brboo Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 The first goal tonight will be HUGE. Let's give Price a chance to play with the lead instead of falling behind 2-0 again. GO HABS GO. Quote
brobin Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 The offense has got to show up tonight, and early. They need to go hard to the net and the PP has to get moving. Halak certainly played well enough in the last game to give the team a win if they had the rest of their game going. As long a Price holds them in their this time, it will be up to the top guys on this team to either show up, or dust off the golf clubs. Quote
brboo Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Man, this has been a strange series. I have honestly felt we deserved to win every game this round. Quote
TheDriveFor25 Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Any ideas if there will be lineup changes? GO HABS GO GO HABS GO Quote
BTH Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Not too worried about this game or series yet. We have been the better team, we just need to score on empty nets... Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Begin made a dumb play to end the last game. Kovalev made a dumb play in 2004 against the Bruins. We can come back. Quote
Fat Tony Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 I still have confidence we can take this in 7. Price is not the big worry just as Halak wasn't...to me the problem is the Habs are not driving the net and getting in front of Biron. Any NHL goalie will stop 99% + of shots he can see un harassed. The boys need to get in his kitchen and make him work to find the puck...if they don't do that, I don't care if they get 75 shots they'll be polishing the Taylor Made's tomorrow. It comes down to are the boys willing to do what's needed to win in the playoffs? They've done it before, so they're capable. GO HABS GO!!! Quote
Habsfan84 Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!!! Our backs are up against the wall and we need that first goal. Quote
kenadian Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Play HARD or GO HOME...................it's that simple Quote
haber Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 As long as we don't go down 2-0, we will win this game. The past few games, we scored our goals seconds apart. So if we can score first, I think the flood gate will open (ie: Biron will come off his hot streak) Go :hlogo: Go Quote

JMMR Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Carbo said he will use mostly 3 lines tonight. Interesting. Quote
sbhatt Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 I'm so nervous I feel like I'm going to throw my dinner up. I'm not ready for this season to be over yet, goddamnit!!! The boys HAVE to score first, so the crowd can get into it and get on Biron. Carbo said he will use mostly 3 lines tonight. Interesting. If Higgins continues to look useless tonight, I hope he finds himself demoted to a lesser line. Guy has been patient with him, but he can't continue to stink it up getting first line minutes. Quote

Helmethead Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 :zzz: Just woke up from my power nap. To anyone who says we've been playing great so far this series but have been unlucky, get real! We've sucked. These are lame excuses to make us all feel better. Bottom line is if we were better, we'd be winning. On that note, I think Philly is about to get a really rude awakening tonite. This series is far from over and something tells me that Carey just came out of his coma. Ahhhh, f#ck the retoric.....JUST WIN BABY!!!!! GO HABS GO :ghg: (Oh, and what the f#ck was Biron thinking anyway?? He plain shot himself in the foot with all that talk of supporting the Nordiques in his childhood. He might have just given a reason to the Ghosts to move the Bell Centre for once and for all.) Quote
lazy26 Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 This had better not be the last time I get to say this... GO HABS GO!!!! Quote
Dalhabs Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 guess its time to get that 3-4 game winningstreak that I have been waiting for since the end of the season and the boston series. Quote
Athlétique.Canadien Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 RATTLE BIRON HABS. MAKE HIM DOUBT GAME 6 AND WIN THIS ONE. GUT CHECK TIME. GO HABS GO Quote
Fanpuck33 Posted May 3, 2008 Author Posted May 3, 2008 To anyone who says we've been playing great so far this series but have been unlucky, get real! We've sucked. These are lame excuses to make us all feel better. Bottom line is if we were better, we'd be winning. It's also not true that Philadelphia has outplayed Montreal, they haven't. Montreal has dominated much of the play, they just haven't been able to capitalize on their chances, unlike Philly. Philly has done a great job of making Montreal pay for mistakes and have gotten their share of bounces, along with stellar goaltending at times. Montreal hasn't dominated entire games, but they haven't been outplayed either. If Montreal can limit their turnovers, then they really should have no problem winning. Quote
