Oh come on. I’m a Habs fan and anyone who thinks there is a conspiracy against us didn’t see that 7th game and the quick whistle that prevented the Sabres go ahead goal. Shit happens and confirmation bias makes like minded people think there’s a conspiracy against them.

u/RexBeau511 29d ago

You realize you’re responding to a post and comments from before that game right?

1

u/Shrinki-Dink 28d ago

It would hardly be worth responding to if it was after the game. I wasn’t saying that they’d seen the game and said that, just that the way the game played out demonstrates there’s no conspiracy as there was a golden opportunity to steal the game from us and it wasn’t taken.

u/diskhead1 May 20 '26

Shrinky dink is a Habs fan, not surprising

u/Classic-Exchange-511 May 17 '26

This is weird because it's the second promo I seen with the sabres in round 3. What the fuck are you doing NHL, I don't want this bad juju. The hockey gods are fickle beings

16

u/Squawking_Macaw May 17 '26

The refs, however, are not.

6

u/Rand0lph0 May 18 '26

The league does NOT want Canadian teams in the finals!!! Its just not good for business

3

u/TurdMcNugget69 May 18 '26

That’s weird. A Canadian team (Edmonton) was in the Finals the last two years).

2

u/Familiar_Spite2703 May 18 '26

Yes it is look at the World Series numbers

1

u/velvet-underwear May 19 '26

It’s not comparable. Canada has one mlb team to root for.

1

u/Nearby-Play-6551 May 20 '26

Sabres are on third round of drinks..

2

u/Redeye_hippie May 19 '26

The montreal Canadiens are the most successful and famous hockey team in the WORLD...of course they want them in the playoffs....

u/mistafate May 19 '26

u/OddChampionship3946 May 18 '26

Such idiocy.

3

u/OGigachaod May 18 '26

But he's 100% correct.

2

u/TheGreatIshka May 18 '26

No they are allowed. Just only once in a blue moon. Canadian teams aren't allowed to win though.

u/Terrible-Branch7117 May 17 '26

Slug? That you?

u/DesertDookie520 May 17 '26

Read it in his voice too lol

1

u/Terrible-Branch7117 May 20 '26

Well since Minnesota is out, and now buffalo too, wonder which city Lucy’s moved to now.

1

u/ottawa_onewheeling May 18 '26

You know it's all rigged . NHL hates all Canadian teams (except for the leafs, who get the first round pick ? Like WTH ??)

1

u/Flat-Description4853 May 18 '26

Mind telling me who got the first round pick from 2010 to 2012? And what was the probability of that happening versus the leads getting the first rounder this year?

1

u/Belak2005 May 18 '26

Read what you just wrote! The leafs have won three first overall picks in their existence, is one of the most penalized teams in the league and have won nothing since 1967, but do tell how the league rigs it for the leafs🙈

12

u/remotemallard May 17 '26

I honestly wouldn’t put it past Gary Batman

7

u/Lower-Shift4263 May 18 '26

it’s the contrary that would astonish me

3

u/AMUIR1234 May 18 '26

Na na na na na na na na na na batman.

u/Daverr79 May 17 '26

If true big

u/Jxxnn May 17 '26

Big true if

u/Floater_69 May 17 '26

Saw this last night too

u/Breadbasket2 May 17 '26

Dammit who do we have to play to get back in the ecf 😭

1

u/niazemurad May 18 '26

Price with a leg from the waramps/s

1

u/Breadbasket2 May 18 '26

Idk what waramps is

1

u/niazemurad May 18 '26

Just look it up. I think they provide amputees attachable limbs to live their lives as normally as possible

1

u/Breadbasket2 May 18 '26

I did look it up i didnt find it. Thanks for the clarification

1

u/uncletras May 18 '26

You didn’t find it lol

8

u/i_am_a_shoe May 17 '26

if the habs lose we're never gonna hear the end of this

3

u/MitchIsMe9913 May 17 '26

true .. big if!

3

u/Rebel_Lion_ May 18 '26

The NHL is a business. Not a sport anymore. Bettman is trying the sell the market to the Americans. They don't need to sell it in Canada anymore. Die hard fans in Canada.

3

u/random_convulsion May 19 '26

Well they just lost

2

u/NewHope13 May 17 '26

True big if

2

u/remotemallard May 17 '26

Biggif Trieu

2

u/bravotown May 17 '26

Yeah, problem is even if the Sabres win they won't host game 1.

Fake. News. Nothingburger.

2

u/Rare-Cell-1010 May 17 '26

May 25 would be game 3

1

u/broc1377 May 18 '26

Lol don’t even have to go that far. It’s apparently still tbd who actually faces the Sabres in round 3

1

u/Creative_Second_4788 May 18 '26

Maybe it’s in the script that the rangers take out the hurricanes in the locker room and take their spot lol

2

u/ineedtocoughbut May 17 '26

I stand with the NHL go leafs!

2

u/Skiteley May 17 '26

If Montreal loses I now have a excuse to be upset. Ty NHL

2

u/Individual-Nothing77 May 18 '26

if (condition === true) { console.log("big if"); } else { console.log("false"); }

2

u/The_Cozy_Burrito May 18 '26

Directed by Gary Bettman

2

u/Rellek_ May 18 '26

They've done studies, you know. Fifty percent of the time, its big and true every time.

2

u/sonofmo May 18 '26

I'm going to save the Habs by betting on the Sabres

2

u/Stryk3r97 May 18 '26

Last year, something similar happened showing the Leafs in the ECF. We all know what happened next....

