hab29RETIRED Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 This may not be popular, but as much as I hate the bruins I have go say they have earned my respect, this is great HOCKEY. They will never earn my respect. I despised the Nordiques i the 80's - especially when Stasny and Hunter were killing them. But I absolutely HATE the Bruins. They are the first time, where I wish, hope that their top players get serious career threatening injuries. I hated them when they took out Zednik. The there was all the anti-Subban crap by the bruins and the ex-bruins calling the habs cochroaches. What finally sealed it for me was the Chara hit on MaxPac, I hope that karma comes back to knock out a top bruin like Bergeron, or a potential future star like Seguin. man talk about crappy ice - can't believe how much water is on the ice!!

Wamsley01 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Once again, the Bruins with the fortune on their side. Both goals just land right on a Bruins stick. Edited April 24, 2011 by Wamsley01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrenDittero Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 We'll tie this up back in MTL Tuesday. We have to. It was a good hard fought ending to the game. Too bad it didn't work out for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great save, that was your typical Thomas game. Three times out of he net, Ryder glove save, Chara skate and Chara leg.

brobin Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Well, the Bruins are roaring back. Two overtime wins are killer. Anyone else notice the brutal hold by Chara 20 seconds before that goal. The Bruins ability to win the battles in front of the net has been the difference. Our guys are getting banged up, the Bruins are hitting their stride. It could have gone either way, but three straight losses doesn't bode well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Price wasn't one of the official 3 stars in this one, that's a bit of a shocker. Suffice it to say, he won't be forgotten in HW's 3 Stars which I'm writing up...despite the fact I'm generally in bed most nights by now.

At least CBC did, but i wouldn't expect an organization that has zero class to acknowledge the game Price played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan84 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I dont think Price looked good on the ot goal. He should not have given up a rebound on that play. Oh well we'll see what happens in Montreal but i'm not very optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well we'll see what happens in Montreal but i'm not very optimistic. I think we're done. Its rare you give up a 2-0 series lead, go down 3-2 and come back to win. The second half collapse in Game 4 pretty much was a wasted oppertunity for the habs. But you can't put this on Price. If anything it was lousy coverage by Hammer.

The second half collapse in Game 4 pretty much was a wasted oppertunity for the habs. But you can't put this on Price. If anything it was lousy coverage by Hammer. Thomas had 3 separate plays where he was in no man's land and his D picked up the coverage. Price made the save and Hammer didn't control his man. The first save is on Price, the D needs to clear the rebound. Habs came back from 3-1 and 3-2 last season. Bruins choked a 3-0 lead, Canucks are playing a game 6 we never expected, the Bolts just destroyed the Pens to force game 6. The new NHL is so tight that things that used to be rare are becoming common place now. Edited April 24, 2011 by Wamsley01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) I think the defensive zone coverage is a perfect case for not bringing back the old farts on D. Hammer, Sopel and we really got to find a way to dump Spacek. I know a lot of people want Gill back as well. But I'd dump all 4 of these guys along with Mara. Bring back Markov, Wiz and Gorges to play with Subban. Gill has served his purpose, but if this is team is going to be successful, they need a defense that can help the transition game, instead of the slow, old D that has trouble getting out of their own end. Bring one solid PHYSICAL Dman who can clear the net and let Weber and another young player fight it out for the 6th spot. I don't have much hope for game 6, but can JM finally DUMP Gomez from the 2nd line!!! Edited April 24, 2011 by hab29RETIRED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3 is too much for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3 is too much for him. Not if he is going to want anything over $2.5M. And even then, I wouldn't want him because we already are stuck with Spacek's $3.5M unless we can find a GM dumb enough to take him off our hands, or find a way to creatively get rid of him (i.e. give up a 3rd rounder and Spacek for someone's 5th or 6th pick), just to get his cap hit off the books. If I was a GM, I wouldn't even pay Spacek the league minimum next year!! I'd much rather have the habs get rid of the old goats and spend the money on the habs other UFA dmen (markov, Gorges, WIz) and then try to get a guy like Bieksa who is physical and a puck moving Dman to boot.

Yes, we had some good chances where Thomas was lucky. But for the most part, the bruins outchanced us. Price had to make a lot more big saves the Thomas and the biggest issue, is that our guys really didn't make life difficult for the bruins D, the way they did in the first 2 games, the third period of game 3 and the first half of game 4. I think they are probably going to deflated after blowing a 2-0 lead and then dropping two games at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not talking about free agents until the Habs are eliminated. This team was right there tonight and the Bruins are fortunate to be up. This isn't team flaws, it is a pick em series and the Bruins have 2OT wins so far. Why get negative? If everybody wants to feel like an ass, go back and read the archives for Washington Game 4 and Pittsburgh Game 5. You will see the same negativity, Jesus, go back 2 periods and you will get the idea. I just didn't see enough from the team i this game. We were lucky to tie it.

Habsy Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) I think I read somewhere that Carey is 0-7 in his last 7 playoff starts at home. Time for him to get a win at the Bell Center. Edited April 24, 2011 by Habsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
