@@sammarso8178 I grew up here during the 90s/00s, my dad is a huge Lightning fan (I'm primarily a Devils fan because of Brodeur, little brother 1 is an Avs fan because of Roy, but both of us will pull for Tampa if they're not playing our teams). My family always loved Marty and Vinny. We were pissed with how Yzerman treated them both, because we wanted them to retire in Lightning jerseys. When Marty went to the Canadiens, we started passively following to see what he'd do with them. Figured it'd take a couple years for him to make changes, and it looks like they're starting to yield results. The team has some nice pieces.
@ even tho im not the biggest montreal fan even if im from montreal im really excited to see the future of this team with demidov coming in soon ( probably) hope ill see at least 1 cup in my lifetime 😂
@@sammarso8178 I'm a huge 2006 Lightning fan, they'll forever be on my list because of that lineup. Now I'm 100% Habs, plus something special is happening... Nhl looking good this year!
As a habs fan, this is by far the most fun I’ve had watching a habs team since the 2021 cup run and I don’t see why they can’t stay hot it’s clear they can beat good teams and now they just have to figure out how to beat bad teams lol. Even if they don’t make it I hope they at least stay somewhat in the race for the rest of the season now that we have seen what this team is capable of.
Look at it this way, if they struggle against bad teams and beat good teams, then all they have to do is get to the playoffs, because none of the bad teams will be there. Strategy!
@@ivirflawless9829 Idk but I was at the log cabin in the country watching hockey in the middle of summers for the first time in a damn while with the boiz,, eating BBQ in between periods... and those memories are etched in my brain. It was real, it happened, and we had fun for the whole summer. Either you like it or not.
Yeah, average 650 Man-games lost each of the last couple of years, most in the NHL. I think Suzuki is the only HAB that has not missed a game since he started with them.
They are on this streak without Laine too. Slaf is just waking up, im hoping for the same redemption run in the second half of the season as he had last year. If that guy can live up to his potential, as well as Demidov and Rainbacher.. This team will be something else man
I don’t think it’s bad for the kids to have a taste of the playoffs. After a few years of being in the bottom, if they manage to get in the playoffs, I think it’s good for the progression of young ones, even if we don’t make it past the first round.
@@gabrielle5338 Totally. That stuff honed Suzuki with poise in his 2 first years. There's nothing the players should be waiting for as a team, because they will win only as much as they believe they can. A bottom place finish inspires complacence in a player if they don't think their individual impact matters to success.
It's not a matter of not being ready for the playoffs. It's a matter of maybe making them, maybe not; if they do, then they're just playing with house money. Do as much noise as you can and leave! :P
This game was ABSOLUTELY wild. Everything from Montreal scoring within the first minute of the game, to Vancouver scoring two goals in less than 20 seconds, to the Habs pulling off an amazing comeback and eventually winning it in overtime. This game had it all. What a great Hockey Night in Canada
I'm a die hard Habs fan so I hope they keep playing like this. It's pretty hard to make predictions because a lot of teams are 5 points apart in the standings. Even the 3rd spot in the ATL division is not out of reach. BOS 4 pts ahead but have played 2 more games . So it's pretty exiting.
Don’t get too excited it’s Montreal you’re talking about here. Got excited when Ottawa got into a playoff spot and since it’s been a near decade long playoff drought I was excited. They’ve lost 4/5 in their last 5
SO amazing seeing what the boys are doing now. It's like that thumping against the Penguins woke something up in them. All the pieces are clicking, all four lines are rolling and every man is contributing. So great to see. GO HABS GO!
The beginning of the season looked bleak as Patrick Laine instantly got on the IR with that freak accident collision... But ever since he came back, he definitely added to the team's morale and performance and they're working great together... And to think this is before Demidov comes into play... Still very cool that they're in a playoff spot, so hopefully they can cling to it and definitely in the next year or three they'll be quite the force
Fun watching a team go from last to building a possible dynasty that will be a contender for years to come. Hughes is putting on a clinic as a G.M with some crafty drafting from the old G.M Bergy. Top line locked at a friendly 8m - 8 Yr deal. Looks like players are signing for term rather then top dollar. The boys know something special is happening so if you want your legacy to be Cups you want to play here if for the greenback go somewhere else!
