Winnipeg misses his best player (I would say so) and Dubois is not creating much.

Vegas or Colorado would put way much pressure on Price and Habs D.

But you never know I guess, that's why we watch, haha.

Good luck vs Boston!

Hopefully we could have a habs isles cup final.

I don't like their chances in the third round. Unfortunately both Vegas and Colorado possess alot more options up front then the Jets or Leafs did. Not to mention the D and goalie each of them boast. All in all, they are much better teams and much more developed as a team.

They are but the games are played on the ice and not on paper. While the Habs haven’t faced their kind of attack yet, neither Colorado or Vegas has faced a smothering D like Montreal is playing right now. So if the Habs get there, the games will still have to be played

I get that, you're right, series are won on the ice. But I just worry that with Ducharme continuing to run 4 D, we could see the effects of it start to show on the ice. Especially if this turns into more than a 4-5 game series. LOL I know, im a pessimist.

Do you really think Vegas has a better top 6 than Toronto? Hard disagree there. They're probably a bit better on D and in the net, but otherwise I don't think Vegas is all that great. Karlsson had one fantastic year, but hasn't done anything like that since. I don't think their center depth is good whatsoever, obviously Pacioretty and Stone are pretty elite wingers.

Almost game time... Who wants wings? (Guaranteed Deadpoulet DNA free, no relatives here!)

Agree 100% but we think Stone and Patches are elite ?

Oh I agree with the D usage, I keep going on about it and I sound like a broken record LOL

Maybe if the Habs score 5 I'll send some to the Bell Centre for a nice switch!

Lol a 5 goal game seems somewhat unlikely

Perhaps I oversold the skill level, but will stand by the team's cohesiveness. They have a system and roles, and more importantly everyone is fulfilling them.

what about demelo? he is more important. very under-rated

Stone I'd say for sure, Patches I'd say very good, not quite elite.
