Habs 2026 Playoff thread

[Rolex]

For me I need a 3 year body of work sample size of workhorse starter minutes and an above average s% and GGA before I anoint anyone a 1G

Goalies are voodoo with too many 1 year wonders

I’d take a Cam Ward playoffs….

Let's just say that Dobeš got hot at the right time and enjoy the ride. We shall see if he can repeat next year. Plus Fowler will get 35 games at least next season.

We both have been very critical of Robidas....

But Habs defense has been pretty good so far...

Pierre Houde and Rejean Tremblay were on Radio-Canada (CBC) tonight, and they both think that Caulfield is either injured, or the intensity of the last few weeks to get his 50th goal took most of his energy away, and now he's tired and trying to keep up

Pierre Houde thinks he'll regroup and be better in round 2

Sole Pens fan on the Pens board. I come in peace to wish you all the best of luck moving forward vs the Sabres, and the rest of the playoffs. This series should be a fun one to watch.

He had 4 points.

Slaf had 3 PP goals. No assists. All in game 1.

Tampa shut down our stars. Suzuki had a few more points but was also mostly shut down 5 on 5.

I agree.....Cole will be effective against Sabres....i expect our first line to be more productive (only if you attend the games in MTL like you did in 1st round)

Still not a fan but a lot of the bad has been brain farts. Can’t blame him for those. The tightened D has dried up the O.

He didn't shrink since the 2021 and 2025 playoffs

Tampa blanketed 14 and 13. Sabres can’t do that.

Buf has scoring depth across top-9, TBay lacked depth
