I will admit that I have yet to become full engaged in the 08 playoffs. I watched the Habs game 7 victory over the Bruins, I was in full Hab regalia, and I even have a playoff bread, but my life outside of the world of hockey is, well, far more exciting at the moment. Why its exciting um, that story is meant for a different blog, so I will not get into it here.
As for round 2, I am content that the Habs are matched up with the Flyers. As much as I believe that the league would have loved a Crosby vs. Ovechkin battle in the second round, the idea of the Habs squaring off against the Rangers had me worried. I think the Hab's speed gives them the edge against the slow plodding Flyers. If the Habs play their game, and if Price holds up, which I think he will, the kid is something special, I believe the Habs can win this series in 5 or 6.
GO HABS GO!!

1) We agree that the rangers would have posed a tougher opponent. Your team can throw 3 pretty good lines at Philly and just can't see their defense and especially Biron holding up to that onslaught
2) Wonder if the running the goalie tactics that the Flyers successfully employed against the caps will work here
Nah, see that only works against Huet, plus Komisarek will make sure that Philly does not try and goon Price. Plus well if the Habs are on their game, they should have the Flyers trapped in their own end, and well have their heads spinning. FINGERS CROSSED.
The Flyers will look like "Regan" in the Exorcist! ;)
HA, very nice turn of phrase there mikado, nearly spit some java.
The Habs put out just enough effort to beat the Flyers last night. Had it not been for a Richards brainfart, the Flyers would have won this one. Oh well karma is a bitch.

Sadly in game 2 , Montreal played their game but, Biron was hot, and Pricey was NOT! :(
Missed game 3, but from what I have read it looks like Price might be a little tired, or rattled. I guess if he is really the ice in veins type, we will see him bounce back and be a warrior for the rest of the series. FINGERS CROSSED.
He's out, Halak's in! (Fortunately)
1) The folks up your way can not be pleased that BG left his goaltending to 2 rookies. Would perhaps having Huet to play last night been a slightly better option? Hope that second round pick turns out to be a good one.
I am still digesting the second round collapse, a Habs 2007-08 post script is up coming. All will be explained then.
