Hockey

Montreal beat Pittsburgh 3-2 to tie the series up at 2 games apiece! Can Montreal knock off another giant? It looks like it may be possible.

Detroit crushed San Jose 7-1(I thought that Detroit would have won, but I was certainly surprised by the final score.) Detroit played this game like they should have been playing from the start. It is more than likely a case of too little, too late, but you never know with those pesky Wings.

Johan Franzen had a 6 point night, getting 4 goals and 2 assists. Nabokov was shaky from the get-go and was pulled after allowing 5 goals on 9 shots. Saturday should be a kick-ass game!

Bad news on the injury front for Boston(again!). They have lost David Krejci for the remainder of the playoffs with a broken wrist. Bad luck for the Bruins as he was playing excellent in the playoffs.

Jordan Staal was back in the lineup only three days after undergoing surgery for a severed tendon in his foot. Talk about tough! He only had limited ice time, but still....three days!!!

The Habs had better do something. Down 3-0, game 2 in the 3rd period, not looking good for them. I know it's still early in the series, but the rope is growing taut.

I think Leighton has taken a page from the Halak that faced Washington in the last two games of that series and his play has shown that.

Philadelphia is playing great hockey right now, and to start the series with two straight shutouts does not bode well for the Habs. It's only two games, and anything can still happen, but Montreal is going to have to play some desperation hockey now(again).

Chicago beat San Jose 4-2, and now hold a 2-0 game advantage. Could it be a Philly/Chicago final?

At least Montreal won tonight. I hope that they keep it up for three more games in this series.

I hope it continues to be a good series. Halak played like the he did in the two previous series. The whole team looked good tonight.

They didn't just win, Ila. They showed that they were not just going to lie down and give up. It was a good game all-around for them tonight, and getting 5 goals off of Leighton after being shut out twice by him will increase Montreal's confidence big time.


I do have one thing I want to say however. I am getting sick and tired of the thugs in Montreal who, in the guise of being Habs fans, decide to loot and pillage whether Montreal wins or loses a series(sometimes even a game). They are not the true fans, and they put the real fans in a bad light. I liken them to the hooligans that show up at soccer games just to pick fights. They don't give a shit about the teams that are playing, they just want to fight. They are not fans, nor are they worthwhile human beings.

I'll step off my soapbox now, but I had to get it off my chest.

shadows, I am very glad that you wrote this -- especially in a post in which you are replying to ila. Personally, I was absolutely horrified tonight when I saw ila tonight on the news among those who had been taken into custody by the Service de police de la Ville de Montr?al, charged with pillaging. They flashed his mugshot on the television here in Boston. See below.

I read a news story about the hooligans in Montreal. Apparently the ones who start all the problems don't even go to the games. They show up on the streets after the games are over and then when there are still lots of people around, to use as cover, the hooligans start their looting and vandalizing. A lot of them have been identified because of video surveillance. I would like to see these jerks caught and put away for a long time.

Well, since you avoided any reference to your mugshot posted above, shall we assume that your post constitutes your opening defense in the Municipal Court?

You and I both know the justice system sucks ass here in Canada, so I doubt any significant punishment will be handed out to these "poor misguided youths".
