I too shall repeat what I said in the last thread...There is absolutely no pressure on the Habs tonight - no one is expecting anything from them. So go out, play fucking hockey the way you know how to play hockey and see what happens. Fuck the system, fuck the refs, fuck the league "code", fuck the fucking SFU, fuck TVA and their Fucking Nordique loving fuckers...FUCK 'EM ALL! Just play hockey and JUST FUCKING WIN! What was the name of this fucking blog again...oh yeah -
"The Habs scored at near 10 percent of their shots during the regular season. They're at 2 percent since game 1 vs Ottawa. Let me put it in simpler terms how dry they have become. They needed 10 to 11 shots to score a goal in the regular season. In the playoffs, they need 50 shots to score a goal. 50 shots. Don't know if I have ever heard of that. You wonder why they can't win. Well, there you go. They are having either the worst case of puck luck ever or the regular season was a mirage."
That is fucking insane.
Also consider, the PP is now 1/28. Let's pretend that they were clicking at an unimpressive (I realize that's relative) 14%. That would be 4/28, or three more goals these playoffs. Doesn't sound like much, but maybe that came tonight to win it. Maybe that came in game 1 to win it. Maybe that came in game 4 against the Sens to win it. For a team that has only scored 9 goals in their last 7 games, I'm sure those 3 goals would have come in very handy. And remember, that's still below the league average, and their dismal season average.
My question is: How in the fuck did these guys ever win 50 games and get 110 points? eMpTy must have used some kind of magic potion which has obviously worn off. These guys couldn't... never mind.
Reason for optimism (sorry, now I'm getting into stats to take away my anger):
Price has not lost an elimination game for over 4 years.
What's that you say? Well, he wasn't in net in 2013 when they lost to the Sens in game 5. He wasn't in net last year for game 6 against the Rangers. So, it stands: April 27th, game 7 against the bruins in OT. I looked it up!
Somehow, someway, a fan at an NHL playoff game made it through security with, of all things, a gun.
Lucas Cassidy, a 27-year-old Tampa Bay Lightning fan, was taken into custody and slapped with a second-degree misdemeanor charge for bringing a firearm into Amalie Arena.
The alarming incident happened Wednesday night in Tampa, as the Lightning defeated the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 in Game 3 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series.
In a video obtained by 10 News, a Tampa TV station, Cassidy is seen being escorted out of the building from his nosebleed-level seats by security.
Police were alerted when a witness came forward claiming Cassidy dropped and then picked up his gun in a washroom.
Since the St. Petersburg, Fla., native had a concealed weapons permit, he did not face a felony charge.
Lightning spokesperson Bill Wickett told 10 News that the team is investigating how Cassidy gained entry into the venue with a gun in possession.
Since the offside game winner in game 1, I've noted at least 4 occasions where the Habs have been called offside on clearly on-side plays. Last one was with a couple of minutes left in this period. The puck was a clear foot over the line before Prust. And the linesman had a clear view. Plays like that which disrupt promising rushes make a difference in the end.
Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!
Starting to think they are coached to be like that. bishflop and cockburn didn't dive and turtle on their previous teams. Modus seems to be to goad the opponent, fake out the ref with embellishment.
During the 1st TVA said to Auger, Stephane, Bishop is a known diver, why havent we seen him get a penalty? Well, because goalies are given the benefit of the doubt
I can understand if he did it once, but he does it numerous times every game, fuck the benefit of the doubt bullshit.
Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!
Restricting ticket sales to Florida residents was bad enough, but banning Habs jerseys in some arena sections is one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard.
HNIC shows the PP for both teams in this "series". Except they use the number for the whole playoffs for Montreal, making it look like they've gotten way more PPs this series. Oh, CBC.
The refs have accepted that TB isn't going to come back, so it's time to even up the PPs so the box score looks good. That call isn't made if it's 1-0.
Just to reply to the M in the last thread:
ReplyDeleteI'm half Ukrainian. I was raised on vodka and cabbage. And also a healthy distrust of Russians.
GO HABS GO!
because despite my blathering I still believe in and love them. Fucking assholes.
Nice theme.
ReplyDeleteThe Habs are going to need a Jedi Master to get out of this mess.
Use the Force KidG!!!

