HappyHabsFan, Happy Easter

Easter hunt on the ice. Find Crosby teeth.
I knew they would they do it.  I didn't know Carey would rebound from Wednesday night and shutout the Rangers.  I'm overly impressed.  Who else are we overly impressed with this morning in Montreal land?  PK SUBBAN!  Helpers on every goal last night, the guy was solid.  Without a doubt he is the BEST offensive defenseman in the NHL this year (take that Ottawa).  Oh, and that guy wearing number 11 seems to be having an amazing rookie year.  Calder Trophy anyone?

Over at HockeyInsideOut the mood is similar this morning.  The ghost of Scott Gomez have appeared to vanish, and the Canadiens are finally extracting some revenge on the team that dumped that loser into our line up.

Next up is the Hurricanes on Monday night at 7:30.  It's almost a guaranteed win for Montreal.  After Monday your team is off to Philly to take on the Flyers on Wednesday night hockey.  I'd say it should be an easy win looking at the standings but expect a close one.  Thursday is a quick turnaround and the Canadiens are back at the Bell to take on the Jets.  Again, should be an easy W for the home boys.  Saturday night things really heat up on Hockey Night In Canada as the Bruins come to Montreal.  If you're expecting a violet game you probably won't see one.  However, it will be a good test for Montreal and to see how Boston rebounds from last Wednesday night.

Last week I called for 3 of 6 and got 4 of 6 points.  HappyHabsFan has returned once again.  This week I'm calling for 5 out of 8 points.  It may seem small but here's my explanation.  We will beat Carolina on Monday night for two points.  Then with the quick turn around on Wednesday/Thursday I'm expecting at least one victory there.  Saturday night at home who knows what will happen, but hopefully we can grab a point or two from the Bruins again.

It's going to be an amazing week full of hockey.  Tuesday and Friday are your date nights this week, the rest of the week is booked up solid.

I know everyone's brackets are basically over but March Madness continues today at 2.30 on CBS. Also, Sunday Night Baseball kicks off tonight with the Rangers taking on the Astros, and it wouldn't be Easter dinner without some golf playing in the background as the Shell Houston Open is on.

Yes people, this is definitely the best time of year for sports.

Happy Easter.

10 Years Ago Today

Where did a decade go? I remember this game, and basically being on my knees throughout most of it.  When Laich scores the late goal in the 3rd I almost hurled, and then on top of that we take a penalty! The ride Halak gave us in 2010 will never be matched!  41 saves in a Game 7! No idea how Sportsnet isn't airing this one tonight!?  I'm surprised they aren't airing random 2016 Blue Jays baseball games instead. I don't need 80s and 90s game all week.  Mix in some modern classics like this!

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
