Round 1 of the NHL playoffs has come and gone, and left 8 casualties out of the chase for the Stanley Cup.
It was a week of major disappointment for Montreal fans, as the sweep was concluded by Boston as injuries continued to mount for the Habs.
For those of you still stuck on stage 2 of the 7 Stages of Grief; denial; let me help you move on by saying that no, games can’t be redone because of a blown offside call.
Well… thanks for coming out! Only twice in the NHL has a team come back from a 3-0 series deficit to win.
It was not the start to the postseason that any Montreal fan envisioned, a pair of losses and even more questions between the pipes.
This could have been the game Montreal needed to win while the opportunity presented itself.
The following are the final regular season grades for the Habs. Although the Recap was not published on Sunday, grades were recorded for the last week and are noted in the “This Week” column.
The start of the 2008-09 playoffs are upon us, and Habsworld pundits have put their $0.02 forward to boldly predict the winners and losers of hockey’s first round of the second season.
Could it be any other way? Bruins vs. Canadiens in Round 1!
