Typical. Hab fans honestly believe they can go far in the playoffs this year with Price. Good luck.

is everyone forgetting the habs already beat this years bruins 4 games to 2 in the season series, so it will go exactly the same way in the playoff the habs are the better team on the ice when they don't try and match the Bruins type of play. Montreal makes the Bruins d look slow and and old when they attack fast off the rush, and don't tell me i'm just a habs fan with a bias,, the habs dominated the Bruins 4 times this year and were the better team on the ice their is no reason the Habs can't impose their game plan like they did last year in the playoffs.
The Bruins will have to get the habs off their game plan in order to win but if the habs play their speed game they are better than the bruins plane and simple

Pasty - no one is forgetting the season series, but maybe you are forgetting the last game they played - the first one after the Pacioretty hit.
7-0 Bruins.
That was the only dominating win this year by either team, actually . . . all the rest were close. Thomas is hot, and looks to be the equal of Price at this moment, except that he is more battle tested in the playoffs. Yes, Montreal has used their team speed in the past very effectively against Boston . . . but other than that, Boston should be dominant.
It's real tough for me to pick the Habs, frankly. Price has stunk in the playoffs, and him playing exceptional, series-stealing hockey is the only way the Habs win 4 games. I know he's had a hell of a season . . . but this is different.

The Habs dominated the Bruins for 4 games in the season series?
Game 1: Habs 3 - Bruins 1 (Rask in net for the Bruins)
Game 2: Bruins 3 - Habs 4 (Thomas)
Game 3: Bruins 2 - Habs 3 OT (Thomas)
Game 4 : Habs 6 - Bruins 8 (Thomas)
Game 5 : Bruins 1 - Habs 4 (Rask)
Game 6 : Habs 0 - Bruins 7 (Thomas)
So Slozzo, which 4 games did Montreal dominate in the season series???

game 5 the bruins were down 4 nothing and owned the entire game they chipped in a goal in the third but the bruins were never in that game
game 1 sur the score is close but the habs had that game the entire time
pretty much every game the habs won they were in complete control of those game except the ot win but even that game the habs were the better team on the ice,,,
i watched the games this isn't just me makeing stuff up the habs were the better team on the ice 4 times this year

I watched every game as well.
The Habs dominated three (Games 1, 2 and 5). Note Rask was in for two of those.
Game 3 was close, absolutely no domination either way.
Bruins dominated games 4 and 6.
The Habs have to face Thomas in the playoffs.
Bruins in 4. |

on another side note everyone talks about how much better the Bruins are this season, the Bruins only won 2 more games than the habs this year, the habs were 44-38 and the Bruins were 46-36,, the habs are not such a underdog that everyone has been making them out to be

realizing it's only one game, but i just have to point out how horrible Kaberle played last night. for all of his offensive upside, he showed how much a defensive liability he can be. wonder if Chiarelli is glad he made that trade now?
and an overall playoff question: does no one like to score goals anymore??? |

It's just one game this series can still go anyway the Bruins are that good, but the Bruins need to mature they got frustrated way to fast in game 1, the game was till up for grabs and Chara takes a stupid run at pleakanec and the worst is he got away with it, but decided he was gonna knee him and shove him untill he got his penalty effectivly ending any chance at a bruins comeback,, Lucic so frustrated that they were losing seemed to think or want to do everything himself which lead to the brutal turnover you mentioned that lead to the 2nd hab goal and giving the habs safety net in a 1 nothing game, player for player the Bruins are the better team. If the Habs manage to win this game it will be just like last year Jacques Martin creating a good game plan and the players buying in.

Regardless of how bad a game some Bruins had - it was still up to Price to win the game.
As bad as Lucic, Kaberle, Chara, etc... played - Habs STILL needed Price to stand on one ear!!
How bad can it get if Price only plays "average" AND these Bruins bring back their game to normal levels. Will we see another 7-0 game?
GLAD it's 1-0 habs, however the series is not over yet... |

Toxx i keep telling people about kaberle`s short - comings. That give - away last game, ( which cost the Bruins ) is his typical play.
As soon as kaberle hears a pair of opposing skates within hitting distance...boom, the puck is gone off his stick, and many times right onto to the oppositions blade. Kaberles defensive net presense is lousy as well...he just doesn`t hit or move bodies away from the net.
Sure he has offensive up-side but what he adds to goals for...he damn well gives up goals againist at a higher rate.
How many players did Boston give up ( salary cap room ) to make room for kaberle anyway ?? I think the Bruins already had a very strong team...last season they had the Flyers down 3 games to 0 didn`t they ??...wasn`t injuries their main reason for early playoff exit ?
I remember the Bruins having D. Wideman, Mark or Brad ( is it ) Stuart, B. Wheeler ... anyone else ?? These are all very good players, are they not ? |

Chara was sluggish, now he was hospitalized last night for dehydration and will not play tonite. This could get interesting.

