Came into these playoffs with no expectations willing to accept moral victories, but man we came out spoiled. Never believed I'd love the Montreal Canadiens more than I have, but here we are. Go Habs Go.
@@SamGautreau7 dude I literally said "this is my Stanley Cup" when the Habs forced game 7 against the Leafs. Before you knew it they were in the Final 😂
Never forget this run. Craig Button said this team couldn’t even win a game against Toronto and we went to the finals. I know I speak for all fans when I say that it was such a treat to watch them compete for as long as they did. We’re very lucky. Thanks fellas. Ghg
@@poof5412 i've been watching and going to habs games since the Forum (more games in the suites then seats) maybe i miss wrote what i wanted to say lol. It's the first time that "reaction" happened to me (being shocked)
@@AthwalJag Boston aren’t gonna be that good next year. It will be a good fight between the habs, panthers and leafs. I think the habs can be 3rd or 4th
Amazing show for the fans, I'll remember that run forever! Show many great memories :) Still can't believe they crawled their way back from 3 - 1 against the leafs to make it to the final, just an incredible story!
From a Lightning fan - the Montreal Canadiens will forever have my respect for this unbelievable run. It was nothing short of magical, the stuff fairy tales in sports are made of. Underdogs in every series, never really respected or appreciated. But they never gave up, they never quit. They kept fighting every minute, every period, every shift on the ice. And look, I even said that if the Lightning lost to the Habs in the Final, I would be upset, but I ultimately wouldn't mind it. They are made of the kinds of things champions should be made of. I feel bad that my team is the team that had to put them down, but unfortunately, that happens more often that not - the superior team ends the Cinderella story. But Habs fans, you should be proud of this team. They certainly did enough to earn you being proud of them.
It all came down to determination. That and Carey Price. Vasilevsky is amazing, make no mistake. Definitely one of the top three goalies in the league, maybe even top two. It comes down to those two for the very best right now. I feel that the Habs just couldn’t compete with how good the Bolts were all around. Tampa had great players, sure, as do the Oilers. But the Oilers pretty much only have a couple of great players and nothing else. The Lightning have some of the best depth I’ve seen. Them and this year’s Avalanche are amazing teams in every aspect.
That Stevie Yzerman sure put together a good maybe great team.They aren't weak in any areas.He will do the same in Detroit.Learned it from Scotty Bowman.
I'm proud of their fantastic run in the playoffs. They may have not won the Stanley Cup but they've managed to fight their way through the finals despite the odds against them. Thank you for showing this awesome run in the payoffs and I hope that you will still amaze us in the upcoming years. Go Habs Go.
Thank you Habs for this amazing Playoff journey you gave us. Our young core team really rose up to the challenge and with the great veterans we had they learned a lot. Curious to see what Bergevin will do this offseason to help us return to the Stanley Cup Finals and hopefully have Price lift that Cup!
Was so much fun and amazing to watch this run.. I'm 35 years old now, live in BC, and my dad was and is a huge Canadiens fan, so I would watch with him as a kid. Wasn't really into hockey until the later 90s, and for whatever reason, Saku Koivu caught my eye and he quickly became my favorite player in his rookie years. Watching his story; rising up to eventually become Captain. Battles with injuries, and his return from cancer.. incredible and inspiring. A true role model all around. Forever, Canadien!
Honestly each series had a memorable moment. Kk singlehandedly killing leafs nation in game 6, Price's ridiculous saves vs the leafs, Toffoli sweeping Winnipeg, the dramatic OT goals in Vegas (karma for Perry and making the finals), and winning the first finals game since 1993 against a 100 million dollar team. While it had a sad ending for us (and almost the entire NHL), they shattered my expectations and gave me the most memorable run I've ever seen; hopefully they come back here and give Price, Weber and Gallagher a Stanley Cup.
Goosebumps watching those!!!! Caufield is money absolute money in the big games. This kid shows up with no nhl experience and just had a monster sized coming out party!!!!
Watching the reactions from Marc Bergevin and the way he was so happy for his players always makes me emotional! That dude really cared about that team!
as a life long habs fan and being born just a year after they won the cup, finally seeing that team make it to the cup was just something unreal. I hope I get to experience them winning a cup in my lifetime
@@HiggsClipz they just made one. A few were not highlight worthy. Like I said. He played great, but this narrative that he "carried the team" and they only made the Finals because of him is ridiculous.
Richer was the best player for the Habs !!.. two back to back 50 goal seasons. He had a wicked slapshot!. And great on breakaways.. hardly ever missed. loved watching him play!
First year out of a retool, and a first round loss to the Flyers that could have gone either way. Second year out, a run to the cup finals, only beat by a $100M team. Looking forward to the third year.
As a canucks fan these playoffs were the most electric I have ever seen in my short life according to my parents 2011 was even crazier but this is the best I’ve seen also josh Anderson is crazy underrated
Montreal treated us with some sick goals these playoffs. Sportsnet still salty about that Byron shorty that they criminally underrated the goal. And no Suzuki toe drag on Hellebuyck? Okay SN.
...MTL's two goals in game 1 pretty much set the tone, and you knew that the Habs weren't going away easy...and likely going to pull out an upset in the series...those two goals demonstrated how MTL was going to play...and TOR had no answer for it...
He’s strange. He made some awesome moves during his time in Montreal. That Suzuki deal and the Galchinuk/Domi/Anderson deal were awesome. But at the same time he made some terrible moves. Not re-signing Perry, Danault or Tatar then using that cap space to sign Perrault, Paquett and an aging Hoffman? Who does that?
As a lifelong Habs fan, I hated every minute of this Cup run. Cuz it means Bergef__k will keep his job a while longer. At least until it becomes clear next season that they won't reach the playoffs.
Ok i watched it because im still feening for hockey...yes im from Montreal! yes im a habs fan! Im 31 and i have been watching the habs since 96' let me tell you i have not watch them much since their last good run in 2014... i don't know the team was missing character and skills tbh... Pacioretty a captain LOL! i mean yeah they were terrible...i heard a lot of good stuff on their last playoffs against Pittsburg... didn't bother much though... and then i heard about a guy named cole caufield who could easily become next montreal superstar since Alexei Kovalev...i told my self there's no way...so when i heard he was playing against toronto at the end of the season i told my self , why not watch it right? the goal he scored on the OT... i was like ok this could be too early too judge... then he scores again in the next game OT i was like ok we might have something here... playoffs started and i ain't gotta say much other then the rest is history...I felt in love with this team Anderson, Toffoli, Caufield , Suzuki , KK , Romanov , wow all new players i didnt know about... this team core looks phenominal just like the run they had they brought me back to hockey and i will for ever cherish this run... you guys made me watch... even feen some hockey again THANK YOU! GO HABS GO
@@mattm8108 Price is a superstar. And he’s worthy of that title, make no mistake. But what I’m guessing you mean is a superstar forward. Maybe someone like Drai or McDavid when they realize that it isn’t in their best interests to stay with the Oilers?
Let’s be real here, habs got pretty lucky throughout the entire playoffs, what was there regular season record, like 24-21-7? It was not very good and they rode price into the ground, throughout them somehow making the playoffs.. I predict they don’t even make it next year and don’t win a cup for at least another 8-16 years.
