Well said …

Plekanec took part in the warm up skate, so hopefully he’s playing.

Really good intro..whoever placed it…nice reminder and Montreal has at least on win in every decade scince hockey began..2 more years to keep it going..this Price fella makes some serious saves..wow..and some good new guys there,,,GO HABS!

3-0 vs Brodeur and that after 2 periods …. OH YEAH BABY OH YEAH BABY !!

That should read “GROOVY BABY. YEAH”

trade my ***!

oh wait PS: The lafs lost … it just got better HAHAHAHAHA!!!

leafs didn’t lose. check the score 3-3 going into OT.

Laffs haven’t lost yet…it’s a tie game.

I would like to officially say that I was wrong. I’ve always been a big fan of Price, but have said from the beginning of the season that he should’ve been #1 for the Bulldogs this year for conditioning. He’s proven me wrong. I didn’t see tonight’s game, but 38 saves for the shut-out in such an important game? I think he can handle the pressure. I’m eating my words…someone pass me the “Hamilton”…

4-3 Leafs genius.

I’m not a Leafs fan at all, I’m quite committed to the Habs. I do tend to cheer on the other five Canadian teams, in no particular order, when it doesn’t directly affect my Canadiens. What I do care about is arbitrary and useless hatred which tends to disrupt the flow of decent hockey talk on this and other blogs and forums.

For the record, saying “wishfull (sic) thinking) after claiming a falsehood to be true doesn’t absolve you – and I’m not an *******

Unbelievable!

I was at the game up in the nosebleeds. (you gotta love the ghetto seats) hehe.

Yeah the last 2 minutes of the game it was crazy loud. We were chanting Ole Ole Ole and Na Na Na Na and Carey! Carey!
It was getting drowned out with all the cheers and applause!

This was definitely a statement game.
Carey was just awesome.
Defence played well.
And we won even without pleks line scoring.

Great game guys!

Before I post my comment, I might as well get it out there. I’m Huet fan. I didn’t (and still don’t) think they should have traded him, and I think they’d be stronger with him over the playoff stretch. I also think that the way they dismissed him was disgraceful (no notice, no appreciation, nothing).

That being said, I can’t say enough about Price stepping up to the plate. He’s been fantastic ever since he’s stepped in, and has been everything that could have been asked of him. Before he took over I was definitely one of the doubters (and yes, I was one of the guys on here saying he couldn’t do it). Well, I am happy to say that he has more than proven me wrong. I maintain that everyone who ragged on Huet was unjustified, but I’m happy to admit that the Price supporters had more behind their claim than I thought, and I’m sorry I doubted this phenomenon.. Despite what I thought was an extremely ungracious handling of the situation, it appears that Gainey has yet again been proven right in appointing Carey Price a number one goalie, and, contrary to what I once though, what I have seen lately tells me that he is capable of carrying the Habs into the playoffs, and deep.

So here’s to my favourite team, the Habs, led be their stellar goaltender! And, on a more personal note, here’s to my favourite player, Cristobal Huet, leading his team to a playoff berth (unlikely? Of course. But as long as it’s possible, I hope)! GO HABS GO and HIP HIP HUET!

Toronto is not gonna make it. But don’t tell the leafs thaT! They’re going to come 9th and get an averaged draft pick, just another Tlusty. lol

Other than Price’s stellar shutout performance, it’s so promising to see, not only, even strength goals being scored, but, even strength goals being scored by players other than Kovy and his linemates.
Even strength goals, secondary scoring, and great goaltending……great combination of weapons to have in your lineup at this time of year.
Also, so great to see the Devs curse being lifted as such…we can now play future games against this team, not having an outcome all but decided before the drop of the puck. But guys, this is no time to slow down…keep the game faces on…cuz we still have one more GIANT hurdle to leap and curse to break….and this test is gonna happen 3 more times in the 11 games remaining.
Assuming everyone knows what I’m talking about…these final 3 games against the Sens are not only games to try and shake the hold that these guys have over us…more than likely, the outcome of these games are going to determine a 1-2 or a 4-5 finish for us.
But ya know what….I finally think we’re ready, ready to go to battle with this foe who has topped us so many times in the past. Everything is looking great…if we can just keep up this brand of hockey we’re playing and don’t let Heatley and Spezza run the show every time they’re on the ice. We’re pulling together at the right time, and now, when looking at the very good possiblity of the first eastern conference champion banner being raised to the rafters in a long time, there’s no greater boost our guys need to get up for these games and come out flying. GO HABS GO !!!

