>this fucking anthem
Go blots go
>not a single canadian team in the playoffs
Let's go Habs.
>>66705758
I'm actually pissed the habs couldn't make it in the playoffs. I love Tampa/Montreal series.
BASED CHUCKY!!! ET LEEEE BUUUUTTTTTTT
>>66705815
Injuries man. Killed everything. I love the Habs/Bolts series too
>>66705865
yeah now Tampa has a laundry list of injuries headed into the playoffs. I can live without Stamkos, but Hedman/Stralman both out is soul crushing.
>>66705976
Hedman and Callahan will likely be back for game one. Stralman won't be back until at least the second round.
>>66705976
It won't be easy for you. Carey being out totally killed the Habs. Doesn't help that >our d core went down half way through the season. 15 defence man this season.
Uh ohhhhhhh
Lol Johnson's dead.
EXECUTE THAT MOTHERFUCKER
Yikes. Sorry, eh?
5 minutes? Really? 2 minutes sure. But a 5? No.
ET LE BUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT
Where were you when Johnny was kill?
And then they score, fucking Matt Carle.
>clots in charge of discipline
is every decent player on Tampa dead? come on habs just leave us alone we'll let you win.
Holy fuck this game. Where the fuck was this level of effort all season?
Patches-Chucky-Gally next season Habsbros, gunna be awesome.
>>66706441
As if Therrien is going to let Chucky play more than 16 mins a game. He'll find an excuse to dump Galchenyuk to the 3rd line and get Desharnais back to the
>>66706505
I'm hoping the rumours of MT coming back are bs and MB actually sees what needs to be done and hires someone competent.
>I know it won't happen
>we're destined to suffer and waste Price, Pk, and Patches' primes
>>66706609
MT will be back. There is actually no one to replace him. Thats the only reason he will be back.
Maybe Claude when he gets fired? But that's a scary situation as well.
>>66706609
We're just gonna have to suffer the fucking mind-meld that Therrien has on MB.
Can we just pray that the Avs drop Roy, so that the Habs can have their precious francophone coach who isn't a complete dipshit?
going to go to the publix liquor store
what should i get bros
$15 budget
>>66706743
Canadian Club.
Patches!!! Et Le BUUUUUTTTTTTT!!!
Can Chucky and Patches both hit 30 tonight? Need one more each.
ET LE BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
PATCHES!
Jesus Christ Tampa, what the fuck happened to you?
>>66706725
Av's comfirmed he was staying already. Seriously though, I'd take the ghost of Richard at this point.
>>66706822
Blood clots?
>>66706788
>3rd period
>10s left
>Bolts with an empty net
>Chucky and Patches all alone in the bolts zone
>Pass it back and forth unable to decide who should get their 30th goal.
Et le buuuuuuuuuuutttttt!!!!!! A fucking madman!! 30 for Chucky!!!
ET LE BUUUUUUTTTTTTT
30 FOR CHUCKY
>>66706856
Good news, it'd be Patches now!
>>66706822
Injury
Hey remember when Galchenyuk was apparently on the trade block? Fuck all those people.
Number 1 center the Habs have needed for a long time.
Good Lord. Seems only one team came to play tonight.
I can only hope it gets the boys mad and ready for the playoffs at this point.
>>66706914
Montreal is 3rd in the league with injuries/man games lost. Come on Tampa.
>>66706826
Well that's a bummer. Maybe they'll pull an Edmonton and hire a no-name like Eakins? Maybe that's why they haven't fired MT yet, they're scouting francophone coaches that are starting their minor league playoffs.
just kidding, Therrien has blackmail on MB for job security.
>guys, you sucked ass all year long and you're not going to the playoffs
>oh shit, we better win every game so we don't get a good pick then.
>>66706931
Cooper is being crafty right? Getting the lads motivated and mad for playoffs.
Coach of the Year.
>>66706927
I'm loving this kid. Like I said earlier, Patches-Chucky-Gally is going to be elite next season. MT should be gone just on the basis of not putting them together sooner.
>"no chemistry"
>"Chucky is not a centre"
Fuck him
>>66706955
We don't need a francophone. We need the best coach available. I don't care if he can't even speak.
>>66706986
Montreal doesn't need picks, they need their players healthy and their coach fired.
>>66707002
I believe he isn't fired because MB would feel like an idiot after signing him for four years.
Horrible way to think on MBs part.
LORD BYRON IS FIGHTING! HOLY SHIT THIS GAME!
>>66706954
Literally every relevant player other than Kucherov and Bishop is injured
BASED BYRON
thinking about visiting montreal
is it a nice place?
>>66707081
I agree. I didn't think I would, but I've lost some faith in Bergy
>>66707132
Yeah, you should go it's fun
>>66707049
If only the media and fans would realize this. Weren't the team's most successful coaches purely english speakers to begin with?
>>66707049
>>66707081
If the Montreal market didn't demand that their coach speak french for their press conferences and shit, he would've been fired long ago. Agreed though, best coach possible should be ideal.
Or just a fucking coach who knows to make a team win with a stellar goalie.
>>66707160
I also think there are no good coaches available. Not many agree with me though.
>>66707182
Scotty Bowman speaks french
>>66707248
Point taken.
>parler anglais ITT
dégoûtant
>>66707182
Yup
>>66707218
It's purely for the media at this point for half of the post game. Get a translator
>>66707222
I agree as well, not many out there right now.
>>66707285
I'd be okay with AV, but that's another second chance. Roy would be a god damn disaster.
