Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

[Sal_Butera]

Until they play 25 games in a month

Not worried, Habs have pretty much wrapped up a playoff spot - as the month progresses simply call up players from Laval for a 1-2 game stint here & there, while resting some of the vets.

If the Habs take 26-of-50 possible remaining points (13-12), Van would need to go 14-5, and Cgy 15-7 to tie Mtl - Habs would have tiebreaker vs Van.

I don’t foresee either Van or Cgy playing that “out of their minds”

Calgary plays us five more times.

Still only KK and Armia on the covid list.

why is KK still on it?
needs 3 days of negative tests?

 

[Rolex]

I think original league protocol didn’t factor-in variants....so they might be more careful now with variants

I believe MB said 4-days at PC.

MBs “no comment” reply to an Eric Engels question of whether a staff member was potentially infected was interesting...

Burke? Someone else in management?

I'm inclined to believe Bergevin. He's been pretty adamant

Under commit...then every move optically becomes over deliver.

 

[Rolex]

Is there a 14-day quarantine if Bergevin finds us a new owner before trade deadline ?

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Cheap excuse.

Hehe

 

[Habsy]

Meh this was bargain bin. I was thinking Ekholm at that time. It was also before I knew the quarantine period was reduced.

Now if he pulls off an Ekholm type miracle I'll be surprised.

 

[Habsy]

When is the next Habs game anyway?

Tuesday if results Monday afternoon are ok.

Rumored to be vs Edm instead of Sens are presently scheduled

 

[Habsy]

I read they postponed Ottawa to fit Edmonton in also

Look at this ugliness

Rumors at draft were Gainey trying hard to get 1st overall to pick Fleury
