The 5th goal will always be my favorite. Gawd I love watching the Bruins lose.

Senet, I’m actually an Avalanche Fan (formerly a Nordique fan)Although not a Bruins fan, I think I’m a little more in Tune as to how they operate as I am from Boston. They are owned by the jacobs family who really are more concerned with consession sales at the TD Banknorth Garden rather than putting a decent product on the ice. As far as them being an 8th string and not knowing much about hockey, I do know that pretty much everyone gets in, and when you are number 8 and fight to get that spot all year… your probably not a threat.. make sense?

Frog ,NOW your blaming the Jacobs family”jewish” give it up allready man and stop blaming other folks man,look its simple ,your team stunk up the joint tonite,period,lol

Frog:

You’re as classless as the fans that booed the anthem for th mere reason that you’re in here talking about it and taking your own shots… at a bunch of fans that weren’t even at the game booing the anthem. Not too smart either.

Here’s an idea: get the f**k out of here and find something better to do. Life is short.

Way to go, Habs! I guess that you answered a lot of questions tonight with regard to the past two or three games. You were asleep.

Go Habs GO….GO Habs Go…..ole ole ole ole ole ole ole ole ole ole ole ole ole ole

How come BarrieHabsfan hasn’t posted yet? Does he know we won tonight? Does anyone have his number? I wonder if he still has a seat on the wagon?

Joseph, how do you like them ribs? LOL I just read your open letter and I was laughing so hard I was crying. Love your sense of humour dude!

Xtrahabs fan… You really must be an idiot! I’m not a Bruins fan… I could care less that they lost. I’m an Avalanche Fan… You know that team from your province you could not keep (afford), and it took them to come to America to win a couple of cups.. You know quebec, your fellow countrymen that like it so much in your province/country they want to secede.

Senet 1. For Folks like you I’m happy. I guess all teams have fans that are idiots I.E Xtrahabsfan.. Good luck to you though. It would be nice to see an old adams division team win.

No offense taken, Xtrahabsfan. To tell you the truth, I really wish that they’d do away with the national anthem thing altogether so we wouldn’t have to contend with the nonsense that comes along with it. These are franchises, loaded with mostly Canadian and European players, and not Team Canada versus Team U.S.A.

That said, they do something impressive in Buffalo. Not too sure if many peope know about it, but they sing the Canadian anthem even when the Sabres are playing another American franchise.

They should do it in Detroit too,lol,it used to be a Canadian city.

All righty now,round 2,bring it…go habs go…

Carbo should have used his brain earlier…

Tony from NB, just wanted say HELLO to you as we promised right after the Game 1.

By the way, believe or not, out of Boston area, the largest Bruins fan base is in Greater Montreal area…

Carbo did what he had to do tonight, it was hard to do it earlier because Koivu was not playing, and as far as motivating Kovalev, Carbo did it at the right time, when the game was on the line. That is a smart coach, if you do it too early then it become old hat and players stop listening to you. He made all the right moves at the right time and consequently we are going on to the second round.

There was only one thing that bothered me about tonights game, it was the worst game of the series for Brisebois, he made some terrible decisions with the puck tonight and it reminded me why we let him go a few years ago. Overall he played a good series better than I expected, I only hope that his bad passing tonight goes away before the next game.

habs4life, I am not sure what you mean by trade for Price, because if you are saying that Gainey should trade Price that would be the worst move any GM could make. Everyone know that you go absolute nowhere in the playoffs without a great goaltender. Most Teams like to build from the net out, and if you got a goalie like Price he is the last player any GM should trade.

Stength up the middle starts with the goalie. Now that the Habs have a decent team we may be able to convince a few UFA to come our way. To me will still need a number one centre and If I were drafting that is what I would be looking for, tha and another big mobile defenseman and a power forward who can skate. That is my wish list, Oh one other thing at least two of the three would be Canadian boys.

Joseph, I thought Komisarek played his best game tonight, he looks like he is almost back to full strenght. He was skating better tonight and hitting better and his shot blocking also improved. Good to see he is ready to play for the second round, NOW if we could get Markov playing a little more steady. I thought Hamrlik was our best defenceman overall in the series, but he did look a little tired at the end of the last few games. These next couples of days off should help him and Steit too. He played a better game tonight, and it looks like his hip may be coming around as well. Overall, all the injuried players who came back looked strong tonight, that bodes well for the next round.

Here I am for those of you who want to know.

Great Game Habs. Carey Price is Da Man.

Yes, Carbo Is Still An Idiot………

rhabs4real, I was reading your earlier blog, I guess you questions were answered. Carbo made the key changes to his lineup, sometimes it is not the players that need to be changed it is the rotation of the players. I thought the Kost brothers especially Sergie played tough all night, he played that way in London Junior A so he knows how to play it tough and agressive. Andre not so tough, but when he plays with his kid brother he seems to play better. Plex, all he needed was to realize that Kovaleve was not there to help and he played extremely well to me the last three games but needed some help that he did not get from Kovalev.

As far as O’Byrne is concerned he will see some action again in the next series, but I agree with Carbo, I would go with experience. Same goes for Latendresse he actually had his chance is did not show most of the time so he needs a wakeup call and not in a game seven. What has Dandeneault has played well, he scored a key goal and has played well defensively. Like Steit Dandenault is valuable because he can play both forward and defense, so if you get in trouble back on the blue line you have someone to move back if needed. Dandenault is not there to score goals, and he steadys Lappiere’s line. I cannot think of one player I would have put in the lineup that was not already there tonight. Ryder got sat out and then played again and he did nothing, not everyone can play on the first two lines and I liked what I saw on those two lines tonight. If Ryder does come back in the next series, he needs to show the coach that it does not matter what line he is one he will play hard, something he did not do when he came back after being sat out.

PISSED OFF HABS FAN, I guess it is hard for some fans to just understand good coaching, Carbo may not be the best coach but he is getting better and he made all the right moves tonight. He used the right players, he motivated them in the proper way and he got his defense to move the puck better out of their own end again. For a Habs fan you should be anything but pissed off, but then again, I expect you did not feel we had a chance to win tonight. I can always tell the true habs fans by their blogs, because as much as we all want to see our team play better, the ones who are true habs fans show faith in their team and their coach.

habs4life, thanks for clearing that up about Price, I must have missed the blog last night. You are right about that, everyone in the league know about this kid now. To me the media made such a big deal that he had given up 10 goals in the last two games, an when you looked at the game six replays he had absolutely no change on any of those goals.

habs4life, you know the big kick out got out of that line switch was that Koivu took Chara in the Boards about three times tonight, and he had Chara so focused on him that he forgot about Kovalev. I have to give out captain some credit he made a big difference tonight and everyone seemed to play better and follow his lead.

Well I got a date to play goal tomorrow with the Bruind LOL. so I better get to bed.