I am still on a fence when it comes to Slaf and Cooley, which is more valuable.. Last season it was obvious W for Slaf but this season Cooley is just better and Slaf is underwhelming so far.. Hoping for second half of the season redemption for the big slovak.. But anyway seeing Hutson, it seems he could have easily go 1st overal and seems to be the biggest talent.. hindsight is 20/20 though right? everyone was gunning for Wright back then lol... im just glad Habs have the biggest talent from that draft even though he went 62nd. Made the right choices at that draft
I am a Habs fan and I'll tell u my perspective. This team was in the gutter earlier. There was a legit threat of regression in the rebuild. Ever since Laine came back, Dobes came up for Primeau, and we robbed Nashville for Carrier, this team has completely changed entirely. It's unlike anything I've really seen from this franchise. Now will this last? I doubt it still. We are historically way too prone to injuries, other teams will be hungry (Rangers) and Dobes/Evans line can't be perfect every game. Plus if we do make the playoffs, we are for sure getting bounced quickly enough to not gain much experience
Oh it can be so hard to be a Habs fan - constantly love hate up down. My hopes were raised after watching the season opener - it seemed like a totally different team to one from last season. Then we fell back into the bad habits i.e. not defending (and capitalising on) the rebounds, giving away dumb penalties, not playing to the ref's whistle. And then all of a sudden we are holding our own against and even beating some of the toughest teams in the league. I too hope for a Canadian heavy finals series - Canadian home crowds are insanely loud and rowdy (doubly so if it's Canada v Canada or even better east v west)
I wanna hate on the Habs because they beat Vegas last week and I was at that game, but they showed some grit and looked like a team that was trying hard to fight their way up in the standings. Sad to see the home team lose that one, it was sort of cool to see the underdog put up a good fight and get rewarded. I can respect the work.
Also consider that Celebrini missed the first 12 games of the season so 2 points less in 10 fewer games. But also consider Hutson plays top pairing minutes and on the top powerplay. He contributes massively so I'm sure a players overall value to the team should count for something.
@@stevestreet4402 Those are good points, but Celebrini plays on the first line and is also getting top PP minutes. Overall, Hutson plays about 2 minutes more per game comparing average TOI. Given that minor difference, I think it still stands that it's harder for D-men to put up numbers and it should be leaning in that direction for that reason.
This is awesome! It's good for the game to see teams like the Habs coming up (and not just because they're my team,but because they create a buzz for themselves and the League),as well as other teams that aren't "the usual suspects" getting their moment in the sun. Competition is good! Go Habs Go! 🔴⚪🔵⚪🔴
I hope the Habs make the playoffs, but the Sens are still ahead of them in points percentage. Let's hope that they can keep up this good string of games.
YES WE ARE! Plus, We have been beaten the last 5 seasons teams champions in 5 different hours, baby. Time to claim back what we haven’t touch in over 30+ years
Canadien's fan here, we should make the playoffs but if we want more, many things must change. 1st off, discipline; not only against bad penalties but also for stupid turnovers. (too many blind passes) 2nd, shots on goal. Damn, we have to shot on goal !!! 3rd, Montembeault... GET UP faster Sam !!! 4th, St-Louis. It's not that I don't like him... it is that he's not constant with line changes and shift are too long most of the time. Go Habs Go
1) I hate and LOATHE using it as an excuse, but the refs have... uh... a TENDENCY sometimes... if you know what I mean... 2) Ugh, YES!! It's infuriating sometimes!! (looks at Caufield, Slaf) 3) He'll be fiiiine. The Vancouver game wasn't his greatest but usually he's fine. 4) He'll be fiiiiine. He's learning too, y'know, it's his first coach gig in the big show! :)
First team in 30 years that isn't strictly a dump and chase team. They're finally playing a style that's actually fun to watch... And winning as a bonus! Go Habs.
One time I found on UA-cam a game of the SCF opposing Montreal to the Kings in 1993, and noticed they used to dump and chase back then too. I asked an uncle who's followed the team since the early 70's. They've ALWAYS done that, it's not just the last 30 years... which come to think of it, it's infuriating to know. However, back then they had the speed to make it really efficient. They don't anymore.
Montreal is well on the way with the rebuild, they have a solid core,next year Ivan Demidov will join the team. They are for real. One or two more veterans and they could be a very serious contender, not to mention they have great young goal tending.
As much as I love to see us finally scoring goals lately, I know we can't keep getting 4-5 goals every night. The only way we've got a real shot at beating the 9 of the other teams who are still technically in the wild card race in the East is if Dobes is the real deal and we start playing him WAY more. Monty just isn't good enough to start 60 games a year.
Why could they not keep going? 😄 since they lost 9-2 to Pittsburgh, they're 8-3-0 and they also won 3 games in which they trailed by 1 or more goals after 2 periods, which never happened in the season before. The Carrier trade helped to balance the defense and Laine's comeback also helped the team. Not to mention all the players playing well and stuff (Dach started to get more involved, Slaf is also playing a little bit better since 3-4 games, Evans is going crazy, Heineman and Armia are playing well). When everyone on a team is in the right chair and they all do their job right, the team will win or at least compete. For a couple years, we were always changing the offensive lines and defensive duos. I think Suzuki played with something like 40 wingers since he came in Montreal ( I saw a stat on that). If we keep working hard and we keep the same lines, I think we can finish in the playoffs or just under.
