And away we go NHL thread!!!!

[Spivonious]

Man, Flyers had a rough third period but managed to keep Boston to the outside. Will we see history made on Friday? And more importantly, can either of these teams solve Halak?

I read somewhere that only 5 teams have gotten as far as Game 7 after being down 0-3.

Congratulations to the Habs for getting it done. Congratulations to the Pens for fucking forgetting how to play like the defending Stanley Cup champions. Piss poor play and coaching by the Pens.

Canadians want it more, and the Pens played like a bunch of candy asses. Stick a fork in this season, the Pens are done.

I told you before that they suck didn't I? You should have been ready.

The biggest difference between Sid and OV is one of them shows up when his team needs him, and the other can't seem to rise to the occassion.

I was waiting...and waiting...AND WAITING for Sid to show up. Now anyone who thought Washington choked can either realize that Montreal played a complete game or they can say Pittsburgh choked.


Ovie was better than Sid, Mike Richards has been better than Sid, Camilerri has been better than Sid...yawn.

If Washington would have played Ottawa in the first round OV would have had 16 points and Ottawa would have been gone in 4. Where were you Sid?


As I said when it took place – full credit to Montreal with the win. They proved it beyond a doubt having LESS manpower and still getting it done against the Pens and their stacked line-up even now that they have Stanley Cup experience. Ouch. No Markov and Gill gone for a while too…

And you say I'm not right yet all the evidence shows that OV simply doesn't rise to the occassion, whereas Sid does. Love him or hate him, Crosby is hands down the most complete player in the NHL.

Ooooo...you said it twice Rupe.
Sid does what? Wazzat? Huh? Yep…if whining and crying & taking hissy fits along with cheap shots after time has expired and boring as ol’ F interviews makes a player the ‘most complete’ then Sid has it. Fact is that Sid has ALWAYS had a damn loaded roster around him to help him look so well-rounded yet still can’t handle ANY aspect of the physical play like Ovechkin and mentally cracks under the pressure while OV keeps his cool-look at any time that things aren’t going Sid’s way for the proof.

Here I am a Hab hater and just loving the thought of Crosby emptying his locker.

I'm just going to say it one more time - Sidney sucks.

If the Flyers can keep it up looks like they're going to get their chance to.

I must extend my congratulations to everyone here, this thread has held its own this season.

[atomic charvel guy]

Spiv has got to be currently spraying his shorts too, 2-0 Flyers after 2.

[6string40]

WOW...at least I don't feel quite so bad now as a Caps fan...congratz Habs!

[clifffclaven]

call it a hunch. The Pens have the puck more so Montreal will be called more. The calls have been 23-17 in favor of the Pens in the series and thats pretty equal. What is frustrating and sometimes overlooked is the timing of the calls and lack of consistency, one minute a players gets away with it and thenext play they don't.

Nope. No bettman conspiracy.

[Hellbat]

Jesus titty fucking christ, now I'm gonna have to listen to my brother in law crowing about how awesome the habs are....

[Rupe]

Halak is unbelievable...I'll be pulling for the Habs in the next round (barring a miracle comeback)

[BenoA]

5-2 Montreal!!!!

[Razor]

Don't see the Pens coming back from this one. I know who I'll be pulling for in the Eastern finals. Now it's time to root for the underdog.

[BenoA]

Halak is on fire tonite!!!

[BenoA]

i'm pulling for you ben. for the 1st time in my life i'm rooting for a montreal team.

Thanks! It's crazy here in my livng room with my 3 sons!!! Go Habs Go!!!

And time for another beer!!!

[6string40]

i'll say one thing, that save by fleury was huge, montreal would have been up 5-0
had he not made it.

I think that was Brent Johnson...Fleury was pulled after the 4th goal

[atomic charvel guy]

i'm pulling for you ben. for the 1st time in my life i'm rooting for a montreal team.
