The Habs are in Boston to meet the Bruins tonight. It's an important game for both teams. Does anyone think that Montreal will be looking for revenge? (Chara's hit on Pacioretty from a few weeks ago.) Or will both teams stick to hockey? I believe it will be the latter. The two points are too important, and emotions have cooled since the hit.

| It's Thursday not tonight and no they won't. They will just win and go back home. No sense of getting into a physical battle, they can't compete, but they can win the game, they did it 4 times already. |

You can be all but certain that the NHL has spoken with both teams, their coaches, their management, owners, hot dog vendors, ushers, parking attendents, and beer vendors and sent a very clear message. The only thing that might be worse than what happened in the last game is if there is revenge in this game.
It will be heated. It will be a battle. But it will be reffed very tight and both teams will know they will see the hand of God if anyone steps out of line.
Nothing will come of it. |

lol i was going to mention that,, no the habs should go int a play the same game as they played the 4 other times the habs have Dominated the Bruins this year. A fast transition game takeing advantage the bruins slow d and do not try and compete hit for hit with them, lets face the habs do not have the tools to compete with the bruins physicaly, but when the habs are cool they are the better team on the ice!

And for that matter, I bet the Bruins would be happier played in Boston over Boson. The stadium there sucks. |

Nothing will happen this game to Chara, no.
But I am quite certain that, in the future - it might only happen next year - there will be revenge taken. Or at least an attempt to . . . Chara is a big pin to knock over, even with a slew foot or a knee on knee.

Typical Hab fans... blame Chara for the hit when the true culprit was the Canadien's new arena - no padding on the corner where the event occured.
Bruins - Habs in the first round of the playoffs? Bring it on, I say. I have been (and continue to be) a Bruins fan for 40 years and this team is one of the best Bruin's teams I have seen.
For all the Habs fans - remember, the regular season means squat come playoff time.

true regular season means nothing!
remember in 2003-2004 , when the habs were 7th seeded and Boston 2nd and Habs won the playoff round 4-3....so we will se even if you are 3rd and we're 6th anything can happen, it's not a matter of season stats, it's a best of 7 thing, no matter what happened in the season! |

| as for the game, i don't think there will be any retaliation by Montreal. The best way to retaliate is to clearly wins this one, like the previous one. and getting closer to the 5th place and 3rd at the same time |

I wonder what the ratings for this game will be? I'm sure it will be watched more than an average Bruins-Canadiens match-up!

Love replies like this. I mean, can't it be countered with:
Typical Bruin fan, blame the arena when clearly Chara knew what he was doing and cheapshotted him late?
Bruins / Habs in the first round? Bring it on, we'll dominate them with our speed like we already have 4 times outta 5 this year!"
And you're 40? Nice effort. BTW, if this is one of the best Bruins teams you've ever seen i'm a little shocked you're actually 40. I mean, aren't they a mere 3 points outta 6th in their conference?
And this is all from a Canucks fan, who can honestly say, this IS the best Canucks team i've ever seen!

It should be a great game, and if it wasn't for the Rangers playing tonight, i'd definitley be watching it.
A Bruins win would all but ensure them of the Northeast Division & home ice in round 1 as they'd be 5 points clear of Montreal with 2 games in hand. But a regulation win by Montreal, and they can pull within 1 point.
I'll be rooting for the Boston in this one, because a B's win coupled with a Rangers win against Ottawa would pull NYR within 1 point of Montreal for 6th. Although that would mean a 1st round series against Boston. Honestly i'm not sure who'd i rather see the Rangers face, Boston or Washington (Philly's also in the mix, but even with the Rangers 7-0 blasting of the Flyers last week, i still don't want to see them in round 1). |

Wow. All I can say is wow. I am serious considering placing my life savings on a bet for who ever the Habs play in the first round of the playoffs. If that is how that team comes out to represent after their team mate was take out, how much heart does this team have???

| Gomez is useless. We would be better off using the 5 million dollars for 5 tough goons at a million per season and put a pasting on those guys. Complete waste of money. |

And still have $2.4 million left over (or $3 million in actual dollars as he's being paid $8 million this year), which is about Gomez's real value.

Weeeeeird. A 7-0 score for the Bruins is definitely not something I would have predicted.
Can someone give me a report on this game - I had other committments and couldn't watch. Was it just the Bruins being that good? Did the Habs just totally give up? With a 3 on 5 goal being mentioned, it sure sounds like a total collapse . . .
How was Price, btw?

