  • There are very few things in sports I love more than seeing Boston teams fail. Seriously...Boston might be more obnoxious than New York, I love it. Total epicness in this failure. Classy fans, too, littering the ice.

    Is that the first time that has happened? (least 7 vs 8?)

    Montreal might be ranked as an 8th seed, but You have to wonder if they just played Halak 65 times if they could have finished 4th or 5th, either way I think Montreal wins the cup, they are getting the best goaltending, their D is playing really well, and they are getting timely scoring.

    yep!
  • restlesssoulrestlesssoul Posts: 6,951
    when i think about the habs facing San Jose or Chicago, I cringe. But then I remember who they have beaten, and you have to think at this point, the Canadiens are favourites to win this thing. I mean, if they can handle the caps and the champs, who CANT they take?

    yeah, even as a flyers fan, I'd say montreal has to be the favorite in the series. The flyers have home ice, but these playoffs have shown that that doesn't mean shit. the habs have knocked off two much better teams than the flyers have faced.

    should be interesting...flyers are playing with house money after the bruins collapse

    Plus the flyers were running 4 d men for a lot of that series, they could be tired. Every once in a while a Montreal team comes along and wins when know one expects it.

    I'm not trying to piss on your parade, that was a hell of a comeback, but have you seen who Montreal knocked out so far? Do you see who's waiting out west?
    you guys got heart no doubt, not so sure you have a goalie

  • You are right about that! It's anybody's guess. Hey, You're in it you have a shot. If an eastern team takes the cup, wow, what a story.

    They haven't been playing almost every other night in the regular season as they are in the playoffs. I like Montreal's chances.

    Home ice is apparently a disadvantage in the east and in game 7's this year.

    Well bring on the Conference Finals. Whata come back by the Flyers last night. Hadn't seen the start of the game, flipped over seen 3-0 Bruins...had flash backs of the Pens/Habs game..turned the station and when I flipped back later, couldn't believe what I saw. Good game :clap:

    Did anyone else see the goal by Taylor Hall at the Memorial Cup and how about Matt Duchene at the Worlds. Both fantastic goals....thought Duchene's goal was the best though :thumbup:

    Saw both Hall's and Duchene's goals both fantastic. Windsor is off to a much better start at this years Memorial Cup, Go Spits Go. Like Montreal vs. San Jose final. Chicago's goalie would make me nervous if I was a Chicago fan.

    Be careful what you wish for... as a Pens fan, I overlooked the Canadiens, and they taught me a lesson lol.




    In recent years, people have been saying that the West was the stronger conference, and even before these playoffs, talking heads were saying how big of a drop in talent that the bottom 4 in the east were even to the top 4. It would be funny if a #7 or #8 from the East beat a #1 or #2 from the West :)


    Part of me thinks that the Canadiens are going to run out of steam at some point, but I don't know... They got a few guys in that room who have been through the long haul and know what it takes. I don't see the Flyers beating them... They definitely battled back admirably against the Bruins, but if they put themselves in anything close to that position with the Habs, they are toast.

    Pittsburgh should have beat Montreal, I saw three problems against Montreal, Fleury was average, the Penguins wingers were average in the series and Crosby needs to learn to work through really tough series and make things happen. Not to mention that penalty 10 seconds into game 7 was really dumb, Gonchar on that short handed goal was really lame and should have been chewed out by the coach and benched.

    I however do enjoy the fact that the 4 remaining teams are lead by North American skaters and the teams that relied on the European players are gone by the way side, yeah for North American style hockey...Don Cherry and I will enjoy a few beverages for the best hockey. I suspect Hossa will be Chicago's downfall and San Jose will win.
