Habs / Flyers: Game 5
-
The Philadelphia Flyers can eliminate the 1st seed Montreal Canadiens from the Stanley Cup Playoffs tonight with a win in Montreal.
The Canadiens problems in this series have been well chronicled and they have the large task of winning the next 3 games in order to advance.
Is it such a huge task? The Capitals sent their series with Philly to 7 after being down 3-1. The Bruins sent the series with the Habs to 7 after being down 3-1. The Habs have recently won a series against the Bruins in 2004 from the same 3-1 hole.
The Canadiens have won 3 straight games 6 times this year.
Is it that impossible?
Don’t think for a second the Flyers are not well aware of this.
You can pull up all the stats and superstitious games and series of the past to convince yourself the Canadiens can and will comeback. But the players are the ones who will decide it on the ice.
Who wants it more?
Carey Price will start. Despite his struggles in this series.
This is the right choice.
Carey Price had his share of ugly moments in the Habs & Bruins series. When it all came down to game 7 and big pressure, Price played terrific and earned a 5-0 shutout victory.
Price is a pressure goaltender.
Should the unthinkable happen, and the Flyers eliminate the Canadiens in 5 games. Carey Price needs to be in the net experiencing what that is like. No one else. Price is the goaltender of the future and he will be getting a huge dose of experience tonight, win or lose.
The Canadiens have gone down 2-0 in all 4 games of the series. The slightest thing like scoring first could be what propels them to 3 straight wins.
One goal at a time, one game at a time.

Habs 8 -Flyers 1
May 3, 2008 pm31 1:54 pm
We will see why Price was chosen the Habs No. 1 goalie.
May 3, 2008 pm31 3:06 pm
Put Ryder and O’Byrn in tonite to add some muscle. No Beezer tonite.
Habs 4 - Flyers 1 with Canadiens scoring first 2 goals.
May 3, 2008 pm31 3:38 pm
Ryder is the next Ribeiro.
I feel a win tonight.
May 3, 2008 pm31 3:53 pm
I have a good feeling about us tonight,I think it is how we win that will foreshadow how we do tomorrow-GO HABS.
May 3, 2008 pm31 3:55 pm
How bout the next LeClair?Though not a 50 goal man,but I bet he provides another team with a 25-30 goal man-i.e-LeClair on a smaller scale.
May 3, 2008 pm31 4:25 pm
I Guess the Flyer Fans will be in here if they are leading.
Go Price……. Go Habs………..
May 3, 2008 pm31 5:39 pm
Habs will fall today like a drop of rain
May 3, 2008 pm31 6:04 pm
Oh, I’m here now, fools. I see you still have your predictions of some outrageous ‘8-1′ win with absolutely no objective argument to support it. We’ll probably just grind it out with good old fashioned hockey for the fourth game in a row. I’ll be back after we score the first goal…or maybe after we score the second. We’ll see.
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:20 pm
ohhhhhh yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You’re a poor sport.
Just make sure that you pop round if the Flyers should lose. I wouldn’t want you to duck out on personal accountability or anything.
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:26 pm
Nice one Joseph,heh heh
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:26 pm
I’m here too!
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:30 pm
I think the Habs will win 256-0. O-*** O-*** O-*** o-***!
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:33 pm
Oh NO!!!!! Okay how about 256-1.
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:35 pm
ohhhhh yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flyers~0cupsin35years,YOUR ***?
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:41 pm
Refs blowing this one again, r u kidding me w/ that first penalty, n if your gonna call that u gotta call Price punching the guy in the bak of the head which would negate that first goal. I guess i can’t expect much though against montreal, my pops whos 60 years old says montreal has gotten calls like this ever since he started watching hockey, no wonder they won 24 stanley cups, they got the sixth man, n it aint the fans.
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:41 pm
all i know is that the habs finally came to plaay tonight!
and we are going all the way to game 7!!
GO HABS.. 8-1 i think so!
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:44 pm
No i’m not ***! I’d be an habs fan if I was ***!
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:45 pm
I FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR FAMILY’S IGNORANCE !
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:47 pm
Oh ,yer in the closet ***,lol
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:55 pm
Wow pure ignorance from pops and sonny boy.
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:56 pm
Come on now…. If I were really ***, Id be a Leafs fan!
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:58 pm
Is it possible to get rid of the twelve-year-old Flyers fans in here? They give the more objective Flyers fans a bad name. Disgraceful.
More importantly, a much better effort in executing by the Habs tonight. They outchanced the Flyers 10-2 in the first period (what else is new) and it’s good to see them finally reap some rewards for it. I’ve one criticism though. They’ve got to stop shooting low on Biron all the time. He’s been taking away shots along the ice throughout this series. Shoot high!
Price looks like Price tonight. Umberger made a great play on that goal.
May 3, 2008 pm31 7:58 pm
Don Cherry ,do that suit clap on?
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:01 pm
Price made a good save. Hamburger got lucky just as the Flyers has been in every game this series….

