Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

[Krustchev]

Jerry ain't going away, only the good die young, unless his cheap ass sons can pull a coup and put him in a home, he is there for eternity.

As an aside, even you have to be shocked that Barkley isn't hurt yet, this has to be the first season he hasn't gotten injured.

I’m just laughing too hard at the Giants right now.

 

[GEEMAN]

we will never win it all again, I have come to accept it. At least I can remember 6 championships even if I was very young for four of them. Expos died but I switched before they died to SF Giants so at least I have three from 2010-2014.

Cowboys meh, I remember 4.

As the saying goes, you pick your teams by 11 for the most part and let them ruin your mood for 70 years

You and I with 6 cups is fantastic

Leafs fans on their forum have seem playoff failure and maybe in depends for their next cup

We should be closer to the playoffs in a few years as many teams are in rebuild mode soon or are soon to be

Agreed on the next cup , no bueno for many years

Once you’re actually “in the mix” to contend for the Cup, anything can happen.

The thing with football is if you stink for a decade its all on shit ownership/regime

No excuse to be that shit that long with the advantages that the NFL gives you

Yup , Habs need an identity

they are a proud organization that has fallen on Joe Pisarcik/Larry Csonka 1970s times.

As much as it pains me, I can see the Eagles winning it all this year.

Hurts will kill them

Would love to see the Bills win but Mahomes has too much clutch and refs on their side

Those bastards just find a way to win

Detroit or Ravens are legit too

Ogre Campbell will do something stupid and Lions will lose. Henry could carry Baltimore all the way

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Hughes/Gorton/Molson have been working the press in the background. A few days ago, Cuck Wilde was blueskying up a storm that even missing 8 years is "average" for a rebuild. Today Brunet wrote a similar article for LaPresse. How coincidental.

We are being greased that we won't see any meaningful games played in Montreal until 2028

If by "greased" you mean they're telling you the truth then sure.

Your problem is that when the word "rebuild" is mentioned in relation to the Habs, your brain immediately goes to a Bergevin rebuild, which only lasts until the francophone media get fed up and then he gives up and tries to make a wild card spot to save his job.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

no one will ever convince me that a rebuild should take 8 years. I get that is the new coping mechanism but ffs, you and I will be in diapers again before we win a playoff game, let alone a cup.

Jr has already figured none of his favourite teams will ever win in his lifetime

Your own fault for making him a Cowboys fan. You could have just as easily watched the Steve Grogan era Patriots on Channel 5 out of Plattsburgh. By now you'd be a lifelong Pats/Brady fan with all the rings. But instead you insisted on watching Channel 3 out of Burlington every Sunday afternoon with its steady diet of NFC East games.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Not like Hughes has a blank cheque from Geoff. He also didn't sign on never to make the post season during his tenure. If we were to miss 3-5 more years, it means he never made the post season before getting canned. Who wants that on the Curriculum Vitae?

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Cowboys fan like you? If yes, he needn’t worry. NFL rebuilds can be very fast and regardless, he doesn’t live there or grew up there so he can pick a different team if need be.

Nothing happens fast when your octogenarian owner pretends he knows how to run a football team in 2024.

and meant I didnt win shit until 2001 (or 24 yrs after starting to watching). NBC also didn't always cover NE in Plattsburgh, often was Jets

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Bulls, SF Giants, Cowboys and Canadiens.

He won't pick another team, he's 21 so he is hooked like I was by that age

You weren't hooked by the Giants. You adopted them when the Expos were no longer cool. You were a fully grown adult by then, and a lot older than Junior is now. All things are possible.

I'm not really concerned with playoff wins. Cup contender or fuck off

A guy who can just go back to being a highly paid player agent wouldn't give a shit. And Gorton will never be out of a job because of the Old Boys Club

Gastineau and Klecko...and unfortunately Todd at QB

This. 100%

This franchise doesn't hang banners from the rafters that read "PLAYOFF PARTICIPANTS". You either win the Cup or you're a pathetic failure, end of.

Hughes reportedly sold his interest in his business for many, many, many millions of dollars. Aside from some degree of ego gratification, he probably doesn’t give a shit.

I believe Gastineau and Klecko were more early 80s than later 70s, I did like those players, and by 1980 seasons, I was out west so had west coast games more as it was my "region"
