I have spoken with Guy and Bob and I told them that I have 5 Habs in my pool and for the Habs to go all the way.... so they will try and get as many points for me as possible by playing as many games as possible. What a classy bunch of guys :)
Keep the faith everyone.. it will be over tomorrow night and the boys will have until Thursday to get healthy and rest. The Bruins won't know what hit them.

Memo to all the haters, faders, booers, critics, bandwagon dropoffs and ye of little faith:
If you always believed and still believe, good on you. You're the fan base that makes this team the storied enterprise that it is.
If you never believed, and still don't believe, fair enough, at least you're consistent.
But if you're one of those fans who's been waffling back and forth all year, flapping around like a windsock in a hurricane, cheering on your heroes after every victory and booing the bums after every loss, you're not helping the cause. But worse than that, you're not getting the full experience of being a fan, riding out the highs and lows, loving this team through good seasons and bad.
There seem to be a lot of posters on here who are having a series of one-night stands with the Canadiens, some of which are wonderful, some of which are awful, but none of which are as deeply fulfilling in the long-term as a serious commitment to the team. Don't get me wrong, commitment doesn't need to be scary. The team isn't asking for a minivan and a picket fence, and you can even continue to see other teams (so long as the Habs aren't playing). All the Habs want is your support, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, until they have a Stanley Cup to have and to hold.
Is that really too much to ask?

Why do we look back? That was embarrasing. Let's forget it and focus on winning one more... Not that the other team is laughing at us: http://habsbros.blogspot.com/

Habs must go into Game 6 with the mindset that they're going to be eliminated and then play with desperation for the win. There are no walks in the park this spring.
A win = series over
a win = more rest before the next series
A win = new life and clean slate in the second round
A win = one step closer to Lord Stanley's cup
A win = comfort & healing for the Habs fan that was beat to a pulp in Boston on Tuesday
A win = a collective sigh of relief for all Canadiens' fans everywhere
Message to Habs: PLEASE PLAY LIKE YOU WANT A WIN AND YOU'LL BE REWARDED!!!

Kovalev jersey on, Higgins jersey hangin on the wall beside me, Habs blanket sitting on the couch, my cat "Higgins" watchin the game with me. We put in a better effort in the 3rd period than the team on the ice.

You know how everyone loves the drama?
Well I hate the drama. I don't want drama.
I want clear-cut Victory.
That's not too much to ask, is it?
We have to Win.
We're the MTL Canadiens.
That's what we do.
