Thank you Alex, Zed!!! This'll teach me to keep my mouth shut. Boy, this game is INSANE!!!!

MC Girl · Guru

This game is up & down like a toilet seat in a unisex washroom.

WOW....and by the way. I know Kovalev does some dumb things (was doing them in first game too), but he is THE MAN in the playoffs. It's like it's up to him whether we lose (bad penalties, laziness on getting back, etc...) or win (dominant crazy-ass stickhandling and finishing).

JohnM · Guru

Finally a penalty against them!

plouf · Guru

Montreal power play. Can we get the insurance goal? I will finally sit down if we do....crazy game.

Goaltending on both sides is suspect in this one.

Here we go, massive opportunity to completely deflate Carolina in OT!!!

Why didnt Gainey have Bonk and Koivu out there????????? Even a Pee wee coach would think of that

davidb · Guru

Damn so close could have been 2 zip in series. I say we need to take it to them early and often. Carolina will be flying I say Kovy in OT hey Ill take anyone in OT

Gainey and carbo have shown their inexperience as coaches tonite. Putting Koivu out (without another center) to take a draw with a minute left and the goalie on the bench was just plain stupid and inexcusable. Garth Murray loses the draw cleanly (probably Murray's first face off in his career) and the game is tied. John asked if we had an advantage over Laviolette in coaching. Not tonite. What was BONK DOING ON THE BENCH IN THAT SITUATION?!???He has outcoached Gainey big time. Not only on the draw that tied the game but can someone tell me why we are so bad on the penalty kill with those guys coaching? Pfft.

davidb · Guru

Thats a good way to loomat it. We win and deflate them WE need this win. This game is the turning point of the series. WE go up by 2 we can win. They come back its a new ball game.

macneil · Guru

should have been a penalty on the hit from behind on dandenault

Nil d · Guru

Call me dramatic, but............ next goal wins the series.

davidb · Guru

I just posted the same thing. This is the pivitol game. WE do not need carolina going into Habland with momentum Lets deflate them right now

I do not think you are being dramatic at all. If we lose this game uncle Mo has changed dressing rooms.

I agree. And the PP they were on,was more like how to kill 2 minutes.

Let's hope for OT success!

Murray's actually got a lot of experience at centre, so I bet he's mad at himself on that one.

(anyway, Koivu's done better than Bonk in the circle all season. After he got over his bad stretch early in game 1 you'd have to go with him)

As for being bad on the PK, two goals on 5 on 3? Hey, give the PK guys a break here. Undisciplined penalties are MUCH MORE of the problem.

5-5 after four periods of play.

davidb · Guru

Damn, our D men look some tired. I think BG should start dressing 7 D men, if we have any

Nil d · Guru

Great first OT period (my 49-year-old heart is beating at about 150 BPM). Three missed PP chances hurts - and the "evening" will surely go against us soson.

Ribeiro has missed some pile of chances tonight! He should have brought his stick on the ice instead of his pop gun............

Go Habs!!!!!!!

Win one for the Sheller!

JohnM · Guru

I think AB called for seven defencemen in the last game. AB, you should've called it for tonight.

I was thinking the same thing. They miss Souray big time - especially on the point on the PP. The other guys are shooting blanks, especially Rivet.

That and broken sticks - the Curse of Brisebois!
