Unocal Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 The NHL has managed to have the good fortune of no sweep in the SCF for 20+ years going back to 1999. I think this is the year that streak ends. I just don't see it from these Habs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Comet Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Sometimes a team just runs out of gas right when they get to the championship. It’s not like I saw an example of it myself during the run-up to the last Super Bowl or anything. That aside, for a team of Montreal’s caliber, getting to the Finals was the real achievement. No shame in getting beat by Tampa Bay. Also, 3 championships in one year. Didn’t think Tampa would be Titletown but here we are in this bizarre year of 2021. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal got lucky against Vegas, who was the better team. If MAF didn't gaffe, 0 chance the Habs beat the Golden Knights trailing 3-1 in the series. Carey playing like Superman built hope in fans that this is his year, only for it to come crashing down, as we watch the other team raise Lord Stanley in this 100% fluke run. He didn't deliver. I'm tired of the Kool Aid. He needs to go. I would have preferred the Habs lose to Vegas and rejoice for making it to the 3rd round, instead of giving fans this false hope. I'd rather they just tank at the right time, when there's a top prospect available, instead of getting a cheap run that will go down as a total failure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you just saying that because the Habs are down 3-0? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 1st games, I was skeptical, thinking do they really have a legit shot to win this Cup, for real? I kept it to myself because I wanted to see what they can do, to be fair to the team. When a player or a team battles to the end, to the best of their abilities, they did what they could. If you're asking me about Price, I'm just not a fan of his contract and the pedastal he is placed on because he always breaks down when it counts. It's a real, real issue. There is some positive I acknowledge, like Caufield's performance and other things. I do have both negatives and positives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unocal Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 MTL is the Rasputin of hockey. You just can't kill them off. We saw what happened to TOR this year, PHI struggled last year. They are just insanely resilient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's it. Only 3 other times has a team down 3-1 even forced game 7 (2006, 1945, 1987) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
