Go Bolts!!!
Leading scorer of the Guelph Storm, Corey Perry? He’s gonna be a star
Sorry Habs fans, with Corey Perry, we are losing in the finals.
While I think Tampa would probably beat almost every team not named Colorado Avalanche, I think Montreal is a bad matchup for them. I think Montreal will be too fast and not intimidated by any physical play. Suzuki will show how insanely clutch he is and be best player of the series, and Dobes will out goalie Vasy. (or Tampa in 4 and I'm out of my mind, literally could go either way.)
Hagel is our
Evem if I wasn't a habs fan this is the series I'd be most excited for
Habs can play with zero fear. Nothing to lose at all for them. They can just go for it.
Tampa has been MTL boogeyman for many years even before that awful 2021 series. Last two games Habs played against Lightning this season had real playoff vibes and Habs won both of them marginally
I think this will be an extremely tough series, if MTL can manage to get through, I think they can handle any of their opponents in subsequent rounds all the way to the cup
I'd like to see the Habs
But, I'm thinking Bolts.
Montreal is going to be a train in the upcoming years.
Tampa in 6.
TAMPA IN 5
and as soon as it happens, we will hear non-stop complaints about the playoff format. funny how when the leafs lose, they're chokers but when the habs lose after a 100+ point season, people will blame the format
Hedman isn’t available
Katie perry😂😭😂😭😂
6:59 That's not true. We have no idea when Hedman will return.
Dobson is out 4-6 weeks with a broken wrist according to Renaud Lavoie
I thought in the last MTL Tampa game, with all the scrummy stuff, Montreal kinda kicked their ass. Problem is idk if Habs can do that from 4-7, but we know Tampa can
Dobson is a huge loss but you know he's a trooper and will come back as soon as it's remotely possible. So maybe by game 4 or 5? But the real wildcard is whether putting Texier on the opposite wing to Demidov is going to do the work that St Louis thinks it will. The idea is that he can keep plays alive in the O Zone much better than Kapanen, which should unleash Demi to take a big step compared to his already very solid rookie season. And Newhook at C on that line is not your ideal 2C, but he's fast and skilled and experienced (including playoff experience) so it should be fine. I don't think Dach will see more than 1-2 games before he plays himself out of the roster, which should help get Bolduc into the lineup. Ithas been a down season for him, but his profile is good for the playoffs.
TB in 5
As a Bolts fan… I am so happy Steve picked MTL.
One notable injury for the habs down the stretch was Newhook, how came back on the second line.
You gotta look at their last two meetings of the season. Rough playoff style. Habs took both.
Montreal in 6.
Members of the habs 2021 run: Suzuki, Caufield, Gallagher, Evans, danault, Anderson. They want revenge
Funny Adam always puts MTL in the 6 seed of the division and they end up being 6th over all in the NHL lol keep up the guessing ADAM
Do we get watch a habs game with Steve dangle this season?
Suzuki is the 6th 100pts scorer, not for the 6th time. Multiple guys did it a few times
yall pandering to the habs fans
Love the channel. Cannot stand the after video clips.
Washington series was Boring? There was a fight on the bench lol.
Everybody is good against the Leafs in the playoffs defensively.
I take the Habs. Little deeper and younger,
Vaselevski is my fear.
Is Hedman healthy?
10:35 either Vasy or Kuemper for the vezina? Kuemper??? Kuemper??? he isnt in the top 10 in any goalie statistical metric this year…
Adam, the Montreal / Washington series was the best first round series last year. It only lasted 5 games, that felt like 8. The intensity. Wilson and Anderson. The goalie injuries to both teams. Ovi scoring the only OT winner of his career. The Bell Centre crowd. You didn't watch it, obviously.
Montreal in 6.
Did bobody see how Montreal manhandled Tampa this season? Anderson is going to be a big problem. $100 say we see Perry turtle and Perry is one of my boys
Unthinkable? Montembeault never should have been on 4 nations and basically lost that job last year let alone this year.
Choo choo!! Go Habs Go!
I liked the halak spring callback!
I thought Gil Gunderson was the coach of the TB Lightning!
WTF you saying? Montreal did not have Anderson for a period of time Evans Newhook Dach Laine Ghule etc.
Montreal in 6 Go HABS Go
Hutson keeps getting doubted ever since he's in the NHL, I'm giving him the edge!
Tampa is stronger in every position against Montreal but have you considered Nu Uh. Montreal in 5
on paper montreal is meaner, thats a real stats. ( stats coming from martin mcguire)
Couple corrections:
– Hedman is not going to be in this series
– Hedman is older now and Hutson definitely has a bigger impact in games
– Dobson is going to miss 4-6 weeks, so surely not back in the first round
– Montreal definitely doesn't have the same forward depth as Tampa
– Dobes is playing better than Vasilevskiy in the past month, but playoffs are different
Imo, the series will be decided by goaltending and how the PPs perform. The Habs' PP was pretty bad in the last stretch of the season. They need to figure that out or they have no chance to win this series.
All of this said as a Habs fan!
Every season every expert is always wrong. Go Habs Go
