Where? I don’t live in montreal….:(
Not only should Hab fans “act like we’ve been there before” but the looters aren’t even part of the hockey madness, they’re just classless pieces of sh*t that don’t even deserve a mention.
They are sold everywhere… they’re just sold out.

First, I think Glen Metropolit is playing injured.
Second, there is NO WAY Ovenchicken should be mentioned in the same breath with Stanley Cup winners like the Rocket, Orr, Gretzky and even Crosby.
Third, your “win a Cup in Toronto” statement should’ve included “when pigs fly”.
city should impose an 11:30pm st catherine street curfew…. those people who destroy stores put a black mark on this city. it’s a hockey game……
Did the team fly back last night or are they going to stay on the road? And I’m betting CBC has the habs series and TSN has the hawks/sharks series! Any confirmation on that?
SHaker
So how can I buy a Subban t-shirt? Why are they STILL not sold anywhere? Does marketting not want my cash?
In their post-game comments, both Brooks Orpik and Bill Guerin displayed the kind of class that Crosby so conspicuously lacked all series.
“You’ve just got to start giving credit to this team, this is a good team
we lost to here.” Pittsburgh defenseman Brooks Orpik
said.
And Guerin said: “Obviously, you have to give Montreal a lot of credit. They played some
amazing hockey this series. Their defensive play was incredible. Their
team play was as good as I’ve seen. They deserve a lot of the credit.”
Mike Cammalleri could very well be developing into a world class player right before our eyes.
They need (and deserve) a little rest.
With Subban playing the game he is playing… Someone is probably going to get moved or go unsigned on the D side next year.
Haha….you thumb your nose at the man who put every piece of this team other than Dominic Moore together.
Did you not see who Ray Shero congratulated first last night?
There’s a reason for that my friend.
Getting to the 3rd round is great and even though many feel proud of the team…I am just feeling happy for the guys who never thought they would get this far, the older guys, the grinders: like Metropolit despite his 2:50 in playing time, Dominic Moore (even though he is only 29 he looks much older), Darche the journeyman despite his 2:50 in playing time, etc. and for the younger guys it is a good thing to experience when younger…I don’t think Subban ever thought his path to the NHL 3rd round would be through the AHL 1st round, Pyatt is experiencing what hockey is all about in Montreal and what makes playing hockey so special.
Also, Cammalleri said it best post-game when he echoed what we are all saying now: they were written off on July 1st, during the regular season, the 1st round and the 2nd round and here they are now going into the 3rd…but it is what it is, they just need to continue having fun.
To me, there are three ways to hockey immortality
1) Be an awesome player like Richard, Orr, Crosby, Gretzky, Ovechkin, etc.;
2) Win a Cup in Toronto;
3) Win a Cup in Montreal or better yet, win a few Cups in Montreal.
No one on the Habs roster is of the quality of (1)…many of us hope (2) never happens…but this bunch is halfway to (3) and having their names live on forever…look at how much we still gush over ’93 and ’86…
The Bruins or Flyers will not be easy…they play more physical and the B’s play a defensive scheme…good luck to Les Boys.
“I am guilty of using elipses…”
My wife during the game: “Jesus, I wish someone would wipe the smirk off Lapierre’s face.” “I think that’s the point.” “Still.”
And happy b’days to Halak and Subban!
Here’s hoping you’ll be playing in the middle of May in the years to come
I usually pay double.. sometimes more.. at StubHub.. always tickets there, even for Superbowl etc.
Well, the ref did feed Kunitz in the slot for the Pens first goal HAHHAHA
Not sure about chewing off arms but I am sure that Mario might want to chew out a few guys in his lineup. But after shutting down two high powered offensive teams I am not sure that the other teams are as much to blame for what they doing wrong as the Habs are to be recognized for what they are doing right.
Normally, when looting occurs, it is the opportunists that see so much chaos they know they can get away witht heft much easier.. people that break the law anyway and see an opportunity to get an “easy score.” Can’t remember the last time I celebrated anything by going into town and stealing and smashing a bunch of stuff… well besides when my GST cheque comes every three months AHHAHAA
Where are all the conspiracy theory fools?
boy did those refs ever screw us last night!
OH YEAH!!!!! The boys have a few days off.. have some beer, ice the wounds, enjoy the moment! Hopefully the duct tape holds Gill’s leg together and Markov figures out how to skate with the knee brace!
I will admit, I didn’t watch a whole lot of games while Mara was playing (other than the two I saw live at the Bell Centre Superbowl weekend.. where we beet the Pens) he is skating.. would he help us or is he done for the year? Any word on Markov? or is he just desperate to get back out there with no real chance of returning?
Reported on Team 990 this morning, Sidey Crosby had a lower body injury throughout series, he had a bad case of diaper rash!
you have no chance…most of the tickets are already taken by season ticket holders…of the ticketd on sales very few are actually for the public
Re: Riot!? 19 950 fans at the Bell Centre, and 50 or so idiots (if they were even at the game)!
You keep repeating this idiotic statement, and others, without any embarrassment whatsoever. We used to call people like you a troll on this site.
So tickets for game 4 – what are the odds of actually getting into the “virtual” lineup and picking up a set?
Idiot.
The main difference being you don’t feel the need to chew your own arm off in the morning.
You leave me little notes on my pillow. Told you 158 times I can’t stand little notes on my pillow. “We’re all out of cornflakes. F.U.” Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Unger!
This years Habs are kind of like the ugly guy or girl that is really great at sex. Ain’t always pretty to watch but it still leaves the other side screwed senseless.
“What a blast. This is just a great group of guys coming together,” Gomez said.
S’What it’s all about!
“We didn’t give up and we are not giving up.” – Jaroslav Halak
Don Cherry made an excellent point last night. Sure, BG signed small players, but he also signed Moen and Gill (I don’t think he mentioned Mara). Kind of balances out. And these small guys play huge. To wit: Gionta always playing in traffic in front of the net.
?…
FEEL THE PRIDE!
The rioting is embarrassing for the majority of Montrealers except the baby brained looters.
It happens a lot now and not only in Montreal. I remember Detroit set on fire in ’89 after the Pistons won. I remember the morons who looted on Yonge St. in ’92 after the Rodney King verdict.
Opportunistic pieces of sh*t is all they are.
Wow. I couldn’t even post last night after the game. Kudos to those who are able to watch and post…too difficult for me.
I just want to say, this is the first time I am experiencing the Habs make it past Round 2. This is new to me and I am loving every single minute of it.
Sooner or later, the boys are going to have to realize that they are supposed to be here.
Go Habs Go
Listening to Crosby after the game I think he needs to learn the basic rules of the game. A lot of discretion allowed in a boarding penalty and hitting a guy into the boards a long time after the puck is moving up to the other end of the ice ain’t exactly the smartest thing to do.
“We’re trying to get better here as a team and I think we’re getting
better,” Cammalleri said. “We improved in this series, we didn’t play
hang-on as much as we did in the first series. I don’t claim we’re this
great team and I don’t claim we’re perfect and I’m not claiming that
everything we do is on purpose. We’re just trying to find ways to win
and we’re improving as we go. If you saw us on our toes a little more,
maybe we’re improving a little bit.”
Another idiotic statement. Pro-riot, are ya? Oh well, God still loves you, brother.
What an idiotic statement. God loves you anyway.
because after he resigned so many moves were made. why not celebrate success today??
Habs hockey = Smart hockey we work as a team, and we win as a team. we play 5 man defence – not just 2.
a word about the rioters. montreal seems to allow it! the youth in montreal are NO DIFFERENT than the youth in any major city all over the world.
the difference here: montreal police allow the rioting to start and then its too late.
Hello POLICE!!!
How about we figure out how to control the crowds BEFORE the riots begin???
I don’t blame the youth – they are idiotic and intoxicated – no different than anywhere.
If you don’t appreciate rioting and looting – and I don’t, since I live here with my family – its time to start holding the people responsible…..accountable.
The police who were supposed to keep the peace last night should be held accountable.
It’s not about individual players, I think, except for Halak … Remember that we beat the Pens in game 6 without Gill.
The team is playing with a lot of heart and as a unit and has the benefit of a good coach who knows how to make adjustments when they are due.
Two guys I wanted to see pulverized last night:
Crosby for being such a whiny crybaby and Cooke for being such a douche player. Then again, they’re cleaning out their lockers today and we’re waiting for the next round.
Justice is done!

