THE HABS ARE FOR REAL
Of course, the playoffs are a different season...
Sad day in hockey...
Whats the story with that crazy ass shit?
Uh, so, it wasn't enough for you guys to sweep the season
on us, but you had to crosscheck our best forward in the back
and knock him out for the most important week of the season,
while we're fighting for our playoff lives? The fact that there
was no penalty on the play was atrocious, too - yeah, it was in
Montreal, in the last 2 minutes of the game, but it was a brutal
and blatant crosscheck.
By the way, Cove - I was at the game at the Garden last Thursday.
Least fun I've had at a Bruins game in a long time, as I was surrounded
(and I mean SURROUNDED) by Habs fans, who took great pleasure in taunting
and ridiculing us home fans as we lost for the 10th straight game to
the Habs. It's getting out of control, this losing.
Sorry to hear about the classless Habs fans. They can get out of hand... as this IS their religion.
An even .500 against us and we're (BOS/MTL) both in very different situations...
Johnathan Roy= NAGL. Hate him like I hated his dad.
Apparently, Roy Sr. clearly pointed-out the opposing goalie and directed his son. Wouldn't surprise me.
Unfortunately, in a brawl 3 refs can only control so much of the fighting - 5 if nobody has jumped off the benches. What's funny if that it looks like the ref wards off one of the goalie's teammates trying to save him from the beatdown.
I don't have much faith in their desire to stop that sh*t given endless fights where the refs are just standing watching two dudes punching each other in the head well after the heat of the play has turned into just a stupid fight.
And Game 3 of this rubbish will now be televised....
calls and obnoxious fans, don't get it twisted - the
Habs are clearly the better team than the Bruins by far,
and one of the most exciting in the league. I have to admit
I've always been a Kovalev fan, so I'm glad to see him sort
of "re-born" this year in Montreal. The fans sure love him,
they were chanting his name at the Garden even BEFORE he scored
those 2 highlight reel (or goalie blooper reel
... it's funny you say this is the first exciting Habs team
you can remember - this team reminds me of the Canadiens I grew
up watching: a bunch of fast, talented players skating circles
around everyone on the ice, with a quick strike offense that can
kill you. Look at that game against Ottawa last night - another
7 goals for you guys? Yeesh!
Maybe in the 70's or something... but the Habs of late have been boring teams. Even the team that won it all in 93' (even though, at that point, i was still a Nordiques fan).
The youngins are for real. Most underrated D-men in the league, too.
The only problem is that Koivu is
Kovalev is
I'm glad to see a hockey-related here again, and i could barely wait until playoffs.
(Sadly, I still think Anaheim's gonna take it again this year....)
A Nordiques fan, becoming a Habs fan?
At the game the other night, it was Glen Murray's 1,000th
game, and they had a trivia question on the scoreboard during
one break, "What Team Did Murray Score His First Goal Against?"
with 3 answers to choose from, A) Canadiens B) Penguins or
C) Nordiques, which was the answer. People were shouting out
answers and I stood up and yelled "the REAL hockey team from
Quebec!!" which actually got some laughs from Habs fans.
I miss le fleur de lys!
My parents wanted to disown me, but whatever. I hated Roy and the Habs and was a huge Stastny fan. When Roy left the Habs to "my" team I was forced to do the switch and not celebrate "my nordiques" championship. Sad, after all those years in the cellar.
Murray has kind of slowed down in his old age, huh? He used to be a sniper. 1000 games of wear.
And Bassie, I'm pretty much in agreement with that.
coming back in time for the playoffs
I realized you addressed this thread to me and I never
even said what's up, just started jawing about the Habs!
Can't say I'm sorry to see the Leafs lose, the media were
playing it up like it was do-or-die for Toronto in this game
as far as playoffs go, but truth is their playoff hopes were at best
a long shot, while the Bruins are holding on for dear life only
2 points above the drop zone ... I hold my breath through all these
games now and have to watch the scoreboard to see if Buffalo is
losing, rooting for Carolina to beat Washington, etc ... it's too much.
I still haven't watched the brawl clip you guys are talking about
(strut at work related) but one thing I can say is that I have always
hated Roy. I've seen him make some amazing saves, and semi-rooted for
him in the Bourque-Avalanche Cup win, but his tenure with the Canadiens
made him the most hated goalie in my personal experience. I got great
pleasure from the playoff games against the Bruins in the early 90's
when he would make 40 amazing saves all night but then pass the puck
from the corner across the front of his own net right onto the stick
of an open Bruin for the game-winning goal. He could be downright comical.
That kid got a lifetime ban from the OHL. Roy is luck to only get 7 games.
It gets worse: http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/hockey/bruins/view.bg?articleid=1082939&srvc=bruins&position=2
Not even a B's/Habs thing, more just disgusted with the
NHL and referees in particular - how can somebody crosscheck
a player hard enough to BREAK THEIR BACK and not even get a
2 minute minor penalty? Sometimes this league is a real joke.
Which dude got the ban?
The kid that skated away screaming for his life from the huge dude
