Johan Franzen = Colorado offense.[/quote] Detroit is playing lights out hockey. I think San Jose forces a game 6. Pittsburgh ends it in game 5. I still think Montreal wins the series.

Plus it sucks to have this loss hanging over them until Sunday. I'm still confident in Fleury though, I thought he played a helluva solid game last night, but the rest of the team was flat. I don't think Philly is better than Montreal, but they just seem to have everything going for them in this series. I don't see Montreal taking three straight, even if two of them are at home. Crap, I won't know what to do without a hockey game on at 7pm tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give the rangers credit for not rolling over. They definitely outplayed us last night. that said, i didn't think we played that bad. Lundqvist was spectacular, and we just couldn't get anything past him. Then once they had the lead, we couldn't break the trap. I won't say I'm glad we lost, but I am ok with not having the unbeaten streak hanging over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habber Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm not sure if anyone else knew this, but if Pittsburgh would have won last night, it would have set an NHL record. No team has ever come out of the gate and won 8 straight, ie swept the first two series. Two other teams have gone 7-0 though. It's almost a good thing to not get those types of records, because then it's all the media talks about in your week off and the pressure is somewhat tripled to win. And Montreal's done. Emotionally nobody can take what they've done and come back I don't think. To outplay a team badly in 3 games(I'll say game one was pretty even) and to lose them all, well it's just crushing. To now know you have to still badly outplay them in 3 more games and win them all? Yikes. I think they're done in game 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Stark Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm just happy that Detroit made it out of that game with no injuries. I'll always take a sweep, but the whole "rivalry rekindled," angle everyone was hoping for certainly fell on its face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they can come back, but it might be impossible for them to outplay Philly like they have for the past three nights, and as we've seen, doing so isn't a guarantee of a win anyway. But of course, they're the Habs, so they have to win the Stanley cup, just like they do every year. And damn Detroit- really rubbing it in to the Avs' faces, are we? Glad to see them move on, but I was hoping for more of a series- something I think the Avs are partially to blame for- in Games 2 and 3, when Theodore was sick and clearly not good on his game, they shouldn't have started with him.

Lord O' Bones Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Well. 3rd period of game 5 and the Sharks I've been watching all year finally show up to play. Let's see if they are still there in OT. Edit: [b]FUCKIN' A!!![/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habber Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Have not seen the replay's yet, but I hear the Stars had two disallowed goals. Apparently the first one was a pretty BS call on a kick in. Again I havn't seen it but I'd like to know your thoughts on it LoB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, 8-0 would have been a record. By the way, that team was Edmonton in 1985 - 3-0 against L.A. and then 4-0 against Winnipeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im now again emotionally invested in this team. Happened with the Caps in the first round where I got to watch them flame out in overtime at Verizon. I can't take Aprils anymore.

Not sure what the reason for washing it out was. There was no kicking motion and I don't think Morrow even saw the puck. Strange. The second one, Morrow tried to knock the puck down with his glove and put it in with his stick, but the puck went in before his stick touched it. Definitely not a goal.

TheHoundRules Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 The first one was definitely a goal. I could not understand why it was taking so long to review. Does not matter. You never know what would have happened after that. It would have been 2 - 0 at that time. The team that has scored first in that series has lost every game so far.

TheHoundRules Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Wow! Montreal had everything going. They should have been up by 3 or 4 goals. They are down 1 after a couple of soft goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raif snow Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Montreal lost this series in game 4, they had the chance to tie it 2-2 instead they go down 3-1, what did they expect? For the most important game of their season they pull their starter who led them to the Conference title and put in their untested backup.. plain stupidity and arrogance on Montreal's part. I feel bad for the Canadiens and Price, but shame on their coaching staff and the people that rioted, retards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
