Go Habs Go!!!

i don't think there's such a thing as a shallow 4-0 sweep in the NHL playoffs.

Most teams with goalies with Lindbacks numbers are in the draft lottery. .891 those are Toskala numbers.

That doesn't explain how bad the rest of the team looked, though.

i see. so the fact that Tampa ran the table at the end of the year with Lindback in net... what's your theory on that one? i'm sure you've got a good one.

Fluke.

CBC feature on the Habs' first line http://www.cbc.ca/sports-...ideo/#id=2450345788&tab=1

Do you really believe that?
I don't. I wouldn't bet on Montreal beating them, but I wouldn't be so quick to discount it either.

Don't get me wrong. I picked the Bruins to win the Cup before the season started, and they emboldened their case as it progressed. I felt going into the playoffs that honor will belong to San Jose.

I have no doubt that Montreal will be Boston's greatest challenge. And I don't fully believe they'll overcome it. It will be a great series if it comes to pass.

i'm just not sure we match up well in a series. obviously it goes without saying that Price would need to play the series of his life. but maybe just as important, the PP would need to get going, for 2 reasons: one, i think Boston will dominate 5 v 5 play; and two, there needs to be a deterrent. if the PP doesn't scare them, you're going to see Lucic spearing guys in the nuts, Marchand sticking his knee out, Chara delivering 2-handers. we can't counter that stuff physically.

Mtl dominated almost all periods of the series.

Thats the way to win in the playoffs.

TB might have win one with Bishop in the net.

Really? How good did the Leafs look with Reimer in net?

I agree totally.

Also they would need to take runs at rask.

The refs helped a lot too.

Tampa turned the puck over so much, they made Ottawa's troubles all year look pale by comparison.

Whats your definition of ran the table? He has 8 wins on the year.

Twice in a month; fined for the 2nd poke. I wouldn't be shocked to see him get suspended if he does it again.

What's your goal here? Is it to attempt to diminish the fact that the Habs are in the second round of the playoffs?

french refs.

And Toronto is better than the Habs. My dad told me.

Seriously though, I wasn't sure how the first Tampa goal counted. I looked at the play a few times, and saw Palat shove Price with his stick while simultaneously swatting at it (along with Gorges) with his glove. It was a mess in the crease; how they were able to determine that it wasn't his glove that pushed it in still baffles me. At least it wasn't a game-deciding goal.

Go Briere Go!!!

Extend him 8 x 8

If he keeps yapping, perhaps Tampa will get another shot.
