A better finish to the period, but need to sustain more pressure inside the Sens blueline. Anderson doesn't look rusty, but he does look lucky so far ... This. PK's shot off the post onto his legs, and the redirect tipped right into his chest.

When I met you in the restaurant You could tell I was no debutante You asked me what's my pleasure A movie or a measure? I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming Dreaming is free ,,,

In case it wasn't obvious ... so was I.

That's the key. He's played 24 games, only allowed 3+ goals five times. Need to shake up his confidence.

I think they'll probably fire him before the series starts, no point waiting since he can't possibly win it anyway!

Sens have been hot recently, and the season series is not in our favour. Need a new approach for this series to win it. We haven't really played them very often in the playoffs, I think the last time was in 1927.

Me too. Has he done that before?

And that's all she wrote ... Subban needs to take the credit here.

Looks like we need another good PK. And in OT.

OK, if nothing else it was a good PK.

Where is that "Like" button?

Personally I accept even dishonest wins, as long as they are ours.

I don't think so ...

So we'll need to trade one of Budaj or Tokarski, it's just a question of which one.

Right. They are not going to blow apart this year's roster -- hopefully we'll get some good improvements, but it's not like we need to start over from scratch. With regards to goalies, Tokarski might not be thrilled to be a backup for three years, but we could probably sign him to an entry-level contract for much less than the $1.4M we pay Budaj. And cap room is good. That said, if Tokarski's trade value ends up being much higher, that might tilt the scales in the other direction.

I don't think $2M (or even $2.5M) will get us a top-six winger or top-four defenceman in today's market ... and that's even assuming that there are attractive UFAs in the market that would be willing to sign with the Habs. But of course we don't know how much of a cut Gionta is willing to take: he might want $4.5M, or he might settle for $1.5M in order to stay in Montreal. He's not getting $5M anywhere though ... Therrien overusing Gionta might become less of a problem if we can sign some legit offensive power in the meantime.

Gionta says he wants to return and would take a pay cut. With a big enough cut, I would personally like to keep him, even if it's on a checking line/PK role. (I don't think he needs the money anyway ... not after five years at $5M apiece.)

How often have we gone even 10-7 in the post-season -- and this time without our star goalie in the final series? A fabulous ride this year, as you say.

We've won undeserved games before, and lost deserved ones. Deserving a game doesn't mean much in hockey. Anyway, I'm happy and proud of this team, they did far more than I expected, and got damned close to the finals. Let's hope they build on this in 2014-15.

That PP was as bad as the last PK was good ... sigh.

Weaver already has 5 blocked shots through two periods ...

This. I have to believe, even against the odds.

All right, there should be no sitting back now. Let's see if that lights a fire ...

Left him all alone in front of the net ...

Not by much.
