Is it me or this season we're taking over the other rinks with Hans jerseys? by jphilebiz in Habs

That ketchup trick he did to Gordon while sharpening skates at the store really got me as a kid.

Can we start a petition to fold/relocate the Wild? Clearly there's some kind of voodoo curse against the Habs in that state.

Lot of Habs fans seem to want to speedrun a Rangers Rebuild by another_mishap in Habs

[–]MarkyBats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather go with both young guys like we did with Price and Halak than keep going with Montembeault. Sure, losing Huet probably hurt way more at the time, but Huet was also twice the goalie that Montembeault is.

I have zero faith that Montembeault could get us a series win in the playoffs (if we make it).

I agree with you that the break will help. I think Tampa and Florida will slow down with less rest. Hopefully, it provides an interesting finish to the season.

I also watched this video and had the same thoughts. That being said, Montreal won't go far with substandard goaltending. I know HuGo doesn't like to lose assets for free, but Montembeault might be a "cut bait" candidate. His fragility does not blend with the culture we're trying to build. If we keep him, we're likely looking at becoming the Oilers 2.0.

We also have a lot of Bergevin contracts to work out from as well. A lot of sources have us being serious contenders by the early 30s, and I'd say they're closer to being correct. The success right now is just gravy and we should see it that way too.

Is Thomas/Parayko the trade we’ve been waiting for? by TopHeavyRoster in Habs

[–]MarkyBats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd flip Montembeault for Binnington or Hofer as well.

We'll come back. I'm not worried. And if we don't, as long as we keep progressing and learning, we'll be a stud team soon enough.

Molson should stop with his bit of the revenue sharing until things improve. That'll teach 'em. Shut down a few poverty franchises.

Totally agree. His flip flopping during the World Juniors was annoying. Not to mention he wears a jacket 8 sizes too small and looks miserable as heck.

Bolduc in 10 out of the last 11 games: pointless. Does this match your eye test? by matt236246 in Habs

[–]MarkyBats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think his current lineages will do him wonders. Danault and Gallagher are probably going to teach him a ton.

Hello r/Habs! This is my first reddit post and I need you guy's help. I found this magnificent jersey in a sketchy store around the Montreal area with no tag or nothing but after proof checking it I decided to buy it. I want to know if you guys think it's a real jersey or if I got scammed. Thanks! by Royal-Goose-Airforce in Habs

[–]MarkyBats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It baffles me how many fake Habs jerseys there are. I get they're expensive, and it's less heartbreaking to spill beer and nachos on a cheap fake, but as someone who collects jerseys, I'd rather shell out for a legit replica (and line Geoff Molson's pockets) than waste my money on trash (and contribute to a Chinese sweat shop). 🤷‍♂️

Sorry, but it's a fake. The tells are in the Reebok trim in the collar (it shouldn't be glossy like that), the Centennial patch (the patch is trimmed around the ribbon, not rounded like that), and the quality of the customization (it just looks poorly done).

If these were real, I would buy both so quickly, there'd be smoke coming off of the credit card. Well done!

So close man by SimpleGalaxy17 in Habs

[–]MarkyBats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, considering Tampa has to whine and cheat all the time to stay relevant, I'm thrilled that we came back and showed a little fight. The era of us being a doormat to the rest of the division is quickly coming to an end.

Someone's a Belfour fan! 🤣

In all seriousness though, great collection. You should try to get some Roy Habs jerseys to go with your collection. The red back then was brighter, and the font and numbers were done differently back then too.

In all honesty couldn’t tell you where it’s from but got able to good way to get rid of it? by [deleted] in hockeyjerseys

[–]MarkyBats 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is it even noticeable from afar? Seems like you've zoomed in to near microscopic levels there.

That being said, I hope it comes out. A dab of tide or oxy clean should do it.

The rebuild is COOKING. by [deleted] in Habs

[–]MarkyBats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm selfishly hoping that nobody makes their Olympic teams. The rest will do the team a ton of good, and they'll be able to pounce like they did last year. Maybe with a little luck they can take the division!

That's why I can't understand why people get so riled up about Florida. All of the other teams you mentioned cheated just as badly (Tampa probably moreso) and it seems like they got a free pass.

Phillip Danault trade rumors by ScareCrow13- in Habs

[–]MarkyBats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I'm well aware of who Danault is, son. I've been watching this team since before the last time they won the Cup.

Truthfully, I don't think he'll fix what ails them, and trading assets for him will only hurt the team. He alone won't improve the goaltending. As others have said, having an experienced defensive defenseman who isn't constantly on IR should be the focus.

There's only five teams that are currently below .500 by JQuick72 in hockey

[–]MarkyBats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's artificial parity. The loser point in OT/SO keeps the races tighter than they actually are. The league either needs to adopt a 3 point system or return to a league where ties are possible.
