| That's the sad part. Nobody seems to care whether he returns or not. All you have to do is look at this board when he posted messages to see how lively it was. Since he left this board has been like watching paint dry. I know there's been people posting on here asking about the races and who's racing, that sort of thing. That's great but it's also great having someone lighten the mood once in a while. I think it's safe to say he won't be back so this is the last time I'll mention his name or post anything about him. Maybe he'll shock us all someday and return. I sure hope so. But I'm not counting on that happening.

| not getting any better either.see a little of the game last night they beat down the net but birion stood on his head.kind of like what they did to the bruins in the 1st round.this birion guy i see him play a few games before not bad for a backup who had to ride the pine i think it was in buffalo.cheering for the sharks would like to see them win the cup.they are the only team still alive in this years playoffs who have never won a cup.a newf in the lineup playing well also.one in detroit to i know.

| One with the Habs too but he's not playing! Really the Habs didn't do much wrong last night but Philly took advantage of a couple of breaks, much like game one, but the Habs at least pulled that one out! I think if they continue to press the way they are they'll wear Biron down, not to mention the Flyers defence, much like they did against the Bruins. A couple of posts last night too! Biron played well but was very fortunate on some shots but hey, they don't ask how, just how many! I still have my doubts about any team where Joe Thorton is the go-to guy, especially in the playoffs, but he has been better this year so far! I still say watch for Dallas! The only reason they didn't get past the first round last year was because they couldn't score, but that doesn't seem to be a problem now! The Sharks have to win tonight!

| Our Jr A team made it to the second round for the first time since 2000, but lost in 5! You shouldn't hate to say that about the Habs, at least not to me! I cheer for the Habs and have since I was very young, but I'm not like the fans you deal with, believe me! I never razz anybody about their team unless they start it, and even then I don't like to! I'm not near as bad as my father was! You could absolutely not say one bad thing about the Habs to Dad! The one thing I wish could've happened was he could've lived at least another couple years longer, so he could've seen them win in '93. He would've loved that, especially all those OT wins! Man, he would've went nuts after some of those goals went in! All I know is that Mom and I cheered extra hard for him that year! Dad would really like this team, especially Carbo, he was one of his favorites when he played! I'm hopeful the Habs can get past Philly, but I agree if they do it'll be a six or seven gamer! San Jose is in trouble! I would be awfully tempted to start Boucher in game 3! I can't see Nabokov getting any better! Wow, twenty after 5(six twenty where you are!) already! Time flies when you're having fun!

| I'm really sorry about your Dad. I often wondered when you were saying he had cancer last year, but I didn't want to ask. Counting Dad, I've had 9 relatives who have or had cancer. When I said I wish Dad could've lived long enough to see the Habs win the cup, I meant only if he wasn't suffering like he was, say the cancer was in remission or something. Did you watch the Habs Flyers game? I have never in my entire life seen a team catch as many breaks as Philly this series! I mean, the Habs are all over them and bounce a shot or two off the post, then Philly comes down and takes a shot off a leg and in or something like that! I'm not just saying this because I'm a Habs fan, I would say the same if it was the other way around! But man, you gotta start thinking the breaks have to start going Montreal's way eventually! I just hope it's not too late if they do! I know you needs breaks here and there, but this is getting ridiculous! I would start Boucher in game 3 in Dallas! Remember a few years ago he had that long shutout string? Who knows? Good move by Carbo to pull Price after the second! That could be the break he needs! It's not that he's playing bad, but he's not catching any breaks, pucks bouncing in off sticks, legs! Montreal has to make life alot tougher for Biron! He's playing well but he's seeing almost every shot! I know each series has a long ways to go, but wouldn't a Flyers Pens series by entertaining? Especially the way the fans in Philly love the Pens, especially Crosby!

| your right you need to get afew bounces to go far in the playoffs.i have seen a period here and there of the habs flyer series have been working.maybe price a little tired maybe a rest could help do you think the pressure maybe getting to him alot for a young goalie to handle.you cant stop what you dont see.when you say go to the net do you mean avery like going to the net.boucher played in the playoffs for the flyers a few years back he didnt look to impressive.that shutout streak your talking about wasnt that with the coyotes.boucher is hot and cold.the cancer didnt get father but it didnt help he was diabetic went into in coma one night when he was home by himself.when mom got home he was just about gone but they saved him but he lost his kidneys had to do dialisis(not sure about the spelling)last going off he was to sick to go to dialisis thats what got him.

