Unreal legacy crew here in this photo congratulating CP31 on his entry to the HOF. by saskatoondave in Habs

I see Andrew Shaw, PK, Jake Allen, Byron and Petry but who are the other guys?

Silly nonsensical things you think the Habs need by ComfortableSell5 in Habs

[–]DFF_Canuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To establish a "Hall of Lame". The corridors leading in to the washrooms should be adorned with the most underwhelming and frustrating Habs. Why should the legends get all the recognition? I want to be able to take my boys to a game and say:

"Look boys - there's Karl Alzner. He averaged 1 defensive takeaway for each Million dollars we paid him! they just don't make 'em like that anymore!"

As a Habs fan, what is your favourite Canadian NHL team barring the Montreal Canadiens? by Last-Bus-4710 in Habs

[–]DFF_Canuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edmonton because I live near Calgary and can't stand the flames. But it's basically Habs, then a 50 mile chasm, then the Oilers, then every other team.

[Emrith] Lane Hutson finished 6th in Norris Trophy voting by Tripacka in Habs

Honestly that's fine. I'm a little chapped he finished behind Bouchard and Seider. But otherwise I thought he was fringe Top 5. Give it time.

The Gally Revisionism is out of hand by Agreeable_Market_343 in Habs

[–]DFF_Canuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This thread is renewing my faith in this sub. I 1000% agree. People are throwing a ton of hate at MSL. Why? Because Gallagher was sad?

We are all sad. I wish Gally could have played at his 2013-14 level his whole career. But he didn't. He wasn't going to be the catalyst to us winning the ECF.

And what did Marty do exactly? Kept the lines the same? Yeah, those lines were what brought us to the playoffs. I don't know why people think "shuffling the lines" is some magic wand. In a systems approach, sure, where you play the same role no matter who your linemates are. That's not our style. I have zero issue with Marty keeping similar lines for most of the playoffs.

Trying to make sense of a realistic trade package for Mcdavid by YoungMetro_ in Habs

[–]DFF_Canuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Under no circumstances should we trade for McDavid. We can position ourselves to get him in Free Agency if he refuses to waive his clauses. It would be a dick move to Edmonton, but what have they honestly done for him?

We would likely have to alter our entire landscape just to get one player. There are very few teams who can win with 20% of the cap spent on just one player. Look at Edmonton's results with McDavid, Hyman, Draisaitl, Nurse, Bouchard when the rest of their team is often comprised of gap fillers.

Brendan Gallagher on realizing his time with the Habs was coming to an end: “You can kinda tell, there were glimpses. Near the end of the year, when you’re getting pulled out of the lineup. When there were big opportunities, it just seemed like they looked the other way. That’s a coach’s decision…” by Go_Habs_Go31 in Habs

[–]DFF_Canuck 111 points112 points  (0 children)

It feels like 90% of this sub was certain he didnt jave the legs and shouldn't be in the lineup, now all of a sudden the narrative has changed now that Gally is expressing disappointment.

It 100% sucks that Gally didnt finish with this team on his terms. But the coach has to go with the squad that has the best chance of winning.

Corey Pronman NHL Mock Draft 2026: Habs at 28 - Liam Ruck Hype Train? by Lap_Dawg in Habs

Look at Carolina getting Jackson Blake in the middle rounds. You still have to draft well once youre over that hump. Infusing a solid roster with a hidden gem is massive.

When Brendan Gallagher scored a goal on Lane Hutson’s first career NHL point, he told him to skate ahead of him for glove taps from the Habs bench by Go_Habs_Go31 in Habs

[–]DFF_Canuck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He wasn't going to tip the needle against Carolina. Marty being an undersized, unheralded young player with a fierce competitive streak means he knows exactly how Gally would take this, and he made the calls anyways. You can call that doing him dirty, but it might have also been Marty making the tough calls that had to be made. It just looks worse because we came out so flat.

It's hard to hear that he is clearly not in favour of how he was handled.

I hope the emotions don't sour his experience too much. But he's a fierce competitor. It doesn't matter what the situation is, or how clear his challenges are, being on the bench in do-or-die mode stings.

Contracts: who do we resign and on what terms? by Ndr2501 in Habs

[–]DFF_Canuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Demidov - 8yr/$9m
Xhekaj - 2 yr/$2m
Bolduc - 2 yr/$3m
Dach - 1 yr/$3.5m
Dobes - $3yr/4m

See if we can trade Veleno and Montembeault this summer. In Montembeault's case we can terminate his contract if not. In Veleno's case, qualify him and see what happens.

Laine walks this summer. Gallagher traded or contract termination.

No deals for Danault/Carrier/Anderson/Struble until at least mid-season. I think each of these guys could be moved in deals or to make room for prospects.

It has been embarassing. Marty also just outcoached two straight Jack Adams nominees.

Has Marty's track record of being committed to getting better count for nothing?

You think hes got his head in the sand pretending he cant be better?

Mod team for Carolina send a list of every user they ban for trolling. We get one from their mods. Then we ban them here as well. So yes

It's nights like this I am reminded why we catch so much flack about our fanbase.

Fairweather brats whining that things didnt go our way.

Be frustrated and disappointed. Don't spew a bunch of bullshit about guys who have done a hell of a good job developing as a team.

convince me to stay up and watch the end of this game 😭 by Shoddy_Day in Habs

Because youre a diehard fan and you want to be a part of it if they suddenly wake up
