no, can't chew your fingers that way

man, did you see the way Zed,s knee took that fall. Not good at all. Was happy to see Doug harvey out there tripping a few bolts for us that period. More ghost please. Keeping the fingers crossed and the Jersey proudly on.

Ones in which we win the cup and failures. This one ain't looking good. And don't any of you give me that we had a good year crap, this ain't Toronto. No cup means the boys failed. This is how I believe Gainey feels and how I feel as a fan. :hlogo:

CRAP !!!! :wall: Man if we lose this one...... We have beaten them all 3 periods. What can I say but:wall::wall: :ghg::ghg::ghg:

yes think of the season, he was out with injury while we won game after game late winter early spring and that is why we are here. He had a great run up to his injury but has been a liability since returning. he could turn it around but right now he has stunk up the whole playoffs. fact. Not bashing him, just calling em as i see em.

after 2 arg!!!!:wall: we pounded them that period and still...... worst power play I can remember seeing on that 1st TB goal. Who's on the Sourey bandwagon tonight? Man he has to smarten up. We can beat these guys and are, we just aren't winning....:wall: I say take a misconduct and run Hows he pukin as hard as possible 1st shift. :ghg::ghg::ghg:

My first period analysis We are totally out playing them so far, the refs suck doggy doo threw a staw, and we are pounding them on the boards which is where I say all games are won. This one will be ours big time if the boys keep it up. :ghg::ghg::ghg:

5-0 and we still win the series in 6 :ghg::ghg::ghg:

simple answer- THEY HAVE WoMD ...but yes you are right that eliminating guns wouldn't solve the problems, but gun control has to be addressed, nra be damned, the king isn't about to attack. Wish I had answer but alas... glad to live north of the boarder where a murder anywhere makes national news. Not sure what it is but our forefathers did something right. But hey, when ever you guys decide to we will gladly let you join, divide you into 10 provinces and call Alaska a Territory. We promise a better crop of young hockey talent from your youth, a tim's on every corner (much better and cheaper than Starbucks) and beer that will actually sit you down (though it will set you back a bit more dough). Ah and don't forget the medical. So on election day just cross out the names (not sure how with your dang punch out system) and right in I want us to join Canada eh. If enough of you do it we will all sleep better at night.

Yeah and put the damn puck in the net while you are at it... been awhile.

I want to know what all the excitement in Toronto was about this buch of oldtimers. Seems to me that if your starting lineup can dress for a hasbeens game you are in trouble. Let's see how many of these guys are around next season (which is probably 17 months away. I say half are retired, a quarter go elsewhere as free agents and the laughs are left with no decent draft picks for awhile, a substandard non-playoff team and bad memories of 2003-2004 :clap: Maybe the thought of their future is what lead the idiots to party in the streets after round one. Best they will do for a long long time.

I have both white and red, bought when white was home. My pride is my '92-93 trainers sweater though. What I am after is a black practice jersey, any leads?

And this is why you have to worry about the enemy within. Don't know how y'all goin to do it but you have to clean up your act on the world scene. The rest of the world doesn't want to be policed by you. Wish I had an answer for you, but to start with get the guns out of the common peoples hands. This may save you from the eventual down fall of your government and the anarchy that will ensue. If you don't believe read some history books re. other countries that became empires. Rome, England, Germany, they all fell in a short period of time, all their citizens were overly patriotic and gave their leaders blind following. Solve your own problems and then maybe you can look at the worlds. Start with a legitimate election for President and go from there. And stop with the damn flag waving would you, step back and look and you will see it ain't all good. I have to add that I have travelled USA extensively and it is a very beautiful country with many good people. It's the collective that scares me. I ask...My country right or wrong? The answer should be NO...Right, my country or not. Peace

