    hahahahahahahahahahAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
  2. Jude Hannaford from Canada writes: That's the spirit John. Injuries are a bigger factor for the Bruins. The HAbs showed that they could play well without Koivu, Komiserek, and Boullion. Depth, speed and a killer powerplay will be the demise of the Boston Bruins. I don't see how they will be able to manage to stay out of the bin, being as slow as they are cause they're toast if they can't.

    Vive Les Canadiens
  3. Pat Billings from CDN, Canada writes: Habs from coast to coast. What a treat..
  4. boom boom from Canada writes: Good luck to the Habs, as I'd love to see a dream Flames-Habs final, but Boston is going to be a lot tougher than you think!
  5. Neil no more last name from Mississauga, Canada writes: "If they want to come hard and hit, we'll move the puck quickly," Carbonneau said. "What they can't see, they can't hit."

    Now that's coaching. No offense to Koivu or Bouillion, but Komisarek's presence would have been missed the most if he was out. Tho Koivu can be pretty clutch and has the experience. But with Komi back, the Habs can sit O'Byrne and let a vet who can move the puck back in.

    Just hope he doesn't turn it over too much, or play like a marshmellow.

    MTL opens with a 3-0 win.
  6. Jason C. from JOakville, Canada writes: I hope the Habs do great tonight, but they better start playing much better 5 on 5. They can't rely on their powerplay like they could in the regular season.
  7. Erick Langlais from Canada writes: " John LaBattaglia from Toronto, Canada writes: Go Habs, Will be in montreal for a few games in April and May. Damn this will be fun. Leafs fans don't like me driving around in my car with Ontario plates and Habs flags"

    Well, in realty the peaple used to say : Well, just another Ontarian that coming out here to have fun, we could understand why though. We all know how fun and great as well Toronto is...

    ha ha ha !
  8. Jake ---- from Canada writes: The Habs should roll right through the Bruins. It will be the second series that will be the test. Boston is lucky to even have made the playoffs.
  9. K W from Canada writes: I'm so nervous for the Habs tonight. Go Habs!
  10. Swifty J from Mtl, Canada writes: Yeah, those Habs sure are terrible 5-on-5. Ninth in the league? Pa-thet-ic.

    Now the Bruins, at 23rd overall... THAT's a 5-on-5 team!
  11. Al MacDonald from Cathedral of Hockey, Canada writes: Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the Habs the highest scoring team in the league this year?
    And the most under rated as well?

    Go Habs Go!
  12. Bruuks Brew from Canada writes: Al MacDonald - There is no correction required. You are quite right.

    Highest scoring by far.
  13. Gordon Brinson from Canada, writes: You habs fans are hilarious!! you already have the parade route planned. I am a die hard bruins fan and agree my boys have there work cut out for them. The habs look good as much as id hate to say it. Very Speedy. however the bruins have a pretty good team for playoff hockey an by no means are going to be a easy task for the habs. if it wasnt for all the injuries i think Boston would make a series out of it. Guess we will wait and see. The last two games were very close ones. i think tonight will be no different.

    Go Bruins Go!!
  14. John Hart from Peterborough, writes: Gordon Brinson, we are all Habs fans our office (save for one Wings' supporter, tolerated as an original six). None of us, "already have the parade route planned". We know the season starts fresh at this moment (now 7:09) and we know that Boston will be much better. It will be interesting to see who rises to the occasion on each team. I would wish you and your team good luck, but . . . .
