Habs 2025 Offseason

[worm]

I'm not sure that worked as much as us not finishing the chances we had.

Don't get me wrong, I want the Habs to get bigger but I don't feel we got pushed around as much as I feared. Certainly not as much as playoffs past.

Outside of the first two periods of the series I didn't see much

And most of that was the young Habs getting a crash course in playoff pace and rule book

So that's why he was skating slower

And why he didn’t have the physical wherewithal to prevent an OT icing in game 1.

He was crosschecked.

Armia played with a broken arm & Gallagher with broken ribs

Laine meant his finger between his legs

 

[Habsy]

I suddenly feel bad for his wife

pfft

Play heavy. He’s a big dude.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Armia said he told HuGo he’s willing to take a discount he really wants to stay

 

[lecoqsportif]

Has to be reduced role too.

 

[Habsy]

Armia has his uses but will be a progress stopper. Need a heavy fourth line and Armia is just not mean enough for his size.

 

[lecoqsportif]

13th forward.

How more reduced can it be?

 

[Sal_Butera]

Armia doesn’t have to be mean if the other winger is - just needs to use his big body for puck protection & win board battles which he did effectively all year till he broke his arm

 

[lecoqsportif]

How more reduced can it be?

See above.

 

[GrandWazoo]

I'm fine with Armia/Kapanen be the 12/13th forwards

 

[lecoqsportif]

But would good to give Xhekaj the Younger and Beck their shots.
