Louis LeBlanc.

That's it. That's the tweet.

Kreider would have been perfect for our lineup over the last decade. Just perfect. Whether we would have won anything or not. And maybe Price would have stayed in the lineup.

Sam Rosen almost had a coronary calling the last two goals and Dave Maloney was clapping

Gotta think Habs would’ve made the Cup finals in 2014

Gainey/Timmins special.

Leblanc was ranked higher so that is one pick for which I cut Biceps some.slack. Revenant destroyed him.

I still think Edmonton wins this series. But Dallas will crush them.

Oilers are 2-7 vs Cannots this year, expecting them to win 2 in a row is a stretch.

Draft Giroux and Kreider like we were supposed to and it’s a completely different story.

I laugh at how Timmins "wanted" both after the fact. 2003 was just as bad

And Iginla, and Hossa, and Simon Gagne, and Carter yada yada yada

One thing I'm convinced of for sure now...Tocchet is a heluva coach. Canucks play with urgency and passion. And in spite of Petterson clearly not doing so, the rest have bought into whatever Tocchet is selling.

And Miller acquisition from TBay was a steal

Agreed. He's an excellent player. High compete level too.

With Kreider Price doesn't get run and we go to the final in 2014.

we were better than the Kings that year, we probably have 25 but we don't.

but to date had not produced any significant on ice team results

I thought the bar on here was always where the hab player in question would play on a contender? Many on here said that his ceiling was a 3rd liner. Fact is Leky is no 3rd liner on a contender.. I have always liked Leky, strong on the puck, great stick, excellent hockey sense, gritty, heavy shot, plays an excellent 2 way game.. I am not surprise he is doing well.. he isn't doing well because he is playing with elites (lol) .. he doing well because he is a good hockey player that has come into his own..

He was always getting chances with us but lacked finish.

I doubt we win that series. During the Price era we only beat teams over which we had a huge advantage in goal. As soon as we had to play a team with a goalie good enough to make that match-up a wash, we had to get by on the 18 guys in front of Price, who were never good enough. Aside from Price, the Habs were always the 16th best team in any playoff year (when they actually made the playoffs, that is) Next to no offense, mediocre defense, non-existent powerplay. Against the Kings we'd have had no big advantage in goal because of Quick. We'd lose in 5 low scoring, one goal games.

The "Finn who can't finish" was Lehkonen's nickname with the Habs.

They have pretty much been out played in every game but 1.

nah, we were pretty offensive that year if you recall. although the Kings did bend us over in Montreal 6-0 and beat us 2-1 in your favourite city.

However I will go LeafFan re 1993 and say no way that happens in the final, we were on fire and would have won ,No one can prove me wrong
