Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

[GEEMAN]

Stop moving the goalposts bud. Point is you can win with a very solid top six. Like 6 Suzuki types.

I am not moving any goal posts

Your not winning anything with just a quality top 6

Vegas scored 89 goals last year , their third line destroyed their opposition

Gourde/Coleman / Goodrow killed the Habs

Pitt won the cup with no Letang but a top 9 that was insane , where Phil/Hagman/Bonino were elite

Habs are nowhere near those teams top 9 right now

Who said they are near that right now?

I have no prob with the 22 draft — swung for fences.

23 is what disappointed me. Safe pick on a D

23 was super disappointing but I'll reserve my judgement on Reinbacher. If he ends up being a top2 RHD, I'll be ok with it.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Top 2 RHD would be fantastic. Nothing is for sure , of course, but the Habs are in a position to have one of the best D corps in the league.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Suzuki has been fantastic of late, and that’s partly thanks to Slafkovsky.

No issue with Slafkovsky. He’s gonna be a beast in the O zone. And his size and reach has help in the D zone too.

 

[Krustchev]

And lose a lot of 2-1 games.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Maybe so. But I’ll assume HuGo can walk and chew gum at the same time.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

And lose a lot of 2-1 games.

well with the Russian many here creamed over not coming for 5-6 yrs now, the right choice was made

 

[lecoqsportif]

And the year prior they picked up Slafkovsky, Dach, Mesar, Beck and Hutson by the end of the 2nd round, while dropping Romanov. Then Newhook this year.

Maybe they think about scoring goals too.

The “story” didn’t really confirm that or mention anything concrete, including in regard to him.

just more reason I'm happy we didn't take him

Russian sports portal Sports.Ru posted an article where Nick Bobrov tells his story.

Title: "He brought the Soviet system of efficiency evaluation to America and found Bergeron. Monologue of a Russian scout of the Montreal Canadiens"

“99% of bloggers are talking nonsense “…

Who here is arrogant enough who believe they are the 1% who “know”?

Likely the most negative

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

If the league won't allow them to wear Pride jerseys perhaps they can wear ones with "FUCK BETTMAN AND HOMOPHOBES" across the front.

more virtue signalling that does nothing for the LGBTQIAP++++ community

It is also not a good look to do it on what is Martin Luther King day

 

[wiseguy1]

They agreed to it cause there are no Russians on the team.

I am not following why they are going with sexual orientation for a night. In that case, you could have a night for Asians, Hispanics, like every minority as well. Then what about all the foot fetish people (Count)? I mean, they really shouldn't stop there.

 

[lecoqsportif]

$$$ of course.

 

[xposbrad]

$$$ of course.

Ok lol well we are making the playoffs this year so they'll get even more.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

feet? that is as weird a fetish as wanting the woman to have bush
