Anyone have the number of a good cardiologist?

LFG baby This is Mika time.

Its better than listening to Messier and Subban hate each other in real time.

THATS MY BOY BIG DICK CHRIS!!

Let's get it here boys

As bad as we played in the second half of the first and first half of the second, we win the third, we win the game. Go get it.

The fuck is that shit? Bush league.

LFG LAFFY YEAHHHH

John Brancys head shines with the intensity of the Stanley Cup and his voice strikes fear in our enemies like a Viking war horn.

If he wants to keep playing like this, he's practically stamping his name on the trophy.

Just fuckin crush em. Take the home wins, keep MSG as the Fortress of Solitude, and take a 2-0 lead to MSG mid-South. Zibanejad continuing his Conn Smythe case tonight. I'm smelling another 3 point game.

Oh, I'm honored, but I wouldn't dare try to cut in front of you in this particular line. Or stay in it if I'm behind you.

Gotta say, I tried to hawk that gold and it just melted in the heat and stunk like a rancid porkchop.

I'd argue differently. Consistency really matters, but it's consistency relative to your opponent. If we can keep playing the defense we played yesterday? I love our odds. Hell, I love our odds at getting some rest after the series if that's the case. Carolina isn't poorly run though. Brind'Amour is a more experienced coach than Carberry, and a smarter coach than Gerard Gallant. Carolina will adjust to the Rangers, and it's on Laviolette and the star players to make them feel like nothing they do will work.

That player was Rejean Houle. The Canadiens also flexed their star power quickly in the expansion era. They'd routinely ask future first-round picks from newer franchises in exchange for stability/gate draw. That's how they ended up with Guy Lafleur and multiple first-overall picks while they were winning Cups. Every single year they had an extra first from an expansion team and just did not miss - Lafleur, Shutt, Gainey in consecutive drafts. Heck, even when they missed, they didn't miss hard - Doug Risebrough and Mario Tremblay - were good to great NHLers. It was only when the league grew to 18 or so and years of developmental advantage - both as the 70s Habs aged out and as the QMJHL became far less about the Canadiens - that they finally normalized.
