Lost for the usual reasons that we lose. PP absolute dogshit, and in general just can't score.

They've been horrid. Price has allowed them to play like absolute garbage for 25min with no harm done; I sure hope the team wakes up in time to not squander the bailout.

It'd be nice to win just one, but watching with no expectations. Been a hell of a ride no matter what happens.

Correct on both counts. It was a great ride, but the ride is over.

100% right. As spectacular as he was through 3 rounds, he has started to resemble the sub-par goaltender that he was through most of the regular season.

The competence of our GM and coaching staff must be called into question if Gus dresses for game 4.

DEFINITELY over

Sure feels like it's over now.

He's barely an NHL caliber D-man...dress Romanov FFS

This crash back down to earth is painful.

Absolutely...it can't hurt to put a well-rested Tatar out there to see if he can spark a bit of offence. Put Romanov in there too...I've seen enough of Gus to know that he's not the discount powerplay QB Bergevin gambled that he'd be.

I hope/pray Seattle rolls the dice on him. It would be a double win: not losing someone we actually want to keep, and being rid of Drouin and his bloated salary.

So you think this was some huge miscarriage of cosmic justice, and the Habs deserved to win because they took a lot of shots that didn't go in? It's too easy to let your team off the hook because they won the shot counter game...but if you have any sense at all, you look at Tampa and recognize that it's going to take 3 to have a chance to beat them the vast majority of nights, and that 1 measly goal scored will beat them MAYBE one time out of 20.

You deserve to lose 100% of the games that you only score one goal in. Don't know what else to say after that one.

Great....so it's the Finals and suddenly the no-finish, give up a goal in the last minute of a period team that was hard to watch this past season shows up.

Game over.

What a shit sequence that was.

Back in it.

Great news...we need guys who can get in on the forecheck and lay hits on Lightning D-men (especially Hedman) hard and repeatedly.

I was beyond happy when Leks ended it, but I was almost a bit surprised...I really thought 22 would be the one. That's ok though, he owes me one to open the scoring in the Final.

My nerves are shot....

I knew to the core of my being that he would get a goal tonight. ...don't think 22 is finished either.

So do I...with a period under their belt the nerves should fade. We should see more accurate/cleanly handled passes from here on out, and it will all come together.

We are winning by 2 or 3 tonight. Caufield gets one for sure, quite possibly two.

I'm guessing the party will be on in MTL on Thursday...a chance to wrap it up on Jean Baptiste Day.... Younger me would have booked a room, done the drive, and sat on a patio with a big screen at opening time. I can't survive an entire day of drinking anymore though...it's a shame.
