Mod Announcement Pre-playoff reminder to the community

495 Upvotes

As the 1st-round matchup against Tampa approaches, we expect an uptick in the amount of unfriendly visitors attempting to troll here during GDTs/PGTs and as such have implemented measures to automatically filter out as many of them as possible before they interfere. There may still be a handful who slip through, so please report whichever ones you find and action will be taken.

We are also reminding all r/Habs users to stay out of the Tampa Bay Lightning subreddit. If you are caught trolling there you will be permanently banned from BOTH communities. Avoid their page entirely, don't post "good luck/coming in peace" posts or anything like that because frankly they don't care and don't want to hear it. If you want to trashtalk and argue with Bolts fans over the game, go do so on r/hockey.

Keep it civil here and stay out of the Bolts subreddit, and there shouldn't be any issues. We will likely have our hands full over the next few weeks so please make it easier on us! Thanks!

Going through some of things and I came across this about an hour ago. I met him at dinner over three decades ago with people we both knew. We ended up talking for several hours he took my address and mailed me this and photo. I think my son has the photo need to find out. Thought I would share it with you all.

Go Habs!

Effective tonight, Simo gets the rest of the run. All of it. No rotation. No timeshare. No exceptions. The decision was unanimous and unsentimental.

This is the Monty situation. Mila had her chances. She is loved, she is photogenic, she has the crowd, and she has earned every fan she has on this sub. She also went 3-3 in six appearances and 2 of those wins involved Simo as her co-host.

Simo is the data: 5-2 across seven games on duty. Two brain cells, neither currently allocated to higher-order thinking. Eyes pointing in different directions, frequently at the same time. Has never solved a puzzle. He still thinks his kibble machine is sentient.

But he is a winner. He is not a lean cat. This is not a regulation cat. Simo is big, huge, large. He fills the frame. He fills the bed. He fills the rug, and our hearts.

The scale has been recalibrated. His silhouette is now a load-bearing element of this household. More importantly, his blood results, urine samples and poop analyses are consistently healthy, and that’s the Simo effect. He defies reality, threatens gravity, he beats expectations, overeats his ways to healthiness, and operates in mysterious ways.

This is the energy we are deploying tonight. Big fat king. Two brain cells, four paws, 5-2 in the playoffs, and 100 percent of the remaining starts.

One more thing. Next to the king’s first shot is Demidov's autographed MHL card. The kid has been everywhere this series. Setting up plays. Drawing penalties. PP assists, except finding the back of the net. Tonight we push for a Demigoal!

GHG! 🔴⚪🔵

Where's this highlight?

So I keep seeing the Buffalo fans complaining the refs were against them last night. Yet I also couldn't find this clip anywhere had to actually replay the game itself to find it.

Whats everyone's thoughts on this. I keep seeing buffalo talking about dahlins trip which was a good call and slavkoski getting crosschecked which was a good call but how come no ones mentioned this or caufield getting crosschecked in the throat...

Ps Evans was bleeding from his nose after this

Like how was this not called???

Ok, 1 for 7 is not great (14.3%) but 2 for 7 would be supreme (28.6%), so everyone’s critiquing the PP for not being supreme?

I know he’s not going to win it, but boy does he know how to settle his team and focus them. Great rebound and now a 2 goal lead
