LET’S GOOOOO SMITH/MICHKOV
Man. I wanted the miracle so much
Didn’t drop, but still sad
FUCK CHICAGO
THATS A GREAT PICK NONETHELESS LETS BE HYPED UP GUYS
See you in 3 years Michkov
Not down, nor up.
Cromulent.
Best case Ontario. Don’t let Bedard be a Hawk.
Edit: This aged so poorly. Ban me.
Slight win! We were more likely to pick 6th than 5th so I’ll take this for sure!
All good. Top 5 pick in a deep draft is great. Go Habs Go
At least one of Smith, Michkov, Carlsson is guaranteed, not bad.
Mitchkov or Smith right ?
No excuses for not getting an elite player this year. We know what 1/2 will be but being guaranteed one of Carlsson/Smith/Michkov means they better not overthink this and blow it
Dropping to 7th would’ve been a nightmare, missing out on the top 6 Players, so it’s Benson, Michkov, or Smith, any of these players would’ve been 1st or 2nd overall last year
MAAAAAAN I got so giddy when I kept seeing the order not changing, so theoretically giving us a chance to win both #1 or #2, and then we just show up at 5 lol. Still happy but fuck I really started to believe there
Last time habs picked 5th was carey price, let’s go!!
Thank god its not 6th or 7th. After the top 5 is more or less a gamble
Its not 6 or 7!! Whoop
Carey Price was picked 5th just saying
I hope we don’t skip Michkov if he’s available, we are in a great spot the draft
It’s better than 7th!!!
Pain
At least we didn’t drop and it’s a deeper draft than most years. Still gonna get a great player, it’s just not Bedard lol. Michkov intrigues the hell out of me as a player, but his contractural situation and all the fuckery involved with russia scares me lol
Huge we’re still in the top 5
Very happy with that, no complaints from me. Would have loved to move up but was very worried about falling to 7th and having it be more of a gamble.
Thank goodness ill take 5th were getting a stud this draft
Fuck Chicago lmao, at least we only have to see Bedard twice a year though
If Michkov is there and we pass on him…
Fuck the Blackhawks
I’m more upset that Chicago Got the pick than we didn’t.. fuck the Blackhawks man.
5th is what we deserve.
Chicago does not deserve a 1st round pick at all.
Fuck Chicago.
Im happy that Bedard isnt in our conference, and that we didnt drop. Sucks we didnt improve but lets hope for a great player!
Bedard would have been awesome, but there are some incredible talents in this draft top 5 that we’ll be able to pick from.
Love Slaf, but 5th overall this year > 1st overall last year
My worst fear.
Smith gets taken at 4.
Habs pass on Michkov at #5.
Arrggghhhh
