David Desharnais said on RDS they will disturb Lundqvist in Game 2

[Central Scrutinizer]

Hell, I like Talbot vs. Budaj more than Lundqvist vs. Price

But nah, nothing will come of this. I don't see them making dirty plays, just trying to get more in his face. Clear the crease cleanly, get some PPs out of the fuss, win game 2 at the Bell and really get in their heads.

This game could decide the series tbh.

Did you see Prust in the 3rd?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Did you see Prust in the 3rd?

What? Trying to act tough?

 

[Stanley Foobrick]

Did you see Prust in the 3rd?

Yeah, that was kind of embarrassing..... boy he's sure getting under the Rangers skin LOL.

 

[redgrant]

You really don't know how much their fanbase is hated up here. They are NOT Canada's team.

Several years ago Calgary's and Edmonton's runs to the finals had more of a Canada's team vibe.

Yeah except it killed psuedo Montreal hockey royalty to see Flames Oilers in Finals (Something they havent done in the last decade) so naturally they cheered for Tampa and Carolina.

Only people cheering for Habs are old people born 50s/60s when there were no other teams and the French.

I badly want NYR to win and everyone I know here is of the same mindset.

 

[Raspewtin]

Did you see Prust in the 3rd?

Yeah, I saw him slashing away at Kreider, Kreider getting a good laugh from it, then Prust getting a misconduct, which we proceeded to score two goals on for his troubles.

Yeah, I saw .

 

[Clausewitz]

Da hairnet talking like a tough guy. Hope it works out for him. Between this remark and PK's comments after the Bruins series, you get the feeling that Habs players don't handle the media too well.

 

[Wolfy*]

Hell there's almost a war between USA and Canada

Rangers better be prepared, I believe the Habs are planning something against Kreider and Hank tomorrow.

To say the least. Perhaps dressing Carcillo might be a good idea. At this point, though, the question becomes whether we "attack" preemptively or play our game until those punks try something.

 

[n8]

wouldn't threatening another player be akin to Moore/Bertuzzi? I guess there are no rules it but if anything were to actually happen, it begins to sound a lot like premeditated assault and battery. Maybe we should call Desharnais "Tonya Harding"

 

[Xref]

Milbury advocating revenge on Hank during the intermission just now. He mistakenly said Price, but it was clear what he meant. Wonderful.

Maybe Milbury will give the Habs advice on how to pummel Hank with a shoe........

 

[RangerLifer]

If that's how Montreal is approaching the game the Rangers are probably about to go up 2-0.

I was thinking the exact same thing, Doc.

 

[RangerLifer]

[RangerLifer]

Yeah, that was kind of embarrassing..... boy he's sure getting under the Rangers skin LOL.

Maybe if Prust really steps out of line one of our Rangers can fix his underbite for him.

 

[GAGLine]

Somebody warn the Baldwins.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I heard about the brawl, I heard Milbury was in a serious brawl, but never knew they were the exact same incident! And that guy is now on NBC? Wow.

Oh yeah, that's him. Here's a video link for some entertainment. lol.

Prust should put his lipstick on and shut the **** up. That sissy should start playing hockey instead of all this whining. He's worse than Crosby.

 

[TeamStewie]

If Galchenyuk plays tomorrow he will be watching from the press box anyway

 

[DuaneHewitt]

i would think that since the canadiens are the yankees of hockey, anyone who is not a habs fan would probably despise them and want them to lose.

the yankees had mets fans rooting for philly in the world series a few years ago. NY rooting for philadelphia against a new york team. let that sink in.

i'm pretty sure anyone in toronto isn't feeling all warm and fuzzy about the habs being the only canadian team left in the playoffs.

 

[TeamStewie]

I don't know. There are a lot of strange Canadians out there who are rooting for the Habs just because they are the only Canadian team in it. I honestly can't understand it.

It's the "us against them" mentality. Fits nicely with Don Cherry's athletic nationalism.

Uhmmm, I really do, especially since I'm in Ontario. and was a season ticket holder for their (Canadiens) farm team in Hamilton for 6/ 7 years a while back.

As for the Canada's team thing, that's a farce, their is no such thing as Canada's team. It's a saying some people like to use. Are the Dallas Cowboys really America's team? Hardly.

[One Winged Angel]

If pacioretty went into king henrik like Kreider did with Price and got no penalty would no one question whether or not it was intentional? Really??????

He was tripped, watch it again. If you don't think that someone's stick in a skate can't completely knock someone off balance or change their trajectory while going that fast, you've NEVER played hockey before and don't know basic physics.

I hope they do try taking out Lundqvist instead of actually trying to win. Solid strategy.

Me too, I'd love to see smurfette and her band of merry misfits try to make Lundqvist's life hell.

There's a reason this thread got closed so quickly. Everyone except a pretty small bunch of Habs fans says it was a totally accidental play. Even Therrien said it was accidental, so he isn't even trying to for the frequent coaching strategy of complaining about a non-call in order to maybe buy one for later in the series.

The rest of the hockey world is paying this situation very little mind, no reason to keep the story going ourselves.

Therrien said it was accidental, but in the tone of the interview that I just watched on NHL network, he was subtly trying to say that it was intentional. He kept saying that he could have done more to avoid him. How so? He got tripped. Therrien should shut the **** up and be thankful that it wasn't a penalty and that an 8th and largely more embarrassing goal was scored on them.