East is such a beautiful mess. So many teams withing a couple of points. Right now, the Sens are dropping (surprise, surprise) and the Habs and Red Wings look hot.
It's kinda funny cause they're beating elite teams and then losing to fkn chicago lmao I do think they have a bright future though. They have a LOT of talent on their team and even more on the way with dudes like Demidov. Even have a goalie threatening to yoink the starting position from Montembeault. Wouldn't be surprised to see them making deep playoff pushes in a couple years time. Then again, it's Montreal so I'm sure they'll find a way to fuck it up lol
I know you mentioned who they beat bit what do those 4 out of 5 road trip Equate to? Victories Vs, 4 of the last 5 Stanley Cup champs! Who knows what happens from here but I don't think this is a total fluke. I Would say that, if they had taken 1 to 4 goal leads and held on. Colorado was perfect going into the 3 and we were 0-12 IN comebacks. They still lack consistency but that comes through exp. We'll see. This team has had horrendous luck, game after game. In the last 3 years. They deserve some good Karma and besides Laine, with the worst Flu of all time. Can it be that bad? Or are the hiding something else?? Cheers from Montreal Quebec Canada
funny how the bell center was taking a huge hit for not selling tickets due to a poor team, that magically, all of the sudden, they CAN actually play well? It's a business through and through and it's as fake as WWE.

Yes. We. Do.
Just a reminder, the outshot the Hawks 41-20
If the Habs stay healthy then there is a chance.
I had miller on my bench in Fantasy so that made me made. 8.3pts for nothing
Is this the Habs, Sens, and Wings finally getting good, or is it just the top teams getting bad?
Lekkerimäki not lekinen bro
watching this and they are not in it anymore
Go Habs Go tabarnaaaaac!!!
When r we gonna talk about cbj being in a playoff spot but actually better
It's kinda funny cause they're beating elite teams and then losing to fkn chicago lmao I do think they have a bright future though. They have a LOT of talent on their team and even more on the way with dudes like Demidov. Even have a goalie threatening to yoink the starting position from Montembeault. Wouldn't be surprised to see them making deep playoff pushes in a couple years time. Then again, it's Montreal so I'm sure they'll find a way to fuck it up lol
I literally clicked thinking this was hockey junkie lol no way it’s an Eck Video on MTL 😂❤
You gotta talk about the flyers we suck
Yes we do
I know you mentioned who they beat bit what do those 4 out of 5 road trip
Equate to?
Victories Vs, 4 of the last 5 Stanley Cup champs!
Who knows what happens from here but I don't think this is a total fluke. I Would say that, if they had taken 1 to 4 goal leads and held on.
Colorado was perfect going into the 3 and we were 0-12 IN comebacks.
They still lack consistency but that comes through exp.
We'll see. This team has had horrendous luck, game after game. In the last 3 years. They deserve some good Karma and besides Laine, with the worst Flu of all time. Can it be that bad?
Or are the hiding something else??
Cheers from Montreal Quebec Canada
Habs can't let up either because the Wings caught fire too. Boston will miss!
LOTS of season left. It's hockey, let's revisit in April.
No, no we do not need to talk about Montreal
Habs sadly can't hold on to it for more than a day bc schedule. Tied with Pens, 1 pt ahead of Jackets. Pens vs Jackets tonight.
Just good to see them in the mix for a playoff spot over a top 5 pick right now. The standings will change daily.
funny how the bell center was taking a huge hit for not selling tickets due to a poor team, that magically, all of the sudden, they CAN actually play well? It's a business through and through and it's as fake as WWE.
The hit was not on Lehkonen, who plays for the Avs, lmao
Go Habs!!
A garbage start but my boys are coming around
GO HABS GO
on lehkonen? bro, thats lekkerimäki
Oh please let it be Leafs and Habs in the first round. Leafs in 9.
The Habs will eliminate the Leafs in Round 1. It is inevitable.
"Who says no to leafs and Canadians round 1?"... Sens fans😅
flash in a pan. roster isn't good enough to keep winning like this. might be biased as a Montrealer and Subban fan tho haha
Is 2025 the last chance for a Canadian Stanley Cup before the US takes over??? lol
"this isn't last season's..."
..canucks, who almost never blew a lead, and now blow one every single game
What’s there to talk about? They had a good run js like Ottawa. Didn’t talk about them and look whose back to what they r normally
