  1. George S from Toronto, Canada writes: Oh please Habs don't let me down. I hope that Koivu steps up Montreal's offence and Price shuts it down on the other end. Hopefully with Koivu back Kovalev will have a chance to shine a bit more since some of the defencive pressure will be directed toward Koivu now. GO HABS!!
  2. Pat Billings from CDN, Canada writes: Habs 5-3.

    For the first time in the series, the Habs have two scoring lines and the last line change.
  3. Alberto Bayo from Canada writes: Regardless of tonights outcome, Carey Price has a bright future. He's just a kid, still gaining valuable experience, with a long career ahead of him. GO HABS GO
  4. Bob Fugger from Victoria, BC, Canada writes: I haven't been able to sleep all weekend waiting for this game!! I totally agree with you, Pat Billings: with a couple of solid scoring lines and the all-importance of having last change, we should be able to ice it.

    GO HABS GO!!!
  5. Donny Lalouche from Vancouver, Canada writes: looking forward to watching the poor kid crumble tonight. nobody but patrick roy could bear the burden of montreal's expectations.

    price is good but he's not even close to being that good.

    bye bye habs. say hello to jason spezza for me.
  6. Sue City from Ottawa, Canada writes: GO HABS GO!
  7. Sherlock Hemlock from Canada writes: I'm a Habs fan, but my money's on the Bruins.
  8. R Miller from Halifax, Canada writes: History suggests that the Habs will win tonight's game...

    However, history is history which is also what the Habs will be if all those in Blue, Blanc et Rouge uniforms don't bring their A game tonight... We need Koivu's and Kovalev's lines firing on all cylinders offensively and a lot of hits and punishment dished out by Montreal's third and fourth lines.

    Oh, Noisy fans at the Bell Centre this time too, please!

    Go Habs!

    Cheers!
  9. Popeye Dillon from North Vancouver, Canada writes: Price will be fine if his defence knows which end of the rink he plays in.
  10. North Vietnamese Troops From Mongolia from Canada writes: If the Bruins want to win - get the first goal(s) and take the crowd out of it.

    Simple as that.
  11. My sentiments exactly from Canada writes: What a hoot! On Viger and Beaver Hall Hill in Montreal, somebody has put an enormous handmade Carey Price jersey on the modern sculpture there. At lunchtime, many people stopped to take photos.
  12. Swifty J from Mtl, Canada writes: Robert Miller gets it: the Habs' D (and that includes forwards and their backchecking assignments) has been porous in the third period of the last two games, and generally outhustled by the Bruins the rest of the time in the last three games. I don't care if your goalie is Roy, Dryden, Hasek or whomever, most of the time you'll lose when you leave the netminder out to dry.

    This is one of those times when nothing but vintage sports clichés will do: the Habs have to step up and give 110% for a full 60 minutes, or they're toast.
  13. R Miller from Halifax, Canada writes: Swifty J from Mtl, Canada:

    Damn straight that I get it! Season ticket holder at the Old Forum from 1975-1983 when players like Robinson said things like, 'They judge seasons here in terms of winning the Cup or not winning the Cup. That's just the way it is.'

    The Habs are invited to the dance with the Captain from Nova Scotia in the Eastern Final this season, and they better show up for it...

    I'm working tonight, but have a beer for me... I want to hear the whiny trolls on here tomorrow morning complaining about how loud the Montreal fans were singing ...

    Go Habs!
  14. Earl Anthony from Canada writes: Win or lose both teams have surpassed expectations this year!

    Go Habs go!
  15. Gogh Forit from Canada writes: If the Habs blow tonight's game it will be viewed as a greater collapse than the Senators. Obviously the Bruins will be playing with the same intensity of the past two games. For Montreal the real proof is in the Price.
  16. PANIC! At The Ice Floe from Ottawa, Canada writes: I say the Habs choke tonight. If Boston won by fluke last game I would say MTL would win, but that game 6 against Boston reminded me too much of Buffalo-Ottawa a couple of years back. Just like Buffalo didn't give up, I think the Bruins won't quit.

