HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

Is it possible to short a hockey franchise?

 

[vokiel]

Montgomery keeps delivering.

(thx to Koivu11 for the last gif)

Looking like Claude Julien, maybe it's a Bruins thing.

Only if it's publicly traded, which I think is not something the league allows.

I know, it was a joke

Call them the Salt Lake City Sinners. Somebody would get their panties in a bunch

Kinda rolls off the tongue tho. … like Bay City Rollers.

I saw some BOS fans shootings strays "Subban and Markov [are to blame for] setting the tone in the playoffs with their embellishment". WTF! Once BOS loses this season's cycle is complete: all our enemies will have had their hearts broken.

I was watching the Nucks - Oilers game yesterday and Bouchard is hands down the Oilers best dman and not only offensively but defensively it's between him and Ekholm. The other guys can't get the puck out of the zone. Ceci is awful.

Another D that plays well is Desharnais. His determination to go from an ECHL player to a very good 5/6 Dman is commendable

Its time to f***ing destroy this franchise. Knock their 1st into the back of the non playoff teams this year, make them ineligible to win the lottery for a 5 year period, hand them a massive fine, and force them to forfeit their first in one of the upcoming 3 drafts.

f*** these guys. This is two incidents after Aldrich.

Is it a coincidence that as soon as Nichushkin goes out that the team collectively plays terrible and has no energy. Was he the one responsible for ''bringing the energy'' ?

Nah, the NHL will just punish the sens

It's insane that Ottawa was the one who had to forfeit one of their 1st for Vegas fiasco in trading Dadonov just because nobody asked him about his no trade list...

Hockey fans like to shoot from the hip and get hysterical/emotional when it comes to social commentary but the CHI sexual assault claims that came up today seem unlikely to lead anywhere for the simple reason the accused party had no formal connection to the CHI organization.

Still waiting on the other player who came forward to charge their organization with sexual assault allegations.

gotta give her credit, she picked a good target. Forget that there is no one left from the organization from 14 years ago, the jersey is still the same.

Yeah... whatever statement Chicago comes out with should be taken with a massive grain of salt. "Zero tolerance policy" is rich coming from them lmao.

Leafs of the West. Overly reliant on their superstars and powerplay.

Difference though is their superstars actually deliver in the playoffs. Their depth tho…yeeesh… just like the Leafs.

I'm happy for Pickard. After Boeser scored, they showed his parents in the stands and it looked like his mom was about to cry. I'm sure they're over joyed now.

Oilers need to stick with him. He was steady. He finished with a .905 save percentage. Skinner was doing .775 lol

If Skinner was able to provide league average goaltending, this would had been a sweep or at least a 3-1 series lead.

 

[Scintillating10]

Imagine going from Kakkalainen to Bergevin.

If I'm a BJs fan, I'd jump off a bridge.

Bergs going to Colombus. I figured he'd get another job. Got team to finals vast majority can't do it. 32 jobs, odds good he lands another GM site. .

Bergs smart enough to build good defense. Most goals come off east-west passes and screened goalie. Big heavy defense can shut most that down in playoffs.

Had the future Blueline stacked with Guhle, Wifi, Romanov, and Mailloux. That front 4 good as it gets someday.

This chowder head we got now traded Romanov, first pairing young D nothing back so far. Traded 36 goal scorer in Toffoli nothing back. Traded Lekhonen got took to cleaners on that trade. Those 3 high end pieces all we got is injury prone or junk.

Oilers were trying to find hot goalie

Bergevin would be fine for Columbus. They wouldn't win a cup but he'd have no trouble handing out big contracts to mediocre players and squeak into the playoffs like the Islanders.

They won't ever attract the talent needed for a cup anyways.
