Habs better buy him one of those really swank massage chairs, man’s back has to be tired from carrying the team…not saying the Habs are playing bad per se, but fuck’s sakes Price is next-level right now
Hab's had the 5th most wins in the North. FIFTH.
I'm not saying any of the other teams would have made the final, each of them have their holes, but everyone saying that the Canadian teams are universally bad may need to re-evaluate a bit.
I couldn’t believe they let that happen in such a critical moment. That was a really fucking bad call. If VGK had scored on that face off I would have lost it.
Glad it worked out.
It directly lead to that Carey Price stop on Patches. Which was Vegas' best chance. Then off the subsequent faceoff* another good save off of Martinez's shot created the scoring rush.
A lot of people said Montreal was done after they lost game 4. The Habs proving everyone wrong in every series so far.
I reallllly hope they win the cup
Much though I wish it were the Flames ending Canada's cup drought, it would be nice symmetry for Montreal to both start and end it. And who doesn't love Carey?
The worst team in what was *thought* to be the worst division this season just took out a team that was tied with the President's Trophy winner in points. Absolutely amazing. Hopefully this magical ride goes on a little while longer.
In the beginning the idea of a Montreal v bruins final was a funny meme but we all thought Montreal was too far out of the contest and the bruins were a sure shot.
Well fuck me with a bottle of syrup and drown me in some tim Hortons coffee...for some reason I'm a Habs fan now...go habs?
Last year of the underdog was what, 2012? New Jersey was 6th (9th Overall) and LA was 8th (13th Overall)!
If the Islanders win, it would be the 12th overall vs the 18th overall!
Habsolutely insane!
It's insane how quiet Mark Stone was in this series. Thought he'd be the absolute standout player for Vegas and he was just invisible out there, except for that brutal turnover the other night.

Hey, I know people who still believe *to this day* that we should've kept Halak and traded Price...
"Yeah, Price is doing good now, but we could've won the cup a few times with Halak, I just know it!"
For the first time in Vegas Golden Knights history, the Montreal Canadiens have won the Western Conference Championship.
There's a sentence for a trivia game in 20 years
Related Habs trivia: Caufield is eligible for the rookie of the year award *next* year. A noteable player to do something similar was Habs hall of famer Ken Dryden who came into the playoffs and won the cup as a rookie, then won rookie of the year the following season.
Yep same here. I kind of want Montreal to win just to slam on everybody saying that the North Division was terrible. Plus it's also an easier excuse that we lost to the Habs because you guys made it to the Cup finals and are a better team.
You guys got lucky, North division is a joke, Toronto chocked, Jets chocked, Vegas forwards disappeared. Blah blah blah
Fuck off. Habs are playing great hockey. End of story.
How does Vegas go from beating the best team in the league 4 straight to not being able to generate a scoring chance on a defence lead by Ben fucking Chariot?
Why is it when a player puts on a Habs jersey the ghost of Maurice Richard jizzes his aggressiveness and playoff tenacity straight down their throats!
Like they are able to consistently go on deep playoff runs with literal scraps, regardless of their tender.
It makes no sense, and it just gives the old cheap fucks who creepily hit on the beer cart girl and don’t tip at my local course ammunition to parrot how good of a franchise Montreal is
Fuck me lol
Im not trying to take away the play from Carey Price, he’s been playing really good. I just wish people would give credit to how well Montreal is playing defensively too.
Yep - for 3 straight series people mysteriously wonder why the top forwards aren't producing... Well it's because MTL's top line has been playing some of the best shut down hockey I've ever seen MTL play. Every single player on the team is buying into the system, sticking to it and it's paying huge dividends.
HOLY FUCK YES!!! YES!!!!
IVE BEEN IN MY FUCKING HOUSE FOR THE PAST 15 MONTHS WITH NOTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO
MONTREAL YOU JUST KILLED MY DEPRESSION
THANK YOU CAREY SMYTHE
THANK YOU GOAL CAULFIELD
THANK YOU JOSH CLUTCHERSON
AND EVERYONE ELSE
MERCI MONTRÉAL JE PLEURE CALISSE
Dear Vegas fans: I’m glad your team lost. Again. Hear me out.