“Without the strength of the past, the team may face a choice – to win, or to be French-Canadian?” — Ken Dryden
The two best moves Gainey ever did as GM were to hire JM and to resign … Without either one of these moves, the present playoff run would not even be happening.
GO HABS GO !!!
Any believers yet? The Gainey bashers, the Martin haters and the Kovaloafers can officially STFU.
GO HABS!
I guess well never know ,but Gill said something to Cooke during the handshake, I wonder if it was about that very pathetic move.
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
there is a song by Godsmack, “crying like a b#$ch”, just youtube it, very fitting especially after this series
Matt Cooke deserves a little old fashioned hockey justice for his grab on Gill’s injured leg. It is pretty clear on the video that Cooke went for the leg on purpose.
Yea, good answer. You dont approve of the rioting, do you?
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Loved the HNIC Montage from last night http://www.youtube.com/user/HockeyHaven76#p/u/5/iwG1ydK9bWc specially the part where cammy is on the bench.
People who don’t like the riots might as well move to Toronto where they never have to worry about playoff riots … ever
I am so frickin’ proud !!! So much for all those nay-sayers and the “The Pens have so much more depth than the Caps” fraction …
At least the Caps didn’t collapse like that in game 7 and Ovi managed a few goals against us whereas Crosby was nothing more than a spectator on the ice.
And Halak is beginning to sound like a broken record with his constant “we’re not even supposed to be here” and “nobody gave us a chance”. Well, Jaro, you’re wrong: We are very much supposed to be here and a lot of people among us like the guy above me, the one below be and myself gave us a chance.
After all, we are on a mission and neither the Caps nor the Pens were gonna get in the way of our date with destiny !!!
GO HABS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahh, the rioting, That really sucked. I dont get it. Is it that people cant handle their drinking or is that they just like to emabarrass their city. Either way, I know they dont represent the real fan but I wish they would learn how to act and leave the spotlight where it belongs, on the Team and the City
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
So apparently signing Hal Gill turned the balance of power from the Penguins to the Canadiens. Whoulda thunk it?!?
Scott Gomez and his owner … lol
“We didn’t give up and we are not giving up.” – Jaroslav Halak
I don’t approve of rioting any more than I approve of earthquakes and tsunamis … However, they all happen and I learned to live with it.
It’s not the first time there are playoff riots in Montreal and you’d expect Montreal police would find a way to deal with it.
I LOVE that Jaro is winning games. I love it even more that he’s playing at his best in elimination games. But to put him in the same league as Roy, only two rounds into the playoffs? A little premature, don’t you think? What about that little detail of, say, winning the Cup?
_____________________________________
Cheer for the crest on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back.
I would say the chances are very good … There are still many individual playoff tickets available through the Canadiens web site, I did not have any problems getting tickets for the Caps and Pens series.
A few tips:
1) Using multiple browsers (or browser sessions) on the same computer does not increase your chances and believe me, I tried … There probably is a way, but I was too busy buying tickets to figure out exactly how to trick the system … lol
2) Using multiple computers (even if they share the same public IP address via NAT) works, so try to borrow a few extra computers/notebooks for Saturday and join the virtual waiting room with a browser on each machine.
3) You can only get two tickets at a time (using a single credit card), so trying to get consecutive seats for a larger group of people is next to impossible.
4) Tickets are expensive … getting a few extra tickets and selling them for a little profit in order to pay for your own tickets would not hurt. Remember, if you don’t do it, the scalpers sure will snatch them (and attempt to sell for 2-3 times the face value).
Yeah, because he was lights-out fantastic in that game where his SV% was under .840… and the two others under .760.
What I’ve loved most about Jaro’s play is that he’s played his absolute best when the team has faced elimination. Let’s all hope that he continues to do so.
And my point of view is not about disrespecting Jaro. It’s about acknowledging other players who are just as responsible for the team’s success.

Nice try, Chuck. Halak’s performance is already on par with the all time greats, and he did it against arguably the two best teams in the league, and teams that score a lot. Philly is doing it to the Bruins, the lowest scoring team the league this season.
And Roy was never in a game where his team was OUTSHOT by 32 shots, as Halak was in his 53 save performance in game 6 against the Caps. He is also 5-0 in elimination games. Like it or not, Chuck (and I know you don’t like it), a legend has been born.

That’s certainly true and he deserves credit for making these radical changes although neither Gainey nor anyone else could possibly foresee what would happen during the playoffs … Let me ask you this though:
If the current team would have lost the series against the Caps in 4 or 5 games, would you have blamed Gainey for putting this team together? If yes, then fair enough … If not, then it would seem that there is some double standard here whereby Gaines gets the credit when the team succeeds but is immune to criticism in the absence of any success.
Yeah but Friedman really brought himself down a notch in my book when he was interviewing Brian Gionta between periods during last game vs. Toronto, all he could ask Gio was what he thought of the Leafs’ first line, about how much they’d improved, Leafs this, Leafs that, no wonder all of CANADA HATES TORONTO.
Crosby had a hard time understanding the strategy of giving up a 2-1 shots against ratio as a means of winning a series.
Orpik and Geurin gave credit where credit was due.
The difference between being mature and not I guess.
Not to take anything away from Halak, but last night the Flyers proved why heaping all of the praise on the goalie might be a little misguided. They’re one win away from the conference finals, and are on their third goalie of the playoffs… and Leighton only started 31 games this year and had a .905 SV%.
As I’ve said before, Halak has been stunning in a number of games… but we’ve also won games that he’s come far from stealing. And at time he’s also flat-out sucked.
In the ’86 playoffs, Roy was 15-5 with a 1.93 GAA (at a time when goal scoring was a LOT higher than today). Halak already has 5 losses through 2 rounds, with a respectable 2.42 GAA. If he wins his next 8 games and lowers his GAA by half a point, then we can start comparing his overall performance to Roy.

Ok…..I guess we have a different idea of what an adjustment is. I thought you were referring to things he was doing in game that were having an effect on the outcome. As for the Powerplay thing, no adjustments were made, they just got back to shot blocking. Something they didn’t do well on the kill in game 1 which Martin actually noted, no adjustments, just better lane obstruction.
As for Gainey. He doesn’t deserve all of the credit for the team’s success because nobody does. Just like he didn’t deserve to be verbally abused by people like you when the team was hovering around .500 during the season.
If the coach and the players are to receive all of the credit for wins, why would the GM be the target of blame for losses?
It’s clear at this point that he identified and signed players with heart that wouldn’t accept mediocrity like the prior group did.
It’s painful to say but a team led by Saku Koivu never responded well to adversity. There’s a large difference in the quality of people in the room now than there was at this time last year.
You can nitpick at the moves he made up until July and I’m sure that he would agree that there were mistakes. He admitted mistakes when he let eight players go without trying to retain their services and brought in a new core overnight.
That facelift was the catalyst for the product you see now.
*facepalm, utter disbelief at the disrespect to Jaro*
Speechless

Ed, thank you for your post which illustrates clearly how the normal ordinary average Joe has no clue whatsoever about crowd-control.
Habs hockey = Smart hockey we work as a team, and we win as a team. we play 5 man defence – not just 2.
flew back home. we dont play again until sunday night. cbc for certain we show habs.
My bad … I meant surviving 1st round instead of reaching it.
And by the way, last time we reached round 1 Gainey had almost absolute control over the team as both GM and coach and it did not go well, even though it was him who picked all the players in the team.
Mara was a 1-yr signing; I don’t expect him back. Bergeron was a 1-yr signing, and now that we see Subban also has a howitzer from the point, I don’t really expect him back.
Remember also, that we have both Webber and Belle who are ready for the big-show. While Carle lalso ooked ready, he is just way too injury-prone.
Jaro’s been stunning in 4 games, and has played well enough to get W’s in the rest of the Hab wins. Cammy has been lights-out excellent in EVERY game. And without his timely scoring, we’re pooched.
_____________________________________
Cheer for the crest on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back.
Adjustments that JM made during the last two series? Hmmm, containing the Penguins power play after they struck 4 times in game 1, moving Moen in line with Gionta & Gomez, letting Halak rest during game 4 of Caps series come to mind … all of these were done in response to failures/shortcomings he saw in previous games.
I have no doubt that apart from the players that Gainey picked, the team also needed a new direction and leadership in order to succeed …
There is little reason to think that another year with Gainey on the helm would result in any different results from what we’ve seen over the past 6-7 years.
Cammy is a close second, but the nod goes to Halak. EVERY single member of the media agrees with this, BTW. Dryden like performance. Roy like performance. Now in the future it will also be called Halak like…

