BrenDittero Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Hope the Habs keep up the great defensive play and get another early lead. If we can notch a second win tonight, reenforcing doubt in the Bruins fragile meathead psyche, it'll be a fun return to the Bell Centre Monday. And while it would be an incredible long shot, the ultimate irony would be a Habs sweep in 4. 3-1 Habs No need to say anything Joe. Dancing banana says it all.

Mitch Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Da Habs I just can not believe how this team manages to pull on my heart strings. Da Habs We need to steal this second game... and nothing would be better than Eller and Pouliot pulling their proverbial heads out of their own @$$es by playing some desperate 'ockey. GOOOOOOOOOO! Da Habs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I expect Boston to come out hitting and banging like crazy. I hope that we can stand that initial barrage and that we don't get sucked into that type of game. If we can continue to play JM's system we should do well again.

TheDriveFor25 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I think what I want to see early is Ryan White fight somebody. Just to send the message that we're not going to be messed with. And if the Habs could score first... big game from the Eller line... C"MON!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the Habs could score first... big game from the Eller line... C"MON!!!! No way. That could just play into the Broon's game plan. What I want to see early is one Montreal goal followed by another one....followed by the team continuing to frustrate their opponents. Your other two ideas I completely agree with .

dlbalr Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Chara questionable after being hospitalized last night due to dehydration.

He plans to try to play but I'd suspect a lot would have to do with if he's feeling better between now and game time. Wow, Plekanec did exhausted him finally at the end of the 3rd in that wrestling match! Plekanec seemed like the victim on the ice, but he was the one causing Chara to wrestle, bent in half, and losing all his energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 It's pretty simpel for me. Survive the first 10 minutes Score first 3 penalties or less out work the Bruins score 3 goals That will take care of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 This game is huge. Game One is always the least important (although the Habs really got as much out of a Game One win as you possibly can, sending the entire city of Boston scurrying for anti-depressants and clearly exposing the Bruins's limitations). If we win tonight, the series is not "over" but the odds skew just massively in the Habs's favour and the Bruins stand in grave danger of falling apart under the weight of their own neuroses. As others have said, the Bruins understand exactly what is on the line tonight and will bring EVERYTHING they've got. I've been a little nervous, not about the habs, but about what seems to be excessive confidence among Habs fans - it feels like bad karma - but then again this savvy and battle-scarred team doesn't seem to give a sh*t about that stuff. They've got a job to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Kostitsyn not taking the skate; if he can't go, Halpern will play. If Kostitsyn can play, Halpern won't which I must admit annoys me a little given Boston's success in the faceoff dot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOPAVILLIN Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Hope ak46 is ok, and also wanna see halpern in the lineup, but not rushed, either way go Habs go. Edited April 16, 2011 by SOOPAVILLIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hope ak46 is ok, and also wanna see halpern in the lineup, but not rushed, either way go Habs go. Now the report (lots of changing reports today) is that Halpern will not be able to play no matter what. So if Kostitsyn can't go, Weber moves back to the wing where he played the final two games of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Gotta like Cammy interview today (rough translation by myself) : It is really important to stay hydrated between games, I once suffered from dehydration and it was not fun at all. But, as opposed to Mark Recchi, I'm not a doctor so I won't try to diagnose the other team..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad karma is Chara running Patches, not the hopes of an enthusiastic fan base. Even if the Bruins bring EVERYTHING they've got ( funny that they couldn't bring it to an important game 1 ) that's fine, the Habs can deal with it, they know what they need to do. They did it Thursday and I'll bet they can do it again tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForumGhost Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I wasn't on the forums last game, so I'm not sure if anyone here saw it, but weirdly enough none of the commentators remarked on it, but how often do you see Chara get like a b****?

Really, it'd only be an issue if the players themselves were in danger of contracting the same attitude, which I doubt is true of this veteran bunch.
