Glad Halpy didn't get his head knocked off.

No Brobin I was not aiming that post at you. I will say this though. Being positive and being wrong at worst is being naive. Being negative and wrong is being an ass. There are many miles to go in this game and after the season we've had anyone who knows the Habs should know that they are full of surprises. That's funny. Me being excited about the Habs tying is lame. Nice.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What was that about the night being over?

Really though. 2-1 after the first period and 6-10 posts calling it a night for Montreal. Have a little faith. Montreal will win.

I wasn't aware that game 7's were only 20 minutes long. Have fun watching the Tampa game Habber.

Weber!!!!!! Yeah, this game is over....Bah!

Here's the headline tomorrow morning: Bruins blow 2 goal lead. Montreal wins.

This is far from over. Give the guys more credit than that.

Booo We'll get that one back.

I suspect Gomez is not much of a reader, probably more of a books on tape kinda guy. He probably spent many rainy Sunday afternoons on the couch soaking up ' The Art of Scoring the biggest contract of your life ' as read by ilya Kovalchuk.

Many of you may not know this but Sun Tzu the great Chinese military general and philosopher was a Montreal Canadiens fan. Which is funny cause I woulda pegged him as a Canucks fan geographically. When asked if the Habs would take game 7, he had this to say: Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory. Later when asked how the Habs would dispatch their age old foes he added: "The opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself." It's a little hard to decipher but I think he's talking about the dismal Boston power play here. Wow, hockey analysis from 481 BC was much more insightful than the crap we get nowadays.

Being mildly superstitious I'm going to re post this with a slight modification at the end: Montreal will win. Not maybe, could or might. Will. No " the smart money's" or " Just to be fair's " I will say this again...Montreal will win. Anyone who posts to the contrary before the final buzzer will be held personally responsible for a loss, should it happen. But it won't. Round 2 is but a few days away.

Hear Hear Cucs!!! The Boston tears will flow tonight once they realize they are out of the playoffs. No better place for Boston to lose than in the Garden. Go Habs Go!!! P.S. Who's doing the honors with the game thread? Soops, beginners luck seemed to work out well. I need a place to wax poetic about another Montreal victory.

I would also be VERY surprised if there was a suspension, especially on the door step of game 7.

It was a quick whistle away from being 3-1. 2-1 is nothing to sneeze at, most of these games have been one goal games. The Habs certainly weren't pushing offense in the 3rd but they did a good enough job of collapsing + the ever present luck factor - as evidenced by the final score. Searching for more goals and being lax on defense is what got us into trouble in game 4 so I can understand the decision to try and hold the lead through the latter half of the 3rd. It worked for games one and two. We won. There is going to be a game 7. It's been an exciting night.

Nice 3 stars article D. I don't think anyone could argue with Gionta being on the list. Maybe bump him up to second. Had the " no goal " counted he would have banked 2 on the night. Either way, happy we're going to 7.

As it should be Joe. I can't imagine how frustrating it might be to be at work instead of on the couch.

This was huge. Tomorrow will be amazing no doubt. No Wiz No Des No Markov No Georges No Patches Got to the playoffs. Ended a 3 game slide and headed to game 7.

Welcome to game 7 gentlemen.

Nice, MTL back on the PP

Sure he could. When was the last time you saw a hooker with goalie pads? Probably the only goal he would ever get though.

He has been shakey at times, but great at others.

Apparently neither can Marchand...

Soooooo many penalties. I'll be curious to see the numbers after the game.

Nice PK boys Price...please don't leave the net like that.
