Nice to see those little guys in Ottawa sweaters cheering on their team. But I frankly don’t believe anyone who was older than five when the Sens joined the league who claims to be an actual Sens fan. Francois Gagnon, for example.
It showed them arguing back and forth. RC was reaming Campoli out over setting up an easy odd man rush for OTT. Campoli was arguing back. RC wasn’t pleased.
As I think SD said earlier, sometimes Lee criticism is over the top … but I am going to say that that is infrequently and barely at that. He really is a very poor referee. I expect no disagreement from anyone here, haha.

For ‘F’ sakes!!!! These errors have been around for a year!!!!! Seriously HIO is getting ripped off by their techs unless they work for free!!!
I’m still trying to figure out how that was holding on Cole. He has two hands on his stick the entire time, with the puck, ends up dumped on the ice, and gets called for holding.
I’m surprised Emelin wasn’t calling for diving when he got hit by the puck.
Did you watch the replay? He clearly had defenceman’s arm trapped by his and so pulled him down when he fell.
I was upset to see him go, cuz I thought Lee had finally called a penalty that helped Montreal. But, no, he proved true to form.
Say what you want about the officiating but those are dumb, dumb, dumb, DUMB penalties, Guess when you have such a great penalty-kill team, players have no qualms about taking selfish, stupid penalties. yep, watching a team play shorthanded so long is a real hoot. That will boost TV ratings.
But if it’s the only way you can score …
CBC obsessed with Subban. All they do is criticize every single thing he does, all game long. Never mind the actual game, let’s crap on Subban non-stop for two hours.
If your going to outlaw the PK hit then take hitting out altogether. At least the PK hit is one of the cleanest hits by a player no elbows or high sticks or running from behind.
i suspect that Subban’s ass-hit will be outlawed at one point. Not only is it careless, but potentially dangerous to the player being hit in regards to a back of the helmet to front of the face hit.
No different than the side of a helmet. They aren’t going to make or change a rule for a couple of non-injury hits per year. The worst that’s happened is Marchand getting winded.
I think the bottom 20 teams are closer than that even but not close to the 5-10 teams that top the league. Parity has levelled the playing field yes in that there are few really, really crappy teams. And those teams get the picks.
There are still a few teams that dominate. This season those teams are St. Louis, Detroit, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Rangers, and even though faltering a bit as of late, Vancouver, Chicago and Boston.
In that list I would say there is a 90% probability that you have your Cup winner.
I just had a horrible, and what I hope will not prove prophetic, vision.
PK skating up the ice, demonstrating his speed and skill, dodging defenders, then dumping it in at the red line…reminded me strongly of Gomez. Just for a moment, but it was terrifying.
Plekanec was his usual laconic self. McLean evidently wanted more sizzle from the “bother the player during the intermission with two cliche questions” interview and quipped that they needed Chris Neil to get Tomas Plekanec going for the interview, the way he got the senators going in the first period.
My main criticism of McLean isn’t these littel attempts to say something clever that just comes off like adick, it is that he feels he has to try to to do this all the time. He cannot just exit a segment wothout some stupid pun or idiot quip. Just leave it alone
Would love to see one of the Tank Commanders here go to Emelin after the game and tell him, “ya Hey you should of lost that would be better for the team!”
Hey Gerald! What do you think of the Bills spending $100m on Mario Williams? When I first heard of it, I thought Ralph Wilson must be on his deathbed,and he said: “Ah, what the hell..I can’t take it with me…give him the money.”
I was in complete shock, I am thinking Ralph Wilson is actually Howard Hughes and has no idea his money is being spent like that! The Guy is a great Defensive End, but will he stay motivated?
I don’t think anyone else had the caproom to offer him big bucks. Had a long chat with my buddy last night who is a huge Bills fan, he is excited but worried.
Hockey Inside/Out encourages lively debate, but there is a zero-tolerance policy regarding racism, profanity and behaviour that we deem to be offensive.
We will, without warning, ban those who do not abide by this simple rule, so as to maximize the enjoyment of readers and participants of both sexes and all ages.
I would like to change my vote on the poll, I will not be able to cheer for this Ottawa team in the Playoffs.
Go Habs Go, Go Jets Go!
One of my close friends is a Nouveau Sens fan. He asked me recently, “What’s an offside exactly?” LMAO
Obviously, I voted NO.
Good story.

