Looks like a green screen. It so still in the background lol
Nope, Laine is a no show most games and plays the game scared.
Hab-nots. They are not good enough. They should stay on the golf course.
This year isn't about making the playoffs. It's about making a jump with the core players, seeing progress up and down the depth chart from prospects in Montreal, Laval and so forth, shedding some more of the lingering MB contracts, and setting themselves up for a draft with loads of draft capital.
no, this team is horrible.
Losers, they build a team for the playoffs. Winners are building for the cup.
the Habs lost over 30 one goal games last year – that means they are ALREADY competitive…. adding Laine and getting a bit more consistency out of Slafkovsky and just 15 more goals from the bottom 6 and …. 20 of those lost games become wins and the Habs are in the playoffs….
People are seriously sleeping on the Habs.
What do you want them to say? They didn't even had a full practice together yet. We don't know the lines yet, is anyone healthy, who are the rookies that are going to play? Of course they are in the mix. At first glance they are better than last season. Is it gonna be enough? Who knows? But they have to play to win, that's the mindset they have to keep
Aaa as a habs fan I am tired of hearing what ifs. Let the season start and we will see. From my observation of last season they have a chance but nothing is yet known
GO Habs
Isn't another way of describing recent history "They are only 4 season away from being in the Cup finals" I think people are really under estimating the internal improvement especially on defence. To me the major issue will be how the goaltending holds up. I am not sold on our tandem but if one of them really steps up, we will be in the hunt by the trade deadline.
I think it would be a huge mistake and disadvantage if you don’t trade your UFAs if you can get a good return for them
arpon bring back the notebook, the people need you
lol, Josh's GF dumped him SO OF course he was a rink rat this past summer, Hope he rebounds big time in 2024/25
Arpon says the habs have not made the playoffs in 4 years….isn't it 3 years? 22,23 and 24? If i remember well we were in the finals in 2021…..just curious.
If I’m going to listen to hockey opinion, I want to hear expert opinions. Not a journalist’s with no hockey background . If you have information from inside the organization, report it. If you’re going to t talk about what it takes to play hockey, or win hockey games, I want to listen to an expert.
To be realistic, an improved Patrick Laine/Slafkovsky wont make a bottom 6 team go to playoff, altough I think they will both score a bit more than the last year and if I had to bet my money on someone to make the habs a bit more competitive it would be Suzuki, who I think that hes gonna push for the point per game season, but thats my opinion.
she cute
Lmao in your dreams, slafbustky and the little men can’t play physical. Good luck team #32 😂😂
They're gonna surprise a lot of teams. They have 3 new players, basically. 2nd line has 2 of em Laine & Dach. Dach is healthy this year he's new plus Laine and Hutson. PP will improve. Solid tandem in nets. Option 1st PP Laine, Caulfield, Slavkosky, Suzuki, Hutson or Matheson. St Louis is going to have so many more options this year. As long as they can stay relatively healthy. They'll be playing meaniful hockey Apr / May.
Habs fan here since 1978 (my kindergarten year). They’ll miss the playoffs for the 4th consecutive year. I just don’t trust Monty and Preems.
Been saying all summer im feeling a bounce back season from anderson 15-20 goals middle 6 forward wiuld be beautiful ♥️💪
Slavkosky is a plumber. As long ad he's top 6 they will always be at the bottom. He chokes his linemates
