Habs 2026 Playoff thread

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Yeah, poor decisions and brutal pinches. But then makes super courageous shot blocks and plays big on the PK.

All over the place.

And assists on both goals

It's crazy to think we just béat Tampa in a 7 game series with the second youngest team in the league.

Imagine IF i told you that at the beginning of last season.

Jakub might turn out to be the guy, instead of a temporary stopgap. The confidence he showed in the last 3 games was reminiscent of #31.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Yes. Didn't like his clearing attempts under pressure. He best stay away from trying to softly backhand it along the boards. Aside from that, I'm also not completely sold on the player yet, unlike some.

Dobson is clearly nowhere near %

For me I need a 3 year body of work sample size of workhorse starter minutes and an above average s% and GGA before I anoint anyone a 1G

Goalies are voodoo with too many 1 year wonders

The win with only 9 shots is what I wouldn’t have believed. Just crazy. Define hockey gods moment.

Let's just say that Dobeš got hot at the right time and enjoy the ride. We shall see if he can repeat next year. Plus Fowler will get 35 games at least next season.

I'm very confident that Buffalo will have to turn to UPL at some point in this series. The Habs feast on smaller goalies like Lyon because of their east-west passing game in the offensive zone, which bigger goalies are physically better equipped to handle.

Buf was also last in the NHL in faceoff win%, huge advantage for Habs - especially on special teams theoretically

Ummm. Did this by get good? He's been a 4th liner or worse

 

[CH1]

Dobes has played Buffalo three times in his career, going 3-0 with a 2.00 goals-against average and .937 save percentage.

 

[Habsy]

Yeah, some people forget that Monty was our goalie too.
