Everytime i lose hope ... i watch this video and remember 2 of the last 3 are being played here ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZHqAesPJik&feature=related
It just raises the hair on the back of my neck everytime!
A LITTLE SHOT OF HOPE ;)
I am confident that the HABS will win Saturday at home ... the last time MTL was backed against a wall they blewout the B's 5 - 0 ... Its game 6 that is scary (however if the HABS win it and tie the series in Philly) there is no chance for Philly in Game 7 (Momentum + Home Ice = HABS second 3 - 1 comback in 4 yrs)
One game at a time ( we score the first goal...the whole game dynamics change)
Price is well rested and the HABS have 2 days to refocus, they win saturday and it is to their advantage that Philly will have less then 24 hours to recuperate
Pedal to the metal ... GO HABS GO
Just trying to be funny here...but if the entire crowd blew the air out of their lungs as hard as they can all at the same time...do you think it would be enough to push the puck a little faster or move it that extra inch to avoid the post/crossbar/Biron's glove?
I've seen the 21 thou do crazier things ;)
Why should the habs come out flying Saturday? How well as that worked so far? We lack the killer instinct and then they capitalize. We should sit back and let them do the attacking...Hey after 11 games of same old same old, Im running out of ideas...
''Bet Montreal is really STUNNED! LOL! The Flyers are playing some serious hockey!!! They should have clinched it already, but....that's how playoff hockey goes. BIRON IS PLAYING AWESOME. THE FLYERS ARE ALL OVER THE HABS! FLYERS IN 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'' (off a Flyers Board)
Wow...Am I the only one who truly beleives that the Habs are outplaying the Flyers big time ? Can a Flyers fan really be serious by saying that his team is all over the habs ?
''I love it... they call fcking BOARDING on Richards, the guy never even touched the boards lol...''
Ok maybe they're just really stupid, my bad
The Flyers are all over the Habs???? Have you watched the same game as we all have??? Yes they have been more opportunustic... But we have completely dominated them.. We beat them on shots, body checks, chances... Wow I can say I am blind because I am a true Habs fan but get your eyes checked...

Those we're quotes taken off Flyers Boards and are not mine at all my friend.
Cobb's Creek Golf Club
72 Landsdowne Ave., Philadelphia PA 19151; Tel. 215.877.8707
"Opened in 1916, this old course is the premier blue-collar golf experience in the metro Philadelphia area. The complex features two 18-hole tracks: the Kara Kung course (5,762 yards) and the famous Olde Course (6,202 yards). This Philadelphia golf course features views of the Philadelphia skyline and is known for its relaxed atmosphere— Styrofoam coolers and ice are available at the pro shop (if you know what I mean). Green fees are in the $10-$30 range."
10 bucks a round?! If the Habs knock of Philly, I'll personally pay for the Flyers' first round of golf of the summer!

