Series Thread: Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 2 - Canadiens vs. Lightning

[dash]

Florida...not like the rest of us!


someone posted that in another thread and all I could think was truer words, my friend, truer words.

I was raised to believe that the Canadiens always had the hockey Gods on their side.

Offiside in G1 OT, the very lopsided officiating, crazy bounces and last second brain farts. This has turned the world upside down.

I am personally blaming PK Petry for getting Edmonton all over Les Habitants.

By the way, did the guy have a handgun or an Iludium Q36 exploding space modulator?

There will be a lot of questions to be answered about Montreal at the end of this series. Change for sure. Coach Therrian canned. What else can they really do to make this team better? Habs looked really good during some parts of the season. Their scoring has dried up, and Price suddenly looks ordinary or worse. Getting better players is not easy.

Price looks ordinary all year against TB.

If it's me, the coach is gone.

Plekanec is gone.

Markov is gone.

And I'd consider offers for Missing Max.....

You can take the boy out of Edmonton,..., but you can't wash that stank off with Ajax.

There should have been some sort of quarantine procedure used. Maybe its evolved and gone airborne?

Done like dinner.

yeah, I think so. Tough way to lose last night, I don't see a great effort tonight. I hope its low scoring and close. I dont want there to be any doubt that the offense is the problem and in particular Therrien's offense scheme and constant line juggling.

 

[mattola]

do the lightning fan have some form of noise makers in the stands. something sounds really terrible.

 

[BGDave]

• PK Slewfoot at it again

 

[mattola]

this may not be a good thing for Montreal to embarass the lightning like this. going to be an interesting game 5 in Montreal

Probably too late for the series but nice win. Another home game plus it always sucks to be swept. Nice to see some hard work pay off tonight. Pacioretty was the Habs best skater last night but didnt get on the score sheet. Pleks has been great on faceoffs and defensively, might have saved a goal last night. Glad to see them score. Eller too, i think hes played well. Subban and Galchenyuk looked good tonight too.

Of course now I really wish they would have won game 1 or 3.....

If it was game 1 or 2 I would agree. IMO being down 0-3 they need to try to put as much doubt in Tampa's heads as they can. Tampa is a good team and confident so I dont think it will work, but I can't see it hurting the Habs either.

 

[mattola]

Good luck comeds I'm cheering for ya

Michel Therrien frowns on this kind of thing.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

In this case I'd rather be wrong than right, but still a long way to go for them.

I imagine Comeds broke out his matched Max P jammies/bedding set again last night.

About time that guy did something.

Hey I don't want to argue with you, c'mon lets move on.

Who was arguing? I was speculating.....
