• Comment on Habs' Therrien not among Jack Adams Award finalists
  just look at this game. pitt has had 5 pp’s midway thru the game. I told u ott wouldn’t be allowed to goon pitt. the nhl let them have open season on the habs. u can't ingore the stench coming from the nhl.
• Comment on About this season ... and next season ... and the one after that ...
  i stopped watching last nite after ottawa's 2nd goal. the habs outplayed ottawa this series by a wide margin - incl last nite's 1st period. it was a travesty that they lost. the refs were completely biased. that was the most odious part of the whole series. it's a stench the nhl should be embarrassed about - unless buttman wants it that way. i think we need to keep pleks but gionta is expendable with gallagher's emergence. i don't think we can keep 2 smurfs on the same line tho & no more than 2 on the roster. small guys need a couple of physical players on their line or they take liberties like ottawa did. montreal can count on biased reffing. they're in the top 3 profitable franchises. buttman wants the u.s. teams to prosper since 13 of the 23 u.s. teams lost money last yr.. it's a business. a smallish deman in the nhl has to be a scorer & a dynamic player. diaz & georges are neither. the 70's habs all had big dmen.
• Comment on Liveblog: Game 5 – Senators end Canadiens season
  the fix is in. the refs are in the bag for bettman. it's obvious. no officiating can be that incompetent every game. without very biased 'officiating', the sens have no chance against a good team like the habs or their eventual 2nd round opponent. the nhl doesn't want montreal going deep in the playoffs. it's all business. watch how mystified ottawa will be when they don't get every call in the 2nd round & calls go against them instead. i don't think we can overcome the refs & a 2-game deficit with the bunch that choked in the 3rd period like that. price has choked in every game but the 2nd. if he's out, so much the better. he certainly hasn't lifted his team like dryden or roy did. it's a travesty that the habs aren't up 3-1.
• Comment on Gionta's season is over; Prust, White out for Game 5; Price listed as day-to-day
  according to forbes, in 2012 the sens ranked 16th in value & dead last among canadian nhl teams to make the playoffs this year. only winnipeg finished lower. dead last in the nhl was st. louis. http://www.forbes.com/nhl-valuations/list/ all 7 cdn teams were profitable. the nhl is chasing american money. 13 of 23 american teams lost $. last time a cdn team won the cup was the habs in 93.

  i think the refs are fixing games on bettman's orders. ottawa needs the revenues & the habs don't. the cup has been moved around the u.s. geographically in an attempt to get the big u.s. tv contract. carolina, tampa, anaheim, l.a., boston, chicago, detroit, pittsburgh. canadian teams don't stand a chance any more. i imagine the nhl would like san jose to go to the final. boston would be the ideal matchup. 'the boston heroes do it in spite of the bombing'. great headlines. anyone with eyes could see that the habs games are reffed with bias. it's an endless list. in game 4, we had 30 secs of pp time. look how many more times the habs centres were turfed from faceoffs too - almost always in the off or def zone. that's a new one. the last thing the nhl wants is a canadian team in the final. once ottawa beats montreal, they're done. if they play like they are now, they'll be in the box half the game.
• Comment on Liveblog: Game 4 – Canadiens blow 2-0 lead, lose in OT
  agreed. it's pathetic. nothing new tho. it's been consistently shitty. it couldn't be any worse if it was fixed. ottawa knows it they can get away with it too. just like that cross-check to pk's face the other game. the refs were the only guys in the entire arena who didn't see it. did u see halpern get slashed 2nite when he had the open net? my understanding is that's a penalty. one of dozens of no calls.
• Comment on Gionta, White out with upper-body injuries (video)
  i've been a habs fan for decades. lafleur was my hero. i don't think people who lack confidence in price should be called haters. there is some justification for having a lack of confidence in him. he's played below average in 2 of the 3 games so far. i think his poor play has actually deflated his team in those 2 losses. his career playoff w/l is negative. dryden & roy came in & lifted their teams. i liked price because of his potential but at some point u have to produce. the habs are a much better team except in net. how many chances do u give a guy? do u let him cost u a series? i wish they'd start budaj. it will be a travesty if they lose to ottawa.
