Why does this stuff always happen at the worst possible time? I think that Komisarek is key to the Habs’ playoff success, so I hope he’s back in the line-up sooner than later.

That being said, Kovalev is in the line-up, as is Price, and I think that the Habs will win tonight. It shouldn’t matter how desperate Boston is right now – they played themselves into the desperate situation that they’re in. So I say take advantage of them, complete the sweep, and secure the higher seeding. After all, this is the time of year when the true character of a team is tested, and I don’t see a whole lot of it on the Bruins squad. So what do the Habs have to show tonight? We’ll find out.

I didn’t want to make any joke on Komi who I like so much. But only few NHL players could injur Komi by body check.
So, from the point that Habs almost clinched to playoff, I wish Guy coach had played a “game” on Komi’s case.

COME KOMI COME!!
GO HABS GO!!!

These injuries will show us if our team can dig down deep and play a strong defensive game. Don’t be surprised in Brisebois gets a goal or two. His problem is he does not play with intensity and therefore makes mental errors. Hopefully he will have his A game in place along with a number of other players who will have to step up to the plate. These injuries could be the best thing that could happened to the team as long as they are back for the playoffs.

I hope I am wrong Don,but I can allways tell when someone thinks someone else is down and out and going to take a big ripping swing at them.Then they will be other teams as well doing the same”Sens “etc. so break out the band aids mon Habitants cause this is going to really suck!

We have 9 defensemen on our roster, and I believe this is the reason by Gainey did not trade any of them because he knew that we could be vulernable if we had any injuries.

“… I can allways tell when someone thinks someone else is down and out”

Personally, I haven’t been in the Bruins’ locker room, so I don’t know what they’re thinking. Although an educated guess would likely suggest something more along the lines of “****, the Habs again”. 10 straight losses to the same team will do that – it gets in your psyche. 1 win in the last 12 trips to the Bell Centre doesn’t help the psyche a lot either.

Here’s to 94 points to top the East.

yeah its me Habman…I like to be right about things when we are winning..but every time ..time and time again..I said HEALTH ..the TEAM with the best HEALTH go farthest in the PLAYOFFS…nobody says nothing…nobody want to talk to “Habman”…he thinks he knows everything…On the contrary..I try to make common sense!…..go on with your “after thoughts” say your THING…seeya

PEACE
All the best to KOMI…hope we bring some BIRON OF BEEF.another prediction from “Habman may come true!

Hows it going Habman?

Its going all right, I hope everyone on here is doing fine..im here to get along…dont attack me for my opinion…we all have them
Some of you guys should spend some time on the CBC blogs and debate with some of the current issues too..then you understand what free speech is about..check it out sometime f you have time..
My motto fot his years Habs fot the playoffs..you “hit” you “fight” you “WIN”

I like “hablifiers ‘ comments..they are true, either you step it up and fill the gaps or you “pop” like balloon

iT’S GOING TO BE A GOOD 3RD…Poor Leaf fans,lol

ill see ya after we WIN!

Whats up with the “no calls” it’s the “Kerry Fraser show!”

Well I would say they most of the players step up and played a good game, Price was very good when he needed to be, great in the SO.

I was hoping Gorges would have got his first, real good move by Carbo to let him play in that overtime…and when he does get his first, well you guys that played know what its all about…

Hey Hablifer, well be finally came out in the first period with a strong effort right off the bat, unfortunately we had a little let down in the second but we played a strong third period and the last 10 min we should have scored 3-4 goals. Last week I said the 94 points should be enough to secure a playoff spot. Well were there and thanks to our beloved leafs, they put it to the senators tonight which gives us some breathing room at the top of our division.

And as a token of my appreciation to the “leafs”…..I will not rake my lawn this spring!, until we win the STANLEY CUP!

Habman, I would suggest you send them a couple dozen used golf balls as well.

Georges didn’t get a point but I would give him 1st Star!!! He was amazing!!!

I agree Gorge played a good game and got plenty of icetime. I thought Carbo showed a lot of confidence in him.

Amen to Habz-4-U. This is quite a nice change from scrambling for seventh or eighth spot. Further, it shows that this organization is committed to winning, unlike another organization out there which seems more concerned with selling delusional goggles to its fanbase. Seriously, it’s so much nicer to be waiting and hoping to see if this is the season that your team will win it all rather than waiting and hoping to see if your team will merely beat one of its archrivals in yet another one of its fruitless, late season surges.

Now, it’s time to break the curse that Ottawa seems to have on the Habs. They are not a confident hockey club as of late, and there’s no time better than tomorrow night to put them in the rearview mirror for good.

Well I for one have been waiting for someone to say what Habz-4-U just said above, should have said it myself, but recently I was accused of being a newby so I didn’t say it. I am glad to see that Joseph also agrees. So thanks guys for saying that should have been said long ago.

Now for Ottawa, I believe that you will see a new game plan against Ottawa tomorrow night. We may or may not win the game but the coaches will be trying to find an answer to deal with their style of play which we seem to have trouble with, think about it, we have trouble with skating teams that also have quite a few scoring stars on their team. Ottawa, Washington, Pittsburg yet these same teams have trouble against teams that we seem to dominate. The simple fact is we are a skating team as well, and I think because of that we tend to play a wide open game against these teams, I think we have to come up with a more complete forechecking plan that incorporates more defense into our game plan. We may have to win this game using our power play rather than our five on five scoring.

The trap may work, but Ottawa has been used to breaking the trap and most teams can devise ways to deal with the trap, to make it work we have to use our speed and our forechecking ability. I believe the key is our speed because Ottawa has speed too and we need to force them to give away the puck by forcing it to the outside in the neutral zone.
I believe that is the reason we have been successful against Jersey who are the best trapping team in the league. Our speed does not allow them to set up the trap. With Ottawa speed on the forecheck will hopefully force them to cough up the puck. Shutting down the first line is key but many times the move Alfredson to their second line and so we have to be prepared for two scoring lines.