| Once again I truly am sorry. Boucher did have one impressive playoff run with the Flyers in 2000! They did blow a 3-1 lead in the semis, but it sure wasn't Boucher's fault, just Brodeur got hot at the wrong time for the Flyers! Philly only scored 3 goal in the last 3 games, but Boucher kept them in every game! At this point, almost anything would be better than the way Nabokov is playing! I just can't for the life of me understand the Avs going back with Theodore! Budaj has allowed one goal on almost 30 shots in relief, and the one goal he did allow was one a play where he made 2 good close in saves and nobody could clear the rebound! I don't know if Price is tired, because he hasn't faced an awful lot of shots, they have outshot Boston and Philly in every game! Even if Price and the Habs don't win this series, there's no need to push the panic button! Young team with almost every one under contract for at least the next couple years! Besides, how often does a team that comes out of nowhere to have a really good season win the cup in their first try? How many times did Detroit fail before winning it all? New Jersey? Even the Habs got swept by Boston in round 2 in 92 after winning the division, then went on to win the cup the following year! Winning takes character, and character comes from adversity! Unfortunately, adversity usually comes in the form of playoff failure! Don't get me wrong, I haven't gave up on the Habs all season and I'm not about to start now! Maybe this will be the team to buck that trend! Time will tell!

| the habs are far from being knocked from the playoffs yet.they may still win this series.forgot about that flyers series with the devils that was a good series.is that the series were lindros came back from injury to play games 6 and 7 to get hit by stevens in game seven and get injuried again.i agree you have to learn how to win a little adversity builds strong character.among the teams you didnt mention the nyi lost a couple of tough playoff series one against the leafs before they won 4 in a row and make it to the final 5 years in a row.i mention the islanders my opinion the best playoff team i ever seen.the habs and flyers have had some dandy playoff series in the past some nasty this one could turn into a classic yet.

| Yeah, that's the series where the big E came back for game 7 only to be knocked out by Stevens! A clean hit but very unfortunate for Lindros! I had said one time that I considered Lindros to be overated, but I should change that a bit! He would've been even more dominent had it not been for suffering so many concussions! A victim of his stlye of play, I guess! In that sense, I fear that Ovechkin may not have a long career! I'm actually surprised that the one part of the series that Montreal has been able to match the flyers is in the physical department, I only wish it would translate into more goals! As long as they don't get caught up in playing Philly's game too much! How about those Stars? And how about those Pens? They're making it look easy! Montreal or Philly will be in very tough if the Pens advance, and it looks like they will! Don't believe Carbo for a second when he says he doesn't know who his goalie will be for game 4! I would bet he has already told Price he's the guy! Coaching head games!

| i think carbo will start halak tonight.price has been struggling the last few games.if he goes with price and he has another bad game and loses he will be second guessed by all montreal fans and media for staying with a struggling goalie.its a tough decision to have to make for a coach go with the guy who got you there or take a gamble in a must win game with a guy who has been backing up down the stretch and into the playoffs.

| Yeah, it's no wonder coaches go grey and age alot in a short period of time! Look at Mario Trembley! I agree the fans and media will be second guessing Carbo if he goes with Price and they lose, but not as much as they will if he puts Halak in and they lose! That's the beauty of being a fan, we can sit back and watch how it plays out and while some of us are cheering for one team or another, we have no responsibilty and our jobs aren't on the line! As for the media, don't get me started on those morons!(some, not all! there are some good media types!) Sometimes too much rest isn't a good thing! Personally, I think about 3 to 4 days off between rounds is perfect! Just enough to let some nagging injuries heal, but not enough time off to become rusty!

| I don't think any team has went undefeated through the playoffs, but I know Edmonton only lost 2 in 88! They went undefeated at home that playoff year! They gotta go back with Price next game! People can say what they want about all the psychology involved in sports, but the bottom line is that all these guys are atheletes that want nothing more than to get out there and play! I say leave the psychology to the professionals! Well, I guess all the old cliches come out now! One shift, one period, one game at a time! When you think of it, the pressure kinda shifts to Philly now! After all, they still have to close the deal! Same with the Pens and Wings! Dallas didn't handle that pressure all that well tonight!

| It's a lose lose situation, unless they rally to win the series! I was saying a couple games ago(not on here, but to friends) that Ryder should be playing! And Dandenault! Take out Begin and either Latendress or Lapierre! Another bonehead play by Begin last night to cost them a game! He also cost them the season last year by taking that high sticking major againt the Leafs! You're right, a goal here and there will make all the difference, and I like Ryder's chances point blank in front than Begin, Latendress or Lapierre! As for Dandenault, lots of experience and three cups! Biron is playing really well, but remember, the Habs have still scored 10 goals in 4 games, so it isn't like their offence has completly dried up! They need some early goals instead of always having to rally late! Also, the Habs rallied 4 years ago from the same defecit against a far better(than Philly) Boston team! And they did so by winning twice in Boston, a place they never won in a few years ago! I mentioned before that I haven't given up on them all year and I'm not gonna now! If I didn't think they could come back, I wouldn't even bother watching any more games, and I have every intention of watching them Saturday night!

