Habs / Flyers: Game 2

  • Written by Habs BlogHabs Blog 191 Comments191 Comments Comments
    Last Updated: April 26, 2008

    Sloppy play, unlucky bounces & fluky goals all characterized game one of this series.

    The Habs managed a late comeback victory regardless of all that.

    What will happen if the Habs or the Flyers execute their game plan effectively?

    I dont know, if the Habs can barely beat the Bruins a team that has no offense, I would have to say the Flyers should be favored to win this, they can skate with the habs and they have more offense than the Bruins.

    Maybe it will come down to Price, here is time to shine.

    Choosing to hang around with the ‘Biggest Loser fan base in pro sports’, marblehead?

    If the Habs show up as they did in Games 1 and 7 of their series with Boston, they’ll win. It’s that simple. Biron cannot stop their offense when it’s firing on all cylinders (few goaltenders can), and Price will give them a grand chance to take a 2-0 lead to Philadelphia.

    A no-show by the Habs, however, and this series can easily be tied up tonight.

    no lineup changes for tonight’s game, so that means Breezer(old and soft) is in. How will O’byrne ever gain experience if he doesn’t play?
    I guess Carbo doesn’t mind Breezer scoring for the opposition.

    If it were up time, and it’s not, I would have put O’Byrne in. The Habs could use another wrecking ball in their own end, in my opinion.

    I’m OK with Brisebois scoring for the opposition from time to time, just as long as he continues scoring clutch goals for the Habs.

    Breezer scored 1 goal in 8 games. I don’t understand Carbo’s logic. Doesn’t he want a young, big and strong Dman against a physical team? guess he prefers a player with experience at not hitting, and turning over the puck.

    Lidstrom may very well become the first European-born captain to lead his team to a Stanley Cup championship. Mind you, after 17 years in Detroit, playing with a leader like Yzerman, he knows what it takes. Further, he has the luxury of being surrounded by the coaching, players and teamwork required to accomplish the task. This is not to take anything away from Lidstrom though – he’s a phenomenal player, and if he accomplishes this task, he’ll certainly deserve it.

    An itty, bitty blurb about it.

    Let’s hope that Koivu and the Habs have something to say about that though. They can start making their case by showing up with a strong 60-minute effort tonight.

    I thought that he had two, but I was wrong (1G, 4A). Still he has been a catalyst for the Habs’ offense at key times in these playoffs.

    Regardless, I agree with you.

    I might have to take back what I said about both Price and Biron. Wow. Those two soft goals to give the Flyers a 2-0 lead were a killer. Meanwhile, Biron is the only thing keeping this a 3-1 game.

    When Price is hot, he’s really hot, but when he’s not, he’s not. Not good enough at this time of year, Carey.

    That being said, the Habs are clearly a far better club than the Flyers, and Biron won’t be able to save them forever.

    I think Philly looks far superior to us. I mean if you’re down 2-0 to start every game, what do you expect? If we lose. it’s because of a poor performance by Price. Habs don’t seem to cash in on their chances, and Philly does, with a little help from Markov and Price.

    habs need a break, But if Plekanec would have scored on the breakaway, different game. We need to go high on Biron instead of shooting at his pads.
    If we lose this game, we must win 1 game in Philly.

    Up until tonight, the Habs were cashing in on a lot of their chances. Biron is in a zone right now. Tough to beat him tonight.

    29-16 are the shots, which suggests that the Habs are taking the play to the Flyers, which they obviously have been. Regardless of the 3-1 lead for the Flyers, I think it would be fair to say that Biron is stealing one for them tonight.

    See this for what it is…

    The Habs dominated this Flyers team tonight and Price played a piss poor game. That’s OK becasue Price will rebound with a strong performance in Philadelphia and help the Habs to establish a 2-1 series lead.

    The Flyers have no answer to the Habs’ speed and they haven’t been able to establish a physical dominance like they had hoped. All the Habs have to do is consistently put in this kind of effort, with Price on his game, and they’ll win this series.

    rhabs4realit’s only game2,a little early to call it don’t you think? Plus our Habs beat themselves,Price had a off day and Biron was glove hot,and too much passing and not enough shooting.Another thing was cary the puck in instead of allways dumping her in and last but not least, sit Dandy.

    I’d have to agree with the notion that the Habs should shoot more often. We all know that they’re skilled–wonderful–but sometimes when you get the puck in the slot, it’s a good idea to just shoot the damned thing.

    Price has been bad in 4 of the last 5 games. He has been absolutely brutal in 2 of 5 (tonight and Game 5, rd 1), just mediocre in 2 others (gm 1, rd2 and gm 5, rd1) and excellent in one of them (Game 7).Other than that, not impressive.

