Naysayers containment field inside - do not open until after playoffs
(Preview)
Post all the doubts you have about the habs in here, and we'll open the thread after the cup and get a good chuckle...
we're not dead yet! and their wunderkid needs just one period of thrashing to go home crying to papa...

Bent but Not Broken
(Preview)
Ahhh, the sweetest victory of all awaits the Habs - fighting back from death's door.
Surely they have plenty of reasons to want to smite - smite??- these goliaths.
I refuse to not enjoy where we are at - victory tomorrow will get all of our engines revved for Thursday.
Surely to goodness some brea...

As Gainey says...
(Preview)
...if you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem!
Guys...Carolina is a great team!
Having said that...ONE HOME WIN...sends this series to a game 7!
And-o initially figured on seeing the Canes go 4-and-0 over the Habs!!!
...it all starts with one bounce...one little batt...

The Canes can be beaten...
(Preview)
As good as the Hurricanes are, they can’t beat the Canadiens 5-on-5!
In fact, if the Habs could rope in the Carolina PP (and get their PP going again)…the tide would turn!!!
Since the Hurc’s PP often uses 5 forwards, why not have one of the weak side forwards take-off for a stretch...

Disappointed..
(Preview)
I don't mind losing a game if the team shows some character and drive. Our team is full of speed and I saw a bunch of guys standing around last night watching carolina skate around them.
Either Carolina is good or we are really crappy. The only guy worthly of wearing the jersey last...

Begin and Downey
(Preview)
To be honest, I don't think these guys were a factor or difference tonight. Begin probably still hurts and didn't get much ice.
Maybe it's time to give Kostitsyn a try rather than Downey. We need some offensive talent and young energy. Someone who has good wheels and can get to the net.

SHOOTING IT IN THE NET 3 TIMES??? ANYBODY SEE THIS?

the Canes shot it into our net after the whistle blew THREE SEPERATE TIMES in game 5. can you believe this? i was sick to my stomach. and yet we didn't ruin anybody's face. then again, if we did we would have been severely penalized. there really is no justice in this lea...

It's unfortunate what happened to Williams. clearly, we should have sympathy for him, because both he and koivu were equally affected by what happened. thank god Williams has gathered up the courage and strength to rise above this adversity and notch a goal and an assist this ga...

What it comes down to...
(Preview)
Our goalies are playing fairly even. Ward was solid but seen every shot except one. Huet making many bigger saves to keep us in.
It comes down to talent and speed. They win in this regard. Habs needed to work their butts off to have a chance and I can't believe they didn't play 60 minutes. T...

Ryder
(Preview)
Don't mean to crap on him because we lose as a team but this guy has such limited hockey sense. I notice along the boards in trying to set up a cycle he would direct the puck where there was no support. He also blind passed the puck off the boards behind him while facing the boards rather than try to cyc...

The Power Play (and I crinch when I say Power).
(Preview)
Gainey is a smart man. So to is Carbo. And so to is Jarvis.
So after the first 4 PP, they must have saw what we all saw, which was a disgrace. Why not put Begin up front to battle the puck in the corner, a guy who can win a battle to get the puck to the D or behind the net so we could set up the PP...

Thoughts on Game 5
(Preview)
Ribeiro: Simply brutal AGAIN. He had his chance in the 3rd to be the hero, and he put a powder puff shot right along the ice into Ward. I'm sure he'll be gonzo next year (not that I think this series is over) but thank goodness he truly is the WANGSTER he acts like off the ice.

Powerless PP
(Preview)
I am a Bob Gainey fan and do respect him but he made some glaring coaching errors tonight. Why oh why does he put Riberio and Bulis out time after time to start the PP when they had done absolutely nothing on the PP all game. Riberio refuses to compete for loose pucks in the corner and he is snak...

Let us not lose hope. It is not over until the last buzzer goes off. We can do this.
WE JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE.
Miracles happen everyday ... and I am sure there is one reserved for the HABS.
As Hab fans we have had to put up with alot of misfortune that seems to follow our team, but I fe...

I used to be a Ribeiro FanHe has missed so many point blank chances.It has cost us games,,,game 3, 4 and tonight .Enough of his wheeling and dealing, He doesn't posses enough speed to beat guys one on one. Can't remember the last time he set some one up either,,,maybe deganais.......Bye bye number 71.

Im sorry but with this guy reffing, and the other ref is a Dumb@$$ too...there is NO WAY we are going to win this game. # miss calls already in the first 5 minutes, but Carolina has had 2 powerplays both on questionable calls, and a goal resulting from one of them. 3-2 series lead for carolina come 10 pm toni...

(Preview)
The Habs have played well second half of game. I feel bad for Huet the most, and Ward has done well again against the Habs. However, here it goes the Canes are a dirty team High sticks and this putting the puck in the net after the whistle is just wrong. I wanted to shut up these Canes in the worse way&n...

More Mind Games By Gainey

Journalists asked Gainey about Kovalev and he quickly shifted the topic to his linemates saying that Bulis and Ribeiro should look at themselves in the mirror. More mind games from Gainey? You never know from this man...

shopping from Canucks house cleaning?
(Preview)
Does anybody want to speculate on who will go where from the Canucks now that there appears to be a Vancouver house cleaning?
Jovo would fit well in a Habs uniform. We need another big D-man.
Maybe Morrison as center.
