Guest Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 GAME #1 OUR MAN VS Let the second season begin The boys will be looking to avenge the last time we met in the playoffs. The Sens are hot, our PP sucks and Max is a likely scratch,, but we have our secret weapon,, PRICE Lots of questions still to answer. What special playoff pregame do the Habs have planned? Who will Mr. Bettman assign to try and stop us? Will the Sens put a bounty on Price's head? Will Eller emerge as a playoff beast? Stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfoundlandHab Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 As I posted in the injury thread, Patches cleared for contact but not cleared to play. MT says he likely wont play tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenhhead Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 No Patches = not enough offensive threat. I don't like our chances, honestly, unless a few of our guys really step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabsAlways Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 We'll be fine ... for the first time in 20+ years I see a team that can potentially go all the way. Ottawa will be the true test, and once we're past them I see us simply getting more dominant every round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegasrick Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 What special playoff pregame do the Habs have planned? I get the feeling it will look very much like last year's projection on the ice.....which was really cool, actually. Who will Mr. Bettman assign to try and stop us? Out of a virtual smorgasbord of goons available on the Sens' roster, it will just be the "goon du jour." Will the Sens put a bounty on Price's head? That probably happened several days ago, when Ottawa first learned they were playing the Habs in Round One. They're evil. Will Eller emerge as a playoff beast? Yes, as long as he stays healthy.

PuckPundit Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Actually, my biggest concern is stupid penalties, which could be the Habs' undoing . We know the Sens are going to hit hard to wear the boys down. It's physical rough play all the way. Hence, it's easy to goad our players to retaliate and lose emotional control over their play. Sadly, I can almost feel our players falling for it. And the referees are going to have a field day. Nothing hurts more than being down 3 on 5, especially in OT. Or cancel out any PP advantage, not that our PP is on fire anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caperns Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hey, all I keep hearing is we cannot score goals, we are the worst of the 16 teams and we are However we allow the fewest goals of any team in the playoffs We also have the 5th best goals for/goals against ratio. Everybody is right we don't score a lot of goals but when your goaltender has a save% under 2 you don't need to score a lot of goals:) I say we beat Ottawa in 5, after we win the first 3 they go to Anderson n game 4 and we lose, we go back to Montreal and flood gates open on Anderson and Hamburgler game 5...

Guest Regis2 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 FWIW, One of local TV stations noted that Hammonds' #'s have been just as good as Price's since he came up this year. Not saying he's better than Price , but his stats are up there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyez Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Goals go down in the play-offs , so I'm not worried about a lacking offensive ( I see the games ending 2-1 (or so) for most of the series actually). Hammond might be good , but so is Price , so that part "might" cancel itself out Offence ... Ottawa is obviously better at scoring goals Defence ... Montreal is better than Ottawa so "maybe" a tie in net (but I see Price ahead there) & offence /defence split = game REALLY CLOSE (with slight edge to the Habs) ( saw on TSN a little story bit , about how Montreal has the most expensive blue line in the NHL.... the "ONLY" team to spend over $30mill... combine that with Price #1 & we "should" be good to go .

I thought it was all we needed. It's Price vs. Beyond that, it's: MONTREAL OTTAWA Galchenyuk Goon Plekanec Goon Gallagher Goon Desharnais Goon Parenteau Goon Bournival Goon Eller Goon Mitchell Goon Weise Goon Subban Goon Markov Goon Petry Goon Emelin Goon ......etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HabsAlways Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 We were top 5 for 5on5 goals for/against ratio .... Ottawa 10th. The only 4 teams better than us are NY Rangers (1st), Tampa Bay, Nashville and Chicago. Chicago was 1.19 we were 1.18 ... so essentially tied for 4th. We stay out the box, get some power plays ... we win the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
