Chicago beats Vancouver 5-3.
Philadelphia beats Boston 5-4.
I was hoping that Boston could sweep it, they were so close, darn.

Well... I dunno. But I do know that the calling in the last game and the present game are bullshit. I tape some games while I am watching them as I have to answer my office phone as required. When I play some stuff back, it makes me even more pissed off. And, when The Cherry plays the BS back on national television, I feel I can post my feelings here. That is, it's not just sour grapes... no pun intended (Canuck joke... Don Cherry).

But, it could be so Jack... why else could it be? I don't see any refs with with white canes.

Let's just see what happens. I'll try not to be so negative.

Gnu every thing you say is no doubt true
But in the Home if the white red and blue
It don't take much to make a Habs fan boo.


BTW are you saying that they are booing Crosby because the Ref favored him?

Shouldn't they be booing Bettman?

I feel vindicated for my extreme ire over that penalty at the end of the second period in the last Habs vs Pens game. The Cherry showed slo-mos and felt the same way I did. As I am sure many fans for both teams did. I think Sid The Kid is a Canuck hero for what he did in the Limpics. He's a Maritimer. I love to watch him play.

But what the fuck is this bullshit that he can cross check, rake and trip behind the play but cannot even be shoved with a hand in the shoulder? Unreal... unf***ingreal! Hero to zero. Pussy.

And that is why he is booed every time he touches the puck in Montréal.

Oh... and, they are not booing that wicked check in the first period (it was fine)... they are booing the lack of a penalty that should have been called when the second Wing that went down with the Hab elbowed him in the kidney. WyTF was that not called? That was as dirty as it gets. That should draw a fine.

This is getting upsetting. I don't like dirty hockey.

I hope the Habs win. But, that doesn't look likey.... the Pens have a lot more men on the ice.

Beer... gosh! Maybe THAT was the Habs' strategy? Keep giving Pitt the puck so they would rush in so Halak could stop the puck, OVER AND OVER AND OVER until they got tired? (And I got hoarse.)

Amazing hockey strategy insight! I still wouldn't rule out BS luck (and great tending).

GO HABS GO!

Even tho the name don't mean much no more. Then again, it hasn't for a lot of years I suppose. But, I do love their chow... almost as much as I did Mémère's. (Canuck joke. Matter of fact, a down home joke... peeps in yer Tronna calls it chow-chow which sounds kinda...)

Of course the Habs could win. They beat the Washington team didn't they? But Pittsburgh has more balance and better goal-tending and Ovey's crew . I'd give the Habs a one in three chance at this point.

Just back from a gig in Montreal. Not a happy camper. I missed most of the game so I don't know if Detroit deserved to loose or not. maybe someone here watched it and could make a comment.
Ad.p.s. Oh!, again the goalie won the game and not the team. But that is hockey. Good luck to your Canadians Gnu. My son is a very devoted Pitsburg fan and he said that they ran themselves tired by the third period. Interesting I thought.

Seriously, I don`t think the Habs are gonna win. I will be cheerin fer em, but... Pitt just skates better and doesn`t look like they don`t know what to do with the puck. I mean, gee whiz... you are supposed to go to the net with the guy that doesn`t have a jersey like yours... not keep dumping the puck mid-ice! You are not supposed to pass DIRECTLY to someone dressed in a different uniform! Overall, if these mistakes continue, the Habs will be out. Their win today was surprisingly BS luck.

But I liked it. Big time.

Sum bitch! I am still almost not believing that. The Habs CAME ALIVE and overcome their nerves? or what?

But, I was terribly upset at that last boarding. The was a shitty thing to do... dirty play. Unfortunately, it doesn't result in a suspension. Heck, it's not even called bording anymore... he was "hit from behind" according to the commentator.

But, it was good hockey... sloppy and slow Habs play and piss poor reffing, but it was exciting.

My money is on Pitt, and my heart will always be with Mon'réal.

It's one of the issues with having a two-man refereeing system. One ref may say "Lettem play! While the other uses his rule book! Unwritten rule(one ref to the other) #1-Don't "you" call penalties in "my" end of the ice!

I am surprised the Habs are up by one... BS luck. Pitt is playing much better hockey. They are making the Habs look like school girls that can't decide what to do with the puck... except trying to give it back to Pitt outside the blue line. I am getting hoarse.

And the lack of penalty calls is atroacious. The hits after the play, behind the play and AWAY from the play are hard to watch. I know a ref can't see em all, but this is ridiculous... someone is gonna get hurt or in a fight. And, since the Habs started it in the first minutes, it's getting worse from both teams. Is it all for TV and "blood thurst"?

With the DVR, I lost track of which games we have seen "all" of (and sometimes we speedwatch, LOL), but the Habs/Caps game was really fun and even tho I knew how it would end, it still caught me by surprise.

But the end of the first Wings series we REALLY liked-- so great to see the Wings finally play their game.

So tonight (despite the usual Versus bloviation), we'll curl up with our Pens and some good subs, and yell our heads off-- either way!

GO PENS!

GO MWH! (One of the auction benefiting him is going well, in addition to quieter efforts, and there is lots of time left on the Cup auction for folks to warm up to it.)

I feel for you Bobert. I went through a dry period when Ned Harkness came into Detroit and destroyed the club. It took years to recuperate. Toronto is also having a hell of a time getting up there but their fans never give up. Hopefully next year they will take it a notch or two further up the scale. At least make the Play Offs.

It sucks being a DC sports fan... Here we had a shot but...

... hey, it's DC sports where other than 2 superbowls a long time ago we've gone thru 4 to 5 decades of sucky pro-sports teams... I mean, I don' think there is another major city that is as snakebit as DC... Bullets, Wizzards, Redskins, Nationals, Sebnators, Caps, United... They all suck and have sucked since before Columbus found the New World and should life as we know it come to an abrupt end, they will continue to suck even after that...

But, like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football while Lucy pulls it away, we will continue to root for one losing team after another until we die...

But this sucks...
