I think Price is too young. Flyers won their 2 games in Philly vs the Caps. not looking good for the habs. If you struggle so much at home, how can you win a series?
Its al tied relax band wagon jumpers , we out played them … Price was not in the game thats the only problem we had, Biron was good tonight … so its all tied thats all , back to square one
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.
We Philly fans know better than to get cocky. We’re a lunch-pail team, as you can see, not slick like the Habs. We like to grind and we did some serious grinding tonight.
Were you guys playing only 3 lines tonight? Are your older stars going to wear down? We had four lines working and we’re a young team…
Lot of hockey left to play. Playoff hockey is AWESOME, no?
and how come the habs are always asleep to start every game? when are they going to start a game strong????? Even Cherry noticed that. Unfortunately he didn’t watch most of the habs games, or he would know that the habs NEVER start strong!
Game 1 against the B’s two goals 34 seconds, thought we were on our way, I still think we are and Monday night’s game will show just hoe good the Habs really are…
We need to win the next game so as not to give the flyers any momentum. If we can steal 1 game in Philly, maybe we’ll win, but it’s going to take 7 games.
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.
we need a lineup change for next game. take out Dandy, and insert Ryder, because the 4th line is invisible. And where is Plekanec in the playoffs? AWOL!
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”.
Never mind the disgruntled Bruins fans who can`t seem to stop hanging around, licking their wounds and whining in public, Xtrahabsfan. They`re a waste of time. Tony from NB and BruinsFan are exceptions to this rule, of course.
Nice to see some more objective Flyers fans in here tonight.
This could also be an abbreviated series either way. Either Biron will continue to rise to the occasion and Price will continue to play subpar, or Price will rebound as he did in the first round and start stoning the Flyers.
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.
HabsLoseAgain : He is a ufa if I am not mistaken. Seems to be having a good playoff so far.
HabsLoseAgain : Wonder if marc bergevin with his old Chicago ties might be able to bring bickell on board. He would be just what the habs are looking for imo
HabsLoseAgain : Not sure if this has been discussed already but what does everyone think of roland melanson coming out and say how prices game has fallen apart since he was let go by the habs. Does not really say much when he is the goalie coach for the canucks in my opinion
Senet1 : Signing Drewiske may tell us that there are plans to remove Diaz, Weber and maybe even Markov. Drewiske did not have enough time to learn our defensive system and I am thinking that he was signed because they feel he can be a good defenceman for us with time to learn the system. It also tells me that probably only one of the young D-men will make our team that being Tinordi. Beaulieau will probably play (start) in Hamilton.
Mats Naslund : Habs sign Davis Drewiske to a 2 year extension. He basically makes league minimum. I like the signing. Nothing exciting - but you want him to hold the last spot until a young guy forces his way onto the roster.
Mats Naslund : Hey everyone, HB has deleted the previous messages in order to get rid of spam. I'll post to get things back up and running.. PK Subban - Norris winner. Thoughts?

Price realy was not in his game tonight

Unless habs get the lead in the next game, it’s over.

Thats right we out played them with ease .. we need Price to play his kind of game
April 26, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Price’s worst game to date…
He WILL be back though.
The theme overall seems to me that the Canadiens have played 1/10th of how they can and are tied 1-1 and in this one until nearly the end….
Frustrating to see but the Flyers haven’t impressed me any way whatsoever other than Biron tonight..
April 26, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Price played lousy in the 1st game too. When’s he going to play well? when we’re down 3-1 in the series?
April 26, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Come on, bandwagoners… this is why they play the games, and this is why it’s fun to watch. And I feel as confident in this Montreal team as ever.
April 26, 2008 at 9:46 pm

outplaying a team means nothing, if you can’t score. It’s only the score that counts!
April 26, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Fairweather pessimist “fans” out tonight…same as game 4,5,6 in Round 1 ….
April 26, 2008 at 9:47 pm
And if you watched their series against Washington, you’ll know that this is about all that they have to bring.
April 26, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Never ceases to amaze
April 26, 2008 at 9:48 pm
later guys see ya Monday

Ya Ryder going to score goals and get into fights and win them too,I don’t think so,Latendresse is the way to go and Stewart or Chipchura….
April 26, 2008 at 11:42 pm
I agree, Latendresse needs to be inserted…. and as rhabs4real asked, where is Plekanec, we need both these guys.
April 27, 2008 at 12:04 am
The Canadiens again were Priceless, wow that Biron I havent watched the Flyers much being a Bruins fan but he is awsome.
April 27, 2008 at 12:14 am

this looks to be a long series habs, or the beginning of the end. 6 games will shadow the truth.

Joseph!!! I thought I lost you forever. Ying to Yang and all of that prophecy **** and whatever.

have you seen my earlier questions about the Montreal chants?
April 27, 2008 at 12:39 am
What do they mean? I have noticed quite a few teams with thier own “chant” this year. Including the Flyers…where did this originate?
April 27, 2008 at 12:43 am
F@ckinliars,you just figure out your slow and overwhelmed team of wanna be thugs won,enjoy it while it last…to bad its over…