Oh, I get it. They want to be the first team to have the best PK whilst finishing in the bottom 5.
Also, very interesting that having a combined special teams % over 100 is usually the mark of a good team. The Habs are well over 100.
Why do Swedes speak English better than guys from Sudbury?
Because most Sudbarians speak Franglais
Its time to switch to whiskey, we’ve been drinkin’ beer all night
Again…
Did CBC show a replay of campoli arguing with and rolling his eyes at RC? Man I hate that guy.
It showed them arguing back and forth. RC was reaming Campoli out over setting up an easy odd man rush for OTT. Campoli was arguing back. RC wasn’t pleased.
Where is Showy?
Boone is dissing the hood
“Karlsson on HNIC. Why do Swedes speak English better than guys from Sudbury?”
I believe he is in his car driving to Montreal to have a discussion with Boone!
Who thinks Habs will be dead tmr?
As I think SD said earlier, sometimes Lee criticism is over the top … but I am going to say that that is infrequently and barely at that. He really is a very poor referee. I expect no disagreement from anyone here, haha.
Full Breezer 4 Life
In all seriousness, do they even keep stats on number of penalties a ref calls on one team versus another?
In Hab games, Lee must have 4:1 penalties against MTL. At some point, WTF?
Is there a bigger tool on TV than Maclean?
Yes and HNIC is the toolbox!
Mike Milbury, Mario Tremblay, and PJ Stock are pretty big tools. I would say they compete well with Maclean.
Full Breezer 4 Life
Did CBC show a replay of campoli arguing with and rolling his eyes at RC? Man I hate that guy.
11 more games and we will not have to worry about him again.
Starting with McLean and Cherry. !!!!
I think our White has better hair than that Karlsson kid
Maclean is an A-hole. Not funny and makes some completely assenine comments.
So much love for Price and Karilson tonight, i thinK karl will become the next Phoneuf or how ever they spell it
What the hell is going on?
Just another Chris Lee gong show!
Interesting how this type of games follow him around.
Christopher Lee is Dracula..trying to suck the blood out of the Habs.
http://youtu.be/tMAW6RZR2fA
OUR habitats are refusing to go quietly into the night!
Bless their little hearts!
My highlight so far is still Boone saying “bitches” pre-game.
—————-
Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?
His Markov voice was disturbing.
It wasn’t the doll talking? Now I’m freakin’ out…
What the hell is going on tonight?

Very Fair Question.
Got Club Desjardin tickets for 4/4. Haven’t been to the city in 3 years, need recommendations on a pre-game bar and a post-game bar.
Chris Lee always has to steal the spotlight! He must have been an only child!
Was Markov Made In China??
Or the middle child.
AAAARRRRRGGGHHH!!!!

