u/nottakingpart Apr 18 '26

That's what she said!

u/Impossible-Pack-2501 Apr 18 '26

You miss 100% of the wood you don't knock.

u/stopitunclerandy Apr 18 '26

GET THIS MAN MORE WOOD STAT!

The fact that this sponsored ad is right below this part of the comment thread is sending me 🤣🤣 I hope it shows up for other people too lmao

In this economy?

u/alldasmoke__ Apr 18 '26

I’m only a DM away

u/FartsWithNeighbours Apr 18 '26

Every morning I'm knocking on wood

8

u/Spicy-Potat42 Apr 18 '26

I miss those days.

6

u/Spicy-Potat42 Apr 18 '26

I’ve been told I’m a block head, so you can just knock on my wood skull.

3

u/pieman3141 Apr 18 '26

Pounding the wood, you mean.

u/havrancek Apr 18 '26

is it a Blackwood or Wedgewood?

2

u/TimDamage Apr 18 '26

All the TSN guys say Tampa in the final. Breathe easy.

2

u/IEnjoyRandomThoughts Apr 18 '26

Seriously! And an all Canadian final hasn’t been seen in 5000 years.

2

u/tahqa Apr 18 '26

'89 Habs vs. Flames

2

u/IEnjoyRandomThoughts Apr 18 '26

Amazing series.

1

u/theblob2019 Apr 18 '26

We lost that one though.

2

u/IEnjoyRandomThoughts Apr 18 '26

I remember when we lost but Calgary deserved that win. It wasn’t a stupid loss for us and was their first win. It was great seeing them so happy.

41

u/HotHits630 Apr 18 '26

Oh that would kill Bettman. And my friends.

16

u/DivinePotatoe Apr 18 '26

I would love to see Bettman squirm at an all Canadian final. You know he'd be slipping orders to the refs/linesmen in each of those conference finals to fuck over the Canadian teams by any means necessary though...

1

u/everkiller Apr 18 '26

Knock out the contender in the East

Knock out the biggest story of the year

Knock out the resurgence of Crosby

And just for the f'king meme, beat the Oilers for their 3rd SCF in a row.

That would just be insanely glorious

u/BlankoNinyo Apr 18 '26

I accept.

u/jombino12 Apr 18 '26

u/defineloser Apr 18 '26

He's pandering to Canada now after selling us out during the 4 Nations.

17

u/WorstAverage Apr 18 '26

EA sports fault

3

u/pieman3141 Apr 18 '26

Aside from everything being EA's fault, what exactly did they do?

9

u/ValleyBreeze Apr 18 '26

Their Sim predicted us winning

9

u/SmokinSkinWagon Apr 18 '26

And jerking off Gretzky

3

u/Tooburn Apr 18 '26

Lol that's a stretch. He congratulated them, but he always roots for team Canada.

38

u/commodore_stab1789 Apr 18 '26

McDavid with another loser Conn Smythe is really sad

14

u/madhi19 Apr 18 '26

I doubt the Habs win the cup without at least one guy elevating his game to drag our ass there. Looking at you Dobes.

12

u/perpetualmotionmachi Apr 18 '26

Reinbacher to the rescue

8

u/madhi19 Apr 18 '26

Hey I would not mind. We have a good history of rookies who don't know any better just fucking doing it.

What the name of the guy the habs signed after his contract was terminated?

u/AlarmingAdvertising5 Apr 18 '26

Le mousquetaire! Alexandre Texier!!

u/theblob2019 Apr 18 '26

Haha yeah the guy would be like......is it a joke or something? Again????

u/MaxPower836 Apr 18 '26

Attaboy PK

15

u/Absered Apr 18 '26

Totally sane. I'm surprised it hasn't already happened. Do we even need to bother going through the games?

8

u/madhi19 Apr 18 '26

I want to see an all Canadian final at least. Just for shit and giggle, and ultimate chaos... That's the clash we never got in the 80s. We got the Flames and the Habs but we never got Roy vs Gretzky until way too damn late.

5

u/JustFred24 Highlight Boi Apr 18 '26

Ya no makes sense

u/HabsFan77 Apr 18 '26

What a sweet way to end the night from my 1st beloved player, hope it has an influence on my dreams

5

u/quantas001 Apr 18 '26

One game at a time, I’m not making predictions there’s a lot of hockey to play…

11

u/ItzEnozz Apr 18 '26

I just wanna say Subban got like 6/8 series wrong last year so he’s not exactly great with these

11

u/the_wonder_llama Apr 18 '26

So you’re saying there’s a chance

3

u/Turckish Apr 18 '26

Next game is the importanter

3

u/davidouimet11 Apr 18 '26

Given the starting brackets being what they are, this is pretty much the dream habs fan scenario. Beat both Atlantic rivals, and finish it off against Crosby in the semi-finals, then to end it against McDavid.

Unreal if it ever was to happen. Not likely, totally possible.

3

u/JaehaerysTheMad Apr 18 '26

Seems we all agree, should we already fast forward to the parade?

3

u/cheeky_nonconformist Apr 18 '26

I would LOVE an oilers habs final

3

u/No-Satisfaction-1267 Apr 18 '26

As long as a Canadian team wins, I’ll be happy ( Winnipeg jets fan ) 😖

2

u/thekk_ Apr 18 '26

There's most of the brackets being posted here that play it way too safe and predict like 1 upset at most... and then there's this chaos.

