You guys out there? Let’s make some noise!!!!!!!!!!

GOHABSGO!!!!!!!!!!!

TK06 has been inspiring the team with his “warrior” image.

He scores; he fights; he parles francais with local media… He’s become a star in Montreal and Habsnation.

Go Price Go!

Go Ks Go!! (AK27, AK46, SK11, SK74, TK06, MK08)

Go Habs Go!!!

Only 3 games to go and the Flyers will put Montreal out of their misery. Enjoy the last home game in game 5 Hab fans!

omgshh yeahhh!
im so exciteddd!
but ihave one question:
why are the canadiens called habs?
reply asap.
BOOM SHAKA LAKAA
WE MUST WIN THIS GAMEE!

Come on Habs lets pound the Flyer. Make them sorry they taunted you.

Go Price.

Go Habs.

Go Ryder.

Habitants

LOL they suck for sure ….

No class team and fan in Philly

Two posts, a cross bar & a missed open net. Can you say CURSED.

Montreal has hit enough posts and open nets to have 10 goals every game so far in this series.

I’m so pissed.

Montreal needs to K!ll these F_ckers………..

for fac sakes

Why not put Ryder in the lineup? How could it hurt us?

No its not dont be so silly, one goal is not a series , The Habs are playing good enough to win , we just need to keep at it, at one point the flood gates will open ….

You got to be kidding me ,F@CKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

I can’t F_cking believe my eyes.

He’s done. Too much pressure for a 20 year old. Shame on us for assuming that he’s superhuman. He’s great, but he’s no Patrick Roy (who was older) or Ken Dryden (older too.).

Mentally exhausted, rattled, and not the series for him to get his stride back. I’d go with Halak as far as he can take the team, and give Price a break.

3-0 is the score!!!!
Pack it in Habs fans!!
Hugs and Kisses from Philly!

na na na na, na na na na, HEY HEY HEY GOOD BYE!

O *** O *** O *** O ***! O *** O ***!!! LOL..

I wish Boston won last round at least it would have been a better series!

THE PRICE IS WRONG *****!

LOL…

On the third Flyer goal, Plekanec is playing left defense while Markov is near the boards on the right (WTF is he doing there?). Komisarek (? our best defenseman) loses the puck to a Flyer who throws it in front of the net and BINGO,another open Flyer scores as two Habs are looking for marbles on their knees. Anybody check to see what’s in the Gatoraid bottles the Habs are sucking on? Could they be spiked?

I love Price, but he needs a break. He does not look good out there. If Halak doesn’t start the 3rd, I’ll be pissed. A couple strong saves could spark the forwards, and I’m sorry, I just don’t see Price doing that tonight.

I say Halak for the 3rd, and for game 4. And believe me, it pains me to suggest pulling Price. But, at this point, I think it’s necessary.

Any city (Philly) That had a Jail and a Judge (on it premisis) veterans stadium tells you the kind of folks that live there.

Price has ADD(attention deficit disorder). It’s a disease, that has spread to the whole team!
I have said it before and I’ll say it again. Price doesn’t have the intensity or mental toughness to make it in the NHL! I think he’s way too cocky and relaxed. Has no concept of what it’s all about. Gainey better draft a goalie.
And the hab’s record is perfect. 91 sleepwalking starts in 1 season! way to go deadbeats!

Every team changes goalies in playoff when No.1 is not on the right tempo, NOT Habs?

Sometimes I really don’t get Carbonneau. Halak should be right now until it’s not too late.

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH………………………..

GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAbs will bounce back.. remeber games 5, and 6 last series seems like a repeat… and there is still a chance once goal could spark a sh*t load and look halaks in nets we can win

Give Halak some playing time, and then Halak will be good for game #4. But it’s beyond the goalie. The team isn’t sharp. they look totally dead. And they haven’t look good in the entire playoffs. This team is a regular season team. They don’t have the right kind of players to grind it out in the playoffs. I see major changes coming in the offseason.

Flyersfan, I like the Habs tatto your mother has on the small of her back. looks good.

Come on Flyers Cup. You know Philly is the worst sports town in the USA! What a bunck of lOSER TEAMS!

Nobody can blame Price for this game…….where’s the rest of the team……they are sleeping out there!!! This is not Price’s fault….

Price can handle the pressure……the rest of the team just needs to show up and play the way they played during the regular season!

is this a spark of energy for les boys, 5 min penalty wiht umberger out….

