2024 NHL Playoffs Thread

gave us a 1st for 5 games
Having been a diehard Expos fan, I feel for Jets fans, , too many parallels, this was the year to provide hope by having a deep playoff run - the team reminds me of the Expos Team of the 80s; great talent throughout the lineup, outstanding amateur player procurement & development, good management, but missing that player “with hair on his ass” as Duke Snider used to say

Or as you say Count, “didn’t we almost have it all”…

Winter-pegs gonna lose their hockey team.. a real shame

They had one more shot at having a team than Expos fans did.
 
25-32 based on following Jets / other teams scenarios:

- Win Cup, 32 (+Habs get a 2027 3rd)

- SCF, 31

- Reach WCF and one of NYR, DAL, CAR are not there, 30

- Reach WCF and all of NYR, DAL, CAR are there, 29

- Lose before WCF, 28

- Lose before WCF and another one of NYR, DAL, CAR doesn't make the final-4, 27


- Lose before WCF and another two of NYR, DAL, CAR doesn't make the final-4, 26

- Lose before WCF and none of NYR, DAL, CAR make the final-4, 25
So Habs end up w 27-28 OA pick

27 if VGK win their series

BTW - from today’s 32 Thoughts, NBA is expected to announce they are adding 2-teams including Seattle. Kraken ownership are very concerned about taking a backseat in the city’s sports scene and Ron Francis has been given a mandate to be very aggressive this summer towards establishing a winning franchise

Wonder if Dundon got news of that info and doesn’t want to enter a bidding war - since he is afterall running the Canes like a hedge fund w all moves being analytically orchestrated by Tulsky

Dundon will never pay top $ for any player, coach or manager
