The absolute worst thing that can happen to this team is trying to fast track the rebuild this summer.
The only focus should be trading 13, selling assets and retooling around Hutson and Demidov.
A Habs team with Cole Caufield will NEVER make it this far again, guaranteed.
A lot of things went right for the Habs this season, and that continued through the playoffs but at some point, that luck just runs out. Goaltending, PP, shooting %..
Not that I think it happens, but I wouldn’t be shocked if they missed the playoffs completely next season.
Breaking: young team that has had to play the 5th overall, 4th overall and 2nd overall teams in the playoffs is looking exhausted. The Habs are on their 101st game this year. It’s not fraudulence. It’s kids that have never played this much hockey before being gassed
@AndThatsBB What about the NHL & NHLPA, which has a hard cap and fully guaranteed contracts (unless they are bought out for 2/3rds or both sides agree to terminate) or does that not fit the narrative
Say what you will about the Leafs in the playoffs, but they never got utterly dominated in a playoff series like this. You can find disgraceful games in each playoff series, but not 3 consecutive games in a singular series like this.
Don't think the people want to hear this but the 2026 Montreal Canadiens look like the worst team to make the conference finals this decade.
Young core is gonna to be great but it's nuts they haven't looked like the better team once this playoffs
Weird question. Realistically how valuable would a pitcher who only and ever gives up one hit each and every batter like he never gets an out and only gives up runs
Tigers have lost 15 of 17
10.5 games out of 1st place
12 games under .500
And,
With 110 games remaining Detroit is hesitant to call up players from the minors (that could help?) because it might mean they’d have to say goodbye to Short, Perez or Jones.
Gonna be a long year.