Get them somemore Frog,lol goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

LOL frog… I won’t argue most of those. Nobody goes to Pats or Geno’s becasue there steaks suck!

Keep AK27 and SK11 in ONE lineup is the SAME as Carbo’s lucky tie. He only put one his tie once, how come keep AK27 &SK11 togother forever???

AK27 and SK11 should be split (no bias at all, just tried to think objectively):

AK27 – AK46 – SK74;
SK11 – CH21 – TP14.

OR, go back to the original lineups:

AK27 – AK46 – TP14;
SK11 – CH21 – SK74.

At least we’re showing some character in this period. We’ve taken good advantage of that power play so lets hope the floodgates have opened on Biron now…

What do you guys think about the Pitt-Rangers series?

T-minus 4:00 to Flyers VICTORY!
PULL PRICEY

yOU SHOULD KNOW IT AINT OVER TILL THE FAT LADY ……..

She is singing… See ya game 4

yOU GUY ARE TOAST FROM HERE ON ,YOU ARE DONE CHEEZE BALLS,DONE DONE,DONE,YOU HAVE NOYHING LEFT IN THE TANK,SAY BUH BYE PHILLY,CITY OF MANLY LOVE,LOL,GO HABS GO,OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE

If the Flyers continue playing the crappy style of hockey they are playing, and if the Canadiens can keep goals against to no more than 2 for the rest of the series, then most certainly the Canadiens will win. Clear the path for Price to see and also get some more traffic in front of Biron.

I disagree about Price. He hasn’t been good at all.

1. Montreal 4-1: Price saves 17 of 18 shots. .944, excellent
2. Montreal 3-2: Price saves 37/39 shots. .948, excellent.
3. Montreal Loses 2-1: Price saves 29/31 shots. .935, very good.
4. Montreal wins 1-0. Price saves all 27 shots. 100% Brilliant!
5. Montreal loses 5-1. Price saves 19 of 24 shots. .791 Awful.
6. Montreal loses 5-4. Prices saves 31 of 36 shots. .861 Bad.
7. Montreal wins 5-0. Price saves all 25 shots. 1.000 Brilliant!
8. Montreal wins 4-3. Price saves 30/33 shots. .909 Average.
9. Montreal loses 4-2. Price saves 19/23 shots. .826 Very Bad.
10. Montreal loses 3-2. Price saves 9/12 shots. .750 Brutal!

The notion of him having no chance is ridiculous. He’s had 4 very bad games in the 10 games that Montreal has played. You can’t get too far in the playoffs with your Goalie shooting at 60%.

That said, it isn’t his fault. That was a risk the Habs management took when going into the playoffs with a 20 year old. And he’s an absolute wunderkid for a 20 year old. But this is the NHL. And I’m comparing him here to the expectation that elite NHL goalies have bad games, but not 4 bad games in the first 10 playoff games of the year.

Well, I’m glad to see the Canadiens came out to play in the 3rd, but too little too late. You can’t win a game if you only come out to play 1/3 of it.

I’m going to change my mind. I want to see Price back in net for game 4. And I want to see the Habs come out and win it for him!

I sure hope the intensity from the 3rd period spill over into game 4.

I feel bad for the Canadien fans right now. 8 month winters and they have no hockey team.

I find myself agreeing with Don Cherry. Price has been badly screened in a significant number of the goals that have gone past him in this series. He’s not been sharp, but he can’t stop what he can’t see.

Biron, on the other hand, has had a clear view of nearly everything — the exceptions being the the shots that have got past him, when the Habs have got to the goal, and given him some grief.

The other thing is that we’re not competing enough in the Philadelphia zone. We need to get to the net. We can ring shots from the point off the posts all night, but that’s no good – outshooting the flyers won’t win the series. We’re scoring when we compete for the puck in front of the net, and if we do that with some consistency, then we’ll wipe the floor with the flyers.

Crash the net, get some goals, and then we’ll see what Price can do.

rhabs4real

You are a MotherF_cker.

