Your blind prejudice against the Bruins is laughable. It was SUBBAN that said he hoped game 7 was "nasty and dirty". No one seems to cry foul when the Habs give cheap cross checks in the first period.

Oh well. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Boston is the team everyone loves to hate.

Go back and look at post #185. I found a dish of Blackbird and have eaten most of it.

agreed

Don't want to get called for interfering with the goalie? Don't run through the crease when the puck isn't there.

you were watching a different game than me. I saw Marchand going hard toward the crease and get pushed off balance and into it before he could stop. Even the people calling the game said as much

The 'interference' call in the third was a no-brainer, there is zero tolerance for interferingafter a dump in when you are still facing the opponent. This rule has been strictly enforced since the lock-out before last. Turn around, move your feet, and make him take a longer path to the puck. That was a lazy penalty taken by a tired player. It was also a high risk play with marginal benefit at the wrong time.

agreed

In the end Montreal outworked the Bruins and won on merit. Lucky bounces? Maybe, this is a sport where you make you luck. Boston had their fair share of luck early on, as I alluded to earlier.

unfortunately, agreed. The better team won.

There's always next year...


Fore!

At least your WIFE has RANGER fan will be happy.

It all came down to scored goal.

In the last 2 games, it was 7-1 in favour of the Habs.

With 1 goal its impossible to win 2 games and you would have lucky to win one as in 1-0, in a playoff, just not happening...

[nostatic]

wow - I didn't expect that...

[Por_sha911]

7-1 so far.

I guess even with 6 men on the ice and Subban getting away with interference

hockey triumphs over thuggery.

Make no mistake, the Bruins lost to the better playing team. I'm just glad to see that someone will be able to hand the Habs what they should have gotten from us.

[flatbutt]

Sacred feces what a drubbing! That second goal by the Rangers was incredible.

[JJ 911SC]

I could have work an extras 90 minutes on the car...

I quit at 4-1.

Well might as well get it out all in one sot

Hockey isn't an afternoon sport.

Didn't even know it was on TV.

Wonder how the ratings were?

[rfuerst911sc]

Rangers/Habs was close until the puck dropped ........wow what a drubbing. Your at home, in the semi's how about showing up ?

[pors1968]

It look like the first game at BOSTON GARDEN but the hab (PRICE ) stole the game not this time .

[Hawkeye's-911T]

I'm with billy on this one -

Hockey isn't an afternoon sport.

That was just too early & I am sure a good number of our eastern bretheren share similar feelings. In the final analysis - a "big-a$$ed beat-down'. I think next game will be a different story.

Cheers

True hockey fans scoff at your feeble attempt at an excuse.
That's like saying "wait, LeMans started at 3 pm local time and is more than a few hours?" You take the time to know up front.

Both teams played at the same time, one showed up, one didn't. One had a week to be ready. One had two days.

Game 2:
Refs aren't buying into the Habs diving like in the previous round. To play a rookie over Budaj says a lot. Subban is channeling his inner Marchand.

To sum it up, no Price = no cup for you.
I'm really broken up over this.

Probably but this will last for a while:

[pors1968]

At least we have to play two more games.If we get beat by RANGER .New-York RANGER will be my team for the Stanley Cup series. Joe i think you hate MONTREAL HAB.

Actually, even with excellent goaltending, its about scoring goals.

In their respective last 2 games, Boston scored 1 goal and Montreal did not do much better with only 3 goals.
