Habs / Flyers: Game 3

Is game 3 the game the Canadiens finally show up?

The game where Carey Price returns to form?

Where the Habs perhaps not fall behind 2-0 on weak goals for the third time?

Will there be fallout from the ‘taunting’, ‘sucker punch’ and John Stevens perpetual whining?

The Canadiens will be trailing in a series for the first time if they don’t come up with a road win tonight.

All the ingredients for this series to finally heat up are there.

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.

portly, I imagine that the main focus of Penguin fan jabbing would be one Sidney Crosby, no?

You recognize the quote I assume. No harm meant of course.

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 have never visited the fan site of the opposition either, but to each their own I guess.

Some of them are cool cats.

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!!!

I disagree. Many, not all, use the internet because they’re no good in real life. A telltale sign is usually projected anger and insults.

And what did you expect to find in the opinions of fans of the other team? A bias toward their team perhaps? Well, surprise. Just as you are biased toward yours.

Back to my original point. You know that you’ll meet resistance in bringing your insults to another team’s fan site, so you come to troll. Congratulations. That’s good stuff.

With regard to the officiating, a Flyers fan called in on NHL Live today and said that what Flyers fans need to consider is the fact the many of the NHL’s rules were written because of the Flyers. So of course they’re going to get called on them.

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

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

Well, then I guess we are seeing the death of old time hockey. The games should still be called the same no matter who is playing.

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!

That I agree with. They should be called the same. And further, I despise most of the new rules. Hockey is a physical game, or at least, it used to be. But now it’s being metrosexualized and morphed into a more suitable form of family entertainment. I suppose that’s the inevitable fate of any successful sport in North America – it has to appeal to casual fans.

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.

Price embellished the **** out of that trip. Plus, any instance of a trip was in retaliation to one of your guys hitting Marty on the the other end just before that play. Then he gets mauled by two frenchies in the corner without throwing a punch and got the roughing and the trip resulting in a two minute 5 on 3. we killed it anyway because we’re a better team.

