  2. Absolute legend. What an amazing playoff run that was. I can’t believe Philly somehow came down from 3-0 in the series, and 3-0 in game 7, to somehow have even more positive momentum than the Habs after beating Ovi and Sid as the 8th seed. I might have a few details wrong here, but the run was absolutely magical and Halak was so good.

    That was a fun playoff run.

    Was shocked when they traded Jaro right after, but was the right call for sure.

    He was so unreal in that run. they were getting outshot 2-1 every game, but he was a rock. True lightning in a bottle.

  5. His performance in Game 6 againts Washington is probably the Habs most epic one in the last 30 years.

    Kinda showing my age here but that 2010 run is one of my earliest vivid memories as a Habs fan. I remember watching the 2008 and 2009 playoffs as well, but I’ll never forget that run. So many memorable moments

    Jaro is the reason I *really* started to live and breathe being a Habs fan. 12-year old me was inconsolable when the trade dropped.

    That was a *hell* of a ride, they weren’t supposed to do anything and toppled the Presidents’ trophy winners and the defending champs.

    How can you not be romantic about hockey?

    581 games alltime.

    58th alltime as a non goalie is in the mats sundin territory.

    Pretty solid career.
