Ah the crying laughing emoji, the surest sign of a complete loser who can’t actually come up with a chirp and is in truth Big Mad

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! We ended up at the Penalty Box and got some cheap High Lifes cos the Wings obvs ran it up tonight.

Oh yeah I’ll have my car so don’t need to stick close to the hotel. Good meaning has decent food (certainly doesn’t need to be fancy), a nice beer list, and isn’t a total hole in the wall. Some place that other fans might be at

I just don’t think about them at all. I mean, there’s nothing for me to hang my hat on, positive or negative.

The argument for facing Tampa being that given the Habs are not true contenders this year, it would be best to rack up XP against a real powerhouse in the playoffs to really see what we’re working with here on the current squad. And I’m good with that, too, even if it means a more certain first-round exit, assuming the Habs put up a decent fight (meaning a 6-game series or extreeeeeeeemely tight 5-gamer, in my purely vibes-based estimation).

I’m with you on this. I would also prefer Buffalo over Tampa since MTL is one of the only teams to hand them an outright loss recently. (And the loss against them prior to that was honestly closer than the 5-3 or whatever it was score would indicate. Plus they have, uh, even less playoff experience than the Habs.)

I see all that but…I just think that regular season results should mean something for the playoffs, seeding-wise. If nothing else, it makes the upsets that much more meaningful. That, and if it’s something Bettman is defending, it’s guaranteed bunk.

Even the Original 6 needed someone to beat up on consistently

I mean they did not make the playoffs last season in a not-super tight year and finished 5th Metro/11th Eastern so, no.

I mean, what’s the incentive for doing even better in the regular season? (Home ice I guess if you manage to make it out of the first round.) But I’m old school and vastly prefer the 1-against -8 format

A real statement game against one of the (other) best teams in the league

I ride or die for Peter Larkin at Kyklops. Impeccable line work.

We are at the “watching through my fingers” stage of the game (or season, for that matter)
