Athlétique.Canadien Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Time to take a mile wide gulp! Is there a doctor in the house? Now the true grade of what Gainey has built can be evaluated. It all depends on which story unfolds. Hockey's a b/tch Hopefully the Hockey Gods smile on us tonight. The biggest thing I'm looking for is the Canadiens playing well without the puck, positionally frustrating Washington. That is key. We'll have a much better idea of this series after the 1st. Let the Habs stars align in the sky tonight. :hlogo: Quote
brobin Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Sigh.. we can't take those penalties all night.. but at least Halak is not going to be "cold" like in the leaf game.. he should be seeing lots of rubber tonight. lol, gionta wins the physical battle with Ovie... I love Gionta.. all compete in that guy. Quote
brobin Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Let me just say, for all the complaining about MAB and Gill, it will be Hammer and Spacek that drive us nuts and end up killing us in this series. Quote
tomh009 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 .. but at least Halak is not going to be "cold" like in the leaf game.. he should be seeing lots of rubber tonight. Definitely true ... shots were 7-0 Caps before our PP. Quote
brobin Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 shots 11 - 3.. I think its safe to say that Halak is holding us in... at some point, our guys have to start shooting. It doesn't really matter how Theo plays if we don't test him. awesome PP.. MAB, Markov, Cammy.. all good work... Let's hope they don't try to sit on this lead. Quote
Toronthab Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 You know I kinda like it when WE get the first! I was hoping to see him start to put them in from that position. He's been deadly there. Quote
kenadian Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Guess Cammy was saving them (scoring) for the playoffs............. Benny to the box............................... Quote
brobin Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 how did we charge from 6 inches away.. lol.. hit from behind maybe.. but a charge? Quote
Habsfan Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 how did we charge from 6 inches away.. lol.. hit from behind maybe.. but a charge? Pouliot jumped to hit the washington player..that's why he was called for charging! I gotta say that i'm pleasantly surprised to see us with the leed!! Quote
brobin Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Nice work by Spacek.. give away then screen. Quote
Habsfan Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I spoke too soon! Spacek fvc.ked up with the puck again! Quote
brobin Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 They are playing all back, hoping to win on the PP.. you can't sit back against these guys.. you have to spend some time in there zone.. 17 shots already! Quote
MFT77 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Got the lead, but the Habs D looks terrible on the ice. Quote
Toronthab Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 What I'm finding is that we aren't doing anything with the puck even when we get it with some time. It might just be nerves but the guys are giving it right back as soon as they touch it. However 1-1 is ok Quote
MFT77 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Ya, lotsa turnovers and getting bumped off the puck too easily. Quote
Quebecois Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Too sloppy in our own zone but really not that bad of a period. The 1st was always going to be the challenging one, let's get it going in the 2nd! ! Quote
sakiqc Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Last thing Habs need to do is give the puck to the Caps! Ouch! Bravo Halak! Only reason we're still in the game Quote
TheDriveFor25 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 1-1... Withstand the early fury and then tighten it up. We'll be fine! C'mon boys.. get it going! S.Kost and MaxLap... lets go!!!!!!! Quote
Sir_Boagalott Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) Cammy scoring was huge. The Habs know they need Cammy producing to go any where. Nothing better for him to have got out off his slump right now. Shocked nobody has mentioned the elbow on Spacek. I thought it was uber dirty. Edited April 16, 2010 by Sir_Boagalott Quote
Toronthab Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Too sloppy in our own zone but really not that bad of a period. The 1st was always going to be the challenging one, let's get it going in the 2nd! ! I think you guys are right; that we'll lose the nerves a little and start to play better. Quote
Doctor Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 boys are playing like they think its the last 5 minutes of the 1st round games in 2002 Quote
Toronthab Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Nice little play by Lappy. We don't look as nervous this period. C'mon Habs!! Quote
