Listen it’s good to philosophically ask the question of whether or not good coaching excuses past conduct like Babcock’s, but when it comes to Babcock specifically I think we could be talking more about how he isn’t even a very good coach.

Sorry just reconstituted after atomizing from stress. Go canes.

certified rat boy

Lame.

This team is so stupid. Incredible.

never in doubt (nearly puked on my couch)

not so gently weeping abt seth jarvis

i want 2 die

I really don’t like this Stankoven Line/Marner Line matchup. This feels like the matchup that I’d select if I was Tortorella. Which makes me confused as to why Rod is selecting it.

He wanted to come to Carolina.

go canes please crush them

Key soaking it all in with his son ❤️

I’m not crying yall are crying

double decker dogs

the “BSH” in “BSH_EricT” stands for Blake Stankoven Hall

when the canes got that dawg in em

This line is so fuckin sick

I love Logan Stankoven so much

Lmao

go canes.

“You’re better than this!!” the ref yells at a comically diving Tkachuk. But he wasn’t better than this. He wasn’t better than this at all.

Go Canada

Are the Habs not embarrassed. Do they know they’re being filmed

Unfortunately the things that they do badly result in losing with a 109 PDO

I have seen way too many “the things that the Habs do well result in a 104 PDO” takes lately

I LOVE THE CAROLINA HURRICANES AND NEVER SAID A BAD WORD ANOUT ANDREI SVECHNIKOV ESPECIALLY DURING THIS GAME

If the puck goes in the net and nobody sees it, does it break Aho’s cold streak?

I think one of the canes just yelled “will you stop fucking diving” at Hutson lmao

Okay but what is the mechanism for that whistle if it’s not delay of game

like it’s just so clear that the refs can’t get over the belief that the canes are the better team in this series and so they’re subconsciously throwing bones to the habs

2 minutes for lane hutson’s hands bein like this

go canes

👻👻👻👻👻

That’s soooooooft

It sounds arrogant as fuck but truly at this point my responses to seeing 80-90% of NHL takes online is that hockey watching is a skill and most people don’t have it. I would say I’m glad folks are having fun but most of them don’t seem to be doing that either

Love to hear the Everett cowbells on the road here

Shaking sobbing, crying, throwing up, I love you Nikolai Ehlers

Seriously though. What virgin did the Habs sacrifice to get the puck luck they’ve gotten in this run

HOLY FUCK EHLERS

I don’t really watch baseball but can someone explain to me why the man interviewing Sanchez while he got doused lacks even the faintest trace of whimsy?

I’m sure it’s been said but I was staying well offline so I didn’t crash out publicly — but if the worst problem in game 1 was Jaccob Slavin having a statistical anomaly nightmare game, that does feel like something that’s unlikely to continue and therefore not a cause for panic

Got into hockey and then @alexnovet.bsky.social encouraged me to go to an analytics conference

Crazy goal from Scheifele there. Love a falling goal

Also we gotta stop saying the Habs are the youngest team in the NHL like that means anything. They have the youngest average age due to lacking the few random 35+ veterans a team usually carries, but materially? No. They’re young, not youngest by any functional understanding

On the one hand, I love that Zach Benson is good enough to be Buffalo’s best forward. On the other hand, it’s tough to win a series when Zach Benson isn’t just your best forward but perhaps your only good one

waiting for the Habs in round 3