Win is the only Path we have left, and were going to do just that. Habs just gotta play like Habs and we will make Philly play golf.
Are the Habs capable of beating the Philadelphia Flyers 3 times in a row, with two of those games at home?
The answer is yes, they can do it, but I give it a 10% chance that we actually will do it. As you know, they did exactly that against Boston in 2004, without so-called home-ice advantage. I was at game 7 in Boston, and it was beautiful.
I think the key is for the boys to forget what happened already, and play each game like it really is your last (which it is if you lose anyway). You cannot look back ("We are down 3-1") or look ahead ("We must win 3 in a row or we are toast"). The Bruins nearly did it to us this year, but ran out of gas in game 7. Can we?
If they don't press, and if they play like they have nothing to lose, they could easily win Saturday night. They are due for a win anyway. The Flyers are not as good as we think they are right now, and we are not as bad as we seem to be. Biron is not perfect, he's just playing that way. Plus we are missing a lot of opportunities that we normally capitalize on. If we survive long enough that will change.
I think there is a 45% chance the Habs will win Saturday night. If we can get a lead, we will reverse some momentum and play with confidence. We have not lost 4 in a row all year, but that means nothing now.
If we cross the big bridge of winning game 5, the odds of winning the series go to 25% in my opinion. Game 6 in Philly will be very tough (35% chance of winning) and will mean more pressure on both teams (the Habs will feel the pressure of winning to get home to game 7, and the Flyers will feel the pressure to end it then and there), but if they maintain the nothing-to-lose attitude, they can pull that off too. Again, they have to grab a lead and change the flow of the game.
Game 7, if they make it that far, would be another crapshoot, and at that point I would assume a 50% chance of winning both that game and the series. I don't think home ice helps at all, but at least I get to go to another game. And what a scene that would be.
If they manage to do it, they will go down in 4 or 5 to the Penguins, who may sweep the Rangers, and who will be primed and ready for whichever team has survived two consecutive seven-game bloodbaths in order to get to round 3.
But I would gladly trade a series win against Philly for a sweep by the Pens in a heartbeat. We need to get past the 2nd round so that we have something to build on for the future. The last time we made it past round 2 was in 1993. But you all knew that.
Say a prayer!!
Rocket1960
I do not think it is neccessary to pray at all.
I actualy think we have Philadelphia right where we want them.
For the last 8 out of 9 periods the Habs have completely dominated the play.
The ONLY difference has been a smokin hot goalie and some less than stellar attempts at scoring disguised by the "oooo's and awwwwwes" of the broadcast annoucers.
On just about every single missed so called 'Open Net" The Habs player in question shot the puck right at the goalie, and in 6 of 7 cases right off the post.
Luck doesn't happen.
A good team makes it's own luck through hard work and dedication to each and every puck battle.
A Habs win say 6 or 7-2 on saturday night changes the entire complection of this series tremendously !!!
it would put the fear of G-D and Golfing into Philly, rattle Biron Big Time and IMO...assure a seventh game !!!
The Key is GOAL SCORING NOW !!!
If they go out on Saturday with a target of 6 or 7 goals and hit that target
Rememeber i said this...
They WILL WIN THIS SERIES !!!
WE ARE A FAR FAR BETTER TEAM THEN PHILLY IS AND IT'S OBVIOUS WATCHING THIS SERIES
JUST SCORE
DO WHAT THEY ARE PAID THE SICK MONEY TO DO !!!
AND IT'S REALY AND EASY THING FOR THIS TEAM !!!
SCREW BIRON...SCREW HIM HARD...
THIS IS A GUY WHO IS A SELF-PROCLAIMED "HAB -HATTER HIS WHOLE LIFE !!!
WELL..
I LOVED TEAM CANADA '72 BUT I HATE BOBBY CLARK AND EVERY SINGLE THING HE STANDS FOR
HE IS AN AFRONT TO THE SPORT OF HOCKEY and biron is an afront to the HABS !!!
IN THE CASE OF CLARK HE HAS MOST OBVIOUSLY INSTRUCTED THE YOUNGER GOONS ON PHILLY LIKE UMBRINGER TO "HIT TO INJUR" AND I FOR ONE SAY
THE PAYBACK
IS LONG OVERDUE!!!
someone needs to stand up for the Hatcher hit on Bouillion
IT'S TIME TO SEND A CLEAR AND CONSISE MESSAGE TO THESE GOONS THAT THIS THING ISN'T OVER AND KATE SMITH OR NO...
WE AIN'T HEARD NO FAT LADY YET !!!!
Far better team?
Game one losing 2-0
Game two losing 2-0
Game 3 losing 3-0
Game 4 losing 2-0
What planet did you say you were from?
I agree... We are all fans here and we treat every member with respect. name calling is not tolerated here...

Go Habs Go!
THANKS SCOTTY
YOU "AIIIIIGHT"
LOL !!!
Wow, you Ok George?
"One face-off, one battle, one shift, one period, one game, one series at a time."
"Are the Habs ready to pay the Price?"
lmao
not until everyone starts believing
HEY...LAST TIME I CHECKED YA HAD TO WIN 4 NOT 3 GAMES !!!
i ACTUALY WILL NOT BE o.k. until the seventh Habs' Goal Saturday Night !!!
But I have complete Faith in The Habs and it's a good thing we are "ON THE BRINK"
i'll tell ya this...
they could Put all of us on the ice this Saturday and We'd definitly win !!!
So I have COMPLETE faith in the Players themselves right now !!!
THIS SERIES IS OURS...THERE'S NO WAY THE FLYERS WIN THIS !!!
The Capitals were losing 3-1 to the Flyers and found a way to force a game 7. We still have some vets left from the year we came back 1-3 to beat Boston. I for one cant find a way to be nervous right now. If we win Saturday, we will be full of confidence for game 6 on Sunday. IMO, if habs win saturday they win the series.
Carbo will be wearing his lucky tie, and should try to go back with the lines who brought us here.
We'll see what happens
Gotta Keep the Faith !
They also have the very recent memory of Boston being down 3-1 and forcing a game 7 against them.
"One face-off, one battle, one shift, one period, one game, one series at a time."
"Are the Habs ready to pay the Price?"
Yes Keep the faith boys!and say a prayer!

my information about Ryder was not made up. Just ask the CBC! Ryder is a patheyic excuse for a player. Laughing while his team is losing? I hope nobody picks him up, but if they do I hope he has a career ending injury!
What kind of person wishes ill-will towards someone else?? Where exactly do you come from???
You, sir, are an idiot.
1. www.flickeringpictures.com - not a hockey site, but still kinda neat
2. Josh Gorges on Montreal's attack: "They're comin', they're comin' and they keep comin'. Just line after line, wave after wave..."
Sounds like you'd meet the requirements to be a philly fan!
You're a pathetic excuse for a poster. Making up garbage about someone you have no clue about.
Well, at least you've gotten the necessary attention you seek. Loser!
Habs2009 - get over yourself. Wishing someone a career ending injury is a bit much for a fan site.
Here's a picture of Carbonneau the day after losing to Philly. He is smiling. What do you suggest we do with this evil man?