If you were to say that **** about Price in front of me I would rip of your head and **** down your neck!

guys, I know ur panicing but don’t worry. Philedelphia is the worst nhl team there is. They have luck though, and better goaltending but now Halak is here and philly is done.

lOOK WE GOT TWO OF THE best young Goalies in the league,Price needs to get his mojo back and Halac will do fine.It will also make the D play better ,so as long as we beat those thugs up who cares !We were dominant Fans ,had em by the nuts and THEY KNOW IT.AND DID ANYONE CATCH COACH STEVENS,WHAT AN *******!!!!!

post #90 phillyfansarefags,get help and move outa your Moma’s house ,get a life and ask your mother for a saw buck to get a hooker,so you know what your missing,lol

I hope Halak plays next game, otherwise we’re in trouble.

The Philly *****’s is thier name and ringette is thier game,lol

Zoot Alors!!

More tomorrow when the hangover breaks. This series is FAR from over. We know better than to be cocky. 3-1 lead the last series against an inferior opponent and we went to 7 games. The Fat Lady is still gargling. Sleep if off and we’ll talk in the morning…

I’ll be glad when your team is shutup in game 5 when the flyers win it. The NHL wants you to win and so you get the calls, but you couldn’t quite pull this win off even with the refs help. Such a shame. And your saying that Philly Fans aren’t loyal and energetic. We were voted most intimidating fans in hockey, and as far as loyal goes, i watched every game last year despite how poorly my team played. This is the Flyers time to shine, and you’ll just be another one of our defeated opponents in our path to the cup. Btw, your hotshot goalie isn’t playing so great in this series, probobly shouldn’t have traded huet, at least he put up a fight before we beat him.

so again how many cups have the flyers won in 41 years?? looks like the same record as thew laffs. Make that 42 years without a cup in Philly.

Philly Fans,
I am not pandering to you nor being a phony goody goody sport, but your team has played well and it’s obvious that they’re executing. Your plan is simple but ideally suited to the type of players you got, big and aggressive.
The guy with the puck hesitates before shooting, waiting for a teammamte to either skate right at our goalie or skate across at a diagonal across his field of vision. From the scores, it’s obvious this tactic has worked.
On the other hand, this tactic does not keep the Habs from scoring; your goalie does. The guy has been so hot (forget about the LUCk part, fellow CH fans), that I propose we refer to him as LORD BIRON. It’s the least he deserves, until he starts blinking from all the Red Lights that’ll go off behind him on Wednesday.

Flyers a future? Who’s their top prospect? Downie? wow ok. mtl:price best goalie in the future,Chipchura,kostitsyns,alot more. Philly:NOTHING!!!Oh well I’ve had enough of this talk because It’s really stupid with all these Philly fans here. 2-1 and they thinkn they won the cup. Listen guys eventually philly wont have luck and then they’ll go 4-0 against Pittsburgh, HAVE FUN!

Leave the kid (Price)be…reality check here:

1. He’s 20yrs old!!…success has been easy for him to date. This experience will bring many dividends over the next few years.
2. You need to play him the rest of the way. His confidence will be destroyed….win or lose, the Price is Right now!
3. Don’t blame the kid, blame the GM (who should know better)….I said this on a previous blog. No way Huet get’s traded for a bag of pucks (5throunder). Gainey said the move was a “risk/reward” situation. If winning the 1st round against an inferior opponent is the “reward”, then Gainey accomplished his goal. But let me ask you, won’t Huet be a real nice calming effect right about now? …and there’s no risk in that Bob.

4. You know, as a B’s fan, watching Thomas flop around makes my hair turn even grayer. But, his team supports him, the fans love the guy….Habs fan’s, “don’t kill your young”, Price is the real deal, a once in 20 year phenom, who is only 20!!!!….and don’t blame Carbo for the goalie…blame him for playing Breezer.

“Hookers, arn’t they legal in scummy Montreal. N thugs, thats how we play hockey in the states. I know in Canada hockey players r scared to get hit…”

1. I spent my university years in Montreal, and trust me, Hookers are illegal…why? Cuz they don’t need them up there, a vast majority of the women are extremely HOT!….in fact, I married one.
2. “Canadian hockey players are scared to get hit”….dumbest thing I have ever heard from a hockey fan…..to many stats for me to point out, but….

A) 14 Canadian born players on the Flyers… (did I shut you up yet!!!)
B) Broad Street BullShits of the 70’s(some say, the
toughest team ever) consisted of almost all Canadians….including Bob Clarke and Dave (The-Bird-Kicked-My-***) Schultz.
C) 7 out 10 PIM Leaders came from Canada this season.

“(the Flyers)they remind me of Detroit in the 90’s. So much talent n still so young.”

