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.

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!

Why Are 'Fans' Dictating a Culture of Losing?

If you don't want this, you suck. The NHL has been floating the idea of a 24 team playoff format. Under the proposed format, there would be some sort of play-in tournament for what would serve as the "real playoffs."   When I heard this as a life long Habs fan I was ecstatic, finally for the first time in 3 years we are going to get some semblance of playoff hockey in Montreal.  This is the best news to come out of sports in months! And then I took to Twitter and came across a bunch of alleged Habs fans who have grown up without ever seeing a Stanley Cup parade posting wild takes.  Tweets on tweets about not wanting to make the playoffs because we somehow don't deserve it. Are you kidding me? We didn't make up Corna rules, Corna rules are THE RULES! As if whoever wins the Stanley Cup will need an asterisk.  Every organization is on an even playing field with this thing.  If some players don't want to isolate and follow the rules and organizations have to us...