Also Malkin should have been in the box for damn near tearing Giontas head off after the 2nd that game too!
That’s something that I’ve been pondering lately, as phenominally as Halak has played it seems unthinkable that the MVP would go to anyone else, but what if the playoffs end and Cammi has 24 goals?
You leave me little notes on my pillow. Told you 158 times I can’t stand little notes on my pillow. “We’re all out of cornflakes. F.U.” Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Unger!
LOL .. Healy is a moron … doesn’t bring anything to the broadcast … jar is always 1/2 empty .. I loved it when Elliote F cut him off “twice ” during the post game sumarries !!! Friedman .. now there’s a guy I can listen to .
Funny. I thought they reached the 2nd round twice prior to this year with Gainey as GM.
Messier is in way over his head .. his selection of Ott and Downie proves that !
You know, I was real impressed with Staal, He would look great in Bleu, Blanc et Rouge but he is signed through 12-13 at 4 million a year
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
DarrenDreger
I don’t expect either Crosby or Staal will accept an invite to Germany and the Worlds. I do expect Messier will ask…today.
I figured he wouldn’t go, now i’m certain.
Darren Dreger is such a Leaf troll. I don’t know if many of you know it but he is the host of LeafsLunch, a daily radio show on AM640 in Toronto. How he gets his pasty mug on all the national networks to spew his facts is beyond me, gimme unbiased Bob McKenzie any day!
I just can’t overlook Gill for the Conn Smythe if our Habs pull this off.
It’s such an unfair trophy. Undoubtedly Halak would get it and it isn’t like he’s undeserving. But how do you thumb your nose and Cammalleri, Gorges and Gill.
Gill probably has more saves than Nabakov.
Now THAT’S commitment to the team concept!

7 teams have advanced to the 2nd round 3 times since 2003-2004. Our Habs are one of them and only Detroit and San Jose have done it more than three times.
Yeah, we should be glad Bob Gainey’s resigned.
I’ll add that nobody in our division has done it.
What’s with Farber?
Can’t give credit when it’s due?
Making excuses for the little girl and her sandbox friends.
How sad
Is there a location where fans can listen to last nights goals via CJAD? I have checked their web site but was unable to find it. I was able to hear a couple calls on tsn but would like to hear more if possible.
Thanks
Happy birthdays to Halak and Subban!
My daughter and I watch all the games together, yesterday she turned Sweet 16, and what a celebration it was!! She will now always remember that special day thanks to the a team with huge hearts that does not give up!! Our drive to 25 is very much alive!!!
“Size Matters Not” Yoda
Farber is something you flush after you go to the washroom.
I hope the team gives them both a birthday bash they will never forget.
Actually the Sabres advanced to the East finals in 2005.
Been a Habs fan since I was in 2nd grade and sat behind Patrick Roy at the Aud.
What is all the chat about who should win the Conn Smythe…. Roy did it best in 86 the way he looked at the Conn Smythe like some kind of rash. The Stanley Cup is the only thing to win. Go Habs Go
Some excellent news articles above. Thanks for digging those up for us this morning. Two comments from me basically this morning, because what is there to say that hasn’t been said already?
First, I was pondering this “no captain” team and came to the conclusion that not naming a captain could have been perhaps the best move made all year. No one guy. No one man to take all the weight on his shoulders. No one man to answer to all the inevitable questions after each loss, or to hog the credit after each win. I find this very interesting. It was the not naming of a captain which enabled this mix of holdovers and newcomers to become a unified team. A chance to develop an identity. Of course it would be silly to do the same next year. But now I think the naming of this team’s captain next season will come from the players rather than the coach. They will have all summer to soak up what they accomplished together during this run, which still continues. They’ll designate a leader next fall.
Second, I find it sad that the celebration in the streets of Montreal again turned a little ugly. Such a great city. But I reminded myself that even the purest of purebred dogs can pick up the odd flea here and there. Montreal is still a purebred city. With the odd flea hitching a ride every so often.
I can’t seem to shake this image in my head of Crosby curled up in Mario Lemieux’s lap being coddled and soothed.
Crosby: “Why did this happen, Daddy? Why didn’t things go MY way? Don’t they know who I am?”
Mario: “I don’t know, Cynthia. I don’t know. I feel Gary has betrayed us.”
Crosby: “It’s not FAIR! The referees didn’t do enough. I’M SIDNEY CROSBY!!!”
I have had some fun this morning with some of the Hab haters that I know. I’m hungry for more, and our boys look like they are too. Keep yourselves level, boys! And let’s see what this brings!!!
GOOOOOO HABS, GOOOOOOOO!!!!

Totally agree on the Capotain issue, I’ve always thought a leader doesn’t need a C on their sweater to lead. Funny how some media and former players have said that they absolutely need a captain. I’m sure that if they do win the Cup this year, they will find someone to hoist it first.
So happy, I can barely type.
*raises hand*
Guilty here.
Ultimate Die-Hard Since 1986. T.
Scene at a local Timmy’s this morning (we’re in the GTA)…
ME (wearing jeans and Hab t-shirt)
RANDOM EMBITTERED LEAF FAN (wearing a sour scowl)
BITTER LEAF FAN *staring at my t-shirt* — “Nice to see everyone hopping on the bandwagon.”
ME — “Well, I guess bandwagons are the one thing you’re qualified to comment about.”
why is it that these riots start 2+ hours after a game?
THe sad truth is these shop owners need to board up their shops before games like florida does before a hurricane, not for the fans, but for the A-holes who come out of the woodwork with bandanas to cover their faces because they know they’re going to start crap.
That and force a curfew an hour after the game. there’s no reason to be out on the street after that other than bulls—-
He is a part time hockey guy…bandwagon reporter with no hockey knowledge…his article was the worst…Orpik had it right…
“The ‘System’ will not stop until it owns Lord Stanley’s Cup…All hail the System!”
While I don’t think it is always necessary to have a captain, I do think it is important. But it is only important if you have the right man wearing that “C”. These captainless players this year will now have found some deep respect for each other and their leader will emerge. And like you say, they will find someone to hoist the cup first if they should win it. That, to me, would be very interesting to see. That could be the telltale sign of who could wear the “C” next fall….unless, they hand the cup to Halak to be the first to accept it. That would be fitting. But it would leave us guessing as far as who should wear the letter.
One word about last night’s game
FANHABULOUS!
I wear my habs gear year-round so I take those bandwagon comments seriously.
You want to talk bandwagoners how about all the Crosby jerseys and shirts miles from Pitts? I bet they weren’t fans BEFORE crosby…

mmmmhmmm
What a win! What a team! This team is SO much like the one in 93′. Here is the breakdown of how they are similar:

There are two quotes I want to point at this glorious morning:
Kris Letang: ”When you go into Game 7, you expect things, and it didn’t happen the way we wanted”.
What a dumbass.
Brooks Orpik: “I mean, they’ve beaten Washington and now they’ve beaten us. I think it’s time to give this team some credit for what they’ve done rather than picking apart why we didn’t do what we were supposed to do”.
Thank you. Finally, someone dares to say it.
That is all for now.
Sorry, I didn’t hear the question, I was smiling so hard my ears were stretched closed.
The one thing I am most satisfied about (and yeah, I called this way back last July when I was among the very few stoked by Gainey’s housecleaning) is that this team is everything a true Hab fan could ever want: they have the ability to become a perennial 2-3 round playoff team.
That’s really all we could ask for is to be on these playoff runs, winning the Cup or not, for seasons to come and be mentioned in the same breath as the Red Wings, Sharks, Devils, Flyers, teams that except for the odd blip are always in the post-season.
On one hand, though it would be a beautiful, the last thing we need is to actually win the Cup this season and be considered a one-hit wonder like the Lightning, Ducks and Hurricanes. No, man, if they win it, we need this (Habs being deep playoff threats) to continue every spring.
If they do win and next season, don’t come close, I fear the name calling and bashing here will be furious.