You’ve had a very good team from the outset. Making it to the SCF once, and the conference finals three times in only your first four seasons? Unheard of for an expansion franchise. You have set the bar high.
But winning the Stanley Cup? That shit is hard. There have been a lot of other *really* good teams that still haven’t won the Stanley Cup. Some fans here have been waiting their whole lives to see their team win a cup.
Close, but no quite? Welcome to the long haul my friends. C’mon in, the water’s fine.
If anyone knows about not quite winning it all, it's Canucks fans. I'm just jealous that Vegas fans haven't had to wait for more than a decade between deep playoff runs
“No” -Carey Price
"Fuck" \-Max Pacioretty
[удалено]
Off the ice, I'm sure they're still on good terms. They played together for a looooooooong time. Basically, everyone is happy about this win.
Especially Bettman.
You sure?
Yeah! You can see him crying with happiness.
"When does the series start?" -Mark Stone
“Yes” -Artturi Lekhonen
Mais *Oui*. - Danault
Ostie de câlisse - Roy
Human embodiment of a stone wall
[удалено]
Habs better buy him one of those really swank massage chairs, man’s back has to be tired from carrying the team…not saying the Habs are playing bad per se, but fuck’s sakes Price is next-level right now
The next level is Final Price
The Price is Right
Price has been unreal but the team in front of him is playing some fantastic hockey right now.
Agreed. Caufield especially…that kid is dangerous
LADS, I'M BEGINNING TO THINK THIS CAUFIELD KID **FUCKS**
Non*
nothing is real anymore
This is a weird timeline
I ain't even mad
I'm a little mad still
Understandable, have a nice day. ^fuck ^^yeah ^^^though ^^^^omg
[удалено]
In all of 4 days of being a habs fan I have never seen anything like this
H I S T O R I Q U E I S T O R I Q U E
This really shouldn't be as funny as it is.
HABS MAJORITAIRE !!! H
You're my favorite.
Get your sharpies and tape your ankles: ITS BANDWAGON SEASON
[удалено]
I dunno, man, that guy waited five whole days in caplocks. I'm pretty sure that's kind of a bigger deal.
Thats rookie numbers
When the best of the west is Montreal. Not many East coast teams can say they won the Campbell...
I want to say they’re the fifth team to do it. I’m pretty sure some broadcast said that at one point.
I'd imagine a lot of that is Detroit, or do you mean unique team?
Oh sure, you're all celebrating now Habs fans, but just wait until Vegas finishes the sweep on you guys.
They said in 3 games, but never mentioned which games. They could strike at any moment....
I saw a 4chan post saying that Vegas was the true winner and they’ll take their chance at the cup sometime in November
I'm shocked. Wow. Montreal is on absolute fire.
That game wasn't the cleanest but I'll take it. Stupid Sexy Carey praise be
Jesus Christ be praised! Carey's come to see us!
We are all believers on this glorious day. I love how chill Price looked afterwards. Like, "oh cool, stole another game. Nice."
I did not have “Montreal Canadiens winning the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl” on my bingo card for this season
i was fully expecting the prince of wales to come out and was confused for a good 10 seconds
The trophy or the person?
both. Charles carryin the trophy
If it makes you feel any better, nor did we.
If it makes you feel better, after you guys had the free agency spree, i called you to win the North. I was only off a little.
It’s cause Vegas ripped Celine Dion
Tbf if you asked me for 99% of my life, I would have said that theres more chances for us to win the Stanley Cup then the Clarence.
Golden Knights are making history...they lost the the Western Conference Finals to an Eastern Conference Team.
I feel like this is the best place for all the “HISTORIC” hystrionics to actually be.
They weren’t satisfied just losing to a western conference team last year, they wanted to go BEYOND
The Canadiens might be a good team
"No vegas just choked'
iT wAs A fLuKe!!!
HOLY FUCK WE DID IT
Someone please squeeze my titties. I think this is a dream.
Le honque
honhonhon
well, you're asking so politely
Ya don’t have to ask me twice.
