Habs 2026 Playoff thread

I honestly believe that getting exposed in this series by Carolina will be better for us than had we lost "honorably" to Buffalo in seven and then hid behind the "we're close to being there" mantra. Now there's no doubt that we're really not as close as we might have thought and HuGo have a lot more information on what we still need to get there.

We were never that close to truly winning a cup but this year however the conference had no real powerhouse with Florida out

How do you dominate game 1 then look like a fucken AHL team for 3 straight

It’s not like the Canes top players killed us , we can’t even generate a scoring chance FFS

And even on a more immediate level. Losing like that last night, while more frustrating than another OT loss, hopefully drives home the point that we need to do something different.

I don't know the answer to what that is, but I don't get paid millions to figure it out. I trust that Marty has the ability to figure something out. I just hope he realizes that he has to finally change something.

I don't think Hugo ever had any illusions. Otherwise, they would have been way more desperate at the deadline, sacrificing picks for a depth d-man who can play more than 3 mins a game and an aging centre who looks like a 2nd liner if you squint enough.

As you say, this was a great info gathering run for HuGo and great experience for Marty and his players.