Does anyone have a link to the CBC intro they showed before the game last night?
It was great, very groovy tune.
thanks.
It would be cool to see them hand it at once to all of the players wearing the “A”.

I have to say it’s time for the tin-foil hats to come off…I was shocked with that first penalty call…no doubt that set the tone for the game…While I do think Crosby gets a bias sometimes from some of the refs last night he got nothing…
Fleury’s stock will plummet greatly…he looked like a Peewee goalie out there against Halak…Halak was unreal as usual…
I am still undecided on who I want us to play…I hate both teams because they are both classless…Habs fans wanting to go to either Philly or Boston beware…both teams have the most lowlife fans…here is a sample of the Bruins fan behavior:

I am loving the song. Which is “No Heaven – DJ Champion” by the way.
Lapierre is on fire with the chirping this post season! And chirping face LOL
Just got of some other sport sites and read the talk about the “riot” after the game. Then saw the pictures posted on the Gazette. Definitely don’t look like typical Habs fans (probably never been or seen a Habs game) and not to sound raciest (my parents were immigrants) the “looters” seem to be recent arrivals to Canada.
double the point! He’s bitter about the Habs and bitter cause he ain’t gettin’ with her! kazaaaam
Just love it everytime I see the part of Metropolit talking to Beliveau in the tunnel and Beliveau gives a fist pump on the way back to his seat…I wonder what Metropolit said to him?
“I am guilty of using elipses…”
Give em both a Brotherly BEATDOWN
Ya thats a great scene, I love when Metro stares as Beliveau walks away…
I dont even have a guess as to what he said…
but that probably fired him up all kinds.
I like that idea!
It is a coin toss….both teams will be a handful…and as for Boston’s injuries, they are season-enders but they still have a stocky-looking team that plays tenacious D and will hit the players more than Washington and Pittsburgh combined.
“I am guilty of using elipses…”
i doubt Sturm will return.. he tore his acl and mcl
Krejci had wrist surgery, so i don’t think anytime soon
Laperieer has a brain contusion so i doubht he will play
Boucher sprained his knee pretty badly so he is out.

The refs didn’t seem to be in awe of 87 last night and though they seemed to be less biased than the other 6 games, how many times does Orpik get to check Lapierre into the back of the net before he gets a whistle?
At least he seemed to have distracted MAF for our next goal but that seemed a bit ridiculous.

I believe Carter is ruled out for the post-season, Boucher’s out with an MCL sprain I understand, Laperriere, well it’s another argument to indict the Flyers medical staff for recklesis endangerment (The Lindros Affair being the prime case) if they try to put him back on the ice. Sturm… It still makes me cringe a bit reading about that one. Krejci getting knocked out seems to have just devastated the Bruins for whatever reason, they just seem to have stopped competing.

How ’bout this one, Chuck: When it’s over, who does Bettman hand Lord Stanley’s Cup to?
And thus we witness the genesis of the Stanley Cup Raising Controversy™.
I answered Tommy with this one earlier: Let the “A”s raise it together. I think that it would be an appropriate homage to the teamwork that got them there.

I love JM’s defensive system
The proof is in the pudding when it comes to Sid vs. Ovie: Sid’s got the ultimate hardware.
Both are still a little immature so there’s some leeway given. As for personality, The Ovenchicken can rub the wrong way as a selfish self-promoter while Sid’s all about team.
As for drive, Sid captained his team to a Stanley Cup last spring and decided to spend the summer getting better as a player, changing his stick and working on shooting and winning faceoffs… I bet if Ovie won a Cup, he’d be celebrating in every nightclub from Washington to Moscow and probably become an bigger boor than Ben Rothlishitelsihschlipswhateverburger.
Whining aside, I still really like Sid and am glad my little boy looks up to him and not The Ovenchicken.
What’s with all the thoughtful comments, Chuck?
It’s unnerving.
I posted this last night but nobody really noticed it….how many of you watched the NHL Network after the game to Sids full answers to those questions and the questions before and after…..I too was kind of disappointed with his answers but when I flicked over to the NHL Network I saw the questions before and after and the not so edited version and he gave the Habs plenty of credit
Where’s that superputz ‘Timo’ been? Probably back in Leaf Nation with all the other whiners… It’s so nice without his bullspit here.
Was rewatching the highlights from last night. Pittsburgh really turned it on in the 3rd, outshooting MTL 18-3. Halak was just sick on some of those PP stops. It may have been his greatest period of the whole playoffs. I think the guy is actually getting better, which is not even possible. Great effort by the forwards capitalising on every scoring chance. Philly or Boston (I prefer Boston for sure)is going to be in for a surprise, because this is not the team they knew from the regular season. They are the Montreal Dragon Slayers.
I’m in a “share the love” kind of mood today, I guess. I’m either a Communist or a hippie.

Careful.
I hear Boone’s recruiting.
Where did you find this quote?
Been a Habs fan since I was in 2nd grade and sat behind Patrick Roy at the Aud.
They should make a commercial with Moen’s goal: “What if Gonchar gave a damn?”
He behaved like a petutant child for 7 straight games because things didn’t go his way. Was Sid all about team when he wasted the entire series whining and griping rather than trying to rally his guys to play as a team like the Canadiens did? He wasn’t a team guy, he behaved like a spoiled brat who was shocked we weren’t letting him win something he thought he was entitled to.
Crosby may be Mr. Nice Guy off the ice, but Ovechkin was twice the man he was on the ice in our two playoff series thus far. If you had to base your opinion on the two guys over the last 14 games played, Ovechkin would easily be considered the professional.
Toews makes Crosby look like a 12-year old as well. Now there’s a respectable hockey player for Canadians to cheer on.

Perhaps the Habs are finding a way to shut even him up.
No matter whether it’s round 1 or the conference finals, somehow it always comes down to Habs vs. Bruins whereas Bruins and Philly managed to avoid each other in the playoffs for 30 years.

Merci!
Been a Habs fan since I was in 2nd grade and sat behind Patrick Roy at the Aud.
I’m glad you brought this up. Earlier in the series, one of our defensemen (I’m not sure if it was O’Byrne or Gill) was called for an interfernce penalty for a play not unlike the Moen goal, only our guy played the man.
Is this a penalty in the new Buttman era, or was it it just a bad call by the ref? I know, when I played the game, it was D-man 101 to take the man out when an opposing forward used a carem off the boards to go around a defensemen. Is this an interference call and is that why Gonchar let Moen pass, or was he just pretending he was L’Eartless.
Can anyone help a brother out?
Don’t Start Me Talkin’
As well as to Halak who turns 25…….
Thanks, but maybe if they had a person who actually played the game once in his life, instead of some ex-NBA lawyer/garden gnome running the league, it would be a perfectly legal play. How exactly is a defensemen supposed to defend against this move? The rules in this league, since Pee Wee took over, are friggin’ ridiculous, if you ask me.
Make sense, although we were penalized for doing exactly that. Interference was the call.
Then again, although I didn’t see the puck bounce off the ref for the penguins first goal because he was not in the camera range, but I’m willing to bet that the ref kicked it to Letang, with the comment “Hurry up and put it in, Mr.Bettman will fire me if Sid doesn’t move on to the next round,”
Ok ive held it in long enough! I have been away from this site since the start of this series, and i ve been holding myself back from coming on here and gloating but i cant take it anymore!!!!!
HARD HABITS, and the rest of you tanking whiners, owe me, Bob Gainey and this whole site an apology for having to read their incessant rants on how much this team sucks. I would love to be able to follow what you have been saying the last few games.
Me and HH had the same argument all year, i kept saying just make the playoffs and anything can happen, and he kept saying the same thing, ‘sure lets make the playoffs and be swept first round again’. Deep down i really think he wanted that to happen. And he is not alone. There is the precious TIMO. I also heard RETRO MIKEY say he wished this team wouldnt even make the playoffs. There are ton s more , TIS HIMSELF , no clue about hockey.
I love when people have to eat their words. It is satisfying to hear broadcasters and such admit they were wrong, however i dont expect the same from any of the people i mentioned here today. They will still say that we suck .

anybody else find it curious that Blackberry sponsors the NHL after all wasn’t RIM Jim black balled by the BOG.
December 4, 2009 – Elmer Lach’s jersey took its rightful place with the Rocket’s in the rafters.

