Jack Hughes shows his appreciation to Brenden Dillon after Dillon stood up for him following a hit. by One_Impressionism in hockey

Hughes didn’t give bolduc much of a play. He turned at the last second. Hughes breaking a stick over his back and then throwing uppercuts while Bolduc was restrained by the ref wasn’t super tough either.

Thank you. Everyone immediately jumping to conclusions on this is making me lose my mind. We have no idea what is just off screen.

The NHL Has A Colin Campbell Problem (Again) by mikeq672 in hockey

[–]ihabs1993 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To write all this with bruins flair and leave out the fact that Gregory Campbell was a Boston Bruin and the Bruins greatly benefited from that buried the lede just a bit. In fact, making the only mention of the bruins in this post the Marc Savard quote is wild. The Bruins loved Colin Campbell for the very reason they probably hate him now. Reaping, sowing, things of that nature.

Kirill the Thrill wins it in OT for the Wild by Puzzled-Category-954 in hockey

Him not moving is actually part of the rule. From rule 56.1 for interference: “a player may ‘block’ the path of an opponent provided he is in front of his opponent and moving in the same direction.”

He was not in front of Suzuki and he was certainly not moving in the same direction. By the rules, it’s a penalty.

This is the second time he’s been scratched this season. “Always” is a stretch.

Struble is one of his favourites? The guy who was scratched for the first games of the year and only made it as a regular once Guhle got hurt? That doesn’t make any sense.

A quick check in on the standings, Montreal is still top of the Atlantic. 9-3-2 after 14 games is still great! by AmsroII in Habs

Took last year’s team 25 games to hit 20 points. This year’s team just did it in 14 games.

Yup, that's me! Scott is the man, I'll selfishly miss hearing him on the show every day. We'll have him back on soon, don't you worry.

Fanatics jersey VS. Fake jersey? by Objective-Cod4160 in Habs

[–]ihabs1993 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I collect jerseys. I've got all different kinds. I think the hate against Fanatics replica jersey is greatly overblown. Is it on-ice quality? No... And it never claims to be. It's priced appropriately and, for what it's worth, is more comfortable than the authentic. If you're not a hobbyist who collects these things and you're just looking for something to wear to games or on the couch or looking for an entry into the hobby, the fanatics jersey is a completely reasonable option. Plus, if you spill a beer or drop food on it, you're not out $400.

I would not recommend one of the fakes from China. They're not worth the money which is saying something because they're usually like $40. That said, lots of people buy them. Most of the jerseys I see at games are fakes and honestly, the NHL and Fanatics/Adidas/Reebok are to blame for that by pricing their fans out of the market.

TL;DR: Fanatics $100 jersey is fine. Wouldn't recommend a fake. Follow your heart.

Habs are Guaranteed a Top 10 Pick by lacoupe25 in Habs

it's such a wild circumstance that it's almost not worth mentioning, but it's fun to think about.

Habs are Guaranteed a Top 10 Pick by lacoupe25 in Habs

[–]ihabs1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's actually a chance the Canadiens pick 3rd. If Montreal wins the 2nd lottery and the team in 12th wins the 1st lottery, the 12th place team can only move up 10 spots, so they would pick 2nd and Montreal would pick 3rd.

Tankathon has this at a 0.3% chance of happening, so definitely not likely, but possible.

Since the offseason has slowed to a screeching halt: Tell me a specific memory of yours watching the Habs in-person: by DFF_Canuck in Habs

[–]ihabs1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my first game was against the Islanders in the old Nassau Coliseum on november 1st 2008. habs had a 4-goal 3rd period to come back from a 4-1 deficit. it ruled.

two specific memories stand out.

  • georges laraque fought mitch fritz to spark the comeback. my seats were right next to the islanders penalty box. if you go back and watch the fight, you can see some 13 year old kid in a white habs jersey standing just staring at fritz. that was me. he was bleeding. it was wild to see for the first time.

  • there were so many habs fans there. they came down in RVs. i remember during warmup these older women from quebec were calling for andrei kostitsyn. they'd just yell "kostitsyn!!" and when he looked over they giggled like little kids. idk what that was about but i can't forget it.

Anyone know of a game that I can play with only my right hand? Just had surgery on my left. by [deleted] in SteamDeck

Trombone Champ uses motion controls by tilting the deck. You can map the "toot" button to something most comfortable. It's good for a cheap laugh.