After 1 playoff win (going 7 games, in OT) and up 2-1 in the second round…yet again, you have no clue about hockey history…..THE ONLY SIMILARITY BETWEEN STANLEY CUP WINGS OF THE 90′S and your 07-08 edition of the Flyers is that they happen to be based in the same country.

…habsfansrsoft, you’ve been drinking that “orange&black cool-aid”…haven’t you?

Tony from NB (wondering what the f_ _ _ was up with that horrible duet you call a National Anthem in Philly last night????)

So many disgusting thoughts about last nights game…..

And no, not negative about our boys…not even for price, who yes prob would like to have 2 of the three goals back he let in, but to those abismal disgusting sorry excuse for a team…THE FLYERS!

Wow what can you say…we again hit three goal posts before the Flyers put the first goal in on an odd man rush. Seriosuly, we were all over them again…2 man advantage and could not put the puck past the luck Biron….where the hell has this guy come from all of a sudden?

The third period is what relaly kills me about this Flyers team. Hatcher head-doozles Boullion head first into the boards when they are already up 3-0! Wow, if this guy is not suspended you know for sure who the league wants in the conference finals. (We already know how one sided the reff’ng is in the Rangers/Pens series)

Tehn Umberger goes down like a baby kicking and screaming, even limping off the ice to the dressing room! But wait, whats this….he is back playing skating on the next shift not missing a beat! What kind of antics are those! And the media does not even talk about it! Hatcher, Umberger and Downie…wow with idiots like those in your line-up how can you get any respect as a team? And the American fans chanting “***-HOLE” TO THE REFS
! wOW….typical Americans going for the sucker punch kill….just sad.

We out shot those ******** 34-14! Unbelievable! If we dont come out flying and stick it to them bad in the next game, i will suit up myself and take it to those Flyer asses!

habs are losers

RAY SAM

American teams may win more cups in the new NHL yes, because they out number Canadian teams 5 to 1.

BUT

All American teams are lead by CANADIAN players. Don’t forget that brother!!!!!

Ryder’s stats:

2002-2003 Hamilton 69 34
2003-2004 Canadiens 81 25
2004-2005 Sweden-2 42 34
2005-2006 Canadiens 81 30
2006-2007 Canadiens 82 30
2007-2008 Canadiens 70 14

Wish Ryder to be on Habs roster, but the reality is that there is almost no place for Ryder from Carbonneau, right now and next season.

Leaving is a good choice for Ryder. Think about Samsonov. He is now one of key players in Canes.

Considering the number of scoring chances the Canadiens wasted in their 4-2 loss to the Flyers in Game 2, Carbonneau was asked why he wouldn’t dress a finisher like Ryder.

“Michael has had some highs and lows since the start of the year,” Carbonneau said. “I think we expected more from him this season. The way Guillaume played earlier in the playoffs, I felt he deserved to play.”

Carbonneu is an idiot. What a way to treat a 4 year proven goal scorer.

Kovy sucked last year and did not miss many shifts I can tell you that.

Ryder is getting the shaft, the ****** end of the stick

Gainey wanted Ryder to keep his Plus/Minus down. Well Gainey got his wish, Ryder’s Minus were way down and so was his goals.

I hope that Ryder goes to Boston and scores 20 goals on Montreal and takes the ****** end of that stick and sticks it straight up Carbonneau’s Candy ***!

a lot of players who left montreal or has been run out of Momtreal has went on to be very good players. Price needs to leave as soon as his contract is up. This team and city will ruin him.

Damn Carbo to Hell.

Joseph? You there? Could somebody check on Joseph…i’m a little concerned.

I have to apologize for some of the more course comments made by my fellow fans, but you gotta understand, this is NOTHING compared to what we get daily down here in the City of Brotherly Love. Talk Radio (WIP-610am) is legion for bringing out the crazies and boy, are they out now. Problem is, and they would probably admit it if pressed, we know that we are FAR from out of the woods in this series right now. The Flyers HAD great confidence going into the 3rd period last night, which promptly disappeared under that incredible onslaught brought by the Habs in that third period.

Question: the papers down here are reporting that Carbo’s comment that Timmonen “deserved” the sucker punch he took in Game 2 apparently fired up the hometown boys, not the least of whom would’ve been Hatcher, who nonetheless took a boneheaded penalty which unleashed and made possible the said 3rd period flurry. Did Carbo’s careless statement (and it’s predictable motivational effects) receive much ink in Montreal?