“The good thing about drinking during games is if they lose, you’re too drunk to care during and too hungover to care after.” – J.T.
It’s funny how these guys disappear as soon as their dooms day predictions don’t come to fruition.
OK, enought basking. I’m already worying about the future.
I am dreading the Eastern Finals vs Bos or Phi far more than the thought of the Sharks or Hawks. Habs always play well against superior competition.
I worry the commitment to system will not be as strong if the boys believe they can outskill the likes of Gagne, Richards, Briere, Timonnen, Bergeron, Savard, Satan, and Wideman.
How many times did we see the Habs stone teams like the Caps and Pens during the regular season and then lose to the likes of the Leafs, Islanders, and Blue Jackets.
Having said that, I think I’d rather face the Bruins than the Flyers. The hate factor should lead to the better team winning, and the Habs match up better physically with the Bruins. Chara looks tired and Looch is a shadow of his former self. Even if that means we face Rask instead of Leighton.
But if we get Markov back and can relegate MAB o 4th liner/ PP duty, I don’t care who we face! In fact, I’m good with seven defenseman (MArkov and O’Byrne) with MAB sittin
He’s been around on some posts and being a happy Habs fan just like the rest of us.
to ” MontrealAtheist“
Hossa, Demitra, Chara, Satan, Jaro – they are now on the pretty same level of popularity here, but one just have to love Halak for what he has done out there – If Habs win the cup, his success will start to be copared to PETER STASTNY - slovak legend living in Canada…
Somebody has probably posted this already, but just in case….Gionta’s second goal from last night.

I know they’re going a little overboard with these, but it’s the line at the end of this one that gives me the lump in my throat…
“What if the Habs didn’t believe?”
Is it wrong for a grown man to have tears welling in his eyes watching something like this????
When they’re produced after a playoff series is completed, that makes sense, especially with such historic victories as the Canadiens are piling up. Post-game highlights from a game 3 becoming a HWBM… That’s just plain stupid.

I love these, they just keep getting better as the habs keep winning.
and tho’ We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
–Alfred Lord
Just watched the game highlights again on Canadiens Express. I’m still dumbfounded at how badly the Penguins started the game. It wasn’t just Fleury’s bad performance or the two early penalties; there was simply no cohesion among the players. Bad starts like that happen to every team during the regular season, but it’s hard to believe that any team, let alone the defending champions, could start a game 7 that badly.
Watching the highlights again allowed me to appreciate, which I was too nervous last night to do, how superb Halak was in the third period. Some of those saves were near-miracles. It was perhaps his best period of hockey all playoffs, certainly his best since his 53-save effort in game 6 against Washington. Without his heroics, the Penguins would almost certainly have tied the game.
Instead of people looking at this as some kind of fairytale or magic, the Habs are beginning to gather some respect around the league. Despite Crosby’s rather ungracious comment about being out-shot and out-chanced as a strategy, no one is talking any more about rope-a-dope hockey. Instead they’re talking about players buying into a system and the team as a whole playing superb defensive hockey. I think we’re improving from game to game. In this series, the turning point was the middle of the second period in game 6. The Penguins were up 2-1 but had squandered several opportunities to deliver a near-fatal blow. We know what happened then – that momentum-changing shift from our third line, followed by two quick goals and bedlam at the Bell Centre. From that point we were in control.
Agreed.
It’s getting to a point that everything is going to become a HWBM – even what color of tie the winning coach wore.

Was probably just a show put on by both parties to try and increase the Coyote’s value and in turn receive free advertising.
I’d take Toews and Ovechkin 10 out of 10 times over Crysby.
It’s my understanding that if Gonchar has body position and theyre both travelling in the same direction, he is allowed to hit him as long as he doesn’t commit another illegal act (holding, elbowing, etc). Gonchar was definately allowed to hit him, he just had a brain freeze or something.

This team is an inspiration. No matter what the adversity, they will overcome! I’m so proud of this team. I was slowly drifting away from Hockey, especially after Roy left, but this year, I watched hockey with interest throughout the season. Gainey changed the face of this team, new coach (though I’m not a huge JM fan, I got nothing but praise for him at this point) and new faces (who cares about Gomez’s salary if he gets the job done). We made it through to the Playoffs, barely hanging on, and then we beat the Capitals and the Penguins. What else can one want?
Bruins or Flyers, it’s time to get our revenge for the last two years. Habs have to be on top of their game just like they were in the first two series and not take these guys nonchalantly. Thoughts that these teams don’t have the firepower of Caps or Pens will not help us. They are here to play, just like we are. We have proven Caps arrogance wrong, Boudreau and his players were nothing but arrogant throughout the series. We proved Pens arrogance wrong as well. Was it Orpik who said the best team will win and we will make it through? Now it’s time to stay humble, play the underdog and get to the final. A final showdown with Chicago would be a lot of fun. Drive for the 25th is just warming up.
Go Habs Go!
aw jeeze I didn’t think I clicked twice
sigh .. sorry
ps I love you habs
L’Antichambre last night showed a video clip that Geoff Molson offered a big hug to Subban in the crowded dressing room, but Subban, didn’t realize it’s Geoff Molson, seemed only hugging a journalist, and escaped very quickly. Very funny!
yesterday Pleks played 21:19
with 6:33 shorthanded including a lengthy 4-3 PK.
little girl?!?!
ithink not. This guy was huge as to why we won. He shutdown Crosby, svaed a few goals, setup Cammy for a beautifull one timer.
people who say he has been invisble have been watching the wrong games.
AK46 has finally started coming out of his shell.. game 6 and 7 he stareted playing. Yestrday he was a little rusty in the third because of all the PK duties for the habs but he played pretty well

“I like what I’m seeing right now,” assessed Markov. “We’re not perfect, but we’re trying to be.”
um Farber’s article gives excuses for the play of the Pens and they have NO excuse to go belly up. Habs had players also in the Olympics. Give credit where it’s due.
Anyway…. anyone know if there is a video up of the Habs talking about playing in the playoffs, for the habs and the habs fans? It was super awesome! I saw it last night at the Bell before the game! I really liked it and would like to show it to some friends!!
Sidenote— I was at the game last night.. and of all the hockey games I’ve ever seen live… this was the best ever. It gave me chills to be there with 20,000 other fans and it made the win so so much more fun than sitting at home
Thanks to the Bell Centre for making it happen and the Habs fans in attendance! It was a memorable experience I will not soon forget. I love being a fan for this team!
I’ve been hoping for the Habs to come together and play at their peak and watching them play and give their 100% I believe in them so much.
My hope is belief. Go Habs!
I hope all away games are shown at the Bell! I want to see 20,000 people bow to Halak again on the screen! Rad!
Do we want a Bruins win or a Flyers win?
Rice Miller? Can we call you Sonny Boy II?
Interesting stst from CBC last night.
So far, the Habs have blocked an incredible 360 shots… Chicago is a distant second with 160. That’s 200 shots more that Jaro hasn’t had to stop.
If the Habs had only blocked 160 to this point, the same as Chicago, and assuming Jaro’s SV% of .933, that means that the Hab shot-blockers have saved just shy of 19 goals… or 1.36 goals per game.

Bruins.
Thanks for the info! A Hossa vs. Halak match-up is certainly one that I would love to see as well for the Cup finals.
306 shots blocked, not 360… but I get your point.
Oops… must have read the graphic wrong. But still… fantastic work! That’s still an extra goal per game, or the difference between 3.86 goals/game vs. our current 2.86 goals scored against us per game.
If that was the case, of the playoff teams only Ottawa and Los Angeles would have given up more goals/game (4.00 and 4.17)… and we wouldn’t be playing hockey right now.
And at the same time, what if Cammy hadn’t been so hot? If he had only scored half of his 12 goals, our goal scoring per game would be a paltry 2.35… third-worst of the 16 playoff teams. If he had scored none? Our goals scored per game drops to just 1.92.

