Habs to be sequestered in area hotel .... http://canadiens.nhl.com/team/app/?service...rticleid=359877

.... so that they can spend their time online scoping all the great commentary available on Canadiens.com Fan Forum !!

Actually, it is probably not a bad idea (the hotel, not the Fan Forum reading) -- Montreal and area is going to be such a zoo during these play-offs (rabid fans, that we are!). A little tough on the families though; this could go on for two months, as we know (and hopefully, it will!).

Dallas would have been nothing like this during their play-offs.

Last year, I don't think the Senators bothered until the Finals. Then they holed up at the Crookstreet.

Gotta laugh re: Stewie. One week his fast-sinking 'Dogs are bowing straight out of play-off contention; the next he has one decent game (his first) in the NHL, and now he's practicing and hanging out full-time with Kovi, Marks, Higgy and the gang!! Likely won't even play! Young single guy, just soaking it all in! He'll keep ready though.

[Guest Goodtown]

NOTHING LESS THEN 60 FROM HERE ON OUT BOYS!

GO HABS GO

GO HABS GO

Bob Cole and Millen are the team

[Guest GoHabsGo_CanucksAreChoking]

Carey Price: 0 games of post-season experience. ......Tim Thomas: 0 games of post-season experience, too.

Carey Price 0 games of NHL post season experienceand I think we've all seen what Carey can do in the playoffs

We need Komisarek back.His kind of toughness and strength will be needed.I'm really nervous about this game....but in a good way.I hope Tim thomas is having a sleepless night of his own!My oldest son is going to the game tomorrow.I am SO ENVIOUS!He has richer, cooler friends than I do.

Komi is coming back for the playoffs.

I believe Carbo said the 'sequestration' would ony be for the nights before game days, not a continuous imprisonment. Either way, I also think it's a good thing.

On another note, it is now certain that the Habs will win game 3 Sunday, Tim Thomas' picture is on the tickets

[Guest habsrule4eva3089]

God the way these boston supporters are talking it would seem like they're the ones that finished first and beat us 8 times in a row... wow it's funny when you ask them to put money on it then they back away.... sheesh everyone in this world knows this series is over by the middle of next week. The way pittsburgh is dominating ottawa is the same type of play we'll see in our series... GO HABS GO ... LA COUPE!

[Guest Onzeee]

I want to hear the CBC announcers finally say: "now this is hockey town"I've heard them say enough that Toronto is hockey crazy but i've been to games in toronto and montreal, and montreal is twice or three times as loud as toronto, its not even close!I want them to finally admit that montreal fans are the best, craziest, and most passionate!I can't wait to hear how the building roars!you from peterborough....how about those bulls! People from Peterborough never choose the right teams Ha ha...pleasure having you on these boards!

Jim Hughson and Harry Neale pretty much admitted it during our 2006 series with Carolina, that this city is the best in hockey...

Stewart showed what he was made of saturdaynight, unlikely he will see action yes but his pitbull style doesnt rule it out

Boston aint gonna be a push over,

[Guest 77Bourque77]

Boston aint gonna be a push over,

very true, i hope we dont take then lightly. we need to get on the board fast, and keep it going, dont stop and it back, keep pushing for more.

[Guest TOP_SHELF]

I am a little worried about this series cause i have a feeling Boston is gonna hit us where it hurts the most (in the playoffs) . Oh well prove me wrong boys!!! Slay Boston in four games GO HABS GO!!!

You know the B's will be ready tommorow night, and i think it will take us a few shifts to settle in honestly so that will be a dangerous time, trying to limit their belief

[Guest HabsFanStuckInToronto!]

The best thing for all Montreal fans is for Montreal to win this first game. It will be hard on the Bruins if they lose.

So boys, do not change anything. Just pretend it is a regular season game!

GO HABS GO! GO PRICE GO! WIN WIN WIN!

[Guest JoeC]

Any word on who's starting, Price or Halak?

its gonna be VERY hard if at all to see Halak get a start at all unless Carey compeltly crumbles, Gainey's man is Price, and so is Carbs (partially forced

[Guest CanadianMike]

It all starts tonight kids.

read Plekanec's thread to find out who will score the game winner tonight.

How will we ever get through this work day? HABS are the only thing on my mind.

Oh I am wearing my KOSTITSYN 74 46 shirt to work today...and my Habs cap.

[Guest recchi_8]

the kids have to step up imediately...all this talk about playoff inexperience is killing me...hopefully kovalev has the kids believing..we need all lines playing well in order to capatalize on our scoring chances...any word on Komi?? Come on boys, make us proud!

[Guest jennifer_rocket]

Oh man, I have 7 hours and 45 minutes of work to go through, and then a 30 minute commute home. Darn, darn, darn. I wish the game was starting NOW!

[Guest Greek Hab]

OMG, is it finally game day?!!?

5 days without hockey...someone needs to be shot.