Looking forward to Wednesday…

Whose leader was honored international txxxxxxrist?

Who was on the first place of Eastern Conference? By mistakes?

Quebec is a French speaking province in Canada. Only idiots don’t respect his fact. Who are the main source visiting Montreal and Quebec City? People from US. How come only you were treated like a xxxx???

Who booed Canadian Anthem in Game 3???

Rioting is not rare in the Western world, but looting is really rare. There was only one case in my memory in Hurricane Katrina…

This is to address post #107. I really don’t care if you want to trash talk to help ease the feeling of a loss, but at least speak the truth. We have so much young talent on the team, and you know that because they’ve scored on you. You say Steve Downie is our only player to look toward in the future(and Downie is a very good gritty player, just needs to work on his temper), but have you forgot about Mike Richards(75points, 28G and an All-Star), Jeff Carter(53points,29G), RJ Umberger(50Points), Joffrey Lupul (46Points, 20G in only 56games), Scottie Upshall(30points), Braydon Coburn(36points and +17 rating on the year, amazing up and coming offensive defenseman), Randy Jones(31points +8 rating on the season, another up and coming defenseman).

Keep in mind that every player i listed has played 3 or fewer seasons and that they are all under the age of 25 and then try to tell me that the flyers have no future or young stars. We have the best offensive depth in the league with 7 20+ goal scorers thanks to a lot of these guys. How many 20+ goal scorers does Montreal have? 4. How many of them are young players? 2, and both of them are 25, 26. SO maybe know SOMETHING, anything really, before you start running your mouth about the Flyers not having a future. Actually just remind me of that comment in a few years when we are kicking the **** out of you every game thanks to these young players.

118 DieHard Habs Fan

I agree…as a b’s fan, when we finally won a series back in the late 80’s it was “like” the cup…ask any team that takes on the Yanks or the Cowboys…same thing….it’s beating that winning tradition.

Jack, show some repect…we are both “guests” to this site. You and I both know that most of our own hockey team sites are full of “smack”.

Tony (really tired of the juvenile bloggers of the world)

Problem with the habs is underacheiving players in the lineup-Kovalev,if he was REALLY trying he d have 15 points in the playoffs instead of 9.Streit is s o afraid of the corners he can barely handle the puck anymore(nice goal in game 7 though).Markov looks like a complete idiot out there(try staying on his feet instead of diving all the time)and can barely handle the puck either.Plekanec is afraid of the contact too and isnt finishing or hed have 8 goals instead of 2.Brisebois is hopefully out of the lineup for good as he reverted back to his old self after asurprisingly strong first 5 playoff games.Nice to see Latendresse banging last night and jamming the net(maybe he wants to play after all).Koivu is working hard as usual-if he could finish we would have won last night.Higgins needs to start burying some more of his chances but he is working hard.I think Ryder deserves another start-bench that ***** streit hes not doing anything on the pp anyway.SK74 AND AK46 need to work a little harder-more diggging in the trnches-and be more consistent(good game bad game rotation doesnt cut it in playoffs).Hamrlik could play better after a great start to the playoffs-all the D has to stop backing in on the goalie(1st 2 goals last nite were a direct result of that).Begin, kostopolous,smolinski,lapierre keep up the good work!!Komisarek-C+ CAN BE BETTER and we need him to be.Bouillon -playing well.Gorges-love this kid-heart of a warrior,not afraid to take a hit to make the good play(unlike Markov,Streit,Brisebois,Plekanec,AK46,AK27 sometimes SK74)Gorges should put on 10 or 15 lbs this summer and get a little stronger and he would be a real force out there.Dandenault wa splaying ok but not producing any scoring chances-dont count him out yet though-playoff vets are valuable.Obyrne-solid but unspectacular-be ok as long as he keeps it simple.Price has looked awkward at times this series but I couldnt fault him for the goals last night(see above for 1st 2 and the 3rd was acomplete defensive breakdown in their own zone-Markov and Plekanec both on their knees,not sure why).Starting Halak may not be a bad choice for game 4 though-Price may need to recharge mentally.Bottom line -their best players need to be their best players,insert 27,79,14,46,44 here if they want to beat a hardworking though less talented(on paper) Philadelphia team.

