Still On Top

Just because you don't use it anymore, New York, doesn't mean we can't.

Two days in a row on top of the Eastern Conference.  My, the view is mighty spectacular from way up here. We can almost make out that blue and orange team way down there outside of the playoff race, oh yeah, it's our opponent tonight.

After playing back to back games, having a day off without hockey seems like an eternity!  I mean what else were we to do last night.  If you happened to catch the Philly & Pittsburgh game then you got a real treat!  If you didn't well then you suck because you missed out on some entertaining hockey.

It always amazes me how entertaining other hockey games are compared to the Habs.  Lundqvist got it right when he said the Habs play a boring style of hockey because the last two games against the Rangers and Hurricanes have been snooze fests.

I guess the Habs are also carrying a five game winning streak into tonights game at home.  That's a big deal!  Not sure if there has been any word on who is starting in net tonight but I wouldn't be surprised if Budaj got the nod.

It amazes me that on such a horrible hockey team John Tavares has managed to get himself 20 pts already this season.  I'm basically stating random facts because nobody cares about the New York Islanders.  Not even people in New York.

Most people would find it hard to get up for a game against the Islanders, and it's true, normally I would fall into that category myself but tonight is different.  If the Habs extend their winning streak to six games then we are slowly entering Chicago Blackhawks territory for out right goodness.  Then again if the first place team loses to the New York Islanders we will be the laughing stock of the league.  No pressure tonight...

Enjoy this horrible sports broadcasting from PJ Stock:

Gametime is 7:30 PM on TSN-Habs.

Same offer as last game, Habs score 5 goals and you get ice cream ladies.

Go Habs Go!

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!
