting #2 pick and Svechnikov in 2018. What a beast!

Still can't believe some thought Zadina was close

They have a great balance of talent grit heaviness and workhorses, Also a coach who doesn't expect anything out of them other than what he provided game in and game out as a player.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

The Canes have been really impressive so far in both games.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

They were so close to getting the #1 pick in 2016 (Auston Mathews). Imagine getting that #2 in 2018 (Svechnikov). And finally, imagine the Canes not matching the Aho offer sheet.

So in this fantasy almost-world, Habs would have Matthews, Aho, Svechnikov, and Suzuki.

With major forseeable cap problems!

 

[Adam Michaels]

They are better than last year even without Hamilton.

And they went to the Conference Final last year. And this year's team is even deeper this year with the additions of Trotcheck, Skjei, Vatanen, Gardiner, and Dzingel (even if he's not in the line-up now, he is an NHL player who has two 20+ goal seasons).

 

[Adam Michaels]

With major almost-forseeable cap problems!

Fixed.