Flyersfan-good post-except the las tpart-”go flyers”

These types of comments prove you guys have a brain the size of a pea.First of all I was told Canada is an English speaking country and French as a second language…isn’t Quebec part of Canada? or is it a separate country? Secondly, putting down USA is pretty ignorant! Canada depends on USA, we tighten our borders and Canada starts bitching that it will hurt their economy, Canada’s economy is directly affected by the USA’s economy because Canada can’t sustain an independant economy…USA sneezes and Canada gets the flu. Secondly, without the powerhouse of the USA (Your friendly neighbour) Canada would have been invaded and occupied by Russia during the ‘Cold War’… but instead Canada is standing fearless in this world hiding behind and holding on to USA’s pant leg. So don’t be talking all this “Proud to be Canadian” bullshit to me…your freedom is from the blood of our fathers. Finally a question for you guys, if USA is so bad(as you stated above), why is it that all you Canadians keep coming down here as tourists (mostly from Quebec)?…ironically here all Canadians are treated warmly with respect, that keeps them coming back,not like some places I know. One last comment for Habs4life, English is the universal language in the World, I’ve been to Europe(on the other side of the Globe) to countries like Germany, Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain and never did I encounter difficulties getting by with English, then I go a bit north to my Neighbouring Country and you are looked at as if you have three eyeballs when you ask people there something in English! …so Diehard don’t talk about 5th Graders…you guys up there don’t know your mother language…THAT’S INGNORANCE!

Post 109 Tony from NB A) 14 Canadian born players on the Flyers… (did I shut you up yet!!!)
Hatcher (USA), Badest guy on the ice, Crosby ( Canada ) biggest pus i’ve seen, wouldn’ be half the player if the NHL didn’t protect him like an only daughter. I mean the your not allowed to hit the guy, yet he was hurt for three months, imagine if Hatcher got him in the corner, his career would be over.
Post 107 Stuo
As far as youth im talkin about the the goal scorers, u might have heard of them Umberger( scored every game this series, n he’s from the USA) Briere ( leading playoff point getter n the oldest guy im gonna name) Carter ( guys a stud, hopefully we can keep him in philly) Richards, Biron, Lupul ( OT goal game 7) want me to keep going, Gange ( lucky he aint in the lineup cuz it just wouldn’t be fair for the Canadiens) Thoreson ( kid don’t make a mistake) Harnell, Upshaw( scored again), Jones, Coburn ( two great young defensemen). You’re right about one thing we havn’t won nothing yet, but w/ a nucleus of young talent like i just named, anyone would be surprised if they don’t win a few cups in the upcoming years.

Bottom line is that the Habs fans can talk all they want about whatever they want, but that doesn’t change the fact that the series is 2-1 (should be 3-0), about to be 3-1.

Jack, I don’t want to pick up the debating points from your last post to respond.

Let me put down some relaxing words here. I have personal experience (a period of time) living in Montreal knowing few French. The situation in Quebec Province is that except major cities like Montreal, Quebec city, many people even don’t speak any English. In Montreal, you think everybody speak English? Everybody speaks French? No, there are many people of English only or French only. But, most local Montreal people are bilingual, so when they realize you don’t speak French they will communicate with you in English. That’s the culture of Montreal. I can say in Montreal, 99.99% service people (to customers, like tourists) are bilingual. I don’t know your case. Maybe you visited a small town, or bumped to a person in Montreal (who could be also a tourist) of 100% in French.

Even though I don’t speak French, I always love to go back and see the city even without Hockey. So, good luck, next time if you could have a chance to prove what I have said…

N for all the post about being lucky, n we hit three post. You wouldn’t even have the puck in our zone if it weren’t for all the Penatlies. N im not sayin they are all bs, but there are penalties just about every shift that dont get called. Check out the box score for last nights game. 10 min of penalty time in the first period! Ridiculous. Second period 2 penalty min hence the reason we scored 3 goals were finally at even strenght for more than half the period. N third period 7 more penalty minutes ( your 5 min major that gave u two goals). that totals 19 minutes of penalty time, almost a whole period. That is crazy, i mean come on, we may be rough, but 19 penalty min. R u serious. If Montreal was to beat us ok, it sux but ok. But to tryin hand them a series, i can’t stand it, just not fair. I guess the NHL is really pushing for this no contact canadien style hockey in the NHL, n the Flyers r the example.