You’re not only ignorant, you’re a whining crybaby, and you bring nothing substantial to the discussions in here. Revisit what I originally posted to you in the previous blog. Go find another hobby, and take your offensive screen name and your ‘Incompetent Ref Card’ with you. Enough.
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:05 pm
You wouldn’t be here at all tonight if you did not score.
Well, I guess you would. You would have to blame the Refs.
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:05 pm
They should shine a light on Cherry’s Jacket. It would blind Biron!!!!
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:06 pm
These idiots play such a crucial role in our society, don’t they? They’re nothing but a cancer.
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:16 pm
Every call.
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:17 pm
Has montreal ever had more penalties than an opponenet, or is it just against the flyers.
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:19 pm
Have you looked up ‘ignorant’ in the dictionary yet?
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:20 pm
lol
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:20 pm
LOL Joesph! You can step down from your hockey god soapbox now.
Guess why Flyers Fans are here… Maybe it’s because after game 1 we had more Habs fans on OUR boards with absoultely no hockey knowledge. (by the way what happen to the Habs sweep)
So I’m here life or die to make sure I personally piss you off!
Hugs and kisses Joey!
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:23 pm
oohhhhh yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!8 HOLE ,LOL
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:23 pm
Who did pops blame that goal on?
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:24 pm
five more goals cmon boys i want 8-1 less goo
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:30 pm
what’d pops have to say about that awful 5-3 call?
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:33 pm
Habs are going to win in 7!
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee,
Greenest state in the land of the free.
Raised in the woods so’s he knew every tree,
Killed him a bear when he was only three.
Davy, Davy Crockett King of the Wild Frontier.
Fought single handed through the Injun war,
Till the Creeks was whipped and peace was restored.
And while he was handling this risky chore,
Made himself a legend, forevermore.
Davy, Davy Crockett the man who don’t know fear.
He went of to Congress and served a spell
Fixin’ up the government and laws as well.
Took over Washington, I heard tell,
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell.
Davy, Davy Crockett, seein’ his duty clear.
When he come home, his politickin’ was done,
While the western march had just begun.
So he packed his gear, and his trusty gun
And let out a grinnin’ to follow the sun.
Davy, Davy Crockett, Leadin the Pioneer.

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee,
Greenest state in the land of the free.
Raised in the woods so’s he knew every tree,
Killed him a bear when he was only three.
Davy, Davy Crockett King of the Wild Frontier.
He fought single handed through the Injun war,
Till the Creeks was whipped and peace was restored.
And while he was handling this risky chore,
Made himself a legend, forevermore.
Davy, Davy Crockett the man who don’t know fear.
When he lost his love, and his grief was gall,
In his heart he wanted to leave it all,
And lose himself in the forest tall,
But he answered instead, his country’s call.
Davy, Davy Crockett, the choice of the whole frontier
He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixin’ up the government and laws as well.
Took over Washington, so we hear tell,
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell.
Davy, Davy Crockett, seein’ his duty clear. (Serving his country well)
When he come home, his politickin’ done,
The western march had just begun.
So he packed his gear, and his trusty gun
And lit out a grinnin’ to follow the sun.
Davy, Davy Crockett, Leadin the Pioneers.
His land is biggest, and his land is best
From grassy plains to the mountain crest
He’s ahead of us all in meeting the test
Followin’ his legend right into the West
Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wide Frontier
King of the Wild Frontier.

Call yer Pops up and ask him who your real dad is ?your son should know his true grandaddy,lol
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:42 pm
I would say 5-6 Flyers. This is going to be high scoring. Price looks better but he is leaving huge rebounds. Biron looks a little shaky too.
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:43 pm
Score

Ya maybe the habs could beat the idiots 8-4 who post on this website. That might be your best call of the day.
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:54 pm
Speaking of clowns… have you seen Carbonneau’s lucky tie

Maybe Frog… but not this series
May 3, 2008 pm31 8:59 pm
Hey guys, just checking in for a second. I have company over, so I haven’t read any of the posts.
I just wanted to interject and ask for positive energy for the 3rd period. Are you wearing your Canadiens t-shirt, jersey, or ball cap? If not, why not?
Go Habs Go! I still have faith!!!

Just so I’m clear. You took it upon yourself to stoop to the level of those uneducated folks that came to your boards. And that makes you better than them of course.
You’re one of them.
Incidentally, I never said anything about a sweep. In fact, I didn’t even predict a win, so you can save your nonsense, punky.

Convenient how you failed to mention where in the U.S. Umberger is from - the better half of the state. That’s right, my home town.

