Terrible team eh?

DSP, Weise, Eller, DLR, Gally and Chuck will stepup in the playoffs.

Maybe this year DD and Pacioretty will actually perform in the playoffs.. Would change a lot of things for the habs for sure.

Need Galchenyuk to finish his plays more often

I prefer salt

A man's man.

Nice.

For sure. Needs to take that extra second to ensure a good accurate shot.

Biggest issue I feel he has is confidence to just make the play. Years of MT punishing young guys for taking even small risks is clearly ingrained in his subconscious.

And Cam Ward was really good back then.

A lot of players had a career years that season all over the league


Staal hasn't sniffed 100 since...

The point being that they weren't the big bad west and ran through a less demanding east. Its not impossible that with the right opponents a team can get to the finals with enough juice to offset any skill differential. Just look at the Habs last two cups.

He also hasn't had teammates like that since. He had a lot of quality teammates that year. All went down hill from there for him.

I found that he shot the puck more often the 1 game he played on the R/W. Finished the game with 1 goal and 2 assists. Also, there is no chemistry between him and Plekanec.

We really going to reference the 93 team? I love this argument. What a terrible team that was with Vinny Damphoussee/Muller/Bellows/Desjardins/Keane/LeClair/Odeleine/Schneider/Savard. Piss poor.

They had Roy and they were lucky in 93. I mean they won 10 straight games in overtime.

true and it doesn't help my argument that they went OT like it was a treat

So is it too late to see if they can get LeClair off his rocking chair for playoff OT games?

Williams, Whitney, Cole, Rod, Ladd, and Stillman (for a bit) were there the season after.

05-06 was an odd year. Players didn't adjust well to the new rules right away and the amount of power plays were insane, and players put up ridiculous numbers. Canes were average and rode a goalie that has never been near that form again.

Again...Roy certainly helped. But if you recall...Montreal was having a fantastic season until a late season cold streak. Damphoussee had a fantastic year and playoffs. As did Bellows. LeClair was a beast in the playoffs. As was Desjardins. Muller was Muller. Etc etc. That team had 100X more talent and skill then this current Hab roster. It's laughable to even compare them.

Serge has me on hold. Also crims is rolling re. Desjardins.

PPs in the playoffs were as close to reg season as they would get.

this is true

Outside of Roy....That team had HOF's and guys who should be in the HOF. This hab roster likely has ZERO.