    I wonder if he isn’t getting tired. He’s a great goalie, but he’s had more bad games already in the playoffs than he had all year in the regular season.

    And there’s absolutely no question that Markov is injured. My bet is that it’s a knee or an elbow–based on the way’s he’s been timid and having more difficulty than usual corralling bouncing passes (either he can’t pivot as well on his knee or move his arms up and down as quickly, thus either an elbow or a knee imo)

    I totally agree with you groundwrking. Looking at all of Price’s games in the playoffs, he’s not playing well. Against Boston: good in game 1, 2 oK, game 3 ok, game 4 good, game 5 and 6 horrible, game 7 good. so the kid can’t seem to put 2 good games together. More than anything else, those stats worry me! We need him to be good in 6 out of 7 games. I truly believe he’s way too calm, znd too young to understand what it’s all about. give him a couple of years to mature, but not yet.

    Hi All,

    I must admit, didn’t see the game, just the highlights
    ( exhausted from watching 10+ hrs of the NFL Draft).
    Noticed that many of the goals on Price where high glove…one of my first blogs here commented on the scoring “skill” issue from other teams againts Price…just my observation for what it;s worth…he does seem to go down too earlier. He covers the mid/low area extremely well, and he’s very relaxed…good thing. Believe “Rollie” may need to work on that b4 game 3.

    Take care boys and good luck in game 3……and always remember that the Flyers, the Eagles, the Phillies, the 76er’s, Rocky, Kate Smith, Schultz and all the Broadstreet BullShits….and especially any Philadelphia sports fan are “loathsome losers”.

    No I haven’t. All I know are the soccer chants becasue my girlfriend is Brasilian, and therefore she tells me what they actually mean. Ole is a chant of approval or encouragement. What’s funny is that the commentators seem to think that the Ole, Ole, Ole chant is premature when it’s sung early in a game because they think that it’s a victory chant. It’s not. It’s a ‘Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go’ or ‘great play, great play, great play’ chant.

    I’ve heard Rangers fans chant some interesting things as of late, but I can’t make out what they are.

    I am a fan of Price’s skills, but don’t you think he’s playing a bit out of his head? I feel the same way about Biron, right now he looks unstoppable, but I think any insecurity can bury either netminder in this series. Neither has looked “Conn Smythe” so far.

    Panger was born in the North Pole as well (under a rock), relocated to the U.S. to fulfill the role of hockey analyst for ESPN (of all things), and was then mailed north of the border (inside of a Christmas card, of all things) to the TSN studios. Very suspicious.

    I like the originality of chants and songs. Many people complain about the Ole song, for instance, especially Leafs fans (Toronto is conservative and unimaginative), but I think it’s great that Habs fans do something different to deviate from the norm.

    It’s amazing how little respect is given to the sick goals some skilled Flyers put in net tonight. Umberger started it up high, and Carter slipped one as high as it can get into a space “the size of a puck” (quoting Price). Don’t throw your goalie under the bus, when you should realize only the best of goalies can do something about shots like that.

    That being said, Biron made stops that the best of goalies make. He stopped back to back point blank shots at one point.

    And Briere made Price look like a fool on his backhand display. You boo him because you wish he was playing for you, and that’s being quite respectful.

    Stu how could you possibly think you will win both games in Philly? You’ll have a chance at game 4, but game 3 will be ugly. Remember game 3 against Washington? 6-3. Sounds alot closer than it was. We have seven 20 goal scorers. Who else can say that in the league? Oh ****, nobody! Most balanced attack in the game will prevail, and with Biron playing out of his mind in his first playoffs as a 30 year old, you guys are in trouble.

But Philedelphia has been getting the breaks. Montreal= best road team in the east so take that!!! I have high hopes for our hopes and the habs will win the series 4-1 or 4-2.

    and for rcbhotrod, Ryder is one of my favorites but I just haven’t seen him with grit and that goes the same with Dandy. Dandenault is a veteran but he isn’t showing anything! Ryder might not be a french but I know he loves the habs just as much as Latendresse. I like Ryder better but there is no time to gamble to see if Ryder comes back. But I say keep O’Byrne out and put streit on D with Lat, and Ryder up front. Most the players on both teams are tired and Those two players will be full of fire!!!!!!

    If Price plays better, then habs will win, plain and simple. Take away the 2 soft goals in the 1st period, and habs win. I mean Philly can’t be that lucky in more than 1 game. Luck only takes you so far. hoping habs in 6.

    Yo Blade…these guys also want to make a lot out of how many shots they took. Lots of shots are a good thing generally, but aside from flashing leather a few times, B-Ron was not having to move much in these two games at the Bell Center, was he? The bulk of shots from The Inhabitants were at his pads or mid-section. Shots like that are like raindrops on a brick wall…no problemO.

