@earboyq Thats funny, I'm pretty active on X and I've never seen these randoms accounts. Probably bandwagoners tbh. Dobson was not great but he was hurt. He was kinda good against Buffalo.
Unbelievable season for the Habs, team is clearly ascendant.
And yet the key difference makers for Carolina are just as young as Montreal’s best guys, + the margin between the 2 teams was massive.
A season of progress that also underlined the massive distance still to travel.
@mmaowns Blake, Stankoven, Miller, Jarvis, Svech all U26. Their young core is just as youthful as MTL’s even if their team is older/more veteran overall.
@FDaniels86@rocketjr12345@bigheadhcky Disagree. Tampa were trailing for the entire series. Recency bias for game 6 and 7, you should watch back game 1 through 5. Idem for Buffalo.
@rocketjr12345@bigheadhcky Wording was super unclear there, sorry - meant in any of their full series
• Tampa looked better overall, especially down the stretch
• Buffalo looked better overall, especially down the stretch
• Carolina looks better overall, especially down the stretch
Don't think the people want to hear this but the 2026 Montreal Canadiens look like the worst team to make the conference finals this decade.
Young core is gonna to be great but it's nuts they haven't looked like the better team once this playoffs
@ColeCaufieldFan@BascoScenario@IcePick57 Come on, Leafs fans take it the worst, Habs fans get a pass because everyone hates the Leafs. Truth is, the Habs fanbase has been obnoxiously picking fights with other fanbases since they’ve stated to become successful again, and now want to play the victim.
Yep it was tripping anyone trying to say it was diving are retarded and do not know what is to play the game and step on a stick while accelerating. You can easily fall by skating on a gun rapper.
@cadmiumfalcon@BascoScenario@IcePick57 The reputation is uncalled for; the truth is people are mad at the habs because it a big fanbase that is now becoming successful. People are just hating to farm engagement, its the internet. Hutson is not a diver at all.
@BascoScenario@IcePick57 He got called for 1, but the refs look at video. If they see him doing it on replays often enough that’s where the reputation comes from. Not saying that’s true but 1 embellishment call might mean he has a more where the ref gave him the benefit of the doubt and looked bad.
@riddlermemes@freedjpc@booommac Easy to say that when its the first series with everyone rested, habs would have probably beat Carolina if it was a 1st round matchup
@freedjpc@booommac Cause the Habs are fraudulent. Their centre depth is bottom 3 in the nhl. Sens got swept but id like to think they were 10x better at creating and preventing chances
@DavidCastilloAC Habs fan here butI disagree:
Game 1 - Buffalo were the better team but not by much;
Game 2 - All Habs
Game 3 - All Habs
Game 4 - Habs didn't capitalise on their chances + weird bounce for Buffalo tying goal
Game 5 - Even if I remember
Game 6: All Buffalo
Game 7: Edge to Buffalo
Sucks for Buffalo. I felt like they were the better team, not just in this game, but in the series. With enough trade deadline juice they might have pushed through. Still, Buffalo vs. Montreal delivered on the whole, which is more than can be said for most of these series so far.
People saying he didn’t push his glove in with his stick are morons. It clearly pushed his glove in just enough. Can’t call that a goal. It doesn’t cross the line without that push. It barely did with the push. They got it right shut the fuck up.
If you’re a glass half full person, you can say all the Sabres best players (besides Benson) got their terrible game out of the way tonight.
If you’re a glass half empty person, the Sabres lost home ice and Montreal’s top line hasn’t contributed yet.
@EricEngels Not the smartest move long term for Juraj, guy was flash KO'd twice in 3 games..long term health should be considered to avoid a Lindros. But its the playoffs and i get it. He'll have the summer to recover right? RIGHT?!?!
Both Josh Anderson and Juraj Slafkovsky finished last night's game despite leavng at different points. Asked Martin St. Louis if both are guaranteed to be available to play Game 5, and he says he has no indication they wouldn't be. Expect them to play.
