Anyone ready for a rematch?

Comparing the Blackhawks’ youth movement to the ‘young’ teams in the playoffs -
With the first week of the Stanley Cup Playoffs nearing its end, a side discussion over at SCH HQ between LBR and myself seemed like it’d be good to bring to the people here, as it has some relevancy to the team watching from home (or some beachfront property) that’s being assembled over at 1901 W. Madison. A couple of teams with rather young forward groups have grabbed early headlines, led by the Philadelphia Flyers, up 3-0 on their interstate rivals from Pittsburgh. An also young Montreal Canadiens team is in its second playoff appearance, but this youthful group is giving the veteran-laden Tampa Bay Lightning all they can handle through two games and have successfully stolen home-ice advantage with a Game 1 win in Tampa. Below are the lineups those two teams used in their most recent games, with the ages of the players indicated in parenthesis. The Flyers are up first: Foerster (24)

What are “Habs” anyway? -
We have all heard the raucous chants from the fervent fans of the Montreal Canadiens, whether at the Bell Centre, or at an away game. “Go Habs, Go!” Most of us likely participated in its propagation, bellowing the battle cry of our favourite National Hockey League team, even from the relative seclusion of our homes. It echoes throughout the arena, in unison at home games, in defiance at away games. Its presence strengthens the resolve of the players and drives panic and confusion into their opponents. Its very emergence is a personification of the proverbial ‘seventh man’. But have you ever paused to think about it? What is a “Hab” exactly, and how does it relate to the Montreal Canadiens anyway? It’s a term synonymous with the team, but its etymology, the history of the word, actually goes back much much further, as most of you likely guessed, to the French word “habitant.” I will gloss over the literal Engli

The Montreal Canadiens must learn from their overtime no-show -
In sudden-death overtime, you’re only a shot away from winning the game, but only if you actually take it. In overtime on Tuesday night, the Montreal Canadiens did not record a single shot on goal. Even in their Game 6 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2021, when they were outshot 13-1 before Jesperi Kotkaniemi’s game-winner, they had more shots than they did in the 12:48 of extra hockey in Game 2 of their series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. There is no denying that Kirby Dach could have played both the dump-in that caused the icing and the coverage that led to the game-winning goal better. It may cost him his spot in the lineup.

Not too shabby for a 22-year-old who was “still developing.” During the Olympics, on an episode of 32 Thoughts, Elliotte Friedman summed it up quite vividly: “If you’re a Montreal Canadiens fan, your nipples have to be erect, seeing how well Juraj Slafkovský is doing at the Olympics.” The comparisons started rolling in too. Two-time Stanley Cup champ and hockey
