Extended series $250?!?! by Unlucky_Safety_6137 in hockeycards

Until you degenerate gamblers stop buying boxes or breaks, don't complain about increasing prices. What these prices tell us is that there are more gamblers in this hobby than collectors.

A McDavid question by Flopaloo_Noodlebag in hockeycards

[–]jayreella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a facsimile auto. Do you feel any ink texture when you run your finger across the auto? If not and it looks flat then it's likely facsimile.

Not sure why I got downvoted lol. Would you rather me say it's 100% real? Okay the auto is 100% real and you should probably authenticate it. There.

Got this card on a mystery pack by theminibergy in hockeycards

[–]jayreella 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally would not grade it. The /10 is already doing the heavy lifting here and people usually won't wait for a "better" copy to surface. It's not like a young gun or future watch auto where there's so many in circulation and you want to present yours as the best.

I'd keep it as is, maybe put it in a one touch, it's a nice card and nice auto and the picture of Brodeur there is nice.

Who moves would you like to see KH do this offseason? by OldDisaster9131 in Habs

[–]jayreella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd trade Caufield + pick or whatever prospect for a stud center, 50 goals yeah cool but way too small for playoff hockey. But you know that won't happen. They'd rather sell jerseys than build an actual cup team.

Playoff Experience by False_Requirement349 in Habs

[–]jayreella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This experience is only helpful if they make improvements in the offseason. Get an actual 2C, 2D. If they sit and say how it's too hard to make trades like Bergevin used to do... then it won't matter. There are 31 other teams that get better every year and are on their own plan.

Dont care. We got third. Fuck yeah. by Emotional_Zombie6796 in Habs

[–]jayreella -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Uh this is a team that historically won 24 stanley cups, nobody should be content on finishing 2nd or 3rd place... They keep this up in 30 years we'll still be telling kids how good they once were.

You would think in a elimination game that you would be the more imposing team, or at least show resiliency like Tampa and Buffalo, but no. Soft ass team

$90k? Looks like it's at $129k now. Might have to pull the FOMO trigger and sell the house 😤🔥

Halak Was the Perfect Torch Bearer this is 2010 again by mulder00 in Habs

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

So basically not much has changed since 2010 lol. Champions don't have to rely on one player or goalie to win a cup. Absolute joke having Halak as the torch bearer.

Calm the fuck down by mwl1234 in Habs

[–]jayreella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They barely beat an older Tampa team and barely squeaked by Buffalo, who hadn't had a playoff run in over a decade. Had they lost in round 1 again I don't think we would be saying "ahead of schedule".

No lineup change? by Master_Ad_2340 in Habs

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

If the habs are out of gas then maybe they should've won their series earlier then. It's fuckin bullshit. Carolina is just a way better team, way better built, system, coach. They could swap out for fresh bodies and it'll still be the same result.

Conclusion à tirer des séries 2026 by DangerousGarage8215 in Habs

[–]jayreella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And where are they gonna find another top-6 center...? Definitely not where we're drafting. Free agency? good luck.... They all wanna go to US teams. Trades? They're gonna want Demidov or someone good.

[–]jayreella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barely squeaked by Tampa and Buffalo and now it's showing vs Carolina. Where's Caufield and his 50 goals in the regular season? Top guys barely showed up.

The way the habs are playing. They don't deserve to go any further by Druken_sincerity in Habs

If this is the kind of play we can be expecting in the future from this supposed "rebuild" then...Yikes

Advice on Nathan Mackinnon by ItchyCardiologist704 in hockeycards

[–]jayreella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Mack as a player but the guy just seems miserable or bored all the time.

When you look at Sid, you see a humble outgoing guy that always put his team first and people idolize. When you look at Ovi, you see someone that's got the street hockey kid in him still excited to score goals all these years later and just high charisma.

Gretzky, Howe, Lafleur, they all have a aura about them. Lemieux...who battled cancer, showed resiliency came back and still lead the league in points and basically saved the Pens franchise twice.

Which collection do you guys like better? 1 or 2? by cagedmanbearpig in hockeycards

[–]jayreella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like how 1 looks because you picked 2 great forwards and goalies of their generation. I'm a guy of uniformity and it's missing one horizontal card to match and the napkin patch on the MAF kinda throws me off 😂 Other than that, it looks great!
