We have scored 9 goals in the series so far. Our top lin players have their names in on 4 of those goals. The grind line is is on as many and young Sergi has a couple. The game tonight will be a contribution from each line and I think we win it 5-2 with 2 powerplay goals. We can wait for the Flyers to show up after that
Why do we have to be so sensitive to what the T.O. media has to say about the Habs? Granted the CBC seems to have a core of dinosaurs that are still clinging to the black and white photos of the 1967 cup, but I think that the tide is turning. I am in Guelph/Waterloo and sometimes listen to the Fan 590 in the car (it the Team 990 when I am at the computer) and to my surprise there is little Habs jealousy on toronto's sports radio. For example: the morning guy, Don Landry, stated he is cheering for the Habs this playoffs and I heard a great interview with Bulldogs head coach Don Lever yesterday afternoon in which Carey Price and the rest of the Habs rooks were heavily praised. I doubt that Denis Casavant would be rooting for the Leafs had the tides been turned. Anyway all this just to say lets just concentrate on the great season the Habs are having and laugh at Don Cherry et al. losing their minds. Go Habs Go, never mind about T.O. and the Leafs.
This is nice to hear and it is well said. Thank you for writing it.
Interesting post.
Sick of listening to the T.O. media and Leaf fans get down on the Habs.If you look around the league all of the series are close and I believe the Habs have not played their best hockey and are still up 3-1.Koivu will make a great addition in the next round and I think the PP will get going soon.
GOING TO THE GAME WOOT!!

if all goes according to plan...are we playing the Rangers?
which means AVERY???
If Philly wins we play them.
If not, then unless NJ can come back, we face NYR

thanks, of course we play the bottom seed...
but enough of that, first order of business first.
Habs will get the lowest seed remaining after round one which at this time could be Philly or if Philly loses we get the winner of NYR/Devils.
I thought that after the first round it's by points total rather than seeds. Am I wrong?
The Habs play either philly or the caps. You are right Timo.
GO HABS.
News to me. I have no idea.

Slightly off-topic, but Sergei Samsonov just signed a three-year $7.6M contract with Carolina.

2. Josh Gorges on Montreal's attack: "They're comin', they're comin' and they keep comin'. Just line after line, wave after wave..."
Game 5 - Final Score
Boston Bruins 1
Montreal Canadiens 3

so another nail biter...damn...why not another game 1
Would be great to finish it on Thursday and hope the other 3 series go as long as possible. Boston is desperate and will go all out. I hope the crowd gives the team the needed momentum to wrap this up.
So long Boston!
And god bless.
Will Kovy explode?
13 to 25
Please someone with some pull (DAVE), that’s able to contact the Canadiens pass on this message……directly to Begin
1st tell him he is playing awesome and to continue
2nd more importantly please tell him to stop shooting high and wide on the rush, as this usually results in an odd man rush the other way.
This is what provoked the overtime winner in Boston and I noticed he did it 3 times last game..
The last thing we want is losing the cup because of a shot that was high and wide that flies around the board, giving the other team a rush.
Just a thought..
I have noticed that too. Each time he enters the offensive zone with the puck, he tries to shoot. After that he looks back at the bench as if he has done what Carbo told him. Did he know by now that a shot like that would never score? He just gives the puck away.
Can't wait until tomorrow night!
Koivu ready for the second round. Great news!
Now he can practice with the team until then and our C will bring his A-game.

Not even going to comment on Don cherry tonight..what an idiot, Price put them 1st overall?
ayiyi so out of touch.
"One face-off, one battle, one shift, one period, one game, one series at a time."
I missed Bias corner...what did he say about Montreal?
---------
1. THIS IS WAR
1. We will win the CUP
2. The BELL CENTRE should be rebuilt to sit 80,000 fans
3. Beware of the T.R.S.
He praised them but you can tell someone made him do it...
"One face-off, one battle, one shift, one period, one game, one series at a time."
interesting...like when he posed with the Montreal Soldiers and they showed it 2 weeks in a row.
the good thing is the farther the Habs go, the more we can enjoy listening to the CRINGE in the voices of Cole, Cherry and Mclean, heck even Kelly HRUDY is going anti-Hab.
I could not believe the other night how everything that came out of COLE and MULLENS mouth was about Boston and what Boston has to do to get that first goal...it was amazing....once in a while Cole would throw in a comment about Price being the real deal...then back to Boston!
(and yes I have RDS, but I like to hear them suffer in their job when Montreal is winning)
I agree about the other night, but really it has been the last few nights. It is ridiculous.
such a turnoff.
"One face-off, one battle, one shift, one period, one game, one series at a time."
I stopped getting mad...now its just added entertainment,
and great picture! hang on to that one till we send Boston Packing!
In case y'all missed it, the CBC loves the habs ;-)
