Stanley Cup Playoffs: 2014
Sweet win for the Habs.
Stamkos great, Habs better
That was a sweet goal off the post - Go Habs Go!
Price was weak on that one!
Yes!
No riots. I feel like I don't even know this city anymore.
Bring on the cubs.
gawd, I just hope it's the RedWings and not Boston again...
B's series so predictable: some goon elbows/spears/hooks a fleet Hab, the papers go crazy, the coaches shout, yea yea, seen that all before.
bring on Babcock and Datsyuk for some real hockey
After last night I think the wings are sunk. I can't see where they will get the scoring punch to be Rask.
If this was last year,the Habs would be facing Pittsburgh (if they win their series or either Philly or NYR).
I hate the Bruins but they'll bulldoze through the Canadiens and win in 5.
Perhaps Ron has been hanging around Don Cherry too much - you think.
I don't know him, but I wonder if MscLean was misinterpreted as it appears out of character for what I have seen of him
Ron MacLean won't be reprimanded over Quebec refs comment
CBC commentator said French-Canadian referee should not be assigned to Montreal Canadiens playoffs

I dunno;
if fast stylish Habs teams could not beat rough tough Bruins teams, the historic playoff record would not be what it is -- roughly 3:1 Ws for Canadiens
very disappointed this morning:
for one brief moment Thursday evening the possibility shimmered of a skill series Mtl vs Detroit: Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and their young guys, Tatar and Nyquist....
then, no: we go back to a probable bump-bump series vs the Bruins, which gives Cherry again a starring role, and all the predictable headlines
sometimes you have to live with your No. 2 choice, but it remains disappointing...
I went to bed after the first period with Detroit winning and my Blue Jays clinging to a one run game. Why do I turn on the sports news in the morning?
God damn it I hate the Bruins so much.
If Price can get hot,hot, hot we just might have a chance.
I turned CBC off for good in the middle of Cherry's segment.
From now on I'll watch the games on RDS.
I think Price was hot
What did Cherry say about Subban last nite?
I have tickets for Game 3; very glad Bruins being up 2-0 now impossible; that would have made it hard to believe ...
DaveW
You are one lucky guy!
Enjoy!
Thanks,
my son and I were also at Game 4 vs Tampa; late winning goal made that about the loudest sport event I have attended ....
although I would add that the March 15th game -- when Ottawa blew a 3-1 lead in the last 3 minutes to lose 4-3 -- was pretty close, epic collapse.... and Ginette was not even singing!
If u can text us some messages 'bout the atmosphere, etc.
Cheers,
Yes, that sounds great.
I guess it is no surprise that there was a very large number of racist tweets against PK Subban when he scored the winning overtime goal.
La madre del cretino è sempre incinta.
What did that right-wing white male jerk don Cherry say about Subban last nite?
the tweets I heard about were largely by BB fans...

Cheers,
weirdly the WiFi at Bell centre is hit and miss, sometimes goes dead at sign-on, anyway, will try something
A 2-0 lead coming home would be sweet.
Cherry made some derogatory remark - just would like to know what he actually said.
What did that right-wing white male jerk don Cherry say about Subban last nite?
Instead of talking about his goal, he focussed on a missed hit that lead to a Boston scoring chance. Not a big issue in itself, but it must be looked at in the context of many other complaints about Subban's play. Where Kevin Bieksa from my Canucks who can be quite inconsistent in his play, only has his 'smart' plays shown by Cherry.
Thanks Pogo.
Cherry's behavior is pathtic to say the least.
Saturday's third period was painful to watch.
it happens ...
I was at the Bell for the Habs game March 15th, when Ottawa led 3-1 with just 3 minutes to go; they lost 4-3
lovely for home fans, and yes, hard for the Sens but comebacks happen, you just move on
Was the misspelling of the Habs intentional?
Are u at the Bell Centre yet DaveW?
Les Canadiens are losing every third period and won't win that way.
PS: Corrected, Tks Caissa.
Saturday's third period was painful to watch.
DaveW - enjoying the game?
Not again though, as now with that last goal, I'm scared - is Boston coming back again in the third?
Montreal needs to learn to play in the third period. Interesting goals. Montreal's first 3 were all on beautiful plays while Boston got two deflections in close. I'll take Montreal's return to Firewagon hockey anyday.
Are u at the Bell Centre yet DaveW?
again, their Wifi is terrible at the Bell, off and on; my son says it is overcapacity, but surely you expand that for the masses
anyway, quite the game and no letdowns, although at 3-2 nothing was guaranteed, far from it
Awesome, DaveW -- what a game to see too.
I always regret never seeing a playoff game while living in Montreal -- although I didn't have much occasion to do it back then...
Tks DaveW,
So what's your opinion on Subban knocking the net off the post - schrewd move or accidential?
There was quite a discussion about it by the TV announcers last nite.

re Subban:
you know, when you are at a live game, without the camera always focusing your attention, some events don't seem so important/obvious; it was only afterward that the Subban move appeared so crucial; like in the Tampa game where they pulled their goalie, it took a while to realize what was going on, since it just looked like a Bolts time out from high in the stands....
and
a good commentary, by some character:

Heh. Awesome! "A super Vanek."
Classy response from the Bruins
A lot of CLC delegates may be absent for the next few hours
Hey DaveW - where are u tonite?
Go Habs Go!
Hi there, visited the Bell street fair, already packed at 5.30,
got a hotdog at the firemen's charity at the nearby station on Mountain
But
No tix tonite, so at home on the couch like everybody...
0-0 in the 2nd, despite a few close chances
Power play now!
On to OT, 0-0... oh oh!
