It pretty much showed Jaro isn't a number 1 goalie. Holy rebounds... I mean, Price was sitting for 2 weeks, came in and played on his head in Chicago snagging the 2nd star in a loss. Defense was about as lost as Jaro.... It's unfortunate but these lulls happens. Sucks it had to happen this week...

The only bright side: Sergei did an absolutely lovely feed to set up Gomez for a great goal. (Think Czech Sausage, Belarus style). That's right coach, put an NHL player with an NHL player and you get results! (Not gonna get anything with a Gomez/White/Pyatt line idiot). Also Gorges scored XD! Oh and Mara beat up Kaleta for trying to take a run at Plekanec (lucky Plekanec dodged him, because he was two-steps away from another suspension and I would have broken my TV is Plekanec suffered a concussion from that fucktard). The PK was the best offensive effort they had other than those two goals. Maybe the Habs should volunteer to play shorthanded?

I'm still hoping tonight will be good. I'm pretty excited for tonight, really. I can only hope the players are too. Price seems excited at least.

MARKOV SKATED AGAIN! WITH THE TEAM! Now we just need Gionta... T_T

status of gionta?

and i think we need markov more than ever. defence is in shambles and i think just having markov back in the line up will make a huge moral difference

did you happen to get tickets?


CHOM was auctioning off tickets this morning, a couple rows behind the bench. price hit 2800$

Sure! I have $2800 right here in my back pocket! >.>

Yea right...

There's a big buzz downtown around the Bell Center.

See Price's mask for tonight? Artist put the C logo from that blue first jersey on his chin, makes him look like Luongo. Captain Carey! ;D

Carousel? Saku finally comes back from injury and now Teemu is out with an injury...

wha the hell was that?
where the fuck has this team been all season.

They'll have a bad game every now and then and come on like gangbusters every now and then. It's the mark of a .500 team. Missing Markov does make that much of a difference because they're missing that patented backdoor sneak in play that he makes his offensive living off.

But that's what I like about this year's team. They have a great character to erase a bad game as quickly as possible, whether it's the next game or two games after doesn't matter.

Though it's a good plan eh? Lull the competition into thinking they'll be in for an easy game and then just destroy them. The Bruins all looked shellshocked by the end of the second :D Cheating bastards that they are...

cheating bastards?
how so?

and in my opinion philly is a dirty team more than any other i've seen. and it's always been like that, all the way back to hextall

Cheating bastards because Patrice Bergeron is the biggest diver this side of Derek Roy. Because you accidentally touch them with a stick while turning around and they act like they're shot to draw a penalty. Because Krejci cheats on his faceoffs and did during that PK faceoff, tangled up and held Pleks' stick which when Pleks wiggled free to get into position happened to hit him with the stick and he acted like his head was taken off (when Krejci should have gotten either an interference or holding penalty instead of Pleks getting a penalty). They slashed Price and Spacek cleared the crease while Lapierre faced down and shoved a guy away who refused to answer drawing a double-roughing penalty (still didn't score haha). Cheating chicken bastards.

Philly is a dirty team, not a cheating team. Just dirty. (Though Richards is a big diver). It goes further than Hextall. Bobby Clarke, an embarrassment to Team Canada....

divers eh? bigger than kovalev?

There's a different between drawing a penalty and pulling a drama class though. Kovy stopped diving since he grew up. Plus he keeps going even when someone smacks him in the face with a stick. Usually he returns the favor with a casual elbow (Revenge Elbow!) but stopped that 'cause he doesn't want to be suspended. Now he just scores in revenge.

too bad he didn't want to get revenge more often when he played with us

Eh? You don't remember all those times he scored with blood on his face or after another broken nose or right after his helmet was knocked off? I think the Sens are the ones missing that ;D

oh, it happened. but not as often as it should of.
