Idk dude, wednesday's game was even except for the first period in which you rocked us, but yeah your D is looking pretty strong right now.  I'm expecting this game to be pretty good!

Ok not a good start... haha

Yeah, that didn't end too well... close game...

LOL Ya not going so well is it. 3-0 in the series. I would be pretty surprised is the Hawks didn't win game four at home. But then back to Vancouver and we will take the series in game 5. We need one series out of the last 3.......

Now onto the Bruins, what a freaking joke...... Big Bad Bruins EH!!!! Montreal is has this series going back home now, a 2-0 lead going back to Montreal ouch, I wouldn't want to be a bruin now. That team is built for a long playoff run to, big changes to common in B town if they can't make it the 3rd round.

Gotta be impressed with the Pred's though 2-1 series lead on the Ducks... Rinne will be hard to beat.

Flyers reclaimed home ice advantage tonight.

I think they will win the series in 6, hopefully Pronger returns soon.

Every time I hit a crappy shot on the course I think to myself, "well at least I'm a Habs fan making a crappy shot, could be worse, I could be a Bruins fan making a crappy shot!"

Maybe next week you get in a few rounds with the team?

lol

Go Habs!

[sean_miller]

I just hope the Canucks and Wings stay (get) healthy and git 'er done quickly in the next round too. In the Eastern conference, I hope all the series are long and physically taxing.

When you miss a putt, do you fall down, and look for a do-over from your playing partners?  Or, do you contact the mounties to have the ball investigated for being so mean?

BTW - how's the poutine been lately?

[Huffy2k]

Go PENS!!!!!

If Boston gets the monkey off their back and FINALLY gets past the HABS in the first round it will be because they played their BEST hockey, unfortunately that will probably mean they have nothing left for the second round and we can all get back to concentrating on golf!

GO HABS!

You do realize Boston swept MTL last time they met in the playoffs right? 9-2 Boston is 9-2 in the last 11 playoff games between the two teams. So whos back is the monkey on exactly??

Yessir I do. however I am also aware that Montreal and Boston have met 32 times in the playoffs and the Habs are 24-8 in those meetings. So your monkey is bigger than our monkey ;-)

I also know that the HABS faced elimination 6 times last playoffs and won 5 times.

I also know the Boo-ins will lose this series because they are chokers.

And our beer is better and our chicks are hotter!

Very recent history is not on the Candien's side, but historically speaking, the Habs have had the Bs number many times. No worries, since they had almost everyone's number in the 50s, 60s and 70s.

The three series before the 2009 sweep:

2002: The eighth-seeded Canadiens upset the top-seeded Bruins.

2004: The seventh-seeded Canadiens upset the second-seeded Bruins.

2008: The top-seeded Canadiens outlast the eighth-seeded Bruins in seven games
