@mattvanp@the_habitant Those players played in an era that had Hasek, Roy, Cujo, Brodeur, Belfour who are all a 1000 times better than today’s goalies. Give me a break
@meloroast@the_habitant I didnt say clutch at all. I said player. How clutch was sakic ? All those guys minus sid played in am era where half that league wouldn't make an ahl team.
@mattvanp@the_habitant Imagine if Habs had a Hoshier or Thomas right now. This series would’ve been over in 5. You need depth not just one superstar who’s trying to do it all on his own
@mattvanp@the_habitant Use Hage, Reinbacher 1st and Dobes let’s say for a Robert Thomas type player. Then you have a deadly one two punch plus all are still young. Instead of getting McDavid. He gets shutdown cuz Habs won’t have a Draistle and the Habs will win shit. It’s easy to stop 1 superstar
@mattvanp@the_habitant 14 plus…..a Robert Thomas type player is better. You keep forgetting that I include another young center. You need your assets to trade for one because none of them ever become free agents. Get that through your ears. It’s like I’m chatting with a fucking wall.
@mattvanp@the_habitant All those players are better than McDavid. Joe Sakic had 8 overtime playoff goals, two championships. McDavid is the flashiest of them all but his play in the 90’s would get stifled back then. The amount of hooking was ridiculous. Rewatch those old Avs vs Detroit games.
@mattvanp@the_habitant Sid is over 40 years old. This teams window to win a championship hasn’t even started and you wanna give up your top prospect for maybe two decent years? This is why Detroit is dog shit. Trade all your assets and go all in too early.
@mattvanp@the_habitant All those players played in the clutch and grab era. McDavid would never be able to skate freely like he does now during that era. You’re obviously too young or too dense to see that.
@meloroast@the_habitant Playoffs need 4 lines and a goalie. Imagine we played with monty right now. Thays the caliber theyve always had. Who do u think made those players better.....97. Simple. U need to give your head a shake
@meloroast@the_habitant 97 hasn't had a team. Him and 29. Use your eyes. Hes the best player to ever lace up skates. FYI u can still have Thomas we have lots of cap room. 97 injured had 6pts . This is insane im arguing that the Habs would be bettwr off with 14 over 97 lol. Youre such a homer
@meloroast@the_habitant Wtf are u on???? 97 is the best player ive legit ever seen. Ever. Suzuki wouldn't even mive the needle for Edmonton. We have a ton of cap space. This has to be the dumbest take ever