| Lapierre? He's not any worst than most and not as bad as many! Of course, if he played for any other team, you would say he's just trying to throw the opposition off their game! I was only kidding with the bandwagon comments! From what I've read from you over the last year or so, it seems you have enough trouble staying on your own team's bandwagon! If Ryder is done in Montreal, he has no one to blame but himself! Carbo was very patient with Ryder all season, but what can you do when you have a guy who scores goals and does very little who isn't scoring? Just when it appeared as though he was gonna break out, he'd go another 2 weeks without a goal! It would be different if he brought something else to the table, but he's not really a set-up guy, he's not great defensively and for a good sized guy he don't hit an awful lot! No, the more I think about it, I'd rather have a "role player" who hits and plays with some intensity in the line up than a part time goal scorer going through the motions! Especially in the playoffs, where everything is that much more intense! It would be different if he was a 60 or 70 goal scorer, cause then he may not have to play with as much intensity to make an impact! Don't get me wrong, if Carbo put Ryder in the line up, I'd like nothing more than for him to prove me wrong! I don't care what anyone says or thinks, giving Price a break in my opinion is the best thing that could've happened! Like you mentioned earlier, maybe he just needed a rest and a break from it all! After all, he's only 20! Playing goal in Montreal is one of the most pressure filled positions in all of pro sports! Roy handled it well, but it's a much different game now than it was 22 years ago! As for the fans saying he's another Roy, like I've said many times, there are dumb fans of every team! EVERY team! I tell those fans, instead of him being the second coming of Patrick Roy, let's just let him be the first coming of Carey Price! It should be a good one tonight!

| As for the media saying this and saying that about why he started Halak and why he's going back with Price, I've stated my feelings many times about those bozos! Many of the sports media types have never played a game of organized sports in their lives! Or coached! This thing here with Carbo and his goalies, it's just another in an extremely long line of the media trying to create a story and controversy where there isn't any!

| Reider, it's amazing how you see things the way you WANT to see it! The Habs only offered Ryder 1 year? Maybe they knew something we didn't! Maybe they saw this coming! Maybe they were hoping he would have a good season and trade him for someone at the deadline, but he was so bad this year they couldn't even do that, no one wanted him, at least not enough to send anyone of any quality the other way! So if he was french he wouldn't have been sat out? Gee, wasn't that Latendresse that was also sat out a few times this year, including playoff games! I could've swore that Lapierre was up and down from Hamilton a couple times this year! You cant't get any more french than those guys! No, Ryder was sat out because he scores goals and very little else, and he hardly ever did that! At least those other guys bring other stuff to the table than goals! eg, physical play, better defensively, more intensity! Like I said earlier, Carbo was very patient with Ryder and didn't start sitting him until his offence pretty much dried up and his plus minus plummeted! He is a UFA July 1, you think he would want to have a good year this year so he can get more money next year! At least that's what the good players do!

| Outworked? What in the hell series were you watching? If I was john Stevens, I would send the entire team to Atlantic City to the casinos! If they have the kind of luck there like they had on the ice, they will all be much richer then they already are! I have never seen a team so ridiculously outplayed yet win a series in 5 games like that! Heart? Sh*thouse luck and a hot/flukey goalie is more like it! That's what certain people say on here when mentioning Montreal's cup wins when Roy was the star, so call it the way it is now! I don't care that the series was over in five games, I will never in a million years admitt that the Flyers were the better team in this series! NEVER! By the way, who is ollie?

| they were intimatated by the flyers they didnt want to pay the physical price against a bigger tougher team.flukey or not it dont matter they dont ask how they ask how many.if flukes didnt count the habs wouldnt have beat the bruins they were outplayed in 5 of the 7 games and still won didnt hear the habs fans say anything about that.what goes around comes around.talkking about flukes 93 comes to mind.young team you better win in a hurry because they will all want big money in a couple of years you wont be able to afford to keep them all you wont be able to get under the salary cap.just like reiders team they had to start dumping guys to expensive to pay all them.going to start this summer when they lose mark streit.

