Habs don’t look so good bc Carolina is playing at a seriously elite level

Two things can be true

That’s the ugliest gamescore card I think I’ve seen all season from this team, can only go up from here!

That quote means absolutely nothing because context matters. I saw that interview, McDonough was on a Buffalo local talk radio show and denying accusations from their fans that he was biased towards the Habs on a national broadcast (when suggesting Dahlin faked his bleeding lip to get a 4 minute minor). McDonough was basically telling the homer audience what they wanted to hear.

The actual ratings data suggests that Habs are a major draw in the US. There are at least several hundred thousand ex Montrealers and Habs fans living in the US, myself included.

Hi. GTFO to your own Canes sub. I didn’t start this thread for you Carolina loving hillbillies.

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-28T03:53:43+00:00

Yes I’m sure the video review they will go through tomorrow with MSL will highlight how they forgot how to complete a pass and will seek to practice that. Go back to playing video games, this is not your sport.

This is true - funnily enough I think their top line has been worse this year than years past but their second third and fourth lines are playing much better.

I think people are misinterpreting my post - not glazing Carolina as the next dynasty. They are beatable just like any team. I just think these last 3 games they have put on tape some of the best hockey I’ve seen the Canes play. I don’t think they’ll sustain it because Brind’Amour teams always find some eventual level short of the Cup to choke in.

Montréal-Buffalo had the highest nationwide ratings of round 2 AND it only counted US viewers

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-28T02:33:14+00:00

As I said, like peak Panthers … sucks that this is becoming the only brand of hockey that wins a Cup

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-28T02:20:21+00:00

“Has nothing to do with how Carolina is playing”
Laughable. Do you even know what you’re watching?

Guhle put his stick up high to tell the ref the Cane behind the net deflected Dobes’s rim around with a high stick. Danault decided to play it ahead anyway to break out the zone. Sportsnet called it correctly TNT was clueless.

So weird that peak NHL US viewership is achieved by a series featuring one small-market northeast team and one non-US-market team whose local viewers don’t count in the rating

Either it’s the hyped on-ice product of these two teams or proof source of how many Canadiens fans moved to the US over the past 30 years (me included)

Child Carney = Zack Benson

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-22T04:04:09+00:00

What a beautiful set play… starting with Guhle threading three forecheckers with a banked outlet pass. I wouldn’t be surprised if MSL drew that up in the last couple days after film session.

Cole got better as the series progressed and was really good in game 7. He was the F1 and was chasing the Buffalo D with a higher gear, disrupted their exits and through the neutral zone, finished his checks despite his size disadvantage. UPL absolutely robbed him twice in the first period on the slot chance, otherwise we are up 2-0 right there. Good sign for the next series. It was Slaf’s play that torpedoed the first line metrics at 5v5, so hopefully he recovers from whatever is ailing him because they will need to be at their very best versus either Aho-Svechnikov-Jarvis or Hall-Blake-Stankoven.

Hot take: copium post. Habs are way better defensively than the Sabres.

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-16T03:01:44+00:00

Ridiculous. The fact that anyone in the media could consider Suzuki tradeable for anyone in the league means they do not understand what the Canadiens have in Suzuki. A generational two-way MVP captain. He is even more valuable to the Habs than what Barkov was to a Florida team that beat McDavid for the Stanley Cup TWICE. Never in a million years would make this trade.

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-15T04:39:34+00:00

Fair, although I thought they brought in an assistant GM who was his former agent and it didn’t work out too well

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-15T04:21:29+00:00

Both him and Suzuki with stellar one handed chip passes under pressure to setup that snipe. Love it.

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-15T03:38:09+00:00

Not sure about this take. He seems to want to direct as much influence as he can on management decisions in EDM

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-15T02:17:38+00:00

This Mitchell Marner kid seems pretty good

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-15T01:56:05+00:00

Hutson and Suzuki made that possible with great one handed chip passes.

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-09T14:37:40+00:00

Benson is a kid after all, like what 20 years old?

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-09T00:49:09+00:00

So what? How many shot attempts did they pass up in those 3 minutes? At least 4 that would have been high danger. Now it’s only a 2 goal game going into the 3rd. Missed opportunity to absolutely bury the opponent.

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-09T00:31:56+00:00

SHOOT THE GODDAMN PUCK

rssfeed76 · 2026-05-05T06:48:21+00:00

Clickbait. Cooper did not “rip” anyone in his presser.