    I hope the hospitals in MTL are ready for an onslaught of people with broken legs and hearts tonight!
  17. Juan Valasquez from Scarborough, Canada writes: Hopefully Montreal traffic services are ready for all the overturned band wagons that will be piling up throughout the city.

    Bruins by 2.
  18. EJ Ravensbud from Canada writes: Everybody now olay,olay,olay. There you go. Now you have done the singing before you lose.
  19. nigel martin from Canada writes: This is a very gritty team; time and again they have come back from being down. In some ways that's when they play best. The Bruins are equally gritty, but less talented. I predict a very good game.
  20. brad maddigan from Canada writes: Price will be okay.
  21. Scot Loucks from Pickering, Canada writes: I've done all I can for you Habs fans.... I just bet a beer on the Bruins.... and I NEVER win these kind of bets.

    Remote control is going to be working over time tonight.... Looking forward to the caps game as well.... I need more TV's :(

    Salut
  22. Fred Heff from cowtownCalgary, Canada writes: Come on Habs us Calgary Flames fans are counting on you to be there for the final . We will be waiting for ya.

    Bring the cup home!
  23. max from edmonton from Canada writes: I'd like to see Price buck up and win this one for his team. He seems to have a great future, but something like this can really mess with a goalie.

    The Habs did a lot of good things all year long, If they stick to the plan they should be all right.

    meanwhile.....Huet looks good eh?
  24. Swifty J from Mtl, Canada writes: Does Huet look all that good? I haven't seen any of the Caps games, but his team is down 3-2 and has surrendered more goals than the Habs in fewer games.
  25. Mariposa Belle from Leacockland, Canada writes: Game 7 - Habs vs. Bruins. It should be classic.

    Last time was what, 1979?

    I'm ready for it - case of twelve stubbies in the fridge and Jethro Tull on the turntable to drown out Don Cherry during the intermission.

    Don't have the Afro 'tho. Go Habs (last time it was Go Bruins - things change).
  26. max from edmonton from Canada writes: Well Swifty,

    Huet doesn't look too bad. I thought he was the best caps player in at least a couple of those games. The Caps haven't exactly dominated the flyers yet thats for sure.

    I am hoping that Huet gets a chance to meet the habs in the playoffs yet. Always good to watch that kind of matchup
  27. Ned Chiwalski from Calgary, Canada writes: Go Bruins Go! Go Bruins Go!!

    A classic original six match up!
  28. David H from Calgary, Canada writes: This writer has it all wrong. Carey Price is a 20 year old rookie, win or lose, he has a great future ahead of him. All eyes will be on Guy Carboneau, his coaching, or lack of coaching is on trial. He has been thoroughly outcoached up till now. The fact we are in a game seven is more his fault than the goalie.
  29. garlick toast from Canada writes: considering that the habs were predicted to miss the playoffs,they're in fine form.all they need to do is bring that form to the game.a strong fore-checking game and the power play working should be enough.
  30. Vern McPherson from writes:
    Is anyone else noticing the crappy condition of the ice in the Mont rink ?

    Couldn't they afford to paint the lines ??
  31. Ricky for a Centrist Canada from Canada writes:
    The Price is right so far....3-0 Habs. Price has several huge saves.

    OLE, OLE OLE OLE....
  32. G MACK from Toronto, Canada writes: PRICE moves smoother then any goalie I've seen in years! He looks liquid out there.

    Awesome!

    Go Habs!
  33. Emmanuel Chan from Toronto, Canada writes: 40 minutes gone, 20 minutes to go. These are the most dangerous 20 minutes of the game...can't let up now...need to push hard till the end. Go Habs!!!
  34. Ricky for a Centrist Canada from Canada writes:
    NAH NAH NAH NAH
    NAH NAH NAH NAH
    HEY HEY HEY
    GOOD-BYE
  35. Emmanuel Chan from Toronto, Canada writes: OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE!!! GO HABS!!!!

    Best game that the Habs played all series! Now, I wonder how many of those people who were so quick to jump off the bandwagon will jump back on after tonight.....
