Price was the #3 of his era after Crosby and Ovi.
No way, he was ahead of both, and Gretzky, Orr, Howe while we're at it.Price was the #3 of his era after Crosby and Ovi.
I'll hear it for Malkin and Kane but there's no argument for #5. I have him at 3.Price was the #3 of his era after Crosby and Ovi.
All even bigger loser franchisesWhy are other fans bashing Hab fans? the thread wasnt even made by Habs fan nor is any hab fan gloating about this.
It states cap era, 2005-6/2023-24.Poster chose after all the rule changes and lockout, and OP also mentioned since cap introduced, even though 2005 there was no cup awarded, because of lockout.
It's a coping mechanism for unintelligent people, just ignore them.Why wouldn’t it count?
it was a gimmick to try and re-coop lost revenue.Why wouldn’t it count?
In a 32 team league, there will always be at least one team that has gone 31 years without…so they technically can’t even be given grief until next next year…That's nice and all but it's been 30 years, how much longer will you be generously leaving cups for other teams?
I guess you don't understand the definition of the word "fact." Feel free to google it sometime.It wasn't lol. Montreal was shit in 19-20 and shit in 21-22. 20-21? They were a shit team that wouldn't have made the playoffs under normal conferences. That's a fact. They then rode Price and Weber having probably the best hockey of their careers to the SCFs.
But I guess you gotta pretend they were a decent team to justify that they're easily the worst SCF team in the cap era, if not much longer.
Vegas was no pathetic team to go through in the playoffs.I'm saying they're not good because they weren't good. This isn't difficult to understand.
They were a mediocre team that benefitted from playing in a shit division under rules that didn't apply in a normal season.
Ya that’s what I said in the quote you posted.It states cap era, 2005-6/2023-24.
Gallagher a high-end player? In the AHL, sure. A 5’9 winger with a career high of 54 points is not a high-end player.The habs played a defensive style of hockey common with many teams in that era
They had Pacioretty, Subban and Gallagher who were high end players
No, that’s it. Subban and Markov. You had other serviceable defensemen like Emelin, Petry, Jorges, and Gill but those weren’t very nice defensemen.Had markov, and a couple other nice D-man at that time
2011 Bruins had Bergeron, Chara, Marchand, Krejci, Lucic, Horton, Wheeler, and Seguin. That’s way more talent than any recent Montreal team ever iced. Seguin, Wheeler, and Marchand would go on to become better offensively than any of our forwards since Mats Naslund.The Habs were missing a better 1C but on paper they tried to emulate the 2011 Bruins team by being a deep, defensive and physical (not as physical as bruins still) team who had great goalies (price wasnt able to reach 2011 thomas level)
I think alot of those 10 playoffs series wins were in underdog roles as well:
2010: Washington and Pittsburgh
2011: Boston
2014: Boston
2020: Pittsburgh
2021: Toronto, Vegas
That's 70% of the playoff series wins right there and if you go back like 5 years prior to 2005 you will find another couple of huge upsets as well.
Two of those were coming back from 3-1 deficits too (Washington and Toronto) and if we could go back one more year we did the same versus Boston in 2004.
I guess you don't understand the definition of the word "fact." Feel free to google it sometime.
Why? Teams in California and NY have a similarly excessive tax burden. I think Chicago and DC as well. No shortage of success from those teams in the last 20 years.Hard for Canadian teams to compete.
Dude we had a bottom 5 roster and pissed on everybody on our way to the cup final , how can you possibly chirp us for that? We made the Leafs Jets and Vegas look like some rinky dinky teams , are you delusional? Literally a free stanley cup run with a dogmeat team and we are supposed to be mad or disappointed in that or something?I guess facts hurt your feelings. They were 10th among Eastern Conference teams.
