Around the League 2013-14 Part VIII

[Moses Doughty]

That was in 2009 though. And the Penguins defense had - Eaton, Gill, Goligoski, Gonchar, Orpik, Letang, and Scuderi all playing very stifling defense. Fleury is not a big game goalie and probably won't be again. He is so mentally weak it's terrifying.

Quick is the complete opposite - a big game goalie that is tougher than hell mentally. A lot of changes need to be made in Pittsburgh and it starts with their goalie. He stinks.

Shero and Bylsma have barely changed since the Cup win, so they still believe in Fleury, though I wouldn't put fault on him this series. They could be a team that could look at Stalock out of San Jose maybe and try to pry him out. I see him being a very very good goalie and he has mental toughness

 

[Herby]

Patches!!

Please hold on Habs and KO these goons

 

[kingsfan28]

Gibson would've had that...

 

[ru4reals]

If Iginla was on any other team I would want him to win a cup but since he's with the Bruins I hope he never gets one!

 

[Scottkmlps]

Bruins need the Habs to have a Leafs collapse if they have any chance. Don't see that happening.

 

[TonySCV]

Canadiens have now scored the last seven goals of the series.

Hmmmmm miiiiight just happen. Canadians are gonna give it away I can see it!

 

[DocWest]

They should just make Sidney Crosby the coach and the GM. **** it, have him sell hot dogs too while he is at it. I mean, he is Jesus right?

No. John Gibsonâ„¢ is Jesus.

 

[Scottkmlps]

No. John Gibsonâ„¢ is Jesus.

Now can you imagine Gibson and Crosby on the same team? That's an 98-0-0 season without a doubt for the next 10-15 years.

They will only experience one loss because Lord John Gibsonâ„¢ wants to know what it feels like.

 

[Wildturkey12]

What happened to the other Farmers Only commercials? They have been playing the same dam one every commercial break of the playoffs.

 

[Tadite]

I've got to say I thought the Bruins would just run over the Habs. Bigger, deeper, better defense, and filled with talent. I still think Boston is the only eastern team that can win the cup.

It's been an insane series.

 

[Herby]

Boston is dominating right now, come on hang on Habs 5 more minutes.

 

[Herby]

Boychuk pulls a Clifford. that is a huge play.

As for the Habs-Bruins matchup. The Bruins are bigger and better on the back end but speed and skill is way in favor of the Habs, and that still counts for a lot in the NHL. I thought Montreal was the better team going in, still think it after watching the 7 games. Been a great series though.

 

[Moses Doughty]

Make that 3-1, banks off of a defenseman. Briere stepping up

 

[Herby]

Another goal for a midget, off the skate of a giant no less.

Looks like the midget Habs who weren't real contenders will be playing in the Conf. finals after defeating the Big Bad Bruins aka "The only real team in the East".

The Habs are legit SC contenders, great skill and a great goaltender can take you a long way. Team is loaded with playmakers.

 

[Herby]

That is just so unacceptable for a veteran defenseman like Markov to let that happen, wow.

That's why you play the games. How much nicer would it be to play teams like th rangers or pens?

Match ups matter.

And they would say playing the biggest chokers of the post lockout NHL is nice to. Montreal caught a break in round 1 with the Bishop injury, but they just beat the Presidents Trophy winners pretty solidly. They should have won in 6 but still showed nice heart to come back.

May have a point. I thought of them as to run and gun for the playoffs. Like the Avs but with a better goalie.

Got to pick them over the Rangers.

 

[kovacro]

Price versus King Henrik. Excellent matchup between the pipes. Should be a good series.

 

[deeshamrock]

I've never liked Lucic and it doesn't surprise me...

@DarrenDreger: Weise says Lucic threatened him in the handshake and said something similarly threatening to Emelin. Emotional series ends with tough words.

@DarrenDreger: Dale Weise accuses Lucic of being classless and disrespectful with his comments in the handshake. Won't say what was said.

Yeah, he's a POS. Like most on the Bruins. So happy to see them lose.

The Habs deserved it, they were the better team. Price and Subban were beastly. And the Bruins seem to read too much of their own press and the media fawning on them. They didn't seem to want it bad enough.