Good afternoon fans

Wow what a convincing win last night!! We are over coming fetas not seen since our last cup run of 1993, coincidnce….hmmm i guess the playoffs shall tell us where we will finish at year end. But is the season is any predictor so far….we should be play well into June at this rate.

How interesting would it be if the Leafs manage to squeek into the playoffs and we finish first in the east. We would finally play these Laughs in the playoffs for the first time in decades…. That would be icing on the cake for me…to see us sweep those Laughable Leafs!

By the way…AMERICA OWNS US!!!..sad to say that!

I personally would love us to play Boston or Philly, Boston more than anyone of course, cause Thomas and Auld are just terrible. Biron is not that much better but Philly is right behind us with the #2 PP in the league so that scares me a little bit. I mean i am sure that Price can handle both but the easier first round for a rookie goalie the better (in my opinion).

The only team i think that we don’t want to see first round is Buffalo, they have alot to prove and if they get in then they are going to really give any team a really hard time. Miller is a tough playoff goalie.

Now with all that being said, i know that the Habs can beat all the teams in the Eastern Conference, noone can match up to them, except for NJ, but we won the series this year which is a huge boost for confidence.

Anyway, i don’t blog much, but Go Habs Go!!!!!

Lets go through them all and win a Cup for Canada this year, tired of seeing it go South!!

Hey Christopher, be careful of what you wish for, we all know that the leafs are not as good as our habs, but there is one thing I have learned over the years, the leafs play their best hockey against us and for some reason we sometimes take them for granted. So lets not run that team down too much if they had a decent defence, a good goalie and some good forwards they would be a great team just like us!!!

rgillis…good points..i dint know phillly had a P.P.that good…And Miller..well say no more..i get the creeps thinking how that guy thinks in net..kinda like luongo..great goalies…

Oh yeah..its 5 -2 Pitt over buffalo..Miller got “pulled”..lol..hes still ok..just a bad time to put him on a pedastile!…lol…

I met a couple of chics yesterday at the bar..i got hammered, forgot to get them to come online..hard to find “French lovers” in western canada..they all Edmonton or Calgary fans…I just opened my mouth about louongo..and they “pulled” him in the second against Anaheim ..I am having a bad call day!..lol..anyway.. HOW LOW CAN LOUONGO GO?????
My T.V is a Samsung..so if Samsung a song, what kind of song did Samsung sing? Ok I am going tot the doc tomorrow to get this cabin fever checked out!!!

Dear Lord…please let the standings stay as they are right now……I know it would be nice to stuff our tongues in our cheeks if we got first BUT…if they stay this way we’re looking at:

pitt / philly

mtl / boston

carolina / rangers

devils / sens

wow….I mean..WOW. Every series has grudge implications…unreal.

This would be good guys- PHI- MTL and Boston to come 6th so they’ll knock off Carolina and Montreal will knock out Philly and Boston and then go against Pittsburgh in the conference Finals. That would be an easy road.

Its crunch time for some hungry teams here..im just glad we are not risking “life and limb’ to make the final spot…Vancouver is desperate..now Ohlunds gone for the season..imagine if Komisarek got hurt..or Kovalev?..think about it..we can use a bit of discretion and reluctance because we are not desperate..you are going to see a lot of injuries on lower half and drowning teams…again..i will say it again/HEALTHY teams go FARTHER in PLAYOFFS!!!!!!
hands down..no two ways about it..we stay healthy…we go to conference final!!! P.S PREDICTION….BIRON WILL BE HERE TO KICK SOME *** IF THINGS GET OUT OF HAND! (or at least someone to team up with KOMI if they get”chinsy”)
Gainey know this!!!!

Couldn’t be better tining for Lapierre..watch this guy!..i said it weeks ago..next lafluer…

I know what u mean habfan but the last couple of times we’ve made the playoffs we get some kind of injury. Theres too many cheap teams out there. Zednik and Quintal in 04 and Koivu last year. we would have kicked Carolina out and probably win the cup because no one else could take down the canes.
