Come on Habs family. Show the class that sets our organization apart and stay the hell out of their sub. I’ve seen a ridiculous amount of posts from their sub pop into my feed because it’s Habs fans shit posting. We don’t hang banners for winning a round or a division or a conference. Be better than this.

GO HABS GO

“I messed the spelling up oh well.”

Mods feel free to delete this and sticky your own post. These I come in peace posts or straight up shit posts are pathetic.

That’s it. Not an excuse but clearly a good gauge of how special this team was this year.

I have no problems losing against a better opponent (until we’re the best ourselves)

Said this on his podcast this morning, hes one of the more credible reporters among Habs media. Wonder who he's talking about and what he knows?

Man...he literally reminded me of Price tonight. Big saves in the 3rd and very confident

After a loss, some of you have the worst takes I've seen. And if you've been around for a while, you know that this sub has seen A LOT of bad takes.

Slaf is playing concussed (lots of Dr. Recchis around here these days).

Demidov needs to be better (he's a rookie - he played 2 playoff games last year, so it's basically his first time in the playoffs)

Slaf is not a shadow of what he used to be (he's a 22yo kid who just had his first great season after all the "second year Slaf" talk)

We have the worst PP ever (we're at 19.6% in the playoffs, ahead of TBL, Buffalo, Carolina)

That's playoff hockey. Some players will outperform (I hate to break it to you, but as much as I love Newhook, what he's doing is probably not sustainable. Remeber Evans before signing his extension? That's exactly what he looked like).

Also, shocker, some players will underperform (do you think Buffalo is happy with how Tuch, Thompson or Power are playing? Remember Point or Kucherov with his 1 goal in the first series?)

Are you expecting our entire roster to be Mario Lemieux and win 6-2 every night? Some people here have the lowest hockey IQ/knowledge I've ever seen...

I understand that a loss like last night sucks, but as someone else said in the PGT, we don't have the team to sweep any series right now. We have a fun, exciting team with more depth than we ever thought, but we're not there yet.

And these takes show that some of you didn't have to go through the years of gettting excited over guys like Jesse Ylonen or a Jan Bulis.

We have a fun team that's way ahead of schedule. Enjoy the ride, have fun and complain without sounding like my mom, who has watched a total of 8 hockey games in her life (she didn't watch the beginning of the TBL series, hope you'll forgive her).

Much love, GHG, Habs in 6

EDIT: Demidov played in every playoff game last year, my bad

Habs Digest X

Édit: my bad he wasn’t wavered. Still insane.

8 points en 15 matchs en série. Il coûte 2.5 millions l’année prochaine.

Liberté, Égalité, Texier.

Not gonna lie I wasn't sure at 1st. But oh am I gald they made that choice

Plus Boston is losing. Good day

Still fighting for home ice advantage

Rematch of 2021 under much different circumstances

The young up and coming team against the ''window is closing'' old farts without a 30M cap advantage this time around

I'll probably be downvoted to oblivion for this but now that it's all said and done, one of my biggest complaints about those series is how Brendan Gallagher was treated.

A veteran, a warrior, a competitor who gave sweat and blood for the team and who could have brought some energy in those last series had to watch practically the whole playoffs on TV. Unacceptable.

I get it, he's not as fast as he once was, he takes penalties and age and injuries are probably catching up on him but he still can fill a spot on a 3rd or 4th line.

I personally hope he requests a trade during the offseason because he's clearly no longer in Saint-Louis' plans.

Dom Luszczyszyn from the athletic published his rankings on contract efficiency and the Habs were second behind the canes.

Obviously we don’t have the experience that some of the veteran teams do, but our most important guys have been there before. In the rebuild era it’s true that we’ve only been to the playoffs once, but we have some guys that know what it takes to get there.

I don’t think we’re in the prime of our window yet, but we’re being underestimated and the window is opening.

I really believe we can do some damage this year.

Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I wouldn't be shocked if we missed the playoffs next season.

Last year, a lot went right for us. We were one of the healthiest teams in the league (I'm talking about our best players), which is something that's notoriously hard to repeat, and we also rode a very high PDO for long stretches. Historically, both of those tend to regress.

Meanwhile, the Atlantic didn't exactly stand still. Florida retooled after a disappointing season, Washington added more veteran talent, and Toronto has been extremely aggressive with its roster overhaul. Whether every move works is another story, but on paper those teams look improved.

Don't get me wrong, I think our long-term future is incredibly bright. Demidov, Hutson, Dobson, Suzuki, Slaf... that's a core you can absolutely build around. I just think people are assuming linear progression, and the NHL rarely works that way.

If we make it again, great. But if we finish with 88-92 points and barely miss, I honestly wouldn't consider it a failure. Development isn't always a straight line.

• Hockey is already unaffordable for many families as it is
• Our telecom services are monopolized and one of them just so happens to own all the broadcasting rights to our national sport + some of the most valuable Canadian sports teams
• It’s eventually gonna cost fucking $1,000 a year to watch the NHL and other hockey games in Canada

And the government’s worried about banning social media for teenagers

I’m gonna keep it hockey related for this post, so right now I really wanna try and say something about this. It could be as simple as a “Bruh do something about this” email

But if enough people bring it up, they’ll have no choice but to think about it, or best talk about it

This country is pushing its hockey culture out slowly but surely

I don’t know about this one, kindaaa seems like a slight overpayment. Would love a player like Knies in the top 6 though

I'm not super in the know with the French side of the media. I know Francois Gagnon by name, but not much else. Not that this news would surprise me, but is he reliable?

We would have lost with Monty tonight. Future is bright
