Since they are going to OT... Common' Tampa.... Take out the Leafs.

Who cares about the Leafs! If TB loses in OT, Montreal's that much closer to being in! No way the Leafs can catch ATL.

Could not agree more, ploufer. He's the worst Hab defender in the defensive zone. I also thought he could have prevented that empty-netter - he just started skating after the puck too late.

Very disappointing, after he had been playing so well. He is still a force on the offense, however; except tonight he couldn't put it past Jay McKee. I can't see how McKee was not named a star tonight. He was a shot-blocking machine.

Damn!

It's not that I don't hate the Laffs. Just that for me it's more important that the Habs get in than that the Laffs are out. I didn't think the Laffs could catch Atlanta anyway.

I was just describing Souray to a friend...he's a defenseman who's a defensive liability

I know

Leaf fans actually believed that, had they made it to the playoffs... they'd have gone right to the finals. I'm just so happy I don't have to hear that stuff anymore.
If you had to hear their fans BS day in & day out... you'd be happier too. I do realize that it's bitter sweet though.

Damn! Tampa scores with 11 seconds left in OT. They are now one point behind the Habs.

Still, all we need is:

One Hab point (W or OT or SO loss) against Jersey

A Tampa loss against Washington, or

Anything except two Atlanta wins against Washington and Florida

God, I'm a nervous wreck..................

WOW, a pro goalie throwing his stick...I knew that was a penalty shot before the ref did REALLY nice save though-- Edited by The Kahuna at 21:38, 2006-04-15

When was the last time a Montreal goalie pulled such a stunt? Unreal!

Nil d · Guru

By the way, except for the empty-netter, the score was 3-2. (So I'm not so crazy after all). Every game in the series went 3-1 or 3-2.

What is it with Montreal and Buffalo? In the Cup-winning year of 1993, the Habs swept the Sabres 4 straight in the quarterfinals, and every score was 4-3.
