Toronthab Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I was pretty sure the 6 of them were going to tie it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronthab Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 How does Campbell feel failing to stop a shot from a guy just barely who's just barely recovered his kneeling position and sliding past?/???? My favorite goal. Dad was right. Its important to have goals in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I saw Byron get tripped I assumed he would score. However, I figured he would shuffle board the puck through the goalies 5 hole. Surprisingly, he actually got off a really good shot.

Anderson and Taffoli were both great tonight. Anderson could have had a couple of goals. Perry’s crease front presence is something we’ve lacked I think since Leclair in 93. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a beautiful goal. Horrible play by Sandin and an incredible play by Byron while falling to get it up and in. But I’m a no tattoo guy.😁 I still think we need to find a way to get Caufield in. Our PP was shit and without an improvement it’s eventually going to bite us in the ass. But I’ll take the win with the shit PP for the night! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible and unfortunate and usually we are the ones losing a major star with those type of plays - Zednik almost had his head taken off by an actual dirty play by the Bruins. Koivu almost blinded by the Canes who were down 2-0 amd with Koivu out we lose the series. At beat if it an extremely careless stick infraction that should have been a suspendable play. Price lost in the semifinals by a cheap shot by Kreider. I think we need to take advantage of not having to worry about two dominant Leaf lines and get Caufield in to see if he can give the pp a boast.

You have a good memory, it's usually been the Habs on the receiving end of those "unfortunate" injuries. I remember the Zednik one now, that was a brutal stiff arm from McLaren. I hope Tavares is OK, hate to see that happen. Really unfortunate, hate to see that happen to anybody especially a class act like Tavares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 We need to keep hitting like the first period. It was having a clear impact. Fix the PP and we are doing good We need a big game in #2 from everyone again including mr Price. Go Habs Go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to take advantage of not having to worry about two dominant Leaf lines and get Caufield in to see if he can give the pp a boast. The list of catastrophic injuries to Habs’ key Habs players can be easily expanded. Markov lost two years including the crucial 2009 playoff to a huge knee injury. Patches was deliberately taken out by Chara just in time for a 7-game OT series against the Habs. We were robbed of a real chance to reach the Finals by Kreider, and our 2016 was ruined because of Price’s losing the entire season. Apart from the blinding of Koivu, he was also permanently crippled by the catastrophic knee injury in 1996, never the same again. Don’t forget Donald Audette, a first-line FW whose arm was severed in the playoffs after a handful of games for us. The Tavares injury was horrible and I wouldn’t wish it on any player. But if we’re talking about crucial injuries to indispensable players, the Habs have had a chronic and disastrous time of it this century.

"good".. we have a better chance to win! How low would I go? Hope for no Mathews? No Marner? Why not just mail the cup to someone at the end of the year?? Weird eh?

My first thought was of shock at what I had just seen and concern for his safety. Once I saw the thumb go up, my thought became, man I hope he is OK and I am concerned, but if he is OK, their top 6 just got weaker. There was definitely some internal conflict for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eternal conflict between conscience and other instincts. But is is a little discomfiting to see it alive and well in ourselves. I of course like to think I'm a fine upstanding renaissance plus man with a great slapshot. ..And then theres...me... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
