Vanek and Markov see ya later. ....

Markov?? No, they'll resign him as he's hard to replace. Sure he played bad tonight and for stretches this series, but still he's a solid D-man. Vanek on the other hand is probably gone. I wonder if they'll re-sign Gionta and for how much. In fact, here are the Habs UFAs:

Vanek - gone
Gionta - maybe re-signed?
Parros - gone
Markov - re-signed
Buillon - really don't know
Murray - most probably gone
Weaver - should get re-signed

Weise, Eller and Subban are all RFAs that will get re-signed.

 

[NYR]

So happy. Almost 2/3rds of my life waiting for his chance. Lifetime of waiting.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

If Vanek isn't dealing with any major injuries, he might regret turning down the Islander's offer. I have a hard time seeing any GM offer him a major contract if he's healthy with how he played.

All it takes is one, and there are always at least three.

 

[lamaroo]

Don't think I've said this but I'm impressed as hell by the Rangers.

That speed! The guys looked like the bought into Vigneault's system and played it to perfection, Hank didn't even need to be amazing in this series outside of maybe one game.

Oh yeah I can't hate Dominic Moore either, glad he got the winner.

 

[dankir]

So Canada hockey gaf... when's the next time the cup comes back up here
Really thought Habs would go all the way.

 

[Red_Man]

Reminded me of the Canada/US game in terms of sheer dominance.

Honestly didn't notice one Habs player out there. Briere maybe? I only noticed Subban because the crowd booed him every time he touched the puck.

Were you watching? NY is the only team that didn't regularly boo Subban.

Glad Moore scored the lone goal. Dude is an OG.

I'm okay with him having the only goal, dude deserves all the best and more.

lol god dammit MacLean bringing up the Jays loss!

Never. The curse of the Canadian team is all too real.

Canucks aren't gonna get close for another decade or so.
Habs might get another chance next year? Who knows.
Jets are getting better but need more time for sure
Sens....... naw. Just don't have the roster.
Leafs lol
Oilers lol
Flames lol

 

[SCHUEY F1]

lol god dammit MacLean bringing up the Jays loss!

Yeah, that sucked too. Hopefully they come back with a win tomorrow.

 

[~Kinggi~]

I very clearly heard boos every time he touched the puck so...

At least in this game, yeah i heard a lot of boos.

 

[Fox318]

YES YES YES

FUCK YOU TORTS

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

YES YES YES

FUCK YOU TORTS

If the Kings beat the Hawks with Gabbo playing this well Torts might physically explode.

 

[dankir]

lol god dammit MacLean bringing up the Jays loss!

Somebody gif his expression! Was hilarious!!!

I don't really care about bringing the cup back it Canada, besides it being the Leafs winning it. I could care less about the other Canadian teams.

But the Habs are the only team that has a chance, young and elite, with amazing goaltending. When Galchenyuk blossoms into that studiedly #1 C we all know he will be they will be dangerous.

 

[ShaneB]

NO.



LA/NY Series. The only two American cities that matter finally meet in a major sporting event. How do you guys not want this?

I'm so conflicted. I want the Blackhawks to advance and at least I'd watch that series, but I'd love the potential coverage a LA/NY finals would get.

 

[Heshinsi]

Were you watching? NY is the only team that didn't regularly boo Subban.

That was so refreshing. I would start cringing at first when Subban would have the puck, just out of instinct. But the boos never came.

[MetatronM]

Exiting to alternating OLE, LGR, and WE WANT THE CUP chants.

GG Habs-GAF. Dustin Tokarski was named third star of the game behind Hank and Dom Moore. You've got a good one there behind Price. Who knows what this series could have been if Price didn't go down, but you guys certainly weren't lacking in goal.

Pretty sure a Canadian team winning the cup is Gary Bettman's worst nightmare

 

[Wellington]

Sweet Jesus those are the low prices.

If they come down to $300-$350 I'm going.

 

[Red_Man]

I'm ok with the Rangers giving a giant middle finger to Torts.

 

[Quick]

Oh shit, is that Kovalev?

 

[NYR]

Sweet Jesus those are the low prices.

If they come down to $300-$350 I'm going.

They only going up, son.

 

[Mentok]

LOL at the t-shirt behind John Amirante:

FANTASTIC FIND!

The only reason why I'd say I want the Hawks to win is because it's really been a while since we've had a repeat cup winner and they're good enough to do it.

 

[dankir]

AK47?

 

[Alucard]

No one actually thought the Habs were actually going to win the Cup, did they?

 

[TheKaeptain]

HOLY SHIT!

 

[LJ11]

I still have the shirt Kovalevs wearing, mint condition too...hahaha

 

[Malo]

YES YES YES

FUCK YOU TORTS

We made it bro.

 

[dankir]

No one actually thought the Habs were actually going to win the Cup, did they?

Everybody in and around Montreal did!

 

[TrueGrime]

YES YES YES

FUCK YOU TORTS

Post of the century.

 

[Heshinsi]

The boos were very audible on the NBC feed.

I don't know why I'm bothering to argue this since it's so trivial, but they were very clearly booing Subban.

I'm talking about the series in general. There a few in this game on the CBC feed, but when you're accustomed to the torrential boos that generally come, the New York stuff barely even registered.

 

[Alucard]

Everybody in and around Montreal did!

I work in Montreal, so I can confirm this. Lines like "The good guys won last night" and "They're going to win tonight, win the next one, and go all the way to the Stanley Cup" have been uttered around me in elevators at work.

Impossible. I've tracked them all and every game but game 4 against the Pens has gone down day of.

 

[Vyse24]

OMG I remember having that shirt when I was a kid. Good times.

i say give the jets 2 more years and they will be a contender instead of a pretender

Not with Pavelec in goal they won't.

I work a 5 minute walk away from the Bell Centre.

 

[TheStruggler]

Not with Pavelec in goal they won't.

thats why im not surprised if we pick up a new goalie this season or next, that or maybe a miracle will happen and he will actually show up to the games