“I’ll take potent potables for 500, Alex” JB
i think it’ll be fine. I wouldn’t be so quick to call either of the teams inferior, or compare them to the islanders. One will make it as well, so we have to stick to the system, which no doubt will change slightly, given the lack of a true superstar. I don’t think this habs team will let up, but it might be a good, long series so we better get ready. Habs in 5, then in 6 against CHI for the cup on home ice!!!!!1
f*ck yeah!!!
“I’ll take potent potables for 500, Alex” JB
The list of people who truly expected this is zero. There is nobody…not even the most ardent |Habs fans like you or I, who can claim they “expected” this. Anyone who did is delusional. However, i agree, that hockey playoffs are what they are….once you’re in, it’s anyone’s game. The presidents trophy winner rarely wins the Cup, and there’s often a low seed in the Finals. So i agree the people who wanted us to tank, were barking up the wrong tree. HOWEVER, i think coming out with this “ha ha, i told you so thing” isn’t much better than some of the outrageous posts that the majority of people here would rather not have to deal with.
Me too:-) but Hossa can play like zillion times better than what he is currently playing… As I said it before – I saw some games and I really think they should put more skilled players around him or move him to another formation, it is the same case as Demitra – wrong pairing – no great chemistry between players in his formation. I don’t want to pardon them but on the Olympics they played like different people…
I got one question for you: How is Peter Stastny viewed in Montreal and Canada?
Sorry – just noticed it was posted about 3 posts before mine. Dumbass (me, that is
…..
I already offered up my mea culpa on these pages but I am sure you conveniently glossed over it.
Many people said that regardless of how far the Habs went they’d be proud. For me nothing less then a Stanley Cup win will suffice. However I did agree to myself that regardless of what happens from here on in that I have jumped off of the tank-wagon. Even if they lost against the Pens I wouldn’t have “told-you-so” as you are doing now.
All those people you mention myself included are fans as much as you so deal with it. None of us is going anywhere.
D
It’s interference, but like anything else in the NHL, it’s subject to interpretation.
I assume most have seen the TSN clip inside the Habs dressing room after the win last night, called Canadiens Post Game Reaction, ( if you havent , check it out ) but, this has to be the tightest Habs dressing room we have had in years. They seem to enjoy hanging out together … its pretty infectuous just watching it.
Very very impressive.
I think it will be exciting to watch a Habs/Bruins Conf final. Yes, revenge, yes! Better chance? No. If they are going to make it through, it would be because they deserved it as much as Habs. IMHO, habs are going to have equal chances against Flyers or Bruins. Both teams play very similar type of hockey. Bodies will be flying all over.
Read keepthefaith’s comments again. He said make the playoffs and anything can happen.
HH’s Mea Culpa
Hell
hath frozen over. I have some news for all you HIOers. I made a promise
to one of my colleagues at work that if the Habs made it to the
Conference Finals that I would never mention tanking as a viable option
to rebuild the Habs ever again. There you have it. I’ve jumped off of
the tank-wagon for good. I was wrong out about that one. BG was right.
Also , should add, another display of very interesting refereeing … not that we didnt deserve our penalties ( except Kost., that was a clean hit ) but, Orpik wasnt interfering with Lapierre behind the net ? Gonchar didnt hit AK in the back ? Cooke didnt jab at Halak’s glove after he stopped it …
Anyways, the Champs are gone … so, the refereeing should start being more balanced.
Hes played very well … great in the faceoff circle as well. In general, i would say almost everyone had a great game … and all had pretty good series … even AK.
Can you provide a link, please?
I know what you mean about the next series becoming physical. It scares me because we have some fragile players (Gill, maybe Spacek but he seems better now) and I don’t want to see them get more hurt.
Welcome to the 3rd round …
http://watch.tsn.ca/nhl/clip301533#clip301533
Great effort by the entire team. No passengers. Keep rolling!
I’m ready to move on now and at this point I’m not sure who I want to meet. Either opponent is going to be tough because either the Flyers will be coming off a brilliant comeback or the Bruins will be coming off a series victory at home. Both will be tough in a seven game series and the season head-to-head records won’t matter a bit. If pressed I’ll say the Bruins just because they’re our hated rivals.
After game six I backed off my AK negativity when he put in a good performance. After last night I’m happy that JM stuck with this guy. He shows further signs of involvement and when he gets involved he’s a very quick, smart player. Keep it up AK.
Also there were a bunch of questions last night about not playing OB and calls to bench Hamrlik after a few gaffs. In the end the decisions by the coach were the right calls as indicated by the final score. I, for one, am learning to hold off on kneejerk reactions as to who plays and who doesn’t.
Finally, nice to see that some of the most radically negative commenters have actually expressed pleasure with the team now. Makes for more interesting reading when the baiting, name calling and one upmanship is reduced to a minimum.
FEEL THE PRIDE!
“A lot’s going to be put on us like it has been all series. I mean, they’ve beaten Washington and now they’ve beaten us.

Attaboy Brooksy. Tell it like it is.
Your team can’t melt down if there’s no heat. And it was effin’ hot in the Mellon. Word.
Don’t know about you, but I was positively floored by what a mess the Pens made in their bed from the get-go. Crosby stoopid right out of the gates. Fleury back to the useless form that had me shakin’ my head all those years ago when he was the first overall pick. Malkin invisible. Gonchar beggin’ to be Heimliched.
More importantly, a Habs team that was so utterly poised and prepared, if you still don’t get JM, you never will. The Habs played like they knew all along they would win. No visible hint of pressure other than a few untimely and ill-thought penalties by the D.
And Halak. One step closer to the ultimate individual trophy in professional sport: The Conn Smythe. Assuming, of course, Squid doesn’t walk away with it.
For whatever reason, and it isn’t overconfidence, I’m not worried about either the Broonz or the Flippers. In fact, I’d venture that either one of them will go down hard and fast. I don’t know why; call it a gut feel.
Chicago or San Jose? That’s a whole new enchilada.
Whatever the case, I’m off to buy a big Habs flag. Promised the kids a week ago that there’d be one when we were done puttin’ away Sid & Co.
Meltdown complete.
“Squid”.

Did you see Cammalleri’s quote?
“I almost feel bad for any guy who plays his whole NHL career without
ever experiencing what it’s like to be a Montreal Canadien. I
understand that it can be ugly too, but it’s pretty fun right now.”
What a guy.
It’s tough to choose between Cammy and Halak for the Conn Smythe.
You would want Halak over Cammy?

The pool always looks nice when it’s full of water, PK.
As for the Broonz and Flippers? Both prime Meltdown 2010™ candidates. Way, way too much infighting and dissent in their respectively torn apart dressing rooms.

NEEED GAME 4 TICKETSS!!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELPP
Hee hee hee.
We have the makings of a Conn Smythe Controversy™.
Is there anything better than being a Habs fan? I love it.
I was happy someone on the Pens showed some class and gave props to the Habs. Good for Orpik. I know Sid is uber competitve and that’s what makes him so successful, but the way he answers questions and never acknowledges the other team is really annoying. Coupled with his antics on the ice, I can see why non Canadian eastern conference fans despise him so.
I live in Washington and always tell my friends that Crosby is a better cornerstone than Ovie for his ability to make those around him play better, and also for potential longevity. But now I’m not so sure. There’s definitely some latent doucheness that I hadn’t recognized.
Hey Slovak, Stastny was very popular in Quebec City during the 80′s as a member of the Nordiques. The Nordiques were your equivalent of the Czechs or Russians to the Habs fans. They were our most bitter rival. He’s respected for his talent but I doubt he’d draw much of a crowd outside of Quebec City.
Let ‘em share it. I’d have no problem with co-winners.