| Hey man, whatever you're on, can I have some? I don't plan on taking drugs, but if I ever did start, your drug seems to make you see things the way you want to! When you say treating people like sh*t, I sure hope you're not referring to me! I treat people the way they treat me! I also hope it's not about Ryder again! Like I said, Ryder is a part time goal scorer, but does very little else! Carbo was extremely patient with him! I don't consider it treating someone like crap because they were sat out because they would go very long stretches without scoring, had a very poor plus minus and just generally was not good for the team! I also said it would be different if he was a big goal scorer, but he scored 30 last year, not 80! He brings very little else to the table, and I can guarentee you ANY team would've done the same! Here is something else I can guarentee you all! If Ryder was from Manitoba or somewhere like that, you would all be agreeing with every word I say! But noooo, he's a fellow Newfie, and I guess you people all stick together, regardless of how stupid it makes you look! Pack mentality, I guess! As for me, I'd be saying the same thing if he was from any province, state, country or if he was my next door neighbor! Yes, Montreal will lose players, everybody does these days! It;s hard to keep an entire team together for years and years anymore! But the Habs should do as well as some and better than many over the next few years! Bob Gainey is a smart man and he always make sure the Habs have lots of cap room! I mentioned in another post that the Habs were fortunate at times against Boston, but game 7 was a truer indication of how far apart the teams were talent-wise! But to say they were outplayued in 5 games! Duh! There have been very few teams over the years that didn't catch a few break on the way to a series win and/or a cup(Carolina 06 come to mind?), including the Habs, but the Flyers took that to new levels in this series! I know, they are still advancing and Montreal isn't, but I can just hear some of you morons whining and crying and saying they don't deserve it, if the situation was reversed! I am going tom say this again, only because I know how much you all love to hear it! No matter who wins it all this spring, the best any team can do is to pull within 13 cup of Montreal, and that's only if Detroit wins! But of course if Detroit wins, I bet not one person(besides me) will mention their breaks along the way! So far, Ellis of Nashville letting in a shot that was taken in I think Memphis! Colorado having half their lineup out due to injuries! Also getting to face first-round Theodore in round 2! This is just so far! If Montreal was advancing to round three and had those kind of breaks go their way, that would be all you idiots would talk about! I just used Detroit as an example, but I'm sure I could use a few of the other teams this year as well! I don't care what you say about the Habs, because I WILL have a response to it, a response that will put all you bitches in your place! Choke on that! HABS FOREVER!!!!

| I wouldn't exactly say my feathers are ruffled, I'm just defending my team! Oh but I forgot, Habs fans are not allowed to do that! You know, I think I've figured it out! I have figured out why so many people hate the Habs and/or their fans! The 24 cups(many, many more than anybody else, including the Oilers measly 5) doesn't help, but there is something else! I think the main reason is because Habs fans are very passionate and take no crap from fans of teams who have won dick all or very little! Of course, fans of other teams who are like that are just "enthusiastic" or "passionate" or something along those lines, while Habs fans like that are "arrogant" or something or other! Habs fans are the closest-knit group of fans in the NHL, and are the most vocal and passionate and are not afraid to stick up for their team and for the most part stick with them through thick and thin, and alot of fans don't like that! So it all comes down to just plain jealousy, not only of all their cups but because of the loyalty of the fans! I am goddamn proud to be a Habs fan, and every Habs fan I know has been so for a long time and feels the same way! Fans of other teams can only wish they had the same loyalty exhibited by fans of the Habs! As for us "bragging" about the 24 cups, it's not bragging when you can back it up! So, when you run down my team, I will continuiously remind you of said cups! I would almost put money on the fact that if your team doesn't win a cup within a year or two, you will jump on another bandwagon! Math mustn't be your strongest subject, because if you add it up, Montreal's cup winning percentage is slightly higher than Edmonton's!

| what are they getting to you my little buddy.hab haters will always be hab haters no matter what you say or what kind of reasoning you give.the only people who cheer for the habs down here are the ones who dont know how much grief the people from labelle province have given us since conferderation.enough about that political stuff.you sure about that winning %.habs 24 cups since 1908 last in 1993.were they all won by the habs i dont know for sure you can tell me.the oilers joined in 79 from wha.won there first in 84 i believe there last i think in 90.thats 5 in 11 years.not to sure about these years and the years they won see if we can figure it out together.with only 2 brain cells i sure cant do it alone.

| Yeah, the Habs percentage is a lttle higher! You're right, Hab haters are Hab haters no matter the reasoning! But Habs fans are Habs fans, no matter what "reasoning" is thrown our way.! Oh well, I guess when a team has won that much, you're bound to get alot of jealousy! I have a very intriguing question I want to ask you and everybody else, one that I want people to think hard about! If the main reason people hate the Habs is because they've won so much and have had such powerhouse teams over the years, but now people say they're just another team and have been so for a number of years, why do they still hate them! Very intriguing indeed!
