  • Race for First
    By Habs Blog on March 28, 2008 | 46 Comments46 Comments Comments

    The Habs have temporarily lost their 1st place seed in the Eastern Conference. With a game in hand, they have a chance to retake it tonight.

    The only thing we know is the Conference title will probably come down to the last day of the regular season which has the Devils, Penguins and Rangers all in action. The Habs having finished the day before.

    The Northeast however, could be clinched earlier. And with it, a guaranteed #2 seed and home ice advantage throughout the playoffs.

    The Habs still hold a 4 point lead and game in hand against the Senators. Two weekend wins against two non playoff teams would make for cushy lead before playing the final game against the Senators on Tuesday.

  • Canadiens Clinch!

    The Canadiens have clinched a spot in the playoffs! The earliest they have clinched in many many years, and currently the ONLY team assured a spot.

    canadiens clinch playoffs

    Will the 3rd period mini collapse hurt or help the team?

    With no games until Friday the Habs can rest comfortably. Having assured their spot before the 4 day lay off was a big accomplishment.

    The Habs have 5 games left and can control their own destiny. They are in an excellent position to go on and win the Division and Eastern Conference titles.

    Senet1 and 7 guests are online.
    • Senet1 : Anyway doesn't anyone want to talk about the game or the next game??????
    • Senet1 : I agree but if he has to announce could'nt it be for the Leafs games.
    • goalie : It's long past that Bob Cole should have been put out to pasture.
    • Senet1 : It was nice to watch the game last night on TV with English announcers the only bad part was listening to Bob Cole and is bias comments about the habs. God I wish they would ship him back to doing the Toronto games.
    • Senet1 : Yes Goalie, even Rocky's favourite player AK46 through a good check, he got a penalty but it was a good solid check and despite what the anouncers said it was not dirty or illegal, it was a penalty because Lucic did not touch the puck.
    • goalie : I didn't get to see all of the game tonight, but I have to say I berlieve this team is developing some good chemistry. I saw them skate adn out hit the Bruins throughout the game. Keep it up boys!!!
    • Senet1 : A good 4 point win. gives us some additional room.
    • Senet1 : Sergie's got jump, he should talk to his brother.
    • Senet1 : Hey Rocky maybe he will score the winner again tonight if we get on his case again.
    • Senet1 : I just don't get it, if the team was playing badly there could be although I do not agree I could understand but the team is playing good and they really need Kost to congtribute and he is out for a skate most of the time.
    • Senet1 : I agree really I thought he was coming along after his injury and I understand it takes time but he has had plenty of time to get back into form and hasn't shown it.
    • rocky : He can, but the guy has no heart at all. A really lazy player.
    • Senet1 : I always thought he could skate faster than that.
    • rocky : oops, sorry, my bad.
    • Senet1 : Your right he really looks slow too, don't get him mixed up with his brother.
    • rocky : Senet, Andrei Kostitsyn has been a no show in this game, give me a break man.
    • Senet1 : Way to go Sergie, I think he has found his confidence, which I mentioned some time ago that he was lacking. He and Moore seem to work well together and the good thing is he plays a solid two way game.
    • Senet1 : GO Habs GO
    • Senet1 : It is funny but I always have the gitters when we play the more physical teams like Boston and Philly. I guess it is because I always fear that our defence will not protect our goalie and allow the opposition to crash the net and interfere with the goalie. The in crease activity seems to favour teams like Boston, whereas before when you could even have your foot in the crease they were at a disadvantage. I did not like that rule but I do think that they relaxed the rule too much.
    • Senet1 : Big difference, hopefully the boys play better in front of him tonight.
    • Senet1 : I just hope that Jaro is not being worn out, he showed signs of not being as sharp last game, hope that is not an indication that he is playing too much. The olympics had to be tiring. Playing four games in a row may be too much for him. I guess only time will tell, one thing about European players especially goalies they are not conditioned to play that many games like players coming from the Canadian Junior leagues who play 80 to 100 games a year. Euro's play maybe 50 games a year. Big d
    • goalie : Would be nice to see the Habs put in another 60 minute game tonight. If thery do they should win. Halak getting nthe start again...let's rebound Jaro!
    • Senet1 : Halak was due to have a bad game, OOH look at me defending him. Anyway he also had some luck with the posts and crossbar. So lets hope that he is not getting complacent now that it appears he is considered the #1 by most. Who knows this might take some pressure off Price, knowing that Halak is no super human. Lets hope so because rumor has it that Price plays against the Bruins because of his record against them.
    • goalie : I was quite disappointed in the wuality of goals Halak let in last night. Certainly not NHL calibre. Let's get going Jaro!
    • Mats Naslund : I bet BG is pleased that his legacy as GM is at least saved for now (as we're finally seeing a glimpse of what he envisioned). There are still huge question marks - but the franchise is in a better position than many.
    • Senet1 : Basically, this is BG's team,
    • Senet1 : Here's a thought I wonder if Gainey wishes he had not resigned now, after all
    • Senet1 : Good news everyone lost that can beat us out of a PO spot. Boston helped us by beating Philly which gives us a outside chance at 6th.
    • Senet1 : Well sounds like Price may get the call against Boston, he seems to play well against them and has a good record. The beaat Philly tonight to now we are tied for 6th.
    • Senet1 : That goal may get AK46 going. Plex needs his help.
    • rocky : Wow, lucky to get those points. We desperately needed two tonight. HOLLA!
    • Senet1 : Well Rocky sign of a good team and you play bad and win
    • Mats Naslund : alright boys two points is two points have a good night
    • Mats Naslund : sometimes life is like that
    • Senet1 : Well Just when we want to get rid of him he scores
