Shania says the Habs are going to win.

:ghg:

[puck7x]

1 game to decide it all. Game #7 ... The past means nothing right now, the habs/bruins records in 1-3/3-1 series can be thrown out the window, because the series is 3-3 now, tied! All comes down to 1 game...

:ghg:

[Bonavistaman11]

Its all come down to this, Win and we face Tampa, lose and its FOOOOUUURRRR!!!!.........

I've got a real good feeling about this one, the habs have played too good in this series to go out now....

A good start to the game is gonna be the Key!...And Please Jose dont bail out on us now, get your game face on!....

It's gonna be a nail bighter but at least were here!!

:ghg::ghg::ghg:

[rocketrichard]

Shania is hot and the Habs are favoured!!!

GO HABS GO:ghg::hlogo::ghg:

[sakiqc]

It's tough to imagine how we could lose the next game. All our players are focused, none of them is playing with a lack of passion. We have Yanic on "his week", we have a superstar playing like a superstar, a captain playing like a captain... and all that with a goaltender playing better and better. I'm really confident for tonight's game! Nothing can prevent us from winning the series. Nothing except... yes, the refs. Stupid refs.. it's better not be Fraser's turn. Oh.. and i hope it's not McGeough as well. Watson, McCreary (at the limit), Peel.. no problem with that.

I don't have bad feelings, so I'll make a prediction..

3-1 Montreal!

Joe Thornton will score

Michael Ryder will score not 1, but 2 goals !!!

And an Empty-netter for Koivu

a 25 saves win for Theo

:ghg:

[puck7x]

How many hours until the Habs play the Bruins in game-7?

Anyone getting nervous? Me? maybe a bit, but I'm full of confidence, and why shouldnt I be considering the way the habs have outplayed the Bruins in the previous 5 games? If the habs continue this play into game #7 I like our chances, I like them alot. I'd like our chances even more if Mr Ryder managed to find the back of the net, he's been getting a hell of a lot of chances in the series and he must be due for a goal... right?

:hlogo::hlogo::hlogo:

[Ribeiro]

Let's not get over-confident. The odds are against the Habs. They've never come back from a 3-1 and the Bruins have never lost 3-1. So far, the history is correct on the Bruins never losing while ahead after first.

All the Bruins have to do is take it to OT.

Our young group of players can easily get overconfident.

The Bruins have just as much of a chance as the Habs.

Being here in the United Arab Emirates, I have not been able to see any games. I haven't even been able to listen to them live because 7pm EST is 3:00AM over here and I work at 8AM. What I have been doing is listening to the archives at nhl.com, but it has taken tremendous willpower not to peek at the score first.

Habs World has become my favorite place for information and the energy and enthusiam have been phenomenal.

Tonight(this morning) though I am going to stay up even if I am dead tired at work on Tuesday.

For Game 7 sacrifices must be made.

Wow, there are Habs fans all over the world lol..! You're surely coming from Quebec, aren't you?

Thx for the kind word. We'll try to provide a "Goal-by-Goal" news for game 7 (like game 6).

Good luck trying to listen to the game from 3am to 6am hehe.. you probably won't fall asleep.. but perhabs at your work you will

Actually, I'm from Prince Edward Island originally. Unlike most Canadian Expatriates Winter is the time when I really get homesick.

I actually saw a hockey game on Saturday night in Dubai, the remnants of the Russian 72 Summit Series(suplemented by National team, Canada Cup and Moscow Dynamo alumni) were in Dubai playing a friendly match against a local team. I was an amazing feeling to be back in a right especially with the desert right outside. The ice seemed pretty good though. :can::ghg:

Those 3-1 series lead stats mean NOTHING now, because the series is no longer 3-1 Boston, its a 3-3 tie.

Think about it ... through the years how many of those Habs teams that we're trailing in series 3-1 actually made it all the way to game-7? ... Few if any of them did I bet, most of them lost game 5 or 6 ....

See how useless the stats are?

Anyways, those series happened in the past. I say look ahead to the future.... 1 game winner take all, Habs/Bruins game #7 tonight!

:ghg:

[jeppa]

Am I happy or what?!?! I'm finally able to watch a game here in Sweden.. and we get game-7 yes!

They better play amazing tonight! Can't wait any longer.. drop the puck dammit

:ghg:

[Guy10]

Not being shown here in Costa Rica, but I'll be listening and cheering on the Habs to a mighty game 7 victory!!!

:ghg::ghg::clap::ghg::ghg::hlogo::hlogo:

[Leafs Suck]

I am proud of this team, no matter what happens tonight.

They've come along way.

[Fanpuck33_]

I have not been this pumped for a game since '93. So much work to, so little attention span. Work for 5 minutes, think about game 7 for 10. Not very effective, but I can't help it.

:ghg::hlogo::hlogo::hlogo::ghg:

[Leafs Suck]

Most nervous I've been for a game since the Gold Medal game in 2002... And before that, it was Game 2 of the 93 Finals.

[BigRedBob]

Damn I'm nervous... game 7, hockey at it's finest! :hlogo:

[DJ_Laszlo]

Nine hours due....

Man I'm so excited I have difficulties breathing already...(and don't even have astma). I don't even want to think about tonights game...I don't even want to read any pregame comments, forums etc etc....anything that could get my hopes up, just to see the habs lose would be devestating...

Ten minutes into the first period of the last game the university network died :wall::wall: which ment I was unable to listen to the game (I live at campus, which means I'm relying on their network) - I was so frustrated that I was litteraly climbing the walls. Thankfully I had just came home from one of the pubs at the university, and I was somewhat drunk, and tired, so I fell asleep in an hour or so. If I'd been sober I would never be able to fall asleep not knowing the outcome of the game. I didn't find out that the habs had won until next morning thanks to tele-text.

They just got the network problems at my university sorted out this morning. I don't know if I wish for that to happen again tonight - a part of me does because I'm gonna suffer a heartattack tonight for sure.

UNBELIEVEBLE!!! I JUST FOUD OUT THAT CANAL+ IN SWEDEN ARE BROADCASTING TONIGHTS GAME!!!! Jeppa and ch_nl - don't you feckin' miss out on this one!!

They've shown the whole Sens-Leafs series, but not a single game from this one - a lot of people have been complaining about that - FINALLY they listened to us.

The best thing about it all is that they are broadcasting the game on Canal+ ZAP which means: No lousy swedish commentators who don't know jack shit - the orignal commentators from the network Canal+ is buying this game from will be heard instead. I just hope we don't get any stupid Bruins commentators.

Oh my God.....I'm all shaky....The problem is that I don't know if I have the guts to watch this one.

Of course I'm not going to miss this, as I posted earlier in the thread

GO HABS GO!!!!

[Bonavistaman11]

As I said before, the boys have played to well to lose this series in a one game showdown...For the habs Theo will be at his best, begin will be pounding everyone, Koivu will be as feisty as ever, and kovalev will be the gamebreaker wev'e been waiting for!!!..

As for Boston, all of their heads will definitely be up in this game because they know we have the next Scott Stevens!!! Thornton will cry his way out of the building after this one!!!!!.....

:ghg::ghg::ghg:

[bombTHEice]

Amazing ... I'll also see Game 7 live on TV. That's absolutely great, though I'll have to get up at 5 in the morning and the game will start at 1 in the morning.

I say 3-0 HABS.