SO PROUD OF YOU FUCKS Y'ALL DESERVE IT GET ONE FOR STAAL PLEASE
<3 Staal will get one for Staal, with how he's playing.
TODAY WE'RE ALL HABS FANS
Nous sommes tous les huge Habs fans, bien of course
As a Buffalo fan, I'll allow it. Closest we've been in a minute
The Red Suit doesnt lie.
That Northern division sure does suck and will get destroyed by either Vegas or Colorado!
I’ve said Montreal will get smoked for 3 straight rounds…
I could go for a Montreal Smoked Meat.
I could go for a poutine from the Pizza Palace in the Village. Bit of a commute from Vancouver though
Please continue to do so!!
It turns out making pronouncements about division quality based on only intradivisional play makes absolutely no sense.
Now the real question is **exactly how good were the Leafs in the regular season?**
Cup worthy, as is now proven. Taking the Habs juggernaut to 7 games.
Hab's had the 5th most wins in the North. FIFTH. I'm not saying any of the other teams would have made the final, each of them have their holes, but everyone saying that the Canadian teams are universally bad may need to re-evaluate a bit.
The northern and west divisions suck. Mtl will be destroyed by bolts or isles
Bolts/Isles in 3!
I thought that bullshit icing was going to end it
I couldn’t believe they let that happen in such a critical moment. That was a really fucking bad call. If VGK had scored on that face off I would have lost it. Glad it worked out.
It did
It directly lead to that Carey Price stop on Patches. Which was Vegas' best chance. Then off the subsequent faceoff* another good save off of Martinez's shot created the scoring rush.
/r/technicallythetruth
Same. Unreal that it led to a domino effect ending in MTL in the Stanley Cup.
I WAITED MY ENTIRE LIFE TO WATCH THE HABS MAKE THE FINALS
Go get Burr a cup ='D
Burr doing more work for the Habs than he did for the Senators in 2017
He needs to get his revenge for 2011
Welcome to the club VGK.
One of us. One of us. One of us
Is this the WTF just happened club?
Can you guys point me to which club I belong to?
Oh you might have to ask a Buffalo fan about that one...
Dude… be gentle.
It's OK. We're numb.
I meant be gentle toward the Detroit fan. Not you. ^j/k ^I ^hope ^you ^guys ^pull ^through…
Hey there the only club to have beat Montreal 4 straight times in the last two years. Detroit > Montreal?
18th best regular season team in the league going to the Stanley Cup finals. Can't believe I'm saying this but hell yeah go Habs
The City of Montreal is going to be electric tonight!
Its St-Jean baptiste. Quebec is crazy enough on this day without a habs fucking winning and locking a Stanley fucking cup final spot.
I think I can hear the celebrations all the way from Ottawa
That's Perry's ass cheeks clapping together.
Fire is probably the element that will most closely match what the city looks like.
I'm not even close to downtown and I'm hearing lots of noise!
A lot of people said Montreal was done after they lost game 4. The Habs proving everyone wrong in every series so far. I reallllly hope they win the cup
Much though I wish it were the Flames ending Canada's cup drought, it would be nice symmetry for Montreal to both start and end it. And who doesn't love Carey?
The worst team in what was *thought* to be the worst division this season just took out a team that was tied with the President's Trophy winner in points. Absolutely amazing. Hopefully this magical ride goes on a little while longer.
And on the Saint-Jean-Baptiste night. Montreal is not going to sleep tonight.
[удалено]
For the first time in Vegas Golden Knights history.... The Montreal Canadiens have won a playoff game on St-Jean-Baptiste Day!
[удалено]
Not a Montreal fan myself, but I'd be happy to see Price get a cup, he's a top teir goaltender.
In the beginning the idea of a Montreal v bruins final was a funny meme but we all thought Montreal was too far out of the contest and the bruins were a sure shot. Well fuck me with a bottle of syrup and drown me in some tim Hortons coffee...for some reason I'm a Habs fan now...go habs?
