We have not played well enough to win the last three games, let's face it they're number 2 we're number 7 and it shows. Yes, they are definately a dirty cheap shot team! Unfortunately Montreal is a team of Lady Byng candidates who really need to get dirtier!!! Ward's killing us, the kid's on fire and with no screens and traffic we're making it really easy for him. The Habs need a heart transplant really soon...that was about 25 minutes of good hockey by them...another game like that and they deserve to be golfing with the Leafs!

The good news is, the Canadian womens team has offered Hayley Wickenheiser straight up for Ribero. Good trade, we get added toughness and the womens team gets another player who plays like a girl (Sorry MC, couldn't resist)

Hey..... I'd take Hayley over a few of our player anyday!!! If she "plays like a girl" how can I take offense? She's awesome. Ribby could learn lots

Ribby's been trying, you can tell. But if he is a Hab next season, I'd be surprised. This team needs to go Blue Jays and buy a bunch of F.A.s

You've got that right...I'd hold number 71 for her! After watching Theo this afternoon and Ribero this series..in al honesty I've got to say they traded the wrong member of the Theo posse. I've never liked Ribero. Too soft and a primadonna with no credentials. Other players are guilty tonight, Ribero is ALWAYS guilty of being soft.

Yes Figgy, They've given us some thrills this year, and I'm still not ruling out a turnaround this series, but they've shown much weakness that I hope will be fixed in the summer. Toughness down the middle is primary!

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 Please God Help us -- Edited by davidb at 22:00, 2006-04-30

I was coming here to post excatly the same thing. That thing about putting the puck in the net after the whistle they did that three times. But in all honesty tonight was Montreal's game to win. The refs were good for MOntreal but if i was a Canes fan i'd be pretty pissed

Also about the Canes being cheap does anyone else feel they dive alot? I noticed it many times like after Brindamour clearly interferred with Huet he went down and tried to draw a penelty against montreal.
