Hopefully you didn't just jinx it.
if I did.
i think you're safe
edit: now 4-2. in my defense, everyone below thought it was over as well
GOAL! HABS GOAL!
Cammalleri has been on fire. 3-0 Habs.
HAIL, Cammalleri!
CAMMALERI ON FIRE!
Yeah Michigan Man!!!
The Penguins are such a classless team. This is so great to watch! Go Habs!
4-0, Moen with the goal!
AWESOME.
Shorthander! Fleury = OVER RATED
Hell yeah. SH goal.
Shorty. Nice. See ya Pens
EDIT: and see ya Fleury
C-YA, Fleury!
Holy hell that was ridiculous
The worst thing to happen would be to see Chicago-Pittsburgh in the finals. I would only watch it in order to hope for a meteor to strike the rink.
id be rooting for the acl tears.
Classy.
IS OVER!
better have the habs scoring the next goal
Who would have thought we could have three original six teams in the final four and the Wings wouldn't be one of them. That would have been awesome to have Detroit / Chicago and Boston / Montreal.
Need to get out of this period.
The Habs better not give up a goal on the PP to start the 3rd.
someone needs to step up now please.
Fleury has been so frustrating this entire playoff season.
WOO! Even strength, still 4-2!
Damn this is nerve-racking!
HA! Penalty killed, then Pens have too many men!
And they were actually called for it!
Can't believe you weren't plussed like crazy for this one.
THEY SCOOOOOORRRRRRE!!!!!
UN BUT !
Cinq à deux pour les Habitants !
What a pass by MC. It was like an alley-oop.
I wonder how many times Crosby's gonna cross-check Cammallieri after they lose
This'll make the playoffs a little easier to watch now. With Pittsburgh out, it's anyone's cup now.
I think I'm gonna root for San Jose from here on out, but I wouldn't mind seeing an Original Six matchup between Boston and Chicago - with Boston winning of course.
Personally, if the Wings can't win it all, I root for a Canadian team to do so. Hey, it's their national sport. I'm pulling for the Habs the rest of the way.
INCROYABLE!!!!!
Allez les Habitants! Battre les Bruins / Flyers!
Gotta feel good for Montreal. It's the largest city in North America to have only one major-league team, so this is their only shot at the big time (unless you count the CFL). And as Michigan fans know, going through a down spell hurts especially badly when you're used to being on top. Hopefully we can follow suit on the gridiron.
...Les Habitants. This series loss puts the "Crosby has proven himself superior to Ovechkin" meme in serious question.
No it doesn't.
Crosby and Ovechkin had the same number of points this year- but Ovechkin played 8 fewer games than Crosby. The numbers back it, and any logical person would have to believe that Ovechkin is at LEAST a little better than Crosby.
Just let it go, man. You guys that love to hate on Crosby will eat up the fact that Crosby was a no show in this series, but any logical person who has really watched many games (both NHL, international, and junior) knows that this is the first time in his career that Crosby has had a no show when it matters. Ovechkin, despite his numbers, cannot say the same thing.
Did you watch last year's Stanley Cup final at all? Sure the Pens won the series but I highly doubt Crosby's 3 points (1 G 2 A) were entirely helpful.
I did, and as you know as well as I do that, "showing up" has a hell of a lot more to do with goals and assists. If you objectively look at what the two of them have done individually in the most important games in their careers it's not even a close comparision. But yeah, go ahead, keep on going with the biased hate. As I've said before, most Penguins fans do the same thing to certain Red Wings players as well and cheered just as much when the Red Wings lost this year as you all right now. Frankly, I think everyone who does that, for both teams, come across as immature and pathetic.
I dunno, the 2008 and 2009 Stanley Cup Finals are probably times when it mattered. Lidstrom and Zetterberg kind of disappeared him in both series.
Malkin kicked the Wings asses all over the ice last year though. Crosby's not even the best player on his team much less the damn world.
"Crosby's not even the best player on his team"
Thanks for posting this. I needed a laugh. At least I know whose posts not to read for objective and knowledgeable hockey discussion.