    We have our work cut out for us, no doubt, but this series is ours to lose, the Habs have issues in net and with heart that will be interesting to watch…No. 1 and No. 2 regular season PP leaders going head-to-head! Our road record was only slightly less stellar than that of Les Canadiens. Clearly, WE are our own worst adversary, not The Inhabitants. Being so young, we could struggle, but we are also a dangerous playoff team with as lot of “jump” that can expose an opponent’s weaknesses. Should be fun to watch.

    Lets get FLYERED UP!!

    Briere is booed because he shot the puck in to the stands at the end of a regular season game to deny Price a souvenir for his first NHL shutout.

    You know what’s funny? The number of fans that embrace their favourite team as if they built it themselves. They didn’t.

    Hockey, like all successful professional sports, isn’t at all what is used to be. These players don’t speak for the fans, they speak for themselves… and the companies advertised on the entrance to the arena, the boards and the ice.

    Anyway, Flyers fans, you can keep Briere. The last thing that this Habs team needs is another small, skilled player.

    portly, the reality of last night’s outcome is that the Habs failed to capitalize on their scoring chances, which speak a lot louder than shots on goal. Forget the shots on goal, the scoring chances were far more lopsided than the shot counts were.

    “We’re obviously disappointed with the loss, but we carried that game,” said Montreal goalie Carey Price, who did not have a strong game. “If we could have buried half of our open-net chances we could have won 8-4.”

    Missed chances cost Canadiens

    As to the Kostopoulos-Timmonen ordeal near the end of the game, Stevens is once again being silly. Timmonen turned arond and taunted him, laughed at him, and then turned away when he saw Kostopolous coming at him.

    Don’t turn it in to something that it wasn’t, John.

    A few comments: (Strictly my opinion, I’m entitled to be wrong)

    In no particular order

    1) I believe The Habs are in a mini slump, we saw them throughout the year,
    they were short lived and consistency prevailed, better now than in later
    rounds, even in a mini slump Montreal (as I believe showed last night) they
    are more skilled than the Flyers and it will show in the end.
    2) There is a reason that Biron was never given the full time gig in Buffalo
    again in the end I believe it will be apparent why.
    3) Hockey is first and foremost entertainment, the unwritten promise from the
    the management and staff of our team is to provide this, I for one have been
    entertained, along with 21,000 plus (and the thousands left wanting)have
    shown, home game after home game. For a mere $1.99 per month I am able to
    watch every single Habs game of the season (RDS, Starchoice) name me another
    team that allows this without caving to the pressure of PPV.
    4) Cherry is the “Madden” of hockey, mixed with a little Howard Stern.
    He’s both revered and despised, he’s opinionated but honest and his honesty
    is his allure, love him or hate him (and I’ve done both)he speaks his mind
    with total disregard for political tact.
    5) Pierre McGuire IMO is one of the most unbiassed analysts going, it’s easy
    to be an armchair coach, but I think he is the most well versed of the
    bunch.
    Last} Like it or not, hockey is also a business, every home game played in the
    spring is revenue gained towards spending for the future.
    The boys are playing in May!!! Be proud, and appreciative,see comment 3
    as to why it’s great not to be a Canucks, Hawks, Canes (add teams here)
    fan.

    Flyers outworked the Habs. What game were you watching? Habs Out shot the flers by like 14 shots. They won because they had a couple better shots. And Biron stood on his head. He was good. Well flyyers fans watch out because the Habs are going to come out flying in game 3 and won’t stop till the end. Mark my words.

    Flew out to San Francisco Friday and ran into a couple of Shark fans on the plane. Had my Habs cap on. They looked at it, chuckled to each other, to which I responded, “Maybe we’ll meet in the Finals. If we do, we’ll klick your ***”.
    I am not a hero. They were just a couple of short, bl;oated guys. Joke may be on me AND them, based on how the Habs looked Saturday and them dropping the opening home games to Dallas.
    Here’s the skinny on Price. When he goes into his crouch, there’s plenty of room above each shoulder, and it’s no secret as both the Bruins and now the Flyers have been shooting mostly high up. That’s just part of the problem. Even in the crouch, Carey can snag the puck on high shots, sight unimpeded. However, the Flyers have been cruising in front of him, screening him at will, as our Canadiens are unwilling, unprepared, or just plain intimidated to move them out of the way.
    Tony Bennett may come out with a new version of his greatest hit, that begins with,”Habs left their BALLS, in San Francisco!”
    Maybe Carbo should go back to the days of old, and keep the team sequestered from wives and girlfriends during the playoffs. The way they’ve been looking lately, skating like their legs weighed a ton each,makes me wonder if it isn’t a case of “Sugar in the morning, Sugar in the evening,Sugar most any time.”
    In other words, NOOKY and HOCKEY is definitely not an example of perfect rhyming.

