  Series is not done yet. Tough to imagine that a very good Ottawa team doesn't have another win in them. But, it is also impossible to ignore that the Habs have been the better team for most of this series. We can win on Thursday; no reason to think otherwise.

  It's still a live series. Win game 4 and restore home ice advantage for the ensuing best of three. But I'm with Mr. Boone. It will take Montreal Canadiens hockey to do it. Game 2 is a prime example. Though we were perhaps more physical in execution than usual, that kind of aggressive forecheck has won us hockey games all year. Price will need to be better, and the DD line will have to show up. But this embarrassment doesn't need to be the last word. I hope Therrien pivots tomorrow to hockey and forgets the timeout. Disrespectful or not, you can't call "classless" after your team 'played' a third period like that.

  I'm thinking the same, especially with regard to MT's unwavering belief in his team. I commend your bold- and fearlessness.

  Just a massive game from the Habs, from Price on out. Everyone did their job and then a whole lot more. Excellent team win. I thought Prust and White and Armstrong set an inspiring tone; Bourque and Plekanec, and of course the Gallys, quickly followed suit. DD and Ryder even got going tonight. Great to see Tinordi playing so well. I thought all along he was our best hope to at least begin to cover that hole left by Emelin. And Price. Well, Price was the best goalie on the ice, and he'll be the best in the series. Onto Ottawa. P.S. Check out MT's post-game presser. He's awesome. Really impressive the way he believes in his players. Great leadership.

  Serious depth at forward! It was great to see both Armstrong and Moen really respond to the opportunity to play bigger minutes on top lines. In no particular order, I thought Price, PK, Bourque, Prust, White, Moen, and Tinordi played excellent, even perfect games (given their respective talents). They seemed to inspire Ryder and DD. Who am I kidding though? Just a whole team effort. Really impressive win tonight! Next two are just half-home ice games, so we'll have to keep up the amazing play.

  I'm just watching Therrien's press conference. He was asked about Diaz's "improved play tonight." Therrien didn't miss a beat, said he thought Diaz "was great last night, and good again tonight." Then he made sure to point out that it is "Raph-ael Di-az" who wears number 61, in case someone out there didn't know. Love it. Really, really impressed with the leadership of Michel Therrien. He really believes in his team and in the character of each guy in his locker room. That goes a long, long way. He's winning the coaching battle by a mile. Jack Adams please. Long road to go yet. But it's great to know we'll travel it with class.

  Right on. Let's all get behind this team for each and every game, if only for Eller, our future star centre!