Well Tampa has 2 americans on their roster. Makes them a good ole USA team lol. I say if it gives the americans something to be proud of let them have their little moment. They are getting their butts kicked in Iraq, are hated by a large percentage of the world and have a population which is armed to the teeth and need only a political snafu such as the start of another losing war (oops they already started that) to lead them to an eventual government overthrow and anarchy. As Canadians we can sit back and laugh at the thought of the white house burning the last time we sent our troops down there. (led by an alcoholic may I add). Meanwhile, we still have over 65% of the players in the nhl being from Canada and they are down there raping them for mega US dollars. I can gaurantee that whoever wins the cup the team will be mostly Canadians and maybe a yank or 2. There will also be more europeans then Americans on the winning team. USA USA USA ??? lmao :can::can::can: as for booing the nation anthem, who really cares, are the Americans that insecure. My kids are in elementary school and if other kids laugh at them or boo them etc. I expect them to be the bigger person and walk away, not run to the teachers in a huff. Grow up America

Hey, if they won't play Spezza in the playoffs, I know we have a goalie or 2 to spare in tne minors...lol

We have to win this one along the boards. If we aren't winning in the corners it will be a replay of last game. Ryder is long over due and not because of his play. He will put a few in soon and today would be a great time to start. Ribs has to pick it up a notch and a goal from Sourey would be helpful. I told a buddy of mine that was over for game one that it will take the habs 1 or 2 games to adjust to TB and then we will handle them easily. He disagreed, but being a Philly fan he shows his lack of hockey knowledge. Still say habs in 6 philly in 5 Calgary-Habs final. :ghg::hlogo::/)

Well let's see.... Manager askes coach if goalie can get job done, says yes, team sticks with weak goalie, coach doesn't play Spezza, team takes game 7 in playoffs like a scrimage game, yes coach should be fired. My wifeish is a sens fan and I told her after the 3rd goal in game 7 that Lalime would not be back for the 2nd period, or ever again as a Sen and that Martin was packing his bags. It was a no brainer.

that's 12 more wins before i give the winter beater red sundance a habs striped paint job, much to the chagrin of my senator fan wife-ish, who bless her heart wore a habs jersey and spun a habs towel over her head with me last night, and drive said habs mobile around halifax with my horn blaring. Happy... but as Gainey said, we are here for championships, not just making the playoffs and this was only one step, though a big one towards our goal. Hope the sens kick some ass tonight and the MakeBelieves and their fans go golfing tommorrow. :ghg::ghg::ghg:

Where is Dick Irving when we need him? Personally, I have been watching on RDS because I can't take the bias leaf announcers. I say screw TSN and CBC. Oh, and I can't speak French. :ghg:

Lose to Toronto ??? Never happen so don't worry.:/) By the way, that's 2 str8 for NYI over TB. Bet they aren't feeling to good in Tampa about the prospect of facing the Isles in the 1st round.

I really want the honor of "upsetting" the Leafs in the 1st round. What could be better? It would silence a bunch of idiots on this coast. Have to say though that being out and around in Halifax now-a-days you sure notice the Habs supporters. Makes me warm inside. :ghg:

To hell with 6th, `look again, 5th "could" happen. Sens aren't playing thier best and toronto "shouldn't" start Belfour in all the games down the stretch. Damn this is good. And yes I know they have games at hand but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :ghg:

Talk about a town that is up on themselves. 1st though whoever called Ottawa TO the biggest hockey rivalry in NA should be laughed out of public speaking. Lets see TO Mon TO Det Mon Bos Cal Edm Just for a start. Yes they are a newer team, but come on... Oh and without a goalie, just another 1st round "upset".

I like these lines except for Ryder not seeing enough ice time on the 3rd line. This is probably speculation from the Montreal media (nothing new). They go to a practice, see the lines Jullien is working and take it from there. It isn't always the same lines come game time. As a coach you have to try lines in practice to see how they play together. You may see these lines in the game, but I expect the lines to be the same lines as in the Leafs game. No doubt he would like Dag back with ribs, but ryder is doing so well how could you take ice time from him? If anything look for Perrault to move off the 1st to 3rd, Kov to 1st, Dag back on 2nd, but not yet, I'd give it awhile. :ghg:

Who ever called Melrose an expert?
