I'm not a big emoticon fan but the banana is pretty great. Don't see it in pulldown list anymore though. This one works in a pinch.

That would be the smart move but I think that Boston are of the opinion that they played well but didn't get lucky. I think they'll focus on their turnover problem and lack of Chara last night. They'll probably come to the conclusion that they weren't playing physical enough and look for answers in the wrong places. Just guessing here, but I don't think the Bruins will realize they got out played and out coached.

I like BTH's post because what I take away from it is that trying to predict who will win a series is like trying to predict a coin toss. Yet analysts will make their case as though they have inside knowledge and insight that no one else possesses. They're guessing just as much as anyone else, and it really puts the whole profession into perspective.

I like the tact that the Habs themselves are taking with regards to this series. One game at a time, let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. 2 wins is not 4. Don't get me wrong I'm really excited and confident in our team but as we all know " on any night, anything can happen " Lets win round 1 and go from there. It's been an outstanding 2 games though. Defiantly worth a dancing banana, which doesn't seem to be working right now.

The series isn't won yet but I fully expect that the Habs will take it, be it in 4,5,or 6 games. I'm not so concerned about round 2 yet, just enjoying the 2 game lead against a team that was 'supposed to' sweep in 4. If / when we make it to round 2, I think this series against Boston will be a huge building block moving forward and I have a lot of confidence in our guys. Can't wait for Monday nights game in MTL. The confidence in the Boston locker room must be steadily eroding, now the Habs have 2 games with the home town crowd to further energize them.

Darche!!!!! What a first couple minutes

Cammy!!!!!!!!!!!! Buhahahahaha!

No Chara, that'll make a good excuse. I can't believe Chara got dehydrated...I thought be was at least half camel.

By god! It's the the Rosetta Stone of hockey analysis. Not since Indy's discovery of the Holy Grail have I been so elated. Good work BTH.

Hahaha. Thanks for that Brobin. Can't wait to hear the laundry list of excuses for a Bruins loss post game. If the Bruins do choke, I'll have a fun day tomorrow reading the Bruins message boards.

You're nervous that Habs fans are feeling confident that their team will win? What are they supposed to be feeling? Bad karma is Chara running Patches, not the hopes of an enthusiastic fan base. Even if the Bruins bring EVERYTHING they've got ( funny that they couldn't bring it to an important game 1 ) that's fine, the Habs can deal with it, they know what they need to do. They did it Thursday and I'll bet they can do it again tonight.

Hope the Habs keep up the great defensive play and get another early lead. If we can notch a second win tonight, reenforcing doubt in the Bruins fragile meathead psyche, it'll be a fun return to the Bell Centre Monday. And while it would be an incredible long shot, the ultimate irony would be a Habs sweep in 4. 3-1 Habs No need to say anything Joe. Dancing banana says it all.

For anyone curious, this is the clip they were talking about on NESN: Not sure the little kid even noticed what was going on behind him.

I like that a ridiculous "news" item like this isn't put on the main site. It's a fun and interesting addition to a thread though. Stay classy Habsworld.

Boston's really taking that one loss hard. They are aware that it takes 4 wins to eliminate a team from the playoffs right?

I'm really starting to enjoy reading these Boston call outs after they lose and before big games. The comments section below that article and in the linking pages are gold. Your team is full of divers...well your team is full of goons. Hahahaha. I love this time of year.

Bump. A lot of good things happened last night for a team that people were losing confidence in 3 weeks ago. We're only one game in so it's nothing to take for granted but the Habs played great defensively and Price was outstanding. Even Gomer's getting in on the action. Hope we can keep it up Saturday and get back to the Bell Centre with another win.

I thought that Pleks grabbing Chara's leg was an interesting hockey play. Seriously though, it seems that frustration is an easily exploitable trait in the Bruins that the Habs would do well keep picking away at.

It had to be intensely frustrating for the Bruins. Game 1 at home, loads of good chances, but nothing. We'll see how soft they are Saturday.

I love hearing the comments about the Bruins fans leaving the TD garden after the second goal. Bruins fans got a little taste of humility tonight. Though it may be unfounded as there are many games to go, I think Montreal successfully planted the seed of doubt. The beginnings anyway. Saturday night's gonna be great.

And that's that. So much for the Boston sweep. Winning in Boston was huge tonight. Hope the boys can keep it up.

Gio again!!!!! Nice passes from Gomez tonight hahaha. How do you like that penalty Chara?

Cherry just praised Price and his speaking positively about MTL using their speed. It's all thumbs up Montreal talk so far. Bizarro Cherry. But he can't pronounce Luongo.

He blocked a Chara shot and took the hit just above his skate. Left the bench and hasn't been back yet. No updates as of right now.

Nice...Montreal PP. Hope we capitalize on this next 2 mins. Here comes PP round 2
