Did you see the Ranger holding DDH sweater? He almost ripped it off. Call it refs.

Game 2

 

[irunthepeg]

This feels like 2010 after we had two big emotional series wins over that Caps and Penguins. We ended up losing Game 1 of the semi-finals against Philly 6-0. That series didn't finish pretty. Therrien will have to regroup the team and come out strong in game 2 (for the record - we lost 3-0 in game 2 to Philly in 2010).

I've been thinking about that the last few weeks. The only thing is then we were completely on the backs of Halak and Cammalleri haha. This year we have the talent to get a better result, it's all up to work ethic and defense.

All in all (and maybe it's because I'm primarily a Jets fan now with them back) I will be happy with a ECF appearance and a win over the Bruins, I just hope this goes to at least 6 or 7 if the Habs lose and don't put in any more efforts like today's breakdown.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

White and Galchy in the next Game.

 

[TennisMenace]

Hopefully Prust

If not him, Vanek if he plays like this.

 

[Nedved]

pk should shoot bullets, who cares, makw thw rangers feel somw pain

 

[habscup*]

Kreider was tripped but I am sure he figured he had a freeby and put everything into his slide.

he was not even tripped dude, there was no montreal stick in site.

 

[nyhabsfan]

So who is coming out for Chuckie on Monday?

Bourque... but Vanek has done nothing and Gionta is done

 

[David Suzuki]

May create another "More horrible player" poll with Bourque in it...

Reported.

 

[Whitesnake]

Kreider was tripped but I am sure he figured he had a freeby and put everything into his slide.

He wasn't incredibly tripped. Those are pros. This guy is a magician on skate. If he wants out, he is out. He didn't and used that supposed smallish trip to charge. I have no doubt he did that on purpose.

Having said that, I'm not the Bruins. Not looking for retaliation. But if I'm Subban.....I shoot pretty hard.

 

[Runner77]

Do we assue Price is OK? If he wasn't, he'd be in the dressing room, not on the bench.

 

[fsdev905]

VANEK out of the lineup!?!?! Are u out of your mind? Now i understand why ure not a coach in life...

The list is not who WILL be out of the lienup, but who SHOULD be out of the line up based purely on play, effort (MERIT).

 

[PricerStopDaPuck]

It was nice of Montreal to let the Novice kids play a game.

 

[CH25]

Now you give Eller PP time ?

 

[Plombier de 4e ligne]

lol, Markov.

 

[Plekanov]

This game is like the Nhl version of the Red Wedding...unexpected, tragic and heartbreaking. The north remembers!

Galchenyuk is coming

 

[Milhouse40]

Never saw DD put some move like Eller just did on the PP....in 3 years.

Eller on the PP!!!

 

[ThunderBuddy]

Oh, my

 

[habscup*]

Do we assue Price is OK? If he wasn't, he'd be in the dressing room, not on the bench.

They don't want anybody to know of any injuries, in case he heals up.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Markov is completely done.

Looks terrible

 

[irunthepeg]

I like Eller, Gally and Clutchy Briere on the PP.

And yes, Bourque has been terrible today but lest we forget what he's done for us this playoff run. We know the type of player he is, he's not consistent. Gotta deal with the downs and the ups.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Hopefully Eller's goal will spark us for the next game, like Subban did in Game 5 against the Bruins.

 

[Milhouse40]

Bring back the egg line

 

[fsdev905]

5 on 3..
Let's pull Budaj.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Finally getting a PP at the end of the game when there's no chance of comeback.

kk thx refs

It's not like the refs are at all at fault for today's loss.