ReplyDeleteThey now have more shorthanded goals these playoffs than powerplay ones.
ReplyDelete2 goals on 5 shots - 1 nice shortie.
ReplyDeleteSFU crying for a TAM comeback.
ReplyDeleteThey're doing everything but chanting.
DeleteMT yelling at Lego. Trying to remain positive.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I'm reminded Healy has no glass in front of him, I can't help but make a little wish he gets an errant puck in the mouth.
ReplyDelete+81
DeleteI can't understand how Bishop hasn't gotten a diving penalty. I know they don't give them to goalies, but it's getting ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteBut then on the flip side I want him to keep flopping and get burned on it.
ReplyDeleteI sooooooooo wanna see him get burned on it too, been waiting since game 1.
DeleteNice work by Lego!
ReplyDeleteSince the offside game winner in game 1, I've noted at least 4 occasions where the Habs have been called offside on clearly on-side plays. Last one was with a couple of minutes left in this period. The puck was a clear foot over the line before Prust. And the linesman had a clear view. Plays like that which disrupt promising rushes make a difference in the end.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I mentioned that yesterday. Like the 2on1 last night. Meanwhile, I think that was the first offside called against TB since maybe game 1.
DeleteGood period. No CHocula!
ReplyDeleteGood period - keep it up - don't sit on this lead. Just FUCKING WIN!
ReplyDeletePut gCHuck with Lego FFS!!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Fucking. God. Crotch is wearing a Habs tie. I don't know what to do.
ReplyDeleteWTF, MT was pulling a Watson on Lego.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it worked. Almost scored a beauty.

ReplyDeleteYeah, except nobody AHL goalies have a great track record against the Habs.
ReplyDeleteI was just about to comment how much I was appreciating DDD:) then he scores a big one.
ReplyDeletea three goal lead against TFS, start singing people
ReplyDeleteIs this that Latvian goalie we saw in the olympics? I think so eh.
ReplyDeleteThe FHForce is with them.
ReplyDeleteWith them the FHForce is.

ReplyDeleteKidG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm delayed and saw the comments here and thought maybe Gallagher tipped the Dish goal.
Kid G we have scored a half season of goals in one game!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see Tampa squirm a little.
ReplyDeleteKill it
ReplyDeleteI'd like to take one of these goals and give it to game 1. And then take another one and give it to game 3. Thankyouverymuch.
ReplyDeleteHabs easily slipped a couple past Vaselineski.
ReplyDeletenice
DeleteBullshit
ReplyDeleteGo Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletemeh
ReplyDeleteCrap
ReplyDeleteBullshit call, bullshit goal. The refs got their one for the Bolts.
ReplyDeleteHope PatCHes is ok, go a puck in the hand.
ReplyDeletePing
ReplyDeleteI'm more concerned that Patches went to the room after blocking a shot.
ReplyDeleteNearly every time an undeserved pp occurs ends in a goal. Should have been a Habs PP instead. Hope Patches is OK
ReplyDeleteId like to see CHarger score.
ReplyDelete(apostrophe isnt working)
Patches back on the bench.
ReplyDeleteGo Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteK3X, you got an election update?
ReplyDeleteKill it
ReplyDeleteFucking whining diving complaining late hitting fucks.
ReplyDeleteJesus, the ref comes in and almost tackles Weise. Of course he's the only one to get called.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that in a game where one team has dominated in every way, the other one is the team that keeps getting PPs. Very strange.
ReplyDeleteBrayden "3rd Sedin" Coburn - 6'5" 220 lbs.
ReplyDeleteBen Bishflop - 6'7" 210 lbs.
Literally the 2 biggest floppers I've ever seen.
Starting to think they are coached to be like that. bishflop and cockburn didn't dive and turtle on their previous teams. Modus seems to be to goad the opponent, fake out the ref with embellishment.
DeleteDuring the 1st TVA said to Auger, Stephane, Bishop is a known diver, why havent we seen him get a penalty? Well, because goalies are given the benefit of the doubt

Wendy Mesley stills cranks my turn. Met her once 20 years ago on Sparks Street.

