the montreal Canadiens are perhaps the most talented team is the NHL. They are faster and more graceful than any other playoff team. Yet they still struggle against teams they are much better than (Bruins, Flyers a combined 16-0 against them in the regular season). This brings me to believe the Habs lack heart. Players such as Kovalev, Higgins and Plekanec have not steped their games up, they arent playing bad just not what i expect in the playoffs. These Younger players like the Kostysyns and Lapierre have worked their buts off while Higgins misses open nets and Michael Ryser sits on the bench. This lack of heart among the Assistant captains (Kovalev, Higgins, and Markov not Koivu as Koivu is all heart) is what IMO the reason we are not winning.
The next issue is Goaltending. Carey Price is amazing. He is the future of the Habs and maybe the best goalie prospect of all time. These playoffs he has not been consistant, he was amazing in 4 games against the bruins and he was less than stellar the other 3. Last night he was absolutely disgusting. That shorthanded goal was dispicable and even the other two were weak. We really need for him to show up tommorow night because when he is on his game we win plain and simple. I for one think it would be a shame if Halak started, not be cause Price has sucked, but because Price needs his confidence up and he is the reason we have made it this far to doubt him now is exactly what he doesnt need it could ruin him. See. Raycroft for the leafs (amazing now he sucks). We need to Start Carey and give him some defense and get the early lead which is key.
By the way next year gives me the shivers especially if we could lure a sniper to replace Ryder that could score 30 goals a season.
Go Habs, in no time they will have me singing OLE OLE and P.S if we make it o the finals me and my buds are driving up to Montreal to party and watch the games (In a bar because i would have to sell my kidneys to get tickets) and hopefully we could join in the rioting when they win.

The Habs
Rule 50 - Kneeing 50.1 Kneeing - Kneeing is the act of a player or goalkeeper leading with his knee and in some cases extending his leg outwards to make contact with his opponent. Mancini.... Are really as stupid as you sound? This is what you said "You dont have to lead with your knee" YOU DO HAVE TO LEAD WITH YOUR KNEE for it to be called KNEEING. Oh MY God, Dude READ THE RULE ABOVE IS WAS CUT AND PASTED RIGHT FROM THE RULEBOOK. He lead with his shoulder you fart. Kovalev Got hit Initially by his SHOULDER. WATCH THE REPLAY, you can find it on youtube, But do yourself a favor and turn the sound off. Just so you dont get confused again by the homeboy annoucers, who by the way retracted what they said in that telecast. Yes I DO know what goes on in Canada From way down here, Its called TV, Radio, and the Internet. I've tried to be fair with you, as I said Its fine to be a homer, I am too I loved Richards hit on Price But also knew it should have been a penalty. Thats the difference between you and I. You can' t OR won't admit when your wrong. BTW, American Beer does not taste like piss Only Coors Light, Miller Lite And Bud do. Do they still make Grizzly Beer? Used to love that stuff. |
