Don’t get fooled by the so-called stats or data, please, especially to the rookie (to playoff)coach Carbo. Never repeat the same stupid mistake encore.

Just play like Habs!!!

Big congrats to Carbo and the boys on a well-played first round; I have high hopes for round two.

GO HABS GO!

This is going to be a killer physical series and we have to play our bigger ,younger players”O’bryne,Lats and Stewart etc.Now knowing Carbo,that’s not what he’s going to do,he’s going to go for speed.And that will probably work in game one but as Philly pounds at the Habs and adapts like Boston did we ‘re goina have to toughen up,bigtime. GO HABS GO….

But here’s the thing Joseph,Washington had the best player in hockey to make it O so close,the Habs don’t,not to mention the Caps were the hottest team going into the play-off’s,scorching,plus allmost does not count,lol.

I agree with post #5. The last sentence is Questionable?

Washington did come close BUT they had “Huet Who”! Montreal has Mr. Carey “The Ice” Price. Big differnce!!!

I really felt bad for Huet last night my heart went out to him. I seen and felt the disappiontment in his face has he skated to his bench. He is a great person and Good Goaltender. But not a Great Goaltender.

On the Ryder thing. Something happend to him during the summer maybe. His game was really off this season. Carbo in my opinion should have gave him a chance to redeem himself like Carbo did for Kovalev. I don’t remember Kovalev ever being benched one game last year? How can Ryder get going in this years playoffs only playing 6-8 mins. a game? He needs to have his regular shifts/time and put him back on the PP. That will be the only way to get him out of his slump. More time, not less time.

Last year against the Leafs, the Biggest game of the year (the last game of the year we needed a win to make the playoffs)Ryder scored 3 goals. He came through in a must wim game (he done more than his share to win) It would have been pretty ****** not to have signed him to one more year right.

The biggest game of the year again, game 7 vs Boston. What if Ryder would have played and got a goal or two or maybe three. UMMMMM. Carbo would have not looked to good right, keepping Ryder out of the lineup. YES, Julien benched was-is-name and he came back on fire scored a few but Julien does not have a ego like Carbo, so Julein don’t care to be proven wrong, he wan’t to be proven wrong. But Carbo does not want to be prove wrong. It has been said by former coaches that Carbonneu is stick headed and Stubborn and former players called him Arrogant and cockey. Carbo thought that he diserved better than the rest. He was pissed off cause he was on the fourth line when he started with Montreal. he felt he deserved to be on the top line.

This whole Ryder thing comes down to Carbonneu’s EGO and STUUBORNESS.

I’m not bashing Carbo. Just merely stating my opinion on the Ryder situation…..

GO HAB GO !!!!!!!

Andrew: are you on drugs? Philly is a physical team. you don’t put in a soft player ,like Breezer(who has coughed up the puck alot in the last game), when you can put in a big body like O’Byrne, who played very well in game 4. remember we got a shutout? And you must really be nuts if you want Ryder, who has done absolutely NOTHING in this series! c’mon use your brain. We need the best lineup to win.

“Ryder, who has done absolutely NOTHING”.

Yeah, I remember a certain somebody last year like that too. But he redeemed himself. But he did not get less icetime either as Ryder has got this year.

Breezer has sucked and sucked. He gives the puck away 10 times every game but he scores one goal and a couple of assist and he he great all of a sudden.

People in here need to wake up.

I’m real excited… I got my ticket to game 1 in Montreal! I’m coming from Philly. But I’m a bit concerned. The temp here in Philadelphia is 72 degrees and I see in Montreal it’s a cold 22! Is it really that cold???

Flyers fan: you’re thinking metric temps. 22= 71 F.
we’re every bit as warm as Philly, but our team is hotter!
I lived a short period of time, in Conshohocken, PA. Used to drive to Atlantic City, close by, and down to the old Spectrum on Broad St.
good luck buddy. hope you enjoy our ambience and cuisine.

Are U a mental ***………….

Sergei Kostitsyn drives a Porshe. Not bad for a Rookie. I hope the Fans did not dent or scratch it when they crowded around when he left the Bell Centre him like the lunatics they are…

Hell Yeah………….

Ditto. I remember Ryder was benched before the game we came back from 5-0 against NY and Ryder notched two goals and at least one assist. Also look how Roenick and Kessel played their respective last games in their series after being benched. I think Ryder would be an asset.

One thing the Canadiens cannot do is repeat the same mistakes they made in round one and almost lost. They cannot underestimate the Flyers. Remember Montreal had an 8-0 record against the Bruins and were almost upset. They had a 4-0 record against the Flyers as well so they cannot underestimate them at all. The playoffs ARE A NEW SEASON!! Forget what happened in the regular season. Don’t make the same mistakes twice and get overconfident. If Montreal plays the way they did in game 1 and game 7 of the Bruins series, they will win, but if they play like they did from game 2 to game 6, then they will be in a world of trouble. I really hope the Canadiens have learned from round one and are better prepared for the Flyers! Go Habs Go!!

I Love Mr. Price. A lot

About the booing on US anthem in Bell Centre (honestly I even didn’t hear it before TV), it’s only from a small group of silly fans. The background could be from the episode that a Habs fan was punched down and kicked on the face after Game 6 in Boston, and dirty racially insulting swear included, such as ‘you fxxx French…’

The individual Boston’s fans’ action should be condemned, but booing on US anthem is totally acceptable. (least, how to show respect to Habs players from US, Komi, Higgins…?)

Team990 hosts in their program proposed (at least themselves) to sing the US anthem in next game in Bell Centre to correct the less professional impression on professional Habs fans.

If I were Bryan Murry, I would have prepared an offer to Kirk Muller as the Sens coach. Don’t know why, just sense Kirk will be a good NHL coach.

Habs in 5 tops, this Flyers team doesn’t stand a chance.

Well I sorry but I have to disagree, Ryder came out and played a good first game then he stopped skating, stopped hitting and his overall game went down, he sat a game and was given the opportunity to show he wanted to be on the team, it should not matter if you play 4 minutes or 24 minutes a player need to give everything he has with the time he gets on the ice. Carbo was not just looking to see if he would score in those 6-8 minutes he played he was looking to see if he was willing to give the effort AND HE DIDN’T GIVE IT!!! Therefore, he was benched again. Lats was given the opportunity as well and he did not make use of it. A coach wants to see effort not just scoring, Carbo realized Ryder was starting to play better the last montha and half of the season, so why did he stop doing what he was doing. Either he was injuried or he was not willing to put an effort into staying on the team.