goalie : Didn't get to see the game at all but it's great to see Pacs get a hat trick and fpor Cole to be + 3. When was the last time this team won three games in a row? Great victory -looks like they're giving 100% effort!
Senet1 : 4-2 win habs
Senet1 : Gomez scores, Yea!!!
goalie : As I said yesterday it will be interesting to see what our lame ass GM gets for players he ships out. Bourque is good and he'll help us but I still think we could have gotten more for him and for Halak when he was traded.
Avatar37 : round those picks occur (probably 3rd).
Avatar37 : An interesting article. If we slip to the 5th or 7th draft pick, a very interesting case could be made for drafting Galchenyuk. If we wind up with the second or third pick, I'm not sure who I'd draft, because clearly Yakupov is going to be drafted first overall. Our second round pick also becomes interesting, I know I'd take Vasilevski if he were still available. It will also be interesting to see if we can turn some of our veteran players (Moen, Gill, Campoli) into draft picks, and what
Avatar37 : «link»
Avatar37 : That is why PG should have waited on trading Cammalleri. Right now, there is a high demand for a top 6 forward, we could have gotten much more than Bourque in return. That isn't a knock against Bourque, but a knock against a knee-jerk reaction trade that didn't maximize our return on a top asset.
Avatar37 : «link»
Avatar37 : chips fall where they may. After all, the only difference between finishing 17th and 29th is how good a pick you get in the draft.
Avatar37 : We currently sit in 26th place in the league. We are 15 points ahead of Columbus, it's safe to bet at this point they will place last. We are, however, only 4 points ahead of Edmonton so it's still wide open as to who is going to finish second last. I still think that it's time to sit the veterans, play the youth, let them get experience, and regroup for next year. I'm not suggesting deliberately tanking like the Penguins, but give all our young players lots of playing time and let the c
Avatar37 : goalie - If it were not for the play of Cammalleri, we would never have made it out of round 1. Cammalleri played as big a part, if not bigger, than Halak did. Sure, Halak played well, but remember the team collapsed in front of him, making his job much easier. We had lots of blocked shots and the ones that got through were typically from the outside.
Senet1 : Goalie you are absolutely right, of course the one thing we had the two previous years that won the games that we are losing this year was our power play. If you look at say 10 games that we should have won had we had a similar power play, again we would not be having these conversations. When your PP goes from first to last in the league that is a lot of goals.How many games have we lost this year by one goal. Again poor management who did not prepare for Markov's possible absence.
goalie : I'll put it another way.... we need more players who are willing to get their noses dirty.
goalie : Two years ago when our goaltending stole series adn our players suddenly scored the coaches / GM believed that that was our true team . Well time has proven that was not. Though I was very glad to see the Habs knock off some very good teams we were very fortunate. And fortunate that spring was spelled HALAK!
goalie : The wrst mistake management could possibly make I believe is to say, we played well some games and we believe the team can play to that level more often in the future. This team CANNOT adnb DOES NOT play to a high enough level. Please do not kid yourself mamngement. hat is partially why we're in the lace we are.
goalie : Senet is correct when he says that if we had more games with a better efort this year we'd likely be in the playoffs. It has been very inconsistent effort but much more than that. We lack big, tough playing and finishing. Never mind fighting for a moment. We did not compete for the pucks nor along the boards nor in front of both nets enough this year. Thus we are in 29th. If the coaching staff doesn't see that then they shouldn't be there.
Senet1 : Surely Molson is not going to keep him as the GM?
Senet1 : when he knows he will be fired at the end of the season. Nothing really makes since in this whole process.
Senet1 : I am not sue why PG has not been fired by now. They could be waiting for another GM to come available at season end, but why would you not set up a committee to manage the team in the short run until a new GM can be named. There is no since in chaning coaches because whoever the GM is he will want to name his own coach. Gainey and a committe of other executives can manage the team through to the trading deadline and onward. What motivation does PG have to making any worthwhile trades when he is
Senet1 : I am too mch of a competitor to want my team to tank to. However, If these players played like they ae cabable of playing all year we would not be having this discussion right now, we woud be talking about the playoffs and who we would rather meet in the first round.
rocky : Exactly, and Senet nails it when he says we have not had an elite top 5 in the nhl player since lafleur.
goalie : I too want the Habs to get the best possible draft this June. We all need SOME hope!
rocky : He is persona non grata in habville, and a ghost in every sense of the term.
goalie : It remains a miracle how we have heard from our mighty GM twice since Christmas - the trades involving Spacek and Cammy and those comments were extremely brief. PG just does not cut it in my world. Part of a GMs job is to go public from time to time. PG never does that in fact he's a ghost GM!
rocky : Its true, there is no honor in that. These guys have only known the ethic of giving it all to win every night. I do not want them to "tank", and they will never do that anyway. I do want them to lose though, as awful as it sounds.
goalie : Roicky as a good point. We all want the Habs to get a really good draft pick. However, players, coaches etc. also have a keen desire to compete and win. That's why they're playing at the pro level. Thus we can only hope that the team plays some good games and let the chips fall where they may. After the disasterous season we've had let's not lower ourselves adn get involved in any dscussions about 'tanking' games.
rocky : So long.
Senet1 : Good discussion rocky, I have to step out for an hour, but may be back later.
Senet1 : The only way this team comes back to a team with long term potential is to draft a game breaker. Even all the other bad teams have a Stamkos or a player like him. He have some good player so what we need is a Malkin that we can count on 80% of the time to win a game for us.
rocky : I mean winning will only do them harm that is.
rocky : It really hurts because my reflexes make me want to cheer like mad, but it will only hurt the team now.
Senet1 : Yes I have mixed feeling when watching the game. Last night I say here we go again. with our record of shoot losses I did not expect to win that one. Yet I wanted to win real bad?????
rocky : God, so horrible to sit and hope for losses, but here we are.
Senet1 : Our problem is we play one out of every 4 games good and therefore, we play well enough to stay on the borderline of a top five pick. If we win three or four in a row we could take ourselves right out of the running.
