    This should be fun. I'll be wearing my Chara jersey at home.

    An old fashioned matchup, and maybe Boston can break an old rivals heart again. (God know the Bruins have had their share of sucktitude v Montreal)
    Technically the Habs should be able to take you, but I've said it before and I'll say it again - you guys are overdue in a big way.

    Correct my facts if I'm wrong ...

    Wasn't it 2004 when the #8 Habs took out the #1 Bruins in the Conference Q-finals? Riding the wave of Saku Koivu's cancer comeback?

    I seriously think that was the last time I took the Bruins seriously.

    For old time's sake, I'll tune in and cheer on the B's ... maybe they can return the favor.

    It was the 2002 playoffs when Koivu returned and we were in 8th. It was 2004, not 2003, we finished 7th, I believe, that we were down 3 games to 1 and came back to win the series.

    Half the penalties is cause for concern.....
    We need Komisarek back, Koivu would be nice too...
    The monkey picked Montreal, Philly, Rags and Pens to advance beyond round one.
    EA NHL 08 simulation had the Habs and Sharks in the final, Sharks in 7.

    I didn't watch the draft lotto, just caught the highlights. Watched the monkey soothsayer.
    Montreal in 6. Maybe 5, but definitely more than 4 I think. First in the conference and I haven't been able to shake the 'underdog' feeling all year...
    Maybe Stamkos in TB might be offset by Vinny packing up for Mtl in the off season? hahaha, right!

    Shakey first period for both teams, settled down nicely and a great victory for us.
    Some questionable penalties on both sides, but not too too bad.
    Go Habs Go!!

    nice game, i had to watch an internet feed, but that was worth it.

    I hope the rest of the series goes as easily.

    Agreed. I flew 4 feet off the couch 34 seconds into the game.
    First period was kinda scary, but the rest of the game was quite good.
