Big Bad Bruins

Things sure are firing up the blogosphere this afternoon with the highly anticipated match of Boston vs. Montreal tonight in the Bell Centre.

EOTP is sharing a comment section tonight with Bruins fans during the game.  Never before have fans had the opportunity to hate on each other online during a game.  Oh...it's called Twitter?  Thank you.

I mean, do people actually sit on message boards during hockey games and talk to other people?  Whatever happened to watching the game on tv or at a bar.  I myself am a hootsuite hockey fan where I follow 3 feeds during habs games.  1. The folks I follow. 2. Hockey Journalists 3. #habs.  It works out quite well and gives a good perspective on the game.  The twitpics from lady fans can be quite worth your time guys.

Before Twitter took off I was basically the only Habs fan on there so I used the Montreal Fan Forum game day thread to follow along with the game. The people on there knew way more about hockey than I did, and it took me months to contribute anything useful to the conversation.  Around that same time I started this blog, which has changed names about four times since it's inception in 2007.  "FakeHabsBlog", "thedrivefor25isalive", "AngryHabsFan", and now "AngryHockeyFans".   I have a hard time sticking to one thing, it's no wonder I'm not a Dallas Stars fan by now.

Probably the biggest head line tonight is how many fights will there be?  Prust will fight, Moen will probably fight, but will there be more?  Will there be an unexpected dropping of the gloves from a finesse player to set the tone.  Only time will tell if something this awesome transpires.

Price will need to be stellar tonight for the Habs to be able to smash up the Bruins.  This is basically the first real test for Montreal.  New Jersey, Buffalo, and Ottawa were a bit of a scale to measure this team by, but tonight will finish off this teams potential.  Beat the Bruins, move to number one in the division.

And remember Montreal, if you don't win tonight....

We are fucked

As my friend AngryHabsFan eluded to already, yesterday was the end of the world as we know it for Sens fans. Matt Cooke's skate caught Karlsson in the Achilles tendon last night on a scuffle in the corner. First off don't even think that this was Matt Cooke being a dirty player and that he did this on purpose. It was just one of those freak plays that happen. No timeline has been given yet for Karlsson's return but I think its safe to say that he won't be back this season. Hopefully he can return from this injury and still be a great player. We already have Michalek playing on robotic knees so hopefully EK can get a hold of Milo's doctor. Speaking of Michalek he also disappeared before the game last night with a mysterious undisclosed injury. No word on what exactly is the extent of his injury yet. So without Spezza, Michalek, Karlsson and Jared Cowen I think its safe to say we are fucked and need to focus on shipping out Gonchar at the deadline and going

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!