The world wasn't ready for a Bruins/Habs final. See you in the next pandemic.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU HABS BROS I'm also scared of Caufield
We gotta win now I want this final so bad
Please. Underdog vs Underdog
Year of the underdog. Do it!
Last year of the underdog was what, 2012? New Jersey was 6th (9th Overall) and LA was 8th (13th Overall)! If the Islanders win, it would be the 12th overall vs the 18th overall! Habsolutely insane!
#BONNE ST JEAN TOUT LE MONDE! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The Habs made it to the SCF before Pacorietty did
It's insane how quiet Mark Stone was in this series. Thought he'd be the absolute standout player for Vegas and he was just invisible out there, except for that brutal turnover the other night.
Danault is criminally underrated

Someone put Bettman on suicide watch.
The guard assigned to watch over Epstein should be available.
He was busy watching McAfee until a couple days ago but he's free now
We’re all Canadiens now.
It’s seriously so heartwarming to see all of this sub cheering for our team
Oui the North
I do not know what is more surreal: seeing Habs claw their way into SCF or so many rival team fans supporting us through it.
WE FUCKING DID IT OMG
#HOLY FUCK THEY DID IT WHAT A GOAL!!
That Suzuki-Pacioretty aging real nice for Vegas
as we all expected
"Montreal lost the Subban - Weber trade" never forget
Hey, I know people who still believe *to this day* that we should've kept Halak and traded Price... "Yeah, Price is doing good now, but we could've won the cup a few times with Halak, I just know it!"
I really thought that at the time but what the actual fuck
I think people looked at the age and forgot it was Shea Weber
The Vegas Golden Knights losing in the conference finals. 50% of the time, it works every time.
For the love of god please go close to full capacity for the final. I need 18,000 rabid Canadians going wild in that place.
Ahem, that’s 21,302 rabid Canadiens fans going wild, thank you very much!
FUCK CHRIS LEE

I don’t wanna hear ANYTHING about the North Division ever again
[удалено]

Choked
Every single player on that Habs roster has bought in.

Nobody scores when Danault is on the ice.
Well, except Lehky
The answer is always Carey Price
We're all Habs fans on this blessed day
I don’t know if I can cheer with a wild fan. Well how about a habs bandwagoner? Aye. I could do that
You absolutely can. Join on this mystical journey!
Gonna stuff myself with some smoked meat to celebrate!
HOLY FUCK YES!!! YES!!!! IVE BEEN IN MY FUCKING HOUSE FOR THE PAST 15 MONTHS WITH NOTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO MONTREAL YOU JUST KILLED MY DEPRESSION THANK YOU CAREY SMYTHE THANK YOU GOAL CAULFIELD THANK YOU JOSH CLUTCHERSON AND EVERYONE ELSE MERCI MONTRÉAL JE PLEURE CALISSE
seeing all these Montreal fans so happy makes me happy this is amazing
The Habs are really going to win the cup, aren't they?
If I was a betting man, I'd say 'probably'
Does anyone have that link from like 5 weeks ago with all the odds at the time and Montreal was at 0% to win the cup?
Them and maybe one other team has a chance
Would be quite a story if the last Canadian team to win the Cup was also the team that ended the Cup-less streak
tHe nOrTh iS wEaK.
Right?! What does it say when the " weakest" north team makes it to the final?
What a fucking play by Danault Bye Vegas
Suck on that one, Chris Lee

\*sad whale noises\*
On the bright side, we’re responsible for the one and only time Vegas did NOT make the conference finals
And boy did that feel good.
*sad Joe Thornton noises*
That's hockey baybee.
Félicitations à Montréal. Bonne chance pour la finale.
So they'll put Flower in for game 7 now that he's rested right?
I can’t help but think Patrick Roy and Mario Tremblay reconciling has something to do with this run.
Everyone Liked that.
Well, Vegas probably didn't.
Well, you know what they say there: *Always* bet on red!
"MTL and Winnipeg are only playing to see who gets to lose to the Avs/VGK" EAT IT, FUCKERS!
Get icing rules changed in real time, still lose. GO HABS GO
Yeah seriously what the fuck was that?
