The Habs CAN beat any team. That is not a literal translation to they can “win the Cup” or even win more than a round. It means in a 7 game series with their scoring and (recent) goaltending anything is possible. Just see 2010. Cammalleri shot 25% and Halak dropped a .940.

While I would love to jump on the rah-rah bandwagon about "the #Habs can beat any team", the fact remains that #NHLPlayoffs are a different beast all together. IMHO, trying to remain unbiased, they are not (yet) a good playoffs’ team and management knows that. #GoHabsGo (1/3)

Tampa better get used to the Habs and Sabres pushing back on them.
English
This is such a dumb take. It is like saying stop using the butterfly because goalies go down early and use it wrong. The RVH is not the issue, the lack of IQ is the issue. The VH perfectly takes care of these types of shots as does an overlap.

Nobody hates the RVH more than @spetershockey 🤬 Presented by @SIASport

First part was almost 100% correct. Let's hope the second part is 100% incorrect!

2 weeks ago Habs were terrible on first 2 days of the western trip. Everybody panicked about playoffs. They won 3 in a row and playoffs were assured. Lose 2 in a row and everybody is panicking again. This is the Habs. They were never going to cruise in. Not in their DNA yet.
English
You can see why Carolina has good possession stats. They just shoot from everywhere. Teams now generally peel back and look for support. They look east/west for shots. They choose volume over quality. Habs = exact opposite. They pass up good looks to try to find great looks.

@cheefrocka37 @FiresideYankees @JonHeyman No pitcher has ever returned 3 solid MLB players at the time of the deal. The gold standard is what Cleveland got for Colon, but all 3 of those guys were prospects.
English
@FiresideYankees @JonHeyman Why would the Pirates accept that deal? The best young pitcher in the sport should yield at least 3 surefire, solid MLB players. Sending them projects doesn't help.
English
The Yankees tried to make a move at the trade deadline last summer for Paul Skenes, via @JonHeyman
A deal "might have included" a combo of Cam Schlittler, Lagrange, Lombard Jr., and Spencer Jones.
The Pirates never called back.
English
I think they are results based because they don’t understand good process for goalies. And from my experience, goalie coaches aren’t heard to the extent they should be.
English
To solve it, you need somebody who understands goaltending, the variables that make successful ones and allow them to train the model. It’s amazing that it hasn’t happened yet because when you inverse the formula you find the best scorers

NHL goaltending is becoming one of the most volatile, unpredictable positions in all major sports. And as one team exec put it, "Everybody's making bad decisions." Why is this all happening? Inside the NHL's growing goalie crisis: nytimes.com/athletic/71241…

This is just proof that nostalgia by generation is what drives jersey appreciation. And why you should appreciate the Habs who have had the same perfect jersey for essentially 100 years.
Foolish Baseball@FoolishBB
is it a hot take to say they should bring these back
English
@JhanHky @gollum89035427 I tried to get around this by putting synthetic ice in my garage and trained skating and footwork for goaltending. But eventually you need to pay the price through the high end development teams and leagues required to compete. It really is a blocker for the average Canadian.
English
@gollum89035427 and again, this comes back to a fiscal issue - how to most efficiently allocate assets.
English
The term “rebuild” is PR for accepting purposeful losing. The Habs may not be in the Cup window, but the rebuild is over. They were a playoff team in 2025 and have been in a spot all year. Fans have every right to raise their expectation. Missing the playoffs is not an option.

Are #GoHabsGo fans expecting too much from this current edition? @BWildeMTL: "The patience left pretty quickly for a team that is still about 5 years ahead of schedule" #thesickpodcast @MatthewOhayon @StuCowan1
English
Absolutely absurd fuck up by Matheson. You cannot do that shit in a 1-1 tie. The guy is valuable, but he has way too many of those ridiculous plays
English
Does any other team give up as many point shot goals as the Habs? Straight in or not tying a guy up in front?
English
Habs goaltending has been good for the last 5 games. Hopefully they have finally found some stability.
English
It is shocking to watch a team turn neutral scenarios into high end scoring opportunities against. The Habs better start scoring 4-5 goals per game again if they don’t want to fall out of a playoff spot.
English
Yes and no. Compare eras and it isn’t true. Still impressive non-adjusted. But not true.

That moment when you realize Macklin Celebrini is off to a hotter start to his career than Connor McDavid 🤯🔥 (h/t @NHL)
English
Somebody will take a chance on him, but you cannot block roster spots with him any longer. Potential is created from reps and Dach doesn’t get reps because he is perpetually injured.
TSN@TSN_Sports
Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach will miss two to four weeks with an upper-body injury after taking a hit from Anaheim Ducks winger Jeffrey Viel on Sunday. Dach already missed 31 games this season due to a fractured foot sustained in November.