Boucher is a spaz
Crawford isn't good enough.
Gallant would have been nice
>>66707370
Gallant should not have been let go, but the Panther's success is not because of him.
>>66707370
AV would be alright. Boucher would at least fix up the power play a bit. Even Julien. Gallant would be good too. >We need a coaching overhaul for both the farm and big team. Only Waite should be kept.
>>66707380
They didn't have a choice. But he hasn't had a negative effect like I think MT has on certain players.
They need to get a better special teams coach too. Or just figure it out.
>>66707132
Stick to the touristy places as they're pretty good (e.g. Schwartz, St. Joseph's oratory...etc.). Also don't do that rent-a-bike thing, you'll be walking your bike more often than not due to all the road construction blocking off bike lanes.
Whatever happens in this period, it's been a good season memeing with you Habsbros
>>66707726
At least we know we have pretty good depth on D.
Bob Cole has the comfiest call
>>66707837
He really does. One of the few left with that old timey sound.
>>66707862
Right? I feel like I'm listening to the radio in the 40s when he's doing the call
Well, at least it's not a blowout.
It'd be nice to get it called back in exchange for all the challenges that took away Gally goals early in the season
>>66707925
Not so fast senpai!
Christ this is just salting the wound now isn't it?
So Habsbros, best thing coming out of this season to look forward too next season. Go.
>>66707973
Apparently, I stand corrected.
>>66708011
Chucky at centre
>>66708011
A healed Price.
>>66708023
>>66708031
Seconded. Also, the Patches-Chucky-Gallagher Subban Markov powerplay.
>>66708059
Man, I really miss having PK back there, those based stretch passes are sorely missed
>>66708074
I miss watching him on the rush too. Yeah, he might cough it up now and then, but damn if he can't carry the puck and make shit happen
Ah poop, there goes the shutty.
There we go.
>>66708011
Chucky at centre and depth at defense.
>>66708011
Therrien back
who here /readyfortherivalry/?
>>66708127
boooooooooo
>>66708139
Wongsbros are always fun to meme with.
>>66708123
Defence pairs next season?
Pk- Beaulieu
Markov- Petry
Barberio - Pateryn?
>>66708074
>>66708105
I miss watching Habs games with my buddies and seeing the dread on their faces when someone did a long stretch pass through the zone to a wide open Subban for a one-timer. against their team.
>>66708171
Think they'll drop Gilbert?
>>66708177
I miss living in Montreal and watching Habs games at dive bars while getting hammered
>>66708205
Gilbert is a UFA
>>66708171
If we don't get rid of Emelin, then
Markov - PK
Beaulieu - Petry
Emelin - Barberio
Pateryn 7th
If we do trade Emelin, which I hope we do, Pateryn on bottom pair, Dietz probably 7th, maybe Hanley though.
>>66708205
He's UFA, and will 99.9% sure not to get re-signed.
>>66708257
Pateryn has really empressed me this year. Hits like a truck and is tough as nails. Plus he's cheaper and younger than Emelin.
>>66708257
God I hope they ditch Emelin. He takes the dumbest penalties at critical times.
>>66708315
Lelmelin and his goddamn contract
>>66708333
Ha has played better this year but I agree. It's almost like clockwork once the Habs have things starting to go their way.
>>66708341
>>66708361
Send him to Edmonton for Yakupov lol.
>>66708421
Might as well. What's Yak's contract like? Can't be worse than Emelin.
Well this is the habs we're used to
>>66708451
$2.5 mil a year. RFA in '17-18. Chucky + Yakpuov put back together could start some real magic imo.
>>66708489
We just need Patches to get one more and for the Condon not to break.
>>66708489
Shhh...It'll be over soon.
>>66708519
That would involve breaking up the Patches-Chucky-Gally line though and I wouldn't want to have that happen. That line is magic.
>>66708541
>>66708563
Agreed. Don't want to break that up. But it's a nice option to have in the back pocket. Just in case the offense goes sour.
and if Therrien is back, you know how he likes to line juggle...
Net empty. Come on boys, get it to Patch.
Ayyyyy Patches.
YES!!! Et le Buuuuuuuutttttttttt
Allez,Allez, Allez!!!
That's a nice way to end the season.
Now let's do our best to forget it ever happened.
Well, see you next season Hansbros.
PATCH
Nice way to end this horrible year. See you next season habsbros
There's 30. Good on him.
gg Habsfriends. Sorry >we didn't give you a better game tonight.
Would have liked to see you guys in the post-season again.
>>66708794
See you there next season TampaBro.
>>66708794
gg buddy. Good luck with the post-season. Gonna be a rough one with all the injuries. Hopefully Bishop can carry them for a few wins.
At least we can all be happy that the Leafs finished dead last this season.
>>66708889
Eh, there's the school of thought that >we should have fully committed to the tank after it was clear >we weren't making the post season, I don't subscribe to it but still
>>66708959
Tanking is far too big of a gamble, a really good draft pick doesn't always pan out. I mean McDavid was supposed to be greatest thing since Gretzky and look what happened to him.
>>66708959
I enjoyed watched the magic that was Chucky-Patches instead of the tank. 2 trigger men with Gally rushing the net? Going to be elite.
>>66709019
Yeah that's why I don't believe in it. Also it sucks, I like watching the boys win. However, even though I was the one who started the >tfw habs >tfw no finns meme last offseason, I kinda want one of those meme finns
>>66709019
I'm certain he could have been, unfortunately for him he ended up in Edmonton.