    Hi Joseph,

    The Rocky Statue is purely an entertainment/cultural depiction of the 20th century.

    It has been received with much controversy over the years, moving from the art museum to/from the Spectrum…is it art or is it pop-culture? …well, the “fathers” of Philly agreed it was a “tourist attraction”.

    Geez…from the Liberty Bell to Rocky…what a city!

    Since we are on this topic…what’s going on with the Forum these days? I believe it’s still up?

    Take it for what it’s worth…the Forum was so iconic. There are just a few places left in N.A ….Fenway, Wrigley, Yankee Stadium (idiots are building a new one), Lambeau & Soldier Field, and perhaps Notre Dame Stadium

    I always believed that a 2nd major renovation was the route to go. Just look at Soldier, Lambeau, and Fenway today.

    I realize it’s about $$$$….but my last memory of that place was ‘96, last game with the torches high…wow.

    As for the Boston Garden….it had character, but hey, when the rats find the place a dump it’s time to move on :)

    I hope Montreal knocks some f_cking teeth down the throats of those Flyers tonight. Every time the Flyers score a goal they taunt the Habs players. I’m glad that the Habs Mr. Greek gave Jackass a sucker punch.

    All that F_cking Stevens does is whine. The first game he said his team got no breaks. What the f_ck! Two goal posts by the Habs and two fluky goals for the Flyers. No breaks. Cry me a F_cking river.

    If it were not for luck and the Flyers getting all of the breaks and bounces Montreal would have gotten 8 goals every game so far. We hit 3-4 post Saturday night as well.

    And last game Stevens whined about the cheap shot from the Greek on Montreal and that Montreal players had no class. Carbo blasted back about class when the Flyers had the most suspensions of any team this year.

    I hope to F_ck that Montreal is pissed off enough to hand the Flyers their Asses for the rest of the series.

    I am sorry for some of my comments Saturday night. I should wait till the next day to post after I calm down. I hate to lose, no matter what I play. My passion burns so intensely for the habs, it just takes control of me.

    The Spectrum is about to be demolished to make way for a huge commercial development in the shadow of the new stadiums now gracing the South Broad Street corridor. They really ARE a sight to see, the Linc (Eagles), Citizens Bank (Phils) and the Wachovia Center (Sixers and Flyers) are really state-of-the art facilities (dontcha hate bank names on sports facilities??) and a credit to their sports-mad town. The Rocky statue actually has spent several years at the Phialdephia Art Museum, which brought many questions like yours, Joseph. It IS a piece of art, but it also embodies the blue-collar work ethic of this city and the determination and pluck expressed by the “up-by-your-bootstraps” guys here that spend a large proportion of their hard earned pay to go root for their beloved teams…no cheap feat.

    Look around your city, my friend, and you may find a few statues of “fictional” or mythical figures as well i’m sure…it’s certainly not something unique to Philly.

    Oh, and to DuckDoc: there is one more option you failed to mention regarding the Flyers ability to cruise the crease unmolested:…unwilling, unprepared, intimidated…how about just plain UNABLE!?! We have even used the 6′5″ 260 lb Derrien Hatcher in this roll occasionally, and our main man on the crease, despite a partially torn ACL, will be back in the lineup tonight pestering Monsieur La Price…one Mr. Mike Knuble. Mais oui, it would make Rocky proud!!

    Lets get it ON!

    On another note, now that Jacques Lemaire has been let go by the Wild, is there any chance he might come back to the Hab Family? I watched him all the time he played for Canadiens; he was the best 2 way player (and I do not mean that in the Flyer sense; he only likes women)ever. Number #25 should have been retired years ago. Anybody out there know what the deal is? He must have pissed off somebody really big in the organization.

    Whoever it was that wrote about Markov being injured was right on.
    The guy used to lead all the rushes up ice, skate in from the blue line on a give-and-go, and apply muscle in our end. I believe his problem is the main reason our power play is gone. Bouillon can log the puck but the Flyers have been abusing him like a flyswatter on a mosquito.
    We got any defenseman on the farm ( or on the bench) that can take the puck down the ice?

    Habs never lack of skills, but we do need “hitting” and “blocking”.

    Tony and portly:

    Thanks for the thoughtful explanantions. I remember reading something about the Rocky statue being moved from the Art Museum to the Spectrum but I didn’t know the details behind it.

    As far a statues of fictional characters go, I’m quite certain that they exist in every city. And although I’m not entirely in agreement with the idea of them being idolized, I do appreciate the more general iconism that they represent. But then, we’re a strange culture.

    As to the old forum, I believe that it has since be turned in to an entertainment center, with pieces of its historical past being preserved within. For example, center ice, as I understand it, still resides in the middle of the complex.