But if it’s the only way you can score …
Eller’s last penalty was stupid.
If you want to talk officiating, watch the non-call on Max getting boarded, and then Cole called for “holding”.
This is turning into pro wrestling level reffing.
So was PK’s on Neil in front of the net. And Cole did grab the defender’s arm.
Price is playing insane tonight. He’s stopped at least 3 shots that were almost sure goals. This could be the best game he’s played all year.
You mean the three posts that the O hit? Luck my friend….
Promote the Youth, Support From The Veterans and Remember the Heritage!
3 posts, plus 3 miraculous saves. Could easily be 4-5 goals.
You have to be good to be lucky.
Price is playing almost as well as his posts and crossbar.
Posts mean the shots missed, means nothing more then that.
For god sakes, Roy used to talk to his post and thank them every game, betcha he never got comments like that before
Took the words right from me Joe!
Way to go out on a limb hard habits.
It’s just my twisted sarcasm. It’s holds back the bile.
WTF? Why is Chris Lee refing? He’s such a piece of Sheeeite!
Promote the Youth, Support From The Veterans and Remember the Heritage!
My god how many penalties will there be by the end of the game….Josh’s body must be all black and blue
Watching this game reffed by Chris Lee on CBC is a goddamned comedy of errors – but the Habs are still winning…
it. Draft 10th for all I care. This is too much fun.
I really hope they carry this into the next season though.
If it makes you feel better, Benoit Pouliot was drafted 4th.
Yikes!
ffs, are we going to watch our PK all night?
Oh what the heck, we’re good at it.
This game has no flow whatsoever, agree LL, you don’t mind if I still call you that right?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4kH15Ny2ho
Fire Chris Lee!
Richard R
Geez. Price is totally on the tank wagon, trying to let the sens win, but they keep hitting the post!!!!
Bourque The New Jan Bulis…..
Ferchrissakes…
I don’t know why people rag on Bourque.
I like how Bergeron described him, “Ca, s’t'un jouer d’hockey.”
I don’t know why people cheer for the Habs to lose.
Not that I do that, but you have heard of the draft lottery, right?
You have read enough of my posts to know the answer to that.
What’s up with the refs tonite? Do they have a bet as to who can call the most penalties.
I tuned in 16 minutes ago. When they gonna start playing hockey?
You missed it. There was a 30 second stretch in the 1st period.
LOL. Thanks for making me laugh guys!!!
I see a bunch of guys playing “stick and puck” stuff. Hockey? …not so much.
Eller has to learn not to do that and rather skate hard. He takes that penalty alot.
Face palm.
Chris Lee @#$%@#$%^&^%$#$$%%$&&^%$
Ahhh, that felt good.
CBC obsessed with Subban. All they do is criticize every single thing he does, all game long. Never mind the actual game, let’s crap on Subban non-stop for two hours.
I know Price is good at playing the puck, but he has been playing with fire far too often this year. He has the burn marks to prove it
If your going to outlaw the PK hit then take hitting out altogether. At least the PK hit is one of the cleanest hits by a player no elbows or high sticks or running from behind.
Jack Edwards, the Bruins’ homer announcer, is less anti-Habs than these CBC ass-clowns.
Every word out of their mouth is crapping on us for something or other. They were even implying that the last boarding call on Subban was embellished.
They haven’t said one positive thing about the Habs, the entire game. Even when we do something good, they have a snide comment about it.
The Turds won’t last long in the play offs…they suck big time
Battle of the special teams…who sucks the most
no way that puck was offside. Terrible call.
The Zebras were really trying to give the Sens the game
Good old Simpson blame the Victim, go hang with Cherry Simpson.
What else was Subban supposed to do on that hit by #9…..
Get away with boarding Patches, so they try it on Subban too.
i suspect that Subban’s ass-hit will be outlawed at one point. Not only is it careless, but potentially dangerous to the player being hit in regards to a back of the helmet to front of the face hit.
I disagree. It’s a devastating hit when done properly but it rattles the body not the head.
No different than the side of a helmet. They aren’t going to make or change a rule for a couple of non-injury hits per year. The worst that’s happened is Marchand getting winded.
Brian McCabe of The Leafs did that ass hit for awhile until he got too slow & old to carry it out…….
Wasn’t that a Scott Stevens patent hit?
dangerous, you can’t be serious
Appears that the NHL recognizes the “abilities” of Chris F Lee as well.
In a 10 plus year career he has been allowed 4 count them 4 playoff games!
Says it all!
Good to hear!
Send Lee back to the minors. He takes all the fun out of hockey games.
Richard R
Emelin back in…..tough mother.
That Subban hit was so hard it winded me!
Hello, This is next week call for Greening.
Its time to switch to whiskey, we’ve been drinkin’ beer all night
Boone, what did MacLean say?
I was wondering the same thing.
Notwithstanding the Habs recent improved play, the Senators look like crap.
Parity in the NHL has that affect on many playoff teams.
I think the bottom 20 teams are closer than that even but not close to the 5-10 teams that top the league. Parity has levelled the playing field yes in that there are few really, really crappy teams. And those teams get the picks.
There are still a few teams that dominate. This season those teams are St. Louis, Detroit, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Rangers, and even though faltering a bit as of late, Vancouver, Chicago and Boston.
In that list I would say there is a 90% probability that you have your Cup winner.
Wow, can’t see them going anywhere.
SUBBANG BABY!
Kind of a love in for price…
I just had a horrible, and what I hope will not prove prophetic, vision.
PK skating up the ice, demonstrating his speed and skill, dodging defenders, then dumping it in at the red line…reminded me strongly of Gomez. Just for a moment, but it was terrifying.
No Markov, no Gomez, no Kaberle, no powerplay.
Better we try for the short handed goals to win here.
Just got home, haven’t spotted Markov yet, was he given a night off?
Night off
cool. Thanks. It makes sense, ease the man into it.
Pk draws penalty
If Chris Lee weren’t one of the referees in this game it would be a miracle that the Senators haven’t been called for a dive yet.
What great Penalty Killing by this team. That is nothing but effort! Great to see from the boys!
It’s an away home crowd tonight.
When I see the sacrifices Gorges, Emelin and others make with their bodies, how can I cheer against them?
Go Habs Go!
May Giant spiders visit Chris Lee tonight.
Go Spiders Go!
Come on even the refs are trying to help the Habs to tank.
what did Ron McLean say, that made Boone call him an a-hole?
Plekanec was his usual laconic self. McLean evidently wanted more sizzle from the “bother the player during the intermission with two cliche questions” interview and quipped that they needed Chris Neil to get Tomas Plekanec going for the interview, the way he got the senators going in the first period.

“Et le but!”
So well said.
Nice Dive Karlsson!
Its time to switch to whiskey, we’ve been drinkin’ beer all night
Typical Chris Lee game
if Ottawa can’t win this game, then I don’t see them doing much in the playoffs…
Cracked Ribs!
Would love to see one of the Tank Commanders here go to Emelin after the game and tell him, “ya Hey you should of lost that would be better for the team!”
Burly aren’t you a tanker now?
I am no tanker, I would love a high draft pick, but I still cheer like a madman every gamenight for a win! Sorry bud.
I respect your position
Hey Gerald! What do you think of the Bills spending $100m on Mario Williams? When I first heard of it, I thought Ralph Wilson must be on his deathbed,and he said: “Ah, what the hell..I can’t take it with me…give him the money.”
I was in complete shock, I am thinking Ralph Wilson is actually Howard Hughes and has no idea his money is being spent like that! The Guy is a great Defensive End, but will he stay motivated?
Williams is injury prone and if you check his record, his sack total has gone down every year he’s been in the league.
I don’t think anyone else had the caproom to offer him big bucks. Had a long chat with my buddy last night who is a huge Bills fan, he is excited but worried.
Great move. Mario the beast.
Looks like the rib.
Our team has warriors on the PK
