Even if the Bolts win this, I don't think the series is over remotely...

Habs been mostly outplaying them which is weird considering Tampa was the much better regular season team (statistically)

That and the fact that Tampa at home with the series lead screams complacency for me.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Stadium is so quiet lol.

But they're quiet in French

 

[fallout]

Does Bishop have a hole in his chest? Why do they keep shooting it there?

It is said that if one hits the lightning bolt in just the right spot, he'll explode.

 

[Cindro]

well that's just about completely insane

Can't a man just meet up with some strangers for an entertaining night on the town without it turning to gun threats? Chicago is a god-forsaken city, and I can't wait to move out of here.

Also I thought this was Marvie.

Seeing demons were they don't appear. You might want to get that checked out.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Pretty sure Marvie is the other guy in the story.

I know it isn't Marvie for a fact because Marvie actually has a gun and him and Crazed go shooting all the time.

But they're quiet in French

Le Sssh

Watching the Habs tank is a great way to wind down the weekend.

The Habs were the better team and outplayed the Sens for the most part last round, but all of their wins were by one goal. Their offence has dried up at the worst time of the year for some reason.

It will come down to their mentality. How they react being down 2-0 will say a lot about the core of this team. They've played much better than that, but that's hockey.

 

[KernelPanic]

And what if Markov is injured and he proceeds to kick ass on whatever other team he's on?

He's 10,000 years old. Doubt it

The only way they're winning is if Price gets 4 shutouts.

Yep. Shooting at like 3.5% or something I read. Sh% regression... it's a thing. Unfortunately playoffs don't give you much time to regress, they need to hope it happens next game (or in the 3rd period here).

 

[ZeroGravity]

HEDMAN!!

 

[DrForester]

Twist the knife!

 

[Alligatorjandro]

nice

 

[lamaroo]

Real terrible power play ZG!

 

[mysteriousmage09]

They have Price down so bad lol.

Game over.

 

[Zombie James]

Hahahahahaha

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Price

 

[RC]

The PK in PK Subban clearly does not stand for penalty kill.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Real terrible power play ZG!

;D

 

[zroid]

where the fuck are these PP goals coming from? Cooper opened his bottle of voodoo.

 

[Red_Man]

If they lose in 5, at least I'll get to witness the riots in person

 

[lamaroo]

At least I'll get to watch Sunday night TV.

 

[massivekettle]

Habs have been terrible past 4-5 games. No wonder Sens have nearly come back.

Confidence. This team thrives on it. All it takes is one.

It stands for Price Killer

You didn't watch the last game did you?

Unfavorable refs amirite

1 good call out of like 6. Refs redeemed.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Bolts power play looks excellent

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Now hopefully the Wild don't allow 3 goals in the 1st today.

 

[zroid]

Confidence. This team thrives on it. All it takes is one.

I'll take that Stamkos hatty now please

 

[Ether_Snake]

Doesn't matter with the penalties and all that, this was the expected outcome, I said it before the first game, they will not beat Bishop.

 

[massivekettle]

I have. They had countless opportunities to put it to bed and they did not succeed. TB played badly last game and they did not take advantage.

Price is a better goalie than Bishop. What do you mean by "they will not beat Bishop"?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Habs suck, Jays suck, Pac sucks (and probably Flames suck).

I understand this reference.

 

[HadesGigas]

So... yeah all these penalties are hilarious looking shown back to back on the highlights.

Maybe after the first 2 or 3 times they should stop randomly cross checking and punching people who aren't even involved in the play?

Agreed. Hopefully they allow 4 or 5.

Right. It's not like one team is getting called for ticky tack shit and not the other. If the Habs aren't cross checking dudes and running blatant interference they might not be in this mess.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

A Ducks vs Blackhawks WCF is going to be so boring.


Even though I'll Cheer for the Ducks.

Montreal has no offense, who's going to score on Bishop?

Pacioretty is still seeing double, and everyone else either shoots the puck wide, or directly into Bishop's chest.

Because it's always been this way against Tampa and Bishop, they shoot a lot and nothing goes in. Last year it was different because he wasn't in the net, but I knew it'd be no differently than in regular season. Price being a better goalie doesn't make the Habs better at beating Bishop.

 

[Clydefrog]

WTF HABS

 

[GSG Flash]

Hahaha Morrow

Some of these superstitions are so ridiculous.

Yeah I called the Habs last year cause Bishop was out. This year though it seems the offence has just disappeared though and Carey has carried the team. Isn't a bad way to play since Hasek took the Sabres to the finals but Tampa has two freakin good lines as their players really developed and it's not just Stamkos. Habs did control the play during the early part of the second but that Stamkos goal just sucked the life out of them. I think they're done this game barring a Leaf-like Tampa collapse. The series won't be a sweep though.
