OK, maybe not the Penguins, but still, the Canadiens have a better, noisier crowd than the Penguins'. And, of course, very supportive; no opposing team playing the Canadiens could hope to have their supporters purchase a significant amount of tickets in the Bell Center for the Canadiens' home games, much less in the playoffs.

Amen. I mean, even montrealers can't put their hands on ticket, so... The Centre Bell is always sell out. And the crowd is insane.

Oh, and fudge the Pens, let's go Habs! 😎

I liked what I saw last night. Pens proved yet again that they can morph into any type of team when the situation arises. That was a characteristic that was totally absent in the 2008 playoff season, especially in the Finals. They played some solid defense, and I'm only half talking about MAF. It's only a matter of time before the Habs try to open the game up a little - and when they do, I don't think the outcome is going to be pretty...for them.

aparently someone didnt watch the Habs get their asses handed to them on home turf last night haermm

I saw it. It's pretty clear that the Pens will win this series. The Habs was the worst team of the 16 in the playoff. But still, let's go Habs!

What kind of team could sell their arena out even if their team was to be handed their asses out in it?

Whoever wins, would need at least two more games to do so.

I lol'd

However, the Pens won. 😉

Marc Savard is sooo mad that Richards is sooo much better than he is. Domination by the Flyers, still alive! Long way to go though.

Good sh*t Montreal one more game to steal.(if they hold on to this one. Come on Halak!)

HELL YEAH! There will be a 7th game! GO HABS GO!

Bylsma needs to recognize that retreating defenders does not work against the Canadiens. I've never seen so many great scoring chances (and scores) from 2-on-2 and even 2-on-3 rushes. Instead of standing them up at the blue line and making them dump and chase, they're allowing the attackers to use themselves as a screen and simply hand-off to a nearby teammate, who subsequentially as a result of the backpedaling defense, is wide open for a shot. Didn't Bylsma see the benefits of forcing them to dump and chase last Saturday night???? Montreal was getting killed on the boards.

I'd like to look at Habs' goal #3 for a second. It was set up brilliantly. They had enough confidence in Halak that they permitted the usual 3-on-2 chaos in the defensive zone. Like clockwork, a Pen fanned on a shot and the Habs took possession. Where were the other 3 Habs players? Waiting at the point, of course, for the odd-man attack against the retreating defenders. Advance, handoff, screen, shot, score.

Seriously, guys. It was an awesome game. I wish Habs eliminate them, and went on against Bruins. It would be an epic series.

After the number of teams slated for relocation, be it Phoenix, Nashville, Tampa Bay or even Los Angeles, I'm beginning to ask, what kind of hockey guy could replace Bettman at the helm of the NHL? Because Bettman had little hockey background before taking the command of the league, if any.

Me too. But then, it would then mean a hefty insurance bill for the merchants in the vicinity of the Bell center, even more so in the event of a Canadiens victory in the third round. Because riots would break out from the moment the Canadiens win their 4th game against the Bruins (or lose 4 games to them)

However, after defeating two teams so radically different from the Canadiens, playing either the Bruins or the Flyers would be closer from how they themselves play the game.

You don't need to be a hockey guy to run a league.

😆 😆 😆 😆 BYE BYE PENGUINS!!!

Now, LET'S GO FLYERS!!!

GO HABS GO still Canada's hockey team

now I hope Flyers can beat bruins tonight, and go on to eliminate them, I just hate the bruins.

I'd like to see Bruins play the Habs, now. They have a good rivalry and would probably be a good series. That and I greatly dislike the Flyers and most of their players.

GO HABS GO! **** YEAH! **** YEAH! Cammalleri and Halak are inhumans!
