Around the League Part X | Playoffs Edition

[Proust*]

Habs are garbage. Boston isn't doing a good job stuffing Montreal's midget heads back down into their turtle-necks.

Also, why are people following Via Rail on Twitter? That is downright disturbing. It's also disturbing that Via Rail has trains and infastructure from the Mesozoic era, and yet are somehow on Twitter.

Apparently being the self-appointed 'Canada's Team' means they own all of the Canadian teams' boards. Or, at least, that's what it feels like sometimes. It's a shame. They have a couple likable kids on the roster, but their fanbase are such arrogant *****, there's no way any decent human being can root for that team.

Its one thing to not like the team. Its a whole other thing to dehumanize other people.... specially over a sports team. Im sure you're a real nice guy off the internet, but I think HF has gone to your head. You've lost perspective.

Hope you have a good day today

Found this elsewhere... apparently last night was not the first time that Subban's cut the corners too close...

Grats on the promotion.

I like how one person blasted them: "Instead of updating us on the Habs game, why don't you idiots fix the rail lights in Barrhaven before you kill someone."

Ohh Therrien

He calls out the refs and still get calls in his favor is what amaze me the most. I think the Habs could have had 5 penalties in the last 2 minutes last night... Maybe it was just the fact that that refs put their whistle away at the end of the game, but don't the Habs get late PPs in many games, even in playoffs? That's a problem I have with NHL reffing, they don't seem to all work on the same basis

Wow.... I went and checked it out, wtf?

Horrible tweets. Those pictures.. I don't even know what to say.

I'm curious... What was it?

I'm no Hab fan, but I'm happily watching them win so that all of you swinging off the Boston sac will finally understand that there are many ways to build a winning team and perhaps be a little more patient with our rebuild.

Boston is one of several good teams, and currently are being taught a lesson by a team we ran roughshod over last year.

Perhaps we're not quite as bad, or as far off track as many initially thought.

Sens have easily handled the Habs for a few years now... Even the games the Habs won (Subban OT goal : weak goal on Andy and isn't the game Price was amazing and Sens hit like 6 posts?, 4-1 lead collapse : refs handed them the game on a silver platter, should have stop at 4-3 if the refs simply call the trip on Greening, 7-4 loss : score could have been really different if the tying goal wasn't disallowed, etc)

Sucks to watch the Habs thinking the Sens could do just as good. But we don't have Price, puck luck, experience and refs on our side so that wouldn't happen anyway

Its one thing to not like the team. Its a whole other thing to dehumanize other people.... specially over a sports team. Im sure you're a real nice guy off the internet, but I think HF has gone to your head. You've lost perspective.

Hope you have a good day today

Put a lot of energy trying to sensibilize HF Habs fans and you won't have to read that kind of comment anymore. Good luck though

Support the Habs, whatever, fine. But what the hell is this ****?

 

[Teufelsdreck]

Hmm I think Boston will have a tough time winning this series. They can hardly hit the net or connect passes in the offensive zone. Montreal D has been good for the most part.

Boston is no doubt the best team in the East. They dispensed with Detroit quite easily and they's still the favorite to get to the SCF. At least Montreal is making it interesting. They've scored 3 or 4 goals against the likely Vezina winner three games in a row and taken away home ice advantage.

And as we know from NHL playoff history, the best team always wins . . . Oh wait a second. Unless the B's win tomorrow night that series is over.

 

[HavlatMach9]

I saw this on the Leafs forum: Leafs prospects look grim

I'd have thought the same thing for the Sens until Lazar and Ceci started establishing themselves as great prospects.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

No. It's not. Montreal had a 3-1 lead over the B's not that long ago. And proceeded to choke it away and watch the B's win it at home in Game 7.

Montreal might think they're on cloud nine and no one can stop them, but if there's a team that can humiliate you in defeat, it's the B's. Or did Hab fans already forget Game 2?

 

[Do Make Say Think]

The 2011 series between Montreal and Boston never was 3-1

Montreal won the first two in Boston and the Bruins responded in kind

Boston won the next game, Montreal won game 6 and Boston won game 7

You are correct. I get that and the time Boston came back from 3-1 only to lose Game 7 confused.

 

[HavlatMach9]

Chances are good that the Rangers will score at least one goal tonight, but will they?

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I don't care about that series

The Rangers are so ******* boring it makes no sense

How does a team with so much talent put me to sleep?!

 

[Baby Ryan]

Gotta give the Scabs credit for ridiculous goal tending and for being extremely opportunistic.

However, fact is Boston has out played the majority of the games, despite not even playing up to their usual level. They aren't as physical as they usually are, Krejci line is flopping, yet they maintain most of the play, but fail to convert their abundance of chances.

I watched nearly all of the games until the end, and I'm pretty sure the majority of the games were spent in the Scabs end with Price making saves.

Boston isn't playing to the level they can play, but giving Montreal some credit, their goal tending is near flawless and ability to convert the few chances they get into goals is also golden.

It is irritating, seeing them hemmed into their zones most of the duration of the games, yet come out winning, but again they converted their chances, and Boston didn't when they could have.

 

[HavlatMach9]

what talent? old MSL is their most talented player, then a drop off to Nash, then a massive one to the rest of the players.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Brad Richards, Martin St-Louis, Rick Nash are all top talents

The rest of the team isn't half bad with Stepan, Hagelin, Brassard etc...

They have some solid forwards

I think the problem is that there D isn't very mobile or great at moving the puck

Too many years of Tortorella.

 

[HavlatMach9]

what a goal by Malkin.

 

[Caeldan]

what a goal by Malkin.

I thought it was more a poor save by Lundqvist...
But dang the game sounds boring to start -- mostly just keeping it in the background at work.

 

[Senscore]

Congrats to the Rangers for scoring a goal.

So. Much. Butthurt.

Boston isn't playing "their game" because the Habs are doing the right things. No luck was involved in their win last night. Simple as that.

[Ouroboros]

That Rick Nash guy - not very good.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Nash not helping his rep with a bad turnover that leads to a goal against on the PP.
