So for those that wanted to go with Budaj. There's the reason. Back to horrible rebound control. If Price let in these goals he would be getting roasted right now.



Why, why, why, why, why, why, is DD playing with our top guys. and surprise, surprise, the other MT favorite, takes a penalty.

First was definitely on Budaj but the second was a bouncing puck off the post. It even fooled Tinordi who went behind the net to retrieve as the puck rolled right to a sens player.

They are playing like they were down one from the first minute, the danger being that they open themselves up too much defensively. Reminds me of what we did to Washington.

I don't think too many are not putting the first goal on Budaj's shoulders, but he has been dumped into the pilots seat of an airliner plummeting to earth.

Game, Set.....

Talk about a game of inches.. " What If...."

All started Game 1 with 50 shots on Anderson...Facing a goalie that is at his best.

1. injuries.

2. Untimely goals by Senators

3. or that one big save to keep team in it

When its not your series, you look for all kinds of excuses ( officiating, unlucky bounces..)

The team made strides this year to get back into the playoffs and exceeded expectations in facing 2nd in the Eastern Conference in a shorten season.

With all the new staff and extra people ( scouts etc,,,) they now can look at a 48 game plus playoff to look at where the team is going and progress.

There were signs at end of season showing the team is not yet ready to contend:

1. .500 hockey last 20 games ( 10-10) plus 1-3 (4?) playoffs.. So a Below .500 team in last 24/25 games

2. Positive is young players have been evaluated ( even if they arent getting th minutes some would like..)

3. Depth of team..where to go from here...

4. Senators are not exactly top tier contenders either. But their young players have been given minutes to show their stuff.

5. End of day, the team wasnt ready this year. All and all a good season. Address some of the issues of the veterans and if they are past their prime.

6. Who in the FA market can be brought in.

7. With all the 2nd round/ 3rd , who can we find, can we find ( Lucic, marchand, Bergeron: what accelerated Bostons rise...countless other examples with other now top contenders.) yes can find jewels in rough, This is a key year for the organization.

Season went well, but playoffs maybe made expectations of team to a more realistic level ( well going back to last 20 games of season).

Cheering the Habs on till the end :)

That goal was huge. A one goal deficit isn't the end of the world and hopefully Budaj is a little more settled in now, that was a shaky period for him for sure.

So THAT explain my shakes! :pray:

finalement!!!

Vraiement mon ami!

People upset with Budaj should be glad we don't have to go to MAF... I wonder if they will be going with Vokoun the rest of the way.

Here we go.

Big save, but another 2-1
