yeah I hear you Cukes... It just seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face if we had to sign these kinds of players, rather than skilled professionals on our team// sort of akin to killing your drunken abusive dad to save your mom and sister.... does anyone really win in the end?

This post disgusts me. Going out to injury a player intentionally is so far away from Les Canadiens hockey its not funny. If our team starts signing guys who can 'be relied upon to injure opposing players' we are just compounding the problem. We need to be leaders on this, we shouldn't fight fire with fire. The headshots and injuries will no doubt continue until the NHL old boys are broken up, but in the short term it doesn't help to further promote this kind of play. We are better than this. I wouldn't want to win if we had taken Chara out with a dirty play. Although I was happy to see a more measured response from you later in the thread, and while I do agree with a lot of what your saying, I felt I had to take you to task on this.

Great Season. Great Series. lots to look forward to next season. I actually called Halpern to score but I didn't specify to the hockey gods which net.. my bad..

Halpern scores from Eller would be a nice way to end it I can not imagine a universe where we lose this game. This is our season! The story has just begun!

I knew it! Legend has it that his book was originally titled ' The Art of Score'

Pressure is on the Bruins now. Hopefully they will be squeezing their sticks a little too tightly.. The hockey gods are almost finished exacting revenge for Patches.... Tonight is a defining moment for our team. I believe they will NOT disappoint.

Can't wait for Game 7 and Boston's inevitable choke on home ice.

Brendittero speaks the truth. All we need is a 2 game win streak and we're good. Its great hockey and almost too much to take at times, my heart is beating so fast I almost hyperventilate just watching these games. Don't count us out just yet. The hockey gods work in very mysterious ways...

well I guess you're right, I wasn't counting the one game he'd play before he gets injured again..... touche

Markov will never play a game in a Habs uniform again

Yes and then its straight to adding the velvet lining.... I think Benoit Pouliot is going to go off tonight! can't wait for elastic man to fak some sh!t up!

I have the Beer, Subban Jersey and my facial hair ready for tonights game. There is nothing else I can do...

I want to see Pouliot, Desharnes and Eller on a line again tonight. I will be watching from an airport bar before a trans Atlantic red eye flight. check in security beer Habs win mile high club sleep hello London should be a good night

very well put TorontoHAB the way I see it, Max is but an angel sent to extol the virtues of the great hockey gods or Chara is the Devil Max is Jesus Bettman is Pontius Pilate Maurice Richard is God

David will be around for a while I think. He's savy and had a great work ethic. The only thing stopping him is a stupid injury

I would love a Byfuglien. But lets just get Stamkos instead

I agree. I have watched Auld bobble the puck A LOT whenever he plays. He even gave a rebound directly back to an opposing player last night.... come on dude, you gotta eat that puck.... He just isn't technically clean. its all about fundamentals. Of course we are used to watching Carey... Isn't there a young french goalie that we can get somewhere? what is Paddy Roy's son doing? he can fight for us too!

my gut says this kid is not going to last. mmm how can I put this, just like an

except they are wining now.....

indeed. Just hope its in a HABS uniform....

exactly. Only in my dream scenario we first take down the Flyers to avenge the loss last season. Then Patches comes back in round 2 to help finish what the Bruins started....

I totally hear you, don't get me wrong. I was actually playing devil's advocate with my original post. I feel the same way, it could easily go either way tonight. But today I'm feeling optimistic so I'm choosing to ignore your sober look at reality... Habs win 5-2 Gionta has at least 3 points tonight

So you're saying the Habs will play down to the level of the competition?

This is going to be a walk in the park.