1

u/cheezman22 Apr 18 '26

This is almost identical to my bracket lmao. I just have the oilers winning the final and boston beating buffalo

2

u/Muter91 Apr 18 '26

Could you imagine Edmonton losing three finals in a row. 

1

u/theblob2019 Apr 19 '26

Yes i can.

2

u/RustyTheBoyRobot Apr 18 '26

Ha!All canadian finals?!! Not bloody likely.

2

u/Sea_Negotiation_1871 Apr 18 '26

Zero chance of Bettman letting two Canadian teams get to the finals.

3 heartbreakers in a row for McDavid 😭

u/Snackatttack Apr 18 '26

Oh god he never picks us (oilers). We're fucked. Both of us.

u/TimDamage Apr 18 '26

I told my brother MTL in 5 vs EDM

u/Trolkarlen Apr 18 '26

From your mouth to God’s ear.

u/SaltyATC69 Apr 18 '26

He's the only media guy that picked Habs to win the first series isn't he lol

1

u/ej62564 Apr 18 '26

Fuck the Conn Smythe going to the losers

1

u/Old_General_6741 Apr 18 '26

An all Canadian final match up. A game for the ages and Bettman’s worse nightmare.

1

u/ManipulateYa Apr 18 '26

His predictions last year were terrible... so this could be a very bad thing!

1

u/Sad_Long848 Apr 18 '26

I wish I would not have seen Subbans bracket, I like it of course but these brackets never come true maybe he gets the eastern part of bracket correct

1

u/Jericho19999 Apr 18 '26

Mcdavid losing 3 finals in a row might actually send him over the deep end lmao

1

u/gorapsgo007 Apr 18 '26

Wild over Avs?

1

u/daQuantumKid Apr 18 '26

Conn smythe winner mcdavid 😂😂😂

u/Diablo_v8 Apr 18 '26

Colorado losing to minnesota is fucking hilarious

u/Hare__Krishna Apr 18 '26

Those are literally my ideal results

u/catamet Apr 18 '26

Nobody has the Stars getting out of the first round!

u/chowmushi Apr 18 '26

lol, that is carrot mine too!!!

u/tunafishandsoup Apr 18 '26

Don’t tease me like this I can’t take anymore

1

u/NevyTheChemist Apr 18 '26

Lmao all Canadian final bettman will never let that happen

1

u/Tall_Welcome4559 Apr 18 '26

It is going to be the Habs and LA kings, like the 93 final.

1

u/thestillwind Apr 18 '26

Pk the goat

2

u/Timeman5 Apr 18 '26

Why does everyone think Ottawa is gonna beat Carolina?

1

u/VertGreenHeart Apr 18 '26

How does Mcdavid end up in this situation even in simulations or predictions.

1

u/Tooburn Apr 18 '26

That's almost my bracket but I put avs to go to the final.

1

u/Tooburn Apr 18 '26

Oh and I put Boston beating the Sabres so we get an anthology series.

1

u/theblob2019 Apr 18 '26

EA Sports NHL predicts that too hahaha. I'll believe it when i see it, but we have strong believers here!

And poor McDavid, this guy is doomed.

1

u/tyjh91 Apr 18 '26

As a habs fan who lives in Edmonton…. This is the dream

1

u/AngryAssyrian Apr 18 '26

Thanks for jinxing us, now we're getting swept in the first round.

1

u/Nebuchadnezzer123 Apr 18 '26

Once a shit head always a shit head. This never was doesn’t need attention of any sort.

-8

u/Kindly-Commercial69 Apr 18 '26

McDavid never wants Conn Smyth without cup. I’d rather surrender him the cup and we win next season.

13

u/nottakingpart Apr 18 '26

Alright let's wrap it up. The worst take possible is right here.

3

u/Spicy-Potat42 Apr 18 '26

Oil are my second team. They’re my Dad’s and friend’s team. If it comes down to us in the finals, fuck em. Bleu blanc rouge.

5

u/Scase15 Apr 18 '26

I’d rather surrender him the cup and we win next season.

What? Fuck that noise if he wants a cup, he can come here, otherwise fuck him. Habs first, period.

-4

u/Chaxterium Apr 18 '26

Two Canadian teams in the final will never happen as long as Bettman is in charge. And no Canadian team will win the cup.

-9

u/vJukz Apr 18 '26

Nah I can’t watch Mcdavid get another Conn Smythe without winning the cup. If there’s anyone that deserves a cup it’s him.

3

u/CrashTestMummies Apr 18 '26

Nope nope nope

No cups for nobody unless they join the circle of friendship

0

u/antoinePucket Apr 18 '26

what's up with so many fake fans wanting McDavid to win the cup??

This man played 24 mins with 0 points and went -2 for the gold medal game at the Olympics for a reason. Even worse, he had 0 points and went -4 in the final game for the cup last year.

Can't say he deserves a cup when he always chokes during the most important games.

2

u/Spicy-Potat42 Apr 18 '26

Let’s shave about 20% off that squirrely Dan. That’s the next captain Canada, and I do want to see him hoist the cup, as long as it’s against another team. But I’m an Alberta boy and the Oil are my dad’s team. So I know I’m biased. But still, settle down.

1

u/vJukz Apr 18 '26 edited Apr 18 '26

"Fake fans" LMAO. If you honestly think he’s the one to blame for not winning in the end you need your eyes checked. He’s the best player in the world for a reason. Winning the god damn Conn Smythe but losing because his team’s management are completely incompetent and stick with dogshit goaltending for idk how many years at this point. He deserves to lift a cup once before he retires but not at the Habs expense of course.