Guys, guess what. PRICE IS STARTING!!! Goodbye 08 dreams. and if price plays good, just forget about this comment, lol

With all due respect to the more objective Flyers fans…

Hockey analysts agreed after the first round that the Flyers were the weakest team remaining in the playoffs. Based upon the games I’ve watched in both the first and second round, I’d have to join in that agreement.

I’ve watched the Habs more or less dominate the Flyers with regard to scoring chances over the past two games. I’ve watched the Habs sustain pressure in the offensive zone and take the play to the Flyers for longish periods of time. But I’ve also watched the Habs miss point blank chances and empty nets far more often than any hockey fan would care to. This is not to take credit away from Biron, who in my opinion, has singlehandedly won the past two games for the Flyers, but rather to shed some light on what has actually been the case in these games. If the Habs convert just one of those scoring chances in each of the last two games and this series is very likely 3-0 for the Habs.

I would only add that Price has disappeared in this series as well. Take away one unfortunate goal per game, and again, this series is very likely 3-0 for the Habs.

But that’s the way that the puck bounces, and that’s sports. And in watching these two teams play in this round, I would only ask which of them cares to go on and get destroyed by the Penguins? Because that’s precisely what’s going to happen to either team.

To 144

Montreal needs more than just praying and luck…even God can’t help them.

To 147

The only reason Montreal had more scoring chances because they were on the power play for the whole of the 3rd period. They might have a chance at beating the Flyers if they get a Power Play for all 3 periods.

My mistake 6 min of power play, n they gave Downie a rough for gettin pounded by 2 canadiens

I would hardly call that “pounded”,cheap shot Downie looked fine to me.Nobody gets pounded much anymore-no more instigator rule-so weasels like Downie,Avery etc. now flourish in this league.

To 147

When the powerplays expired, the Habs continued to carry the play to the Flyers… for longish periods of time. Further, Game 2 was played in the Flyers end more than it was in any other zone, and that had noting to do with the Flyers being shorthanded.

The was I see it, the Flyers have no defense at all. This is no secret – it’s been discussed all season. They can score goals but they can also allow them just as easily, hence the lower seeding. In addition, Biron has never proved himself a go-to goaltender in his career. And while he has risen to the challenge the past two games, he still has a long way to go before he makes a case himself. On that note, the Habs haven’t dome a whole lot to finish their chances on him, so who knows what could have been.

As I said though, either of these teams, the way that they’ve playing, will be embarrassed by Pittsburgh in the ECF. Malkin, Crosby, Sykora, Malone Gonchar… they won’t miss their chances nearly as much. They’ll make either Price or Biron look ordinary.

Lets Go Flyers..it has to be scary that we played our C game and still won.

It’s wierd, TSN says Carbonneau hasn’t made up his mind yet, but NHL.COM Says Price is playing? WTF?!

If the Habs converted half of their scoring chances, it wouldn’t matter who started in goal.

Carbo is a stubborn egotistical moron. Too bad he’ll be the reason the habs lose this series…

Today I got an inside tip.

The Flyers have won their last game…… Let me repeat it for the not so smart Flyer fans that have invaded our blog … THE FLYERS HAVE WON THEIR LAST GAME.

When the Flyers lose the final game of their season in their own rink, see how long it takes for them to scatter like the Dirty Rats they are!!!!!!!!!

Series aint over yet…2004 we were down to a much superior Bruins team and we all know what happened there…

I was listening to a Montreal sports station and this is what Hatcher said:
” If I knew I was going to get 5 minutes for boarding, I would have finished the job”! he should be suspended for those remarks. now he shows us what we already know, that he’s a bully , a piece of **** he is, and one of the dirtyiest players in the league. no wonder the rest of the league hates that team! watch all the suspensions they get next year.

Jack Hab,
U can’t believe this? what do u live in a box? or did u not watch the first three games? wat exactly can u not believe in this article? cuz it’s pretty much dead on.

I sent an email to that piece of **** in Philly: donnels@phillynews.com
told him what I think of that garbage he wrote!

Hatcher has always been a dirty ,tough to play against defenseman,like Pronger and I sure wish we had one or 2 like him.Komo s ok but not near as mean.

Someone check my math for me, but the last time i looked, we split the ‘08 season series with the Pens 4-4…is that right? i KNOW we won the first 4 in a row off them this year…

But of course, there’s this pesky little problem we have from the Great White North, ehh? However, 41 penalties againsty the Good Guys in this series to 18 for The Inhabitants. Kinda weird. Not complaining exactly, just sayin…

We wait ALL YEAR for playoff hockey! Thank GOD none of us are hockey fans living in Chicago or Tampa or Toronto (heh) or even (shudder) Boston!!