Gotta love the Bruins, they seriously make SJ & Vancouver's past futility look less significant by the game. 6 straight playoff loses now. Anybody still care to claim these guys are anything else but the big bad bums? Sorry Toxikk don't mean to harp on your team, but they look lifeless & unispired in their own arena. The noise at the Bell Centre is going to cripple any of their hopes if they don't score the first goal.
Yes the series is far from done, but based upon Boston's 0-26 record when down 2-0, the fact that they must now beat the Habs three games at home will be no easy task 
Congrats to the habs who just seem to get it done come playoff time.

Great example of Martin's systems and prep of his team for the playoffs. Halak who???
Boston has every tool needed to be great but can't win. Here is another coach who will be gone in the offseason. I am surprised at how bad Boston has been. Take nothing away from Montreal but Boston is beating themselves as much as the Habs are beating Montreal. |

Agree with Beans here.
Nothing to take away from Montreal - playing very well, and Price has been excellent this playoffs so far, no question.
But the Bruins have been uncommonly lousy. Their scoring chances absolutely suck . . . and it isn't all Montreal's D, although they are playing well. I am really surprised by Boston's total lack of heart.
Glad I chose not to take any players from either team in this match-up for my pools.

I also didn't take any Bruins. I loaded up on Detroit, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Philly. Hoping for a few upsets. In one of my drafts, every single other person loaded up on Vancouver. An upset by Chicago and I literally walk to the money.
Boston is in more trouble than any other team in the playoffs. They have not been anywhere near controlling any part of any of the first two games. Now they have to go into Montreal?? At least Chicago and Phoenix have been in the games they have lost and they are going home to regroup. I think the fans in Montreal take Boston out of the series early in game 3. |

Gotta be a beautiful Sunday in "Pastyville". I'm assuming he's not on here because of a serious hangover!
It's pretty sad the effort being put forth by Boston. Almost as sad as the fact i have Bruins in both my pools. 
Slozo, i was thinking of you, Duke, etc when the announcer said last night "Boston would prob like to make a trade for Kessel right now". |

Well, i think NO ONE really imagine that the Bruins would be 0-2. They might have loss the first one, but the habs did win the second. Montreal have played a very organized and sturctured game 2 and showed up at the begining of the game, Boston showed up 5 minutes late, but the game was over at that point. Price is deffinitively at his best and shows great calm and controls most of the rebounds. He couldn't do much on the goal. Thomas on the other couldn't do much on either 3 goals yesterday but he gave juicy rebounds and the Habs took advantage of it. I can't wait for game 3 in montreal, the crowd will be crazy (oh wait i have an exam during the game, fml) still the game should be interesting, hopefully Habs will keep in the same direction and wins this series :)
joe is a god, if u dont agree....i dont care |

Hhahaha wow alex you deffinetly got that prediction right!!!! Just woke up from sleeping off the party!!! even with all my optmism about this series i never thought my habs would come out of boston with 2 wins and not to mention all the momentum possible. After game one i really thought Julien would rally his troops and create a good solid game plan to counter Jacques Martin's but as beans said this is truly a case of one coach out coaching the other, The Habs have bought in as a unit to the game plan and it is working as soon as Cammalleri scored last night 43 seconds in i knew this team could win, the habs just have to do exactly like the first too games score quick and protect the lead,, that is how the bruins get frustrated and get off their game,,
I can't imagin the bruins loseing the next too they are too good a team for that i maintain the habs in 6

| Sad state of affairs for the Bruins. Maybe if they decide to show up as a TEAM for a game or 2, we may win one. But, if they can't pull one off in their own building, it's a huge stretch to pull it off in Montreal. The only building in the league they didn't win in this year. I don't pretend to know what's going on, but, this is not the team of the regular season. I don't know if they thought they would just walk all over the Habs, but man, I give full credit to the Habs for taking it to my Bruins. To many single efforts, 0 as a team, it'll killya every time. Brutal giveaways, Chara now out and too many individuals = 4 and out. |

Well, a little late to the party thanks to a wonky harddrive, but GO HABS!!!!
I see some here have forgottem their playoff history. Oh well, those who don't learn from it are doomed to repeat it. I took 4 Habs in our pool for a reason. Got them very late as well. if you take a look at Thomas's stats vs. the Habs, you will see why. .907 save % and a 3.21 GAA are far off his normal numbers.
Again, the Habs won the season series, and as I said in another thread, the Bruins may have won the one real blowout, but which sort oif hockey is closer to playoff hockey? Close hockey or blowouts? The advantage always was with the Habs. |
