How can a...It was best that Rangers won last night! How can any knowledgable sports fan not see this? Had NYR lost yesterday, Habs would have backed in to EIGHTH place - the game Saturday meaningless the team already on a bad run and head into the playoffs to face a team who has WON- who has won 66.7% of their games whereas Canadiens have won LESS than half of their games and are 32 points behind them. Plus Washington is on a 5 win streak that will be 6 heading into these playoffs. PLUS Washington has scored 102 MORE goals than the Habs. So Habs would have gone into this series on a horrendous run even if they won what would have been a nothing game against Toronto.<br /><br />Now because Philly lost, Habs have their own destiny of playing Washington or not AND of making the playoffs in their own hands and if they win can go into the playoffs knowing they WON their way in NOT backed in the worst way possible AND can play a much easier team.<br /><br />All they need is a regulation tie and they make the playoffs, a win and they avoid Washington. And would have their confidence back which had NYR lost last night Habs would have gone into Washington next week with no momentum or confidence at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703672817425686916.post-52937922080323277142010-04-09T23:42:19.228-04:002010-04-09T23:42:19.228-04:00The Habs will no doubt be welcomed with cheers as ...The Habs will no doubt be welcomed with cheers as loud and passionate as Montreal can muster tomorrow night. <br /><br />But they will be fleeting.<br /><br />A lazy, sluggish start, and the boobirds come out. <br /><br />A wasted, ugly power play, and the boobirds come out.<br /><br />Habs give up the first goal, a short burst of "go habs go" will be followed up a couple minutes later with boos.<br /><br />I don't like this situation one bit. Given how the Habs are seemingly incapable of playing 60 minutes of good hockey, I don't see 20 or even 40 minutes as being enough tomorrow night. I know the Leafs have spent the last week on their back, thinking of the links, but they haven't had much to play for this year. Burke wants this, after the reception he got last summer at the draft, and I'm sure that message has filtered down to the team. They will not be an easy opponent tomorrow night.<br /><br />It feels like the type of game where the Canadiens are battling multiple opponents: the Leafs, karma, and themselves.<br /><br />This really has the potential to get ugly, and anyone in the phone booth tomorrow night should be prepared for an ugly scene if the Habs manage to blow in regulation.Kyle Rousselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16706378133759064138noreply@blogger.com