Go FlyBOYS!!!

If you are religious,
If you believe fortune telling,
If you believe Feng Sui,
If you are superstitious,
If you believe whatever it says something,

You can just put your faith on Carey Price!!!

Let me make a suggestion ,since we have so many flyers fans aboard and since I know we’re going to win the series ‘HABS”,what does everyone say to humalation a la Kenny vs Spenny style to the loser of every game till series end,eh?The losers must place the humiliation on youtube,come on back your action!

I got a new strategy for a CH victory,whoever has the puck on the way to net, shoot instead of passing. Let the linemates move in for rebounds. And on breakaways, shoot high and slap it instead of wristing. If you don’t score, at least you may ring Biron’ bell.
Montreal 4 – Flyers 1. Les Canadiens sont la!

As far as politics,
GO CANADA GO!
GOS BLESS THE USA!

They need it.

I cannot believe that I am reading Markov bashing. He’s hurt.

Now Kids. Play Nice……………..

S. Lostistyn not 100%, game time decision. Ryder could take his place tonight, and Breezer will play instead of O’Byrne(big mistake).

Montreal Fans should be very careful what they wish for!

They wished to play Boston. Look what happened!

They wished to play Philly. Now look what happening!

DieHard, after mucking around in the pits of Philly-style sports repartie, coming in here and mixin’ it up witchu Red Green types is a welcome break. Since the Pens seem ready to dispatch the hated Rangers, we will (should we be fortunate enough to prevail) also enjoy an intra-state Pennsylvania style gabfest with our Flightless Bird adversaries. Come join the fun if you dare.

Joseph! Mon Dieu…you KNOW my mother??! Hmmm, that explains why she favors hose with those little clippy things on them…and, my friend, her furry little redeye awaits your intimate musings.

Have at it! May Lord Biron of Lac St. Charles (and lifelong Nords fan) evoke the Ghost of Terry Sawchuck tonight and dash the Habs on the rocks of a 3-1 series lead!!

Mark Streit had more points than Chara,Pronger,Jovanovski this year-by your “science” I guess hes a better defenseman than them?!Brisebois was on the ice for both first period goals in game 1-tipped one into his own net because hes too slow to keep up and provided a nice screen on the second-didnt play much after that-thank god.

Hey man believe me Im trying-GOO habbs!!

Ryder will pocket two tonight!!!!!!!!!

To let you know why myself, a Flyers fan, comes here to post, it’s really simple. I go to our opponents’ blogs in every round to let you know why you will lose. I enjoy watching us win and then coming in here to rub it in your french canadian *****-faces. I get off on it if you must know. First round it was the Caps fans. They were funny because they have a really dumb fanbase, most of which did not exist for the better part of this season. You guys have a fanbase, but you are sissies. series goes to 3-1 tonight boys.

See post 190, last scenario. Case and point.

I never bother to enter other’s fan zone.

Just don’t understand these Homeless Orphans all the way bugging here.

GO HABS GO!!!

Technically, posting on here is social, so you can throw away your anti-social misfit theory. I enjoy seeing the other side of these playoff series and what the hell you people are thinking about when you say these games are being called fairly. It’s clear the league is against Philly for the second straight series in a row.

I think Ryder will play pretty good to tonigth, he’s had a long break and everyone else in this series is tired. Ryder has lots of rage and is ready to go!!! Go Habn Go!!!

Hope to see Ryder shinning again!

Hope to see Koivu, Higgins and Ryder line again!!

Hope to see Ak27, Ak46 and TP14 line rocketing again!!!

you think the ;eague is against you? CBC is so antihab it’s unbelievable! try a walk on our side, and see what we have to put up.
But if you think the league is against you, maybe it’s because your players are cheap shot goons. Why do you think all your players were suspended during the season? Is Downie your kind of player? should be in jail!

Downie is a **** distuber. Always has been. As stated earlier, Downie was the hated Canadian player when Team USA lost to Team Canada in the Vancouver World Juniors. He was an instigator, a diver and a drama queen. He still is.

But Flyers fans, love thy enemy when he joins your team.

Whatever, dude. Whatever.