I picked up the game when it was 2-0 for Boston. Price didn't look horrible but he wasn't stealing a game last night. Most often the Habs normally decent defense left him hanging to dry.
Campbell's shortie on the 5-3 was unreal. He was literally unmarked from centre ice.
It was a combination of Montreal not showing up and Boston definitely showing up. Worst one-sided game I have watched all seson. |

I only saw parts myself, but i did hear the announcer, i believe when it was 3-0 say, if not for Price, this would be a blowout. So, while he didn't come close to stealing the game, i'd say he must have been making his fair share of very good saves. Considering Boston had 40+ shots, many of quality, i have to believe Montreal didn't show up and left him out to dry!
Pasty, any comments??? |

Price faced 33 shots through 2 periods, so 5 goals is not unreasonable really. BOS came to play, simple as that, they were all over MTL physically and otherwise.
When a team gives up a 5-on-3 SHG, you know its over. The game was already 5-0 at that point, so MTL had definitely given up. |

I watched the first two periods & between flicking back and forth every time i turned to the game Bos was on a PP. At the office so cannot see the Marchand hit, but if it is the one on Gomez in the neutral zone that was simply a solid stand up hit. If it was another hit he delivered then I have NC

Wow amazing how if this had been the buds getting it handed to them 7-0, there would likely be 3 pages of comments about how bad the buds, BB and RW are.
Also comments that the future is not bright and the Oil should be the model for them to build around.
However it was not the Leafs. |

It is that hit Mario, and I agree good stand up hit. If anything I would say his hands came up a bit, and I was just wondering if the NHL was going to get more sticky on these types of hits since the latest GM meatings. |

Ummm, yeah maybe, but to compare the Habs to the Leafs is not fair in this context. Maybe if the Habs hadn't made the playoffs in years, were sitting in 10th or worse, had been extremely inconsistent all season and / or had a GM who'd traded away 1st rounders for one dimensional players with no one to play with? Maybe then you'd have seen those comments you refer to? |

Yes imagine the comments if Boston beat the leafs 7 - 0 ...lmao...
Montreal fans...don`t plan a route yet. If the leafs had Price in their net all season, they would be where the Canadians are right now in the standings.....
Giguere and the monster in net for the Habs...they would be sitting right where the leafs are 
Since the arrival of Reimer, the leafs are winning and playing great hockey.
Goalies are everything to a team.
Leafs with Giguere and the monster in goal....on pace for a 70 point year.
Leafs with Reimer in net....on pace for a 110 point season !!!!!....quite a difference heh ?? and without a 1st line center, not bad. |

LOL leafs on pace for 110 points with Reimer in net. I agree they maybe in a playoff position but you cannot claim that based over the 15 - 20 games he has played.
Based upon the way Halak & Khabulhin started off the season we should see them in the West finals?
Based upon the first 12 games Fleury had we should expect the Pens to be in last place?
If we projected totals on twenty games Stamkos would be approaching 80 goals.

Reimer has played 28 games ...thank - you Mario...NOT 15.....his record is 17 wins //// 7 losses //// 4 ot-shootouts. Thats pretty damn impressive if you asked me anything !!!
Thats just over one THIRD of a season.
I think approx. 35 % of a season is a damn pretty good indicator of how a guy will probally do on a season.....within a 5 - 7 % margin, one way or the other...don`t you ?
If not for the lack luster play of the monster - less ( 6 wins 13 losses ), the leafs would be in a playoff position, no problem, the guy only had to play .500 hockey. |

Your right Oilear, the leafs don`t have a bonafied hockey team, not yet anyway. If not for Reimer they wouldn`t even be in 10th in the east.
Then again, if not for Miller, Lundquist and Price maybe these 3 teams wouldn`t be either. All three would probally be within 1 point of where the leafs are right now.
But your right about the leafs. They still need an offensive defenseman for the powerplay, a true # 1 center and 2 - 3 more peices to make the playoffs. Things are looking up though, they have improved a lot since the all - star break.
With 2 first round draft picks now maybe Burke can swing a deal at the draft and sign 2 - 3 UFA`s to bring them where they need to be for next season.......and yes, almost forgot...fire that moron Wilson. |