Interesting. I had an extended chat with a long-time friend this morning about that very topic.
We’ve always entertained the Sid vs Ovie debate between ourselves, him siding with Sid, me Ovie. I recognize Ovie’s shortcomings as a leader but am enthralled with his combination of talent and enthusiasm.
If it were possible, I have no doubt Ovie would kill to wear the Habs jersey.
Sid is the more complete package, however.
Like Patrick Roy, Sid is also hyper competitive. He’s also a winner. I’m always the first to defend him against accusations of whining and the rest. Let’s face it, Gretzky set the bar when it came to whining.
Having said all that, and as it went during this morning’s conversation, Sid slid down a few notches in both our books last night, beginning with his churlish behaviour in the handshake lineup.
You’ve got yer Cup, kid. Show some maturity. Jesus.
I guess that’s what happens when you’re featured in a TimBits ad before there’s grass on your field.
He did a lot for Slovak Hockey and I like him as a person, the same goes for Bondra. Thank you for the answer, enjoy the moment of victory and then let’s go for the cup Montreal…
Some of those nutbar fans better watch out… Karma is one cruel biatch. The last thing we need is to screw the Halak mojo…

First of all, how does one get on the wrong plane? Second, how does one get on the wrong plane??
So who does bettmen hand the cup off too?? I say marky if he is playing if not then pleks what do u guys think?

i agree, who in their right mind would want to let those two dawn the Maple Leaf? They do not deserve to represent Canada.. jeez, i’d rather see Darcy Tucker on the team than Downie.. Douche!~
I’ll take the credit for that record thank you… shaved the ole playoff beard (I guess you could call it that) into a dirty mustache after the game 4 loss against washington.
“How would you like a job where when you made a mistake, a big red light goes on and 18,000 people boo?” Jacques Plante
The most impressive statistic about this team recently.
They’ve gone 7-3 against the Caps and Pens since game 5 of the first round.
That’s beautiful, and actually mind boggling….
What I found crazy last night, was when CBC showed the team’s with the most blocked shots in the playoffs. Last night’s game included, I think the Habs now have 320 blocked shots. The 2nd place team was Chicago with 160.
That’s simply rediculous…..
“These head movies make my eyes rain” -Simple Jack
yup..first round they were 45.00 round 2 54.00..now 72.00 So yeah i dunno if i want to shell out 144.00 + service charges…HD TV is great
Oh well, I guess I’ll keep watching it on TV then! Seriously, 72$ for cheap seats… And tickets will still be sold out in an hour or so
Just get a few extra tickets and sell them … that should cover the price for your own tickets.
cheap seats are 72.00…
What?? Geez, I knew prices were gonna raise, but just not that much…
I repeat my previous question(s):
1) Are you saying that picking the players is the only factor that determines the success in playoff series?
2) If so, then why didn’t we win much during the 6 previous seasons where Gainey was also picking the players?
Other than Gauthier picking up Dom Moore for a 2nd rounder, this is all Gainey’s team -and- Bob is still here as an advisor and a presence or weren’t you seeing him up in the rafters with Pierre.
Bob didn’t really resign, he retired and moved upstairs and definitely still has a huge say in this team, his team.
Your Gainey hating is just pointless in this post and your redundant other posts here this morning BUT God forgives you.
Well, you don’t inherit home ice advantage from your victims unfortunately after finishing them off
However, if Philly wins the #7 seed in the conference would get home ice advantage for the conference finals … certainly not something you see every day.
The Habs beat The Caps & Now The Pens but still do not get home ice advantage for the next series against either Boston or Philadelphia since they were seeded #8 in The Eastern Conference at the start of the playoffs…….
Goin’ to Winnipeg…

It’s a shame about the rioting. Some idiots just have to make the rest of us fans look bad…
Don’t let them spoil what this team has accomplished though – an amazing run so far, and I agree with Boone – Jaro has joined the ranks of Dryden and Roy. But Cammy has also joined Lafleur and other Habs playoff greats, and that was a little more unexpected for me!

A quick comment on the rioting. Punks who break a window, loot a store or throw a rock at a cop should expect to be tasered with the gun set on high. Touch a cop or his horse and it’s an automatic one year sentence in jail. Establish the guidelines before the thugs hit the street.
Agree 24 Cups with what you said.My suggestion,the ones that got arrested last night keep them in jail till the playoffs are over I would gladly pay for their keep.They are nothing but a bunch of hooligans,give them a huge fine and 1000 hours of community work.Plaster their faces all over the papers and T.V so their families can see their true colors.

SK24 - You sound like your neo conservative friend Vic Toews and we will take care of the minor rioting in MTL. exagerrated by the media and you should worry about the ring worm in your backyard,lol. …………………. The minor rioting is exageratted by the media and those not arrested should be pursued with passion (photos and videos) by our finest with the help of those two bias Ontario refs last night.
Taught in England 9 years ago, but was still able to watch Ray Bourke raise the cup. Would get up about 1:00 a.m., watch the games of the finals, go back to bed for a couple of hours and then get up for work.
Wouldn’t it be great if the Habs could announce who the future captain will be with the hoisting of the Stanley Cup?
Cammalleri is truly making a little Habs history, and Halak will be remembered, for sure! PK, as a rookie, is our Dryden, and who’s behind the bench? Jacques
Call this team smurfs,they are to small what ever else you want to call them.This Habs team are GIANTS in my eyes their all HEART.Cammy said it best last night we don’t need HERO’S we PLAY as a TEAM!8th place team playing last years Stanly cup winner take them out in the 7th game that is called HEART.How sweet is that.Round 3 coming up.
GO HABS GO
Habs Fan 4 Ever & Ever Amen.
Oh what a ride! Thank you BOB Gainey. December 4, 2009 – Elmer Lach’s jersey took its rightful place with the Rocket’s in the rafters.
Yeah, thank you for resigning and making this playoff run possible and unleashing the true potential of this squad, Bob Gainey !!! Gainey knew that the team needed a new direction/leadership and did the only honorable thing by giving up his job as GM.
Sure, Gainey picked most of the players in this roster much like in the past 7 years, including the one on last year’s roster that failed miserably. While Gainey certainly deserves some credit for selecting the players, the players he picked over the years never accomplished anything while he was in charge, so maybe it’s not just about picking players but also in having a new management that gave the team new impulses.
If picking the right players was all there is to winning the Stanley Cup surely we would have added 6 more Stanley Cups to our trophy room under Gainey … lol
… I like to wish Jaroslav Halak and P.K.Subban a very Happy Birthday,have a good one.
I agree also, their community services hours should be served by working for the businesses they caused damage too till their hours are up and the damage is paid for.It pisses me off that a couple of idiots have to do something so stupid to make the rest of us look bad.
I have absolutely no time or sympathy for these little pukes. Haul their asses off to jail for a while, make them scrape pigeon shit off sidewalks, humiliate the shit out of them and make them wish to God they never do anything like that again.
Set Tasers on stun Scotty!!!!

Nice write-up on Cammalleri in today’s Toronto Star (despite the extremely annoying headline):
http://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/nhl/article/809286–habs-star-mike-cammalleri-plays-hockey-the-toronto-way
Before the playoff, Habs were not claimed as an American team; Habs were not claimed as “Toronto Way”. lol
The toronto way? No no, he actually wins
Huge hats off to Orpik. You said what your chicken shit crybaby captain should have said:
“They beat Washington, now they beat us,” defenceman Brooks Orpik
said. “I think it’s time to give this team some credit for what they’ve
done, rather than picking apart why we didn’t do what we were supposed
to do.”
You sir are a true sportsman.
“Without the strength of the past, the team may face a choice – to win, or to be French-Canadian?” — Ken Dryden
Funny about your Dryden Quote, I think they have chosen.
Philly and Pitt were at least as French as the habs. Philly has 5 and some big stars.
Good post. I agree. Orpik expressed something that could have been voiced by their captain. But let’s cut Crosby some slack. I heard he has been playing hurt all series. He was diagnosed with diaper rash in game one. That’s very difficult to play with. LOL
Thank You for allowing me to watch hockey well into May
We’ll continue to watch Canadiens hockey well into June !!!
Damned Canadiens!!! You definitely stole my heart during this play-offs
I hope Habs win SC and I could see Halak in Bratislava with Cup.
8 are done, 8 are ahead.
When we win the Cup Halak will certainly be among the first to take it home to his home town/country … Without him, we would not even be in the playoffs !!!
HOPE BOSTON WILL WIN IT AND THEN – HERE IT COMES BABY – HALAK VS CHARA + SATAN – THAT WOULD BE A LOT OF FUN

And without the whole TEAM(!), we would not be in the Eastern Conference Finals!

