Intensity, Speed Win

If they play the rest of the series like they played the first two periods, this is going to be a long and rewarding series for the fans. With the heart and emotion they showed, they can surely compete with anyone in the league, and with a depleted Bosto

Close, But No Cigar

It was a better game, for sure, but in the end the result was the same. However, for the discerning fan who understands that the playoffs this season are gravy on an already successful season, this overtime defeat where the Habs showed intensity and stro

Undisciplined and Impotent

Well, let’s be brutally honest about this one: the better team won. The Bruins had better goaltending on this night, they had better containment on the puck and they were infinitely better and making intelligent and crisp plays. The Habs looked nervous

On to the Playoffs

It was a good end to the season, at least in terms of getting the goal scoring back on track. Typically for this year, Ryder was the catalyst and that augers very well for the future. In light of this being the last, and most meaningless game of the sea

Playoff Reffing Abounds

Everybody check your appendages and see if you have any puncture wounds, let’s get the heck outta Boston and pray we don’t have to go back. Brian Rolston guaranteed a victory after pretty much saying Boston was a better team, and he didn’t lie on this ni

Danger Julien, Danger!

Another stellar game to watch if you like curling up with your fluffiest pillow and letting the drool roll as your eyes roll into the back of your head, your mind turning to dreams of fast cars, big money, and anything but hockey. The Canadiens turned in

Ryder Alone Against Sabres

Well, did that effort reek or what. I guess that three day layoff was just a little too much for the boys as they seemed much to used to relaxing out there against the Sabres. It’s a complete shame because that last few moments when we dominated was alm
