The first goal is crucial again tonight. I hope to see more of the aggressive forecheck that we saw in the 3rd in Game 6.

GO HABS GO!!!!!

Damn, I'm nervous already.

[SOOPAVILLIN]

Go Habs Go :hlogo:

Unfortunately, Jacques Martin said after the morning training that Andrei Markov wasn't ready

Joy. The "diving" refs.

[BCHabnut]

Go Habs Go

I heard Laps was practicing his belly flops and high board dives in a local Pittsburgh pool.

I can't believe we have to think whether or not the refs will conspire against the habs ... this is insane

I wonder if Betty uses much lube with them.

No matter what happens tonight, it's been a good story. Now... why not make it more than just a story ?...

[bar]

This will be more than a story...this will be a Tolkeinesque epic! After tonight, book 2 will be done, we'll be 1/2 way to the ring of power! (Ha geeky...I know, can't even think straight at work, so pumped).

[JoeLassister]

We are, ya I said it, We are

This is Habs Nation, pledge your allegiance

Get y'all Habs tees on, all Habs everything

Habs cards, Habs cars, all Habs everything

Hockey’s a game but it’s not fair

Refs break the rules, so ? I don’t care

So Lapierre keeps doing his own thing

Walking tall against the rain

Victory’s within the mile

Almost there, don’t give up now

Only thing that’s on my mind

Is who gon’ run this town tonight

[Habsfan84]

game 7! One of the most exciting times in sports. Winner take all. Habs need to come out flying and play great defensive hockey. Halak will have to be a wall tonight!!!!!

Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe if enough people pledge this, Bettman will let the Habs win

[PMAC]

I can't wait. It is 12:37 am here in Qatar and the game starts at 2:00am. Work is really going to suck tomorrow, but I don't care

:hlogo: :hlogo: :hlogo:

GO HABS GO!!! :hlogo:

HAHA yeah well. Itll cost me 350$ with shipping and stuff from NHL.com shop. I want my name on it and cant seem to find a european webshop for it

:hlogo: :hlogo: :hlogo:

hahaha , enjoy the night!

However I have the presentiment that this is going to go to OT... hopeful you don't drop dead asleep before the end

[Athlétique.Canadien]

All hail Hockey Gods Lester Patrick and Syl Apps - Greats they are in the Hall of the Hockey Gods

[JCPetit]

I hope Gill will be back tonight. If so, I guess that Darche will sit out and MAB will play on the 4th line. I think our defense would be much stronger with the following pairs:

Gill-Gorges

Spacek-Subban

Hamrlik-O'Byrne

Go! Habs Go!

Two hours behind you -- it's now 11:36 PM in London, and it's almost game time. We'll see if the adrenaline can keep me awake ...

[Prime Minister Koivu]

I feel good.

We got in to the playoffs by loosing to the second worst team in the NHL in OT. My thoughts and hopes for this team were really low by the mid point of the season. We would win a few then loose a few. I expected disaster against Washington.

Players have obviously bought in to the system and are giving their all.

I have expected nothing and look where we are.

I am still in shock. Is this the magic run of 93? Are we witnessing the recreation of the incredible performance of Roy in 86 (the greatest goalie performance of all time)?

I don't know what to say. I feel pretty good.

[Helmethead]

hahaha , enjoy the night!

It's 1:30am here and under no circumstance am I gonna stay up to watch the game. I consider it bad karma if I do watch the game as my record watching them live is dismal.

The excitement and anxiety I feel waking up in the morning and logging on to TSN to see the outcome is enough to drive me insane. What I fret is waking up, logging on only to notice the game is still in OT. Might have to call in sick if that happens.

Good luck boys! You've made us proud regardless...Impossible is Nothing!