For those expecting a cakewalk against the B’s or Flyers…watch the karma…do not disrespect those teams the same way the Habs have been disrespected…the Habs just played two series against offensive juggernauts…they will be in tough against these lunchpail, physical teams.
“I am guilty of using elipses…”
indeed. different game plan for sure
Agree 100%. Especially if Philly wins, don’t ever think it will be easy and now the Habs will win by devine right.
I’m getting pretty sick of all of these so called ‘analysts’ (from Fan590, CBC, TSN) who are going over all the things the Pens did wrong, instead of what the habs did right. “what went wrong with Crosby and Malkin?” as if they failed and so that’s why we won.
I’m not surprised, given the networks. But give the credit where its due. Mike Brophy is the biggest peice of shit in the business.
What’s wrong with Crosby and Malkin? They caught Gill Fever, not their fault
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu.
http://habsandhockey.blogspot.com/
Yeah me too. Watching Hockey Central with Brophy now. These guys have forgotten how to be hockey fans and are too wrapped in their self-importance as “analysts”, they never go out on a limb except for Craig MacTavish on TSN who picked the Habs to beat the Caps in Game 7.
For the most parts these guys gave it their best and were simply shut down.
I bet he never thought of saying:

Conference Finals Coming Up,.. Great Management
My blog…check it out
A band of brothers to be sure, it has taken all year to develop this chemistry and brotherhood. A true TEAM now, working for one another.
Some want to give all the credit to Halak, some Gill, and some Camillarie. But not so, everyone is playing their roll within themselves. No one is trying to do it all alone, everyone is giving their all and backing up each other.
That’s how we are getting the job done!
Exactly! This team may not have “superstars” (some in the making though), and some may question that there are great players on the team, but there is no arguing that this team is great, because that’s what we’ve got here, a TEAM.
Okay, Halak has been incredible.
I have to get something off my chest, Enough already with the ” I was one of the few, remember when I said and nobody agreed, I was the only one saying this, to all the nay sayers where are you now, WHO really cares, were all habs fans who at some point this season had reason to doubt this teams compete level, At times they were awfull. So what, We should just enjoy the ride and not point fingers. So what if a guy was down on Halak, or Gill or lapeirre or JM or Gainey. We all love this team and lets just appreciate how this team has come together,
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Completely agreed, Topher. We’ve all heard enough “I told you so” comments.
It’s call Ego. There’s a wee bit of that on this site.
Except I’m still calling Pk doubters out.
I’m sorry but I always said he was a stud and I’m lovin it! TEE HEE
remember when i told people to stop saying “i told you so”…
i really like this place as there are a few (and i mean few) people who know their stuff, i do not care what a person’s opinion is as long as they have put some though into it. but i’d challenge anyone who says “i told you back in december…blah blah” to show me every post and i’ll show them their erros.
today is a day to enjoy the habs team. was a great game.
secret mod
Great win last night, proud to be a Habs fan!
Too bad those asshats that started rioting looting stores went and gave Montreal another black eye…takes some of the shine off what should be a fun celebration.
XXIV…and counting
For all Slovaks Boston is a better choice simply because there will be slovak friends agains each other, there will be a lot of action in Slovak media…guys know each other and therefore it will be fun to watch how they handle it… no disrespect to anyone
Who is more popular in Slovakia, Halak or Satan? It would be an interesting match for Slovaks for sure …
Bryan – To be honest, I didn’t think the refs were that bad last night. Quite a few of the Hab penalties were justified (Gorges for cross-checking as an example).
The three main factors were Fleury’s shaky start, the ability of the Habs to shutdown Crosby/Malkin and the punchless Pens’ PP.
Steve – Once again you look at it one way, it’s not all about the penalties they called on the Habs, it’s the penalties they missed on the Pens especially in front of Halak on our ‘D’. ………………. BTW Your boy Gomez skated well last night.
Your dead on my friend. This is why the owners that think you can buy a cup put all there eggs in one basket with stars and big contracts are left scratching their heads. A team sport is not won by a few, it is won by the whole group. That is only known by teams that have been in the business for at least 100 years my friend.
My blog…check it out
Years ago these things were possible because you could not only have Crosby and Malkin, but you’d have guys with finish on their wings like Cammalleri, Gionta and the like. Cap era makes it impossible, build around superstars and you don’t have much else to work with these days.
Pens made themselves the Crosby and Malkin show, Montreal built a team. Pens and Capitals have to ask themselves, should we have a cult of personality around some superstars or build a team?
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu.
http://habsandhockey.blogspot.com/
Thanks Andrew, for me I know I had moments of doubt and frustration with this team, it doenst make me a poor or non loyal fan , it , to me makes me passionate and a bit crazy at times but Im not perfect. Hell nobody is.
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Probably. After all, they’re God’s team, eh.
Does anyone have a linkk to the crosby interview after the game last night? For some strange reason they are not showing all of the footage on TV. I’d love to hear him suck and complain about the penalty!
CBC.ca has this article: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/stanleycup/Er2-1/story/2010/05/12/sp-mon-pit-7-recap.html
Did they really just try to make sid look like a gracious loser? Ouch.
But what a win. What a team. There are more and more Habs fans making themselves known out here in Manitoba.
Crosby was called for the first time! I was surprised, shocked when he was called, so was everybody watching the game with me. We were like “WoW! Crosby got a penalty”. He escaped so many penalties before in the series, it was only fair that he gets one and Habs punished him for getting one. His comment about this not being a penalty, wow! Game 7 or not, it was a penalty. My reply to him: you got saved by your star-status so many times, notably when he tripped Hamrlik and they scored, he broke his stick, etc. you have no rights to complain, really.
While he whines and cries a lot on the ice, it’s amazing how calm he is when talking to the media. He is talented, no doubt, but perhaps a bit of sportsmanship will do him good.
Its all good, I doubted his call up but not his skill. I didnt really have enough of a sample to decide on his skill level. I am glad he is here though.
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Yeah good call. BUT I know a lot of players who have great ‘rookie’ playoffs come down to Earth the next season so let’s hope PK doesn’t falter in October or the bashers will turn on him too.
I live about 25 miles from midtown manhattan and listen to bloomberg (financial) radio driving to work every morning. The morning host is a huge Habs fan and was mentioning the Habs every 15 min. Every hockey fan that I have seen since the middle of the Caps series have chanted to me Go HABS. The USA is very aware and routing for the Habs, America’s team. Maybe the Canadian Heritage minister should issue a public apology to the good people of Canada.
As for my predictions, listen up as I picked the Habs in 7 over the Caps and Pengiuns.
Habs over Philly or the Bs, in 6.
Huge fan in Nassau County NY. Many Habs fans in NY. My buddy went to the Islander game the nite of the snowstorm. Way more Habs fans than Islander fans. I’m floating on air today. I call this DESTINY

I know, your right, In a way Im just as bad I guess, It just bothers me. Your right, this is a great day and its been a long time coming. It could be raining by me right now but you couldnt convince me the sun wasn’t shining.

“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
For anyone who reads French, here’s a blog from Le Monde abut the game:
http://sports-us.blog.lemonde.fr/2010/05/13/le-chef-doeuvre-de-montreal/
The author writes that he thought of calling his piece “Miracle on Ice” but decided that the Canadiens’ performance had nothing miraculous about it but was quite simply a masterpiece. The comments show how much interest there is in France for the NHL and the Habs.
anyone read this trash yet, how about giving a little credit
Any word on when tickets go on sale for round 3?
They’ll be on sale saturday at 2pm on canadiens website
Alright my beloved Habs….
Time to let your hair down. Take PK and HALAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK out tonight (unless you did it last night) get drunk and celebrate the win and their birthdays.
Time to get back to work after that and prepare for the next team that stands between us and the Stanley Cup finals!