ReplyDeleteWOW, WTF? I just came home and tuned in...what universe did I land in? Earth 2?
ReplyDeletePlease sit down, I have some shocking news to tell you. Are you sitting. Ok, here it goes....
DeleteThe Montreal Canadiens scored a PP goal tonight. Seriously, I hope you were sitting down.
Tampatouine
DeleteAnother one for the refs.
ReplyDeleteHow many times are they going to blow loose pucks dead in front of the Tampa net?
ReplyDelete1 quick Ottawa whistle = 15 Montreal quickies.
DeleteSFU want Tampa goals.
ReplyDeleteThey've got all their fingers crossed. And i suspect Hugeson and Simpleton have their swords crossed too.
DeleteCHarger!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCHarger!!
ReplyDeleteCHarger!!!!
ReplyDeleteCHarger sip!
ReplyDeleteNice catCH! Sip!
Deletewoooohoooooo
ReplyDeleteFirst time I ever hear someone (huge son) call it a 6-2 Tampa deficit. SFU.
ReplyDeleteI am very happy for CHarger.
ReplyDeletePrust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCHarger!
ReplyDeleteSo according to HNIC, if Bishop was in net TB would be winning? Didn't they try that already?
ReplyDeleteYou gotta be kidding? How fucking stupid are they?
DeleteWell juce it's Healy saying it, so...
DeleteWell, they didn't really say that outright, they just said it would be a different game if they left him in.
DeleteDont tell me DSP will get a penalty because his stick broke?
ReplyDeleteFIRE UP THE PP
ReplyDeleteCASH IT!!!
ReplyDeleteGo Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wanna see a PK Rocket on this PP for the touchdown.
ReplyDeleteBoyle should have a penalty for that.
ReplyDeleteHe was just 'relieving frustration' according to huge son.
DeleteGo Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRestricting ticket sales to Florida residents was bad enough, but banning Habs jerseys in some arena sections is one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard.
ReplyDeletePretty disgusting.
DeleteTrash.
DeleteHNIC shows the PP for both teams in this "series". Except they use the number for the whole playoffs for Montreal, making it look like they've gotten way more PPs this series. Oh, CBC.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think it was game 4 vs Ottawa when their visual showed the Habs were 1 for 36. And they rolled right along like that was the right number.
DeleteHuge Son is excited. "Tampa Bay is really starting to skate now!!!"
ReplyDeleteCASH IT!!
ReplyDeleteShocked they call it since it was kidG who was tripped.
I can't believe he drew a penalty.
DeleteThe refs have accepted that TB isn't going to come back, so it's time to even up the PPs so the box score looks good. That call isn't made if it's 1-0.
DeleteGo Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete2nd time commenting... can the guy who brought the gun in shoot Healy?
ReplyDeleteHmm, Alberta turns orange and Omar Khadr is finally released. Coincidence?
ReplyDeleteDon't question the Orange. The Orange knows what's best. Let the Orange do its thing.
DeleteNo sir. No questions.
DeleteGo Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow many fucking times is HNIC going to show the game winning goals by TB?
ReplyDeleteSFU can't STFU about Tampa.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know if the SFU mouthed this much about how the Ducks would do in their next game?
ReplyDeleteI thought we didn't play at the Forum any more?
ReplyDeleteSimpleton is a simpleton.
DeleteThey are very worried about Stamkos once again. I'm sure they'll have a prayer circle or circle jerk or something to bring him good vibes.
ReplyDeletewell that was fun
ReplyDeleteWoo!!! Saturday night in Montreal. FINALLY!
ReplyDeleteStill time for fuckface bettman to make it an afternoon game.
DeleteThey deserved better fates a couple games and tonight they finally got it.
ReplyDeleteThat was nice. Defied by expectations. Keep it up, boys!
ReplyDeleteAnd unlike TB's 6-2 win, MTL didn't have their goals handed to them by the refs.
Hey the M, I'm hitting the links for the first time tomorrow afternoon. Courses open up your way yet?
ReplyDeletewe kicked their shit all over Tampa Bay