Can U believe this?
Yes. The Flyers are playing their best game of this series, in my opinion. And Price still has a ways to go before he’s an accomplished playoff goaltender.
May 3, 2008 pm31 9:09 pm
He looked solid in the first, but a couple of goals and he’s rattled again.
May 3, 2008 pm31 9:10 pm
whats up with this price kids glove side did he have problems during the season? He is really having some problems. has he always been week on the glove side.
May 3, 2008 pm31 9:12 pm
His glove hand is rattled. The rest of him is fine.

pop goes the weasel philly fans:
Pop Goes The WeaselAntoine, Antoine`s got something here
Ro-roll that window
We have to turn around because I want to shoot you
Park the limousine, in front of the swamp
Then I want to shoot you dauncing on the limousine
with the swamp in the background
It looks like you`re in the jungle, okay?
Let`s all sing, Pop Goes the Weasel!
[Pete Nice]
Pop goes the, pop goes the windin of the weasel
I see the empty pocket needs a refill
[MC Serch]
I got a squad with a list of complainers
I should have started RAPE:
Rappers Against Phony Entertainers
So we can make it known that we won`t get swayed
It`s ninety-one son, so somethin`s gotta change
[Pete Nice]
Gettin paid to peddle sneakers and soda pop (pop pop pop)
Pop goes the weasel as drawers drop (drop drop dop)
Why not take your top ten pop hit
fix the music and make senseless ryhmes fit
[MC Serch]
I guess it`s the fact that you can`t be artistic
Intricate raps, becomin so simplistic
I gotta strong mind it doesn`t have to be spoon-fed
And I can read what doesn`t have to be read
[Pete Nice]
So some stay illiterate and feeble, legally licked
You go the ways of the weasel (the weasel)
Chorus: 3rd Bass (repeat 2X)
Pop Pop goes the weasel, the weasel *3X*
Pop goes the weasel, `cuz the weasel goes pop
[MC Serch]
Hip-hop, got turned into hit pop
the second a record was number one on the pop charts
For those that get on heart that gotta in the ghetto
Let no one forget about the hard part
Now in ninety-one we got a new brand, a new band
lookin like the same old Klan
Same old theives that skeez so we gotta make sure
that real rap has got to endure
[Pete Nice]
Why score all my points in one peroid
Appearin in complex structure like a pyramid
The paper for the media presence
Ya learn lesson from the face of false legend
Stop vexin on the skills, ya ain`t originate
The thin ice you skate upon will break and set ya straight
Ate up on the plate, now who`s diesel
Not the weasel, not the weasel, pop goes the weasel
Chorus
[Serch] Ya stole somebody`s record then ya looped it, ya looped it
[Pete] Ya boosted the record then ya looped it, ya looped it
[Serch] Aiyyo, I came from Cali, and they hooped it, they hooped it
[Pete] But now you`re getting sued kinda stoopid
[MC Serch]
Boosted tracks get slaps, ya got no haps
to reach all four corners of the map
For kids in Kansas.. to those who speak Spanish
Doin crazy damage so the wack gets banished
Can`t manage the truth until you buy a way
Ya ain`t quick so ya switch off the exit from my highway
to rest but a crook, had to take a second look
Ever heard of a chef who can`t cook?
But the Minister Prime can lay laws
Hey yo, Pete Nice, rip the mic and go for yours
[Pete Nice]
Goes for mine, I goes for mine
Find the Prime won`t eat the green eggs and swine
On line like the Serch, in the hoody with the woody
Get a disc or tape, at Sam Goody
Why`d ya run through the doors some left open?
Ropin off the scenes of the crime smokin
I got pub and I`ma nut like a SCUD see
Blowin up, like I`m throwin up a beef patty
Sell-outs run a bout like the measles
No cures, cause pop goes the weasels
May 3, 2008 pm31 9:20 pm
This is by far the most entertining game of the series. I could go for OT.
May 3, 2008 pm31 9:26 pm
Im sorry price is not fine, The habs have played great and he has killed them. They have had to work so hard to stay in this series because of him.
May 3, 2008 pm31 9:32 pm

May 3, 2008 pm31 9:49 pm
Who would have thought, FLyers lok it up before the Allmighty Pitt can. Whelp habs fan it’s been real. Hope no one has any hard feelings about the comments i posted, n if u do too bad. Officially signing off, See ya next year, If u can get there.
May 3, 2008 pm31 9:49 pm
I expect the Habs to be much more competitive next season based on this experience.

Stat - Only the 4th time in NHL history that a team got swept during the reguler season and beat that team in the playoffs
May 3, 2008 pm31 9:55 pm
Joe,
True but going from the worst team in the NHL and beating the Habs and making it to the semis is pretty fun. I believe that`s only been done two others times since the 79′80 merger. Correct me if I`m wrong
May 3, 2008 pm31 9:55 pm
Joe, as long as Montreal has Carbo, this team will go no where. Carbo got lucky in the reg. season. He down squat in the playoffs.
My Hockey watching is over for this year.
I HOPE THE FLYERS BEAT PITTS….
May 3, 2008 pm31 9:55 pm
You know where the Habs fans went…to the bathroom to get rid of that ****** feeling that we here in Philly know all so well…lol
