Man Toronto won again , 6-5 vs Florida... They simply refuse to die! HUGE night by Sundin.. 4 goals 2 assists! Man those 2 straight wins against them are so unbelievably huge right now. Had they won both those games, Habs would be at 87 points and Leafs at... 88

April 10 games Edmonton 0 Detroit 2 - END Phoenix 0 Colorado 4 - 2nd period He's less than 5 minutes away from blanking the Blues as we speak Ok, blanking the Blues is not that impressive but that's still encouraging for a backup.

I noticed too.. maybe he's trying to compensate for Bégin's loss?

Random toughts Why cant Habs never score into an empty net? Why did they took 1 full period to get into the game? Why doesn't Sundstrom at least try to keep his spot on the roster? Who else want Sen's Neil to get punched in the face?

Making Bonk an healthy scratch makes no sense, he's playing his best hockey of the season since 10-15 games.

I guess we'll see Lapierre in the lineup then?

Yoopi! We get to play the Sens right in the good times! They're injuries problems arent solved yet but Chara and Redden are very close to a return. Chara would already be polaying if this was a do or die game for the Sens, but thankfully for us, it is not

Maybe they could send Théodore in the AHL for a few games so he get in top shape again? I would go the safe way with Budaj until the end of the season then on with Théo in the playoff.

oo my bad, LA isnt completely out yet, but they're is virtually no margin of error now. IF Edmonton loose all their remaining games IN REGULATION AND Vancouver doesnt get more than 2 points until the end of the season *AND* LA win all their 3 games, both LA and Edmonton will be at 91 points but LA will win the tie breaker with 43 wins as opposed to Edmonton's 39.

That's a mistake, it's now mathematically impossible for BOTH San Jose and Vancouver to catch them since they play against each other twice, and that what would need to happens to eliminate them In other news... Edmonton loose 2-1 against Saint Louis.. thats simply inexcusable from an EDM standpoint San Jose owned Dallas 4-1, they're now in the playoff Minesotta beat Colorado 5-2 LA is now eliminated because they cant catch both San Jose and Vancouver

I heard he's in net right now, Budaj gave some bad goals so he got yanked.

ok gotcha On topic, Calgary and Nashville clinched their spot yesterday and the Kings are in huge trouble.. it's practically impossible for them to get a spot now Remaining schedules for the teams that havent clinched or been eliminated yet Anaheim - 5 games left / 94 points Ap. 10 @ Vancouver 11 @ Calgary 13 @ Edmonton 15 @ San Jose 17 vs Calgary Colorado - 5 games left / 92 points Ap. 9 vs Minessotta 11 vs Phoenix 13 @ Calgary 15 @ Vancouver 17 @ Edmonton Edmonton - 4 games left / 91 points Ap. 9 @ Saint Louis 11 @ Detroit 13 vs Anaheim 17 vs Colorado Vancouver - 4 games left / 89 points 10 vs Anaheim 12 vs San Jose 13 @ San Jose 15 vs Colorado San Jose - 6 games left / 89 points Ap 9 vs Dallas 10 @ Phoenix 12 @ Vancouver 13 vs Vancouver 15 vs Anaheim 17 vs LA LA - 3 games left / 85 points Ap 13 @ Phoenix 15 vs Calgary 17 @ San Jose

Nope but I'm with you, I really hoppe he will be back soon But no worries, Bégin is a real warrior and will be back as soon as he able to, even if he have to suffer to play.. and not one game later .

Carolina is sucking lately, they lost again tonight.. they really took the worse time to slump Come playoff time, I would actually prefer facing the Canes than the Devils.

Ah man those Devils sure are frustrating to play against.. They make very few mistakes, and when they do, Brodeur is they're to correct them. Very experienced them.. they will be a force to reckon with come playoff time.. I think I fear them more than the canes even tough they are lower than them in the standings. Very good game by the Habs tough, against almost any team that kind of effort would have gave us a win.. but o well, I guess that's Karma getting back at us for that horrible 6-5 win @ Pittsburgh. Can't win them all!

I think this is the first time in a longgg while I'm actually excited to see a game implicating the New Jersey Devils.. they are often soooo borrringgggg.. I hope it won't be the case tonight.

oo I see. Thanks for the explanations Being from eastern Canada, I don't meet often Canucks fans in real life, so I didnt knew they were morphing into something like Leafs fans. Almost all the people here are either Habs or Sens fans, along with the occasional Bruins fan. I want them to do well only because they are a canadian team, if they were in Seatle I wouldn't care about them

NHL Team : Any canadian team not located in a city starting in T- and ending in -oronto , Pittsburgh, Washington Player : Alfredsson, Heatley , Sakic , Selanne , Ovenckin , Bergeron , Samsonov QJMHL Team : Gatineau Olympique Player : Guillaume Latendresse OHL Team : Ottawa 67's Football Team : The Alouettes of course F1 Team : Anybody but Ferrari Racer : Anyone but M.Schumacher Soccer Team : France national team Player : Zidaneeeeeeeee Baseball Team : Anyone but the Blue Jays , the Yankees and the Nationals

http://zorak.best.vwh.net/nhl/ Calgary is 1 point away from clinching and mm I wonder why you guys dislike Vancouver so much.. is it only because of Bertuzzi, or they're is other reasons?

My preference would be 1st round - Rangers 2nd - Senators 3rd - Lightning (vengeance timeeee!) Final - Red Wings Altough it have only a very small chance of happening.. the standings would need to be like this at the end of the season 1 - Ottawa 2 - Rangers 110pts - Rangers go on a roll : 6-0-0 in their last 6 3 - Carolina 109pts - Carolina slump and go 1-4-1 in their last 6 4 - Buffalo/Philly 5 - Buffalo/Philly 6 - Tampa 7 - Habs 8 - Jersey Rangers are 8 points behind Carolina with 6 games left to play for both teams as we speak.. mathematically doable, but almost impossible to happen. First round 1) Ottawa eliminate 8) Jersey 7) Habs eliminate 2) Rangers 6) Tampa eliminate 3) Carolina Buffalo/Philly - doesn't matter 2nd round 1 - Ottawa 2 - Buffalo/Philly 3 - Tampa 4 - Habs 4) Habs eliminate 1) Ottawa 3) Tampa eliminate 2) Buffalo/Philly 3rd round 2) Habs eliminate 1) Tampa

It's all but settled in the east now but out west we still don't know who will make it Vancouver - Edmonton - LA -San Jose. 4 teams in competition for 2 spots avaible..Who will make it in your opinion? I hope for both canadian teams to make it, but San Jose is too hot to handle right now so I think Vancouver will get bounced off... They really owned the Bruins in the Thorton trade eh! That's what turned their season arround. But LA choked, therefore Edmonton should be safe.

haha yeah, at one moment I tought I heard them singing " Go Habs go", I was like "WTF the game is in Ottawa isnt it?"

Woohoo nice second and third by the Habs.. Aebischer saved our ass in the first tough go habs go

Great great game by the Habs. The Bruins can consider themselves lucky to have kept it so close for so long, the second goal of theirs was very lucky and the third one was one rare softie given by Huet, while the Canadiens was missing lot of chances and were getting frustrated by Thomas.. Our attack is way too quick for the Bruins. They can thank Thomas, he was very impressive tonight. Without him it would had been 10-3, easilly.
