Don't Habs fans want the Bruins to win?

Habs-Bruins series usually go pretty well for you.

- Atomic Wedgie


True.

I just can't cheer for either the Sens or Bruins.

Despicable teams, both of them.

I do like good old RJ though.

They still have scoring issues. Honestly, when they go up against a team who has good centers, they'll have even bigger issues. Their lack of depth down the middle is a huge issue in the playoffs. Even Boston would likely give them a tough time IMO. Wouldnt be a great matchup for them.

I'm not claiming the Habs are perfect, far from it. They have issues, like most teams.

But Shea Weber is great, Radulov is carrying the team offensively and Price is the best goaltender in the world.

They're not favorites to win the cup. But they have a legitimate chance to think they can do it.

He's already paid what... 6M?

Probably around the same number for a longer term.

He's amazing!

Ahhh. Well, I'm pretty sure Lucas is only responsible for a single jink then. But it's a good one.

Holtby - best goalie in league with Schneider - must love his teammates when playing vs Leafs.
Somehow Holtby always has his weakest games vs Leafs - or the Leafs have his number.

Leafs, although playing really well, were quite lucky yesterday - actually I thought it was the game they least deserved to win (maybe that's why the win felt extra great!) BUT 2-1 is a very fair representation on the series..

Tomorrow Leafs can practically end this series; don't expect Washington to be as bad on the PP though (one of the worst 5 on 3's I've ever seen!) - key to tomorrow's game is limiting the time on PK.

Go Leafs Go - should be two easy wins for Leafs to get the series in 5


- MaximusAurelius


all 3 games went OT. been a tight series. it's possible the caps fold if we win game 4, but i'm not counting on it.

Woah now, lets not get crazy here. I like him a lot, but committing the 3M it will take to resign him may not be a good thing if we want to follow the Chicago model.

Let some other team overpay him, and then trade for him again with that team retaining salary.

Meh, a two year 2-3 million per will not hurt us at all.

Like Justin Trudeau's sunny ways.

Also don't underestimate the effect of Dart Guy.

I remember Semin being amazing the year he had a one year deal and then once he got his big contract he was back to being his regular poop self. I could see same thing happening with Radulov.

Far exceeded my expectations.

Talk about the great things the rookies are doing but none of this happens without Freddie, he is the backbone of this team.

Agreed. 2 years for 6 mill is in line with what he's worth. His contract would end when it is time to resign the kids.

I thought they had 5 Phaneuf clones out there, pucks missing the net so wildly.

Maybe third times the charm, two of the other California trades didn't work out well.

This team is breaking all the stereotypes so far. They aren't acting like the Toronto team I know. I'm having a hard time believing that they can win, but now I'm starting to get a feeling that this series goes to six games. For who exactly is the question. If it goes seven I think Capitals win...
