  1. Should we win? YES!

    Will we win? YES!

    Is it in the bag? NO!

    I still have visions of Messier and the boys slapping Thibeault and

    the boys around after we walked into MSG and took the first 2 games.

    Plus as a Yankee fan watching the Red Sox take 4 straight after being

    3 down, I am not content until the final nail is in the coffin and

    we are booking the Canes tee off times.

  2. I would definitely say that was a character win.

    They blew a 3-0 lead. Lost one of their top d-men for essentially the whole game.

    Suffered 2 lucky goals by Carolina and still led 5-4 with a minute and a half to go.

    That alone would have been a character win.

    This is a potential backbreaker for the Canes and a huge confidence boost for the Habs.

    They deserve to be exactly where they are, and I do not think Carolina can play much

    better. They have 2 even strength goals and 1 was a fluke deflection and the other

    came 1 minute in to game 1 over 8 periods ago.

  3. I am pretty sure if you made a comparison to the top tier teams we want the habs to be

    that you will not see teams like NJ, Ottawa, Detroit etc blowing the amount of games

    that the habs seem to in the last minutes of important games.

    I live in TO and see probably 85% of all the Leafs games and I can remember them giving up a last minute goal to tie a playoff game maybe once since 1999. So that is 1 in 15 rounds.

    The Habs have done it 4 times in the last 4 playoff rounds they have played.

    If you do not get tight around the collar when the other team has the goalie pulled,

    I hand it to you because you are an eternal optimist.

  4. I am happy that the Habs held on for the victory last night, but

    when is this habit of giving up back breaking goals in the last

    minute of the game going to end.

    2002

    Carolina scores with a minute to go to send the game to OT

    allowing them to tie the series at 2 games.

    2004

    Boston scores with under a minute to go to to send the game to OT

    allowing them to take the series lead at 3 games to one.

    Tampa Bay scores with under a minute to go to to send the game to OT

    allowing them to take the series lead at 3 games to none.

    2005

    Carolina scores with a minute and a half to go to send the game to OT,

    but the Habs finally come through with the victory.

    The Habs have given away 3 games in the last 4 playoff series we played. And this habit

    is not just in the playoffs. How many times in the regular season did we do

    this? I think they have done this more in the last 4 years then in the previous 30.

    Let's hope that this was the nail in that coffin because I am now conditioned to expect the worst.
