I don't agree with the Ovi hate, but that's just me I guess. He's about to have his team on the cusp of a ECF appearance. One that will be very winnable against Tampa IMO.
- Habsolute009

I actually like Ovi and think he works harder than a lot of people realize. That said the stigma is that he doesn't.

He's 6'7 and he barely moves to make a save. If he didn't have his size he would be nothing.

Kinda like the Habs without Price?

You're lazy, but you're on a record setting pace in these forums. It's doable.
- ehabs9

Of course I'm lazy. I blame Therrien.

Sadly, probably not... I dont see MB making any real moves.

I expect to see Galchenyuk get a 2 yr bridge deal and Beaulieu will probably get a 5 year deal. Tinordi may or may not be with the team; doesn't really matter. Petry will probably jump ship for a bigger offer somewhere or go to a team like NYI or Pitt. MT will still be here and so will all those ancient d-men that we have on the roster...

I think we could see a big move or two if they're there. He's not going to break the bank to make a splash though.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him try and get someone out of Edmonton.

...but he does make saves. Well I guess they'll keep him in net then.

Ovechkin is on pace to be one of the greatest goal scorers in NHL history with hardware to spare...but he's lazy.

Got it!
- AdamFrench

better than a point per game in regular season over his career and a point per game in the playoffs over his career, he sucks

So the Habs just lost a goalie duel where they dominated possession. In what world do we live?

Yeah, but he's cheating. Being big and all that. Not cool Ben, not cool.

What would you guys prefer? Bergevin trading for a proven scorer or trading for a top 5 draft pick and picking one of the offensive players like Marner, Strome, etc?

uhhhhhh
- Pickle

Ok ill spell it out for you.

Habs = Has a great goalie and plays sound defense
Relied heavily on Price throughout the year, since offense was lacking.

Habs run into a team with equal or better goaltending. Fails to score because of poopty offense.
Is that a little easier?

See St.louis playoffs for past 3 yrs.

But his +/- was bad one year and there is a gif with him quitting on a play with clever editing!
- AdamFrench

You are ovechkin's lana

The offseason will be... interesting.

Sharp should be available and not crazy expensive. He would be a good fit in Montreal. imo.

Where are all those experts that said the Habs were over-rated and had a good goalie and not much else?

Oh ya, admitting they were right.

Yeah, but he's cheating. Being big and all that. Not cool Ben, not cool.

Can't believe the Habs did not sign Jason Missiaen.

Or Yao Ming

Yeah, agreed.


And the Habs will have plenty of spare parts to deal.

You're my Lada. I ride you all night long to Togliatti.

Yeah, agreed.

They have quantity to deal from, not quality. If the right trading partner needs enough pieces then they might be able to do something of substance

Was Therrien crying during his presser?
