DON Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Which Hab team will show up, tight checking and hard working one, or one who already starting thinking about 2nd round and been reading too many press clippings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Let's hope its the same bunch of Professionals who showed up Friday night in Tampa. they took care of business without resorting to too many fancy plays! Keep it simple boys, and work hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habscout Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Go Habs Go! Time to put home ice to good use. Tampa will be desperate tonight so this is a huge game. By the way it was nice to see the NHL fine Lucic for the gonads shot to Dekeyser but they somehow were sleeping when he did the same thing to Emelin.

Lovett's Magnatones Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Does anyone (Brian I'm typing in your direction) know the last time the Habs played on consecutive holidays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronthab Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Does anyone (Brian I'm typing in your direction) know the last time the Habs played on consecutive holidays? Kinda weird to have a game on Easter Sunday. Happy Easter y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Does anyone (Brian I'm typing in your direction) know the last time the Habs played on consecutive holidays? 2004 against Boston in the playoffs. Apr. 9 - Good Friday - Boston 2, Montreal 1 (OT) Apr. 11 - Easter Sunday - Montreal 3, Boston 2 - Markov with the GWG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumpano21 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 GO HABS GO!!! In Phoenix this weekend and happy to see the CBC feed on MSNBC. Party on Wayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yep, the question tonight is whether the Habs will have the killer instinct and play the way they need to in order to slit this team's throat. If they do that, then we'll have cause to really be impressed with this team's playoff mentality and we can start to dream of bigger things. You've got your boot on their neck, boys - put 'em out of their misery tonight!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Just seems overconfidence is one hard thing to keep in check. Sort of same with 1st home game after a road trip, usually home team struggles. Guess is where good veteran leadership may make the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The Habs will be on the attack tonight, no question about it. We'll see what kind of road game Tampa has. If the Habs score early, Bell Centre is going to be l-o-u-d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Score a couple of early ones and this is over. Jon Cooper is well spoken but looking at his post game interveiw he seems a little lost, like The plan didn't work, and he is not sure where to go from here.

bigbigbear Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The Vets such as Gionta and Plekanec remember the feeling when they were up by 2 against the Bruins. There will be no let down tonite, and the HABS will show up to play tonite. MaxPac and Eller wil have a great game..... It'll be good not to have to deal with Bishop once again, the faster they end this series the less chance that Bishop can stonewall the HABS. MT will be able to create the matchups that he wants playing against Stamkos. Go HABS GO, Happy Easter Sunday all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMAC Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 :gohabsgo:I can't wait for the game.... with the 2am starts here in Qatar the wait is long especially when I don't get a nap. Oh well, sacrifices must be made. My 11 year old son was up with me for games 1 & 2 but he has school tomorrow so we will watch together tomorrow afternoon when he gets home. I hope my anti-jinx on Bourque continues to pay dividends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilz Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 On paper.. these are 2 different caliber squads.