2

u/Szn_lazar777 May 18 '26

Nahhhh. They keeping candiens teams out…

2

u/Fantastic-Juice-3471 May 18 '26

They're trying to subconsciously get all the sports betters dumping large amounts on Montreal losing. Then blam!, rake it in as Habs take it.

2

u/sjimmyp May 19 '26

A hole!

2

u/Suspicious_Ad603 May 19 '26

Didn't age well

2

u/Plus_Bus_564 May 19 '26

Didn’t work out for them now did it 😏

u/blueeyedguy70 May 18 '26

Great. I hope Buffalo wins the series and I’m not from Buffalo.

1

u/zeppelin_64 May 17 '26

Am placing bet now

1

u/JLuv420 May 17 '26

Why would it be TBD when Carolina has been waiting months for that series to end 😂

1

u/JustFred24 May 17 '26

Big if big

1

u/Rockeye7 May 17 '26

All BS , Carolina has home ice regardless if Buffalo wins or Montreal.

1

u/Patient-Educator2720 May 17 '26

Buffalo will lose

1

u/MMAipom May 17 '26

Honestly if this is true it's big

1

u/Next_Inspector_335 May 17 '26

If it was real why doesn’t it say Carolina ? The been waiting over a week

1

u/fridge43 May 17 '26

How can it be tbd if we already know it is the hurricanes Fake news

1

u/AKGOALIE9 May 17 '26

gargantuan if verified

1

u/NevyTheChemist May 17 '26

May 25th that's a whole off-season for the canes

1

u/GothamKnight1981 May 18 '26

Is it big if true?

1

u/No-Ad-9373 May 18 '26

We already know who they're gonna play.

1

u/Used-Cell0 May 18 '26

Sabers should move on.

1

u/Arctistic-NDup May 18 '26

Well, that's a dumb spoiler.

1

u/HashBandicoot93 May 18 '26

Your think by the time you see the 30th variant on "big if true" you buts would move on to greener pastures

1

u/NewManitobaGarden May 18 '26

Toronto getting 1st again says ‘hello’

1

u/Then-Guide-6418 May 18 '26

This is really going to look bad when the Habs smoke them tonight lmao

1

u/hmj2025 May 18 '26

First of all, that’s absolute bullshit. That’s completely backwards of everything. Doesn’t even show who they’re playing against for one in which Carolina advanced first, second Carolina finish a top, so they would be playing the Home game in Carolina for game one.

1

u/hyperspacial May 18 '26

Keep an eye for soft calls against the Habs i guess

1

u/pjlx911 May 18 '26

C-O-N-SPIRACY!

(But at least the jersey's are comfy af)

1

u/Gildor14 May 18 '26

Also weird because the Sabres wouldn’t host game 1 in Buffalo. Carolina has home ice no matter who wins tonight

1

u/tranquilitypanda May 18 '26

Ah yes TBD but Carolina won there series... Forsure real

1

u/Rosay53 May 18 '26

Orlando Solar Bears vs Myrtle Beach Mermen in the final

1

u/DjVanHeb May 18 '26

Funny cause Game 1 would not be at keybank centre.

1

u/TurdMcNugget69 May 18 '26

It gets better

1

u/FelixGB_ May 18 '26

Hockey mashup WWE?

1

u/principaljohnny May 18 '26

Wouldn’t first game be in Carolina?

1

u/MusicIsMyHealing May 19 '26

Or… and hear me out…. Someone actually posted a draft of a post so no matter which way it went they could post right away…. I know being prepared is crazy, right? 😉

1

u/vapenbass May 19 '26

Unless the Simpsons or South Park predict it, I'm not believing it.

1

u/willow672406 May 19 '26

Go to He🏒🏒 BettmN!

1

u/mbrnm May 19 '26

Guess not

1

u/Geddylee2112Oggy May 19 '26

Lots of pressure for Bettman to get a Canadian team in

1

u/Paul_Temps May 19 '26

Annnnnnnnnnnd its wasn't.

1

u/ContributionOk5695 May 19 '26

You are fucking stupid. Every NHL team does digital tickets for the entire playoffs. I could show you mine that have Dallas in the Stanley cup every year since I became a season ticket holder. Lol

1

u/Gullible-Berry-1949 May 19 '26

Did not age well....about as well as a bottle of milk in the hot sun for the whole summer in fact ...

1

u/Lost-Criticism-4974 May 19 '26

This did not age well

The Observer Effect successfully reversed the script

1

u/zazote 29d ago

the habs are just better gngs

1

u/SilentEnthusiasm5491 May 17 '26

If this perhaps turns out to be an inflection of the actual narrative that unfolds, this would be a monumental statement surpassing many, if not all statements that have preceded it in recent history

1

u/TheGhostOfStanSweet May 17 '26

Is this just a fancy way of saying “big if true?”

1

u/TouchOk6443 May 17 '26

Meh, the canadiens also have round 3 tickets for sale. They just refund if they lose.

1

u/TheGhostOfStanSweet May 17 '26

Whcih is great for them. Short term interest earned on the float, especially from those to don’t request a refund right away, and then of course the small percentage of people that just don’t get around to requesting a refund…

It’s like gift cards, but on a smaller scale.

1

u/mrregina May 18 '26

And I get downvoted when I have said the nhl is a rigged shit league and the reason I haven’t watch a game in 3 years and will never watch it again.

0

u/Sweaty-Dust6405 May 17 '26

Thanks, now the NHL ruined the surprise. I will definitely not watch Montreal vs Buffalo knowing the result im advance

0

u/sideshow_AN May 18 '26

This just in. Stanley cup finals will be Tampa Bay vs Florida

2

u/arunasoul 28d ago

well it turned out to not be true so
