GDT: ECF Game 2 New York Rangers vs Montreal Canadiens 5/19/14 8:00pm EST Part 2

[Whitesnake]

Bournival out? Yep....we don't need his speed....how stupid is that.

 

[Camio]

We have a serious chance for a part III...
Go Habs go.

To put some fuel on the fire:
When your goalie is the target of the other team... Therrien may give a go ahead on Lundqvist...

Didnt know Laraque could write.

For him to remember something that happened more than 10 minutes ago, thats also a surprise.

 

[zx81]

And what I hate about that is because you never know when you will be back. And the Cup Finals were on hand. And most importantly, are we going to use that excuse to stay put in our lineup?

There's no guarantee the Habs will be back to this point next year, the year after or the year after after.

As for the sense of emergency, it was gonna be there in game 2 Price or no Price. Game 1 had more to do with beating the Goons than anything else.

I understand that but I was talking about how games may be a lot less stressful now that we're basically almost heartbroken already

Anyway, let's just hope Tokarski is our new Halak.

 

[Nedved]

habs need to score first.

we play awesome with the lead, if we get the first one the habs will win..

 

[CupInSIX]

they're not going to take prust out after what happened to price - not with carcillo and dorsett in the lineup

There's hockey to be won.

 

[habtastic]

Rishaug on TSN speculating it'll be Bournival out for Galchenyuk.

J'espere que oui. Je suis pas mal tanne d'entendre que c'est accidentelle.

 

[Allah Veuglette]

What remains, is that Kreider has done this three times already.
Ask to the insurance companies if a person keeps wrecking their car...
Premium will go up.
During regular season, you meet teams rarely.

There was a race between Ottawa and Rangers for a PO spot and Kreider hits Andersen.
Then during the PO, he hits Fleury.

Clean guy Kreider?

Is this a hit in the back?

That's it? I can think of 3 hits way worse than that off the top of my head from Pacioretty. Those are weak hits against weak players.

All this intentional hit talk coming from the fans and montreal journalists make me ashamed to root for this team.

Yeah it sucks that Price is hurt but blame that dumb**** Emelin, not Kreider.

 

[No Mercy]

Wow Bournival better be in ...

 

[Camio]

I understand that but I was talking about how games may be a lot less stressful now that we're basically almost heartbroken already

Anyway, let's just hope Tokarski is our new Halak.

Lemme ask you:

You prefer Habs golfing while the Cup Final is being played or watching the Habs play that Cup Final?

Quit being a sissy. If anything, just become a Leafs fan. This way, you wont have to stress about the playoffs

 

[David Suzuki]

Bournival really wasn't that good in game 1. Plus Prust is better in his own zone which is what you need with a backup in. We're going to have to be all in this series. Think us in 2010.

 

[Rapala]

Rishaug on TSN speculating it'll be Bournival out for Galchenyuk.

Makes Sense...
Take out one of the only two guys who even showed up for game 1.
If this doesn't work we can always sit Eller.

 

[Newhabfan]

I cooled down a bit. Let's focus on the game and win it. Miracles happen.

However - on the favourite topic - is there an analogy we could have with the NFL and the hits on the QB ? It's kinda similar - some players would take the risk of a penalty for the extra tackle and injuring the QB is always seen as a victory there. And then they blame the OLine - "they should have stopped us".

Then the League, seeing how the loss of a QB equals loss of starpower and income went with extreme harsh penalty for any unjustified QB tackling. Regardless of speed, weight and being pushed - if you hit the QB without the ball or under a certain height - punishment.

My call would be then for much stricter rules - it is your responsibility to avoid the goalie - you hit him you're out. Would lower the crease fighting most likely and maybe the physicality of the game but... helmet to helmet tackling in the NFL were big selling points yet they cut them. For a good reason.

 

[Treb]

I... I'm...

ugh. Not sure what to think of this. I'm relieved Galchenyuk isn't put on an energy line though.

I think it was pretty obvious that if Chuckie IN/Prust OUT, Bournival was the one going to the 4th line...

wow.
I just said that I'm a lot less nervous than usual and that makes me a sissy or worse, a potential Leafs fan ? Ouch.

Never said I was happy but I guess that my lowered expectations have at least a positive impact on my level of stress

 

[David Suzuki]

let's go red let's go

 

[MTL-rules]

**** that ****, we're gonna regroup and win this game and the series !

 

[Kents polished head]

I think it was pretty obvious that if Chuckie IN/Prust OUT, Bournival was the one going to the 4th line...

I would probably rather that than Bournival out though. Not a huge fan of a player as some here, but he's still a welcomed element against a speedy team.

I don't think Galchenyuk has the speed or the physical shape after one month off to take on this challenge. Stanger things have happened though.

The NFL is a beacon of player safety and intelligent decisions compared to the NHL. F this league.

Well, MT has already been extended...

 

[Gary320]

I'm getting a weird sense of optimism for tonight.
I might be getting sick.

 

[gqmixmaster]

Maybe PK can sneak Malcolm on the bench in Budaj's gear

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Prust doesn't deserve to play after crapping his pants in game #1 when he was the designated hitter for passing a message to Kreider.

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

Canadiens are half-way along the path to Glory and the Stanley Cup.

There is Opportunity to win the only hardware that counts, new fans, plenty of respect.

Beat TB = expected
Beat Boston = Major Upset
Beat NYR w/o Price = Few Expect It
Beat Chicago to win the Cup = Super Major Upset

Would be the sweetest Cup win since the 75-76 dismantling of Philly

Believe, my friends.

 

[Habsawce]

How is a stick to the outside of the leg 15 feet away from the net the reason he barreled skates up into Price's knee? I don't get it Rangers fans, it just doesn't compute unless we're not worrying about that silly little physics thing.
