Little People Have Done Us Well - Pens/Habs Game 7 Preview and Open Thread

Well we don't expect this to be the most productive day in our lives.

We don't even know how to set this up. Game 7 is its own set up.

Whatever happens, we'll write about our deep appreciation for what these Habs have given us over the last month.

Amazingly, Montreal plays its 14th playoff game in 28 days. It's been relentless.

Today, soak it all up folks. Enjoy it, see past your nerves. Whistle while you work....

Not you, refs.


Let's do this.

Where: Pittsburgh, Mellon Arena.

No, I mean, where on TV?: CBC, RDS, some pirated feed off the internet, at the Bell Centre on the Big screen. Probably at Future Shop, on every screen.

Time: 7 p.m., Mellon time.

Best John Cougar Melloncamp song: Jack and Diane or Hurts so Good, take your pick.

Who's a good hockey player: It's Game 7 people, both teams are a win away from the Final 4. I would say everybody's doing something right.

Not you: Sergei Kostitsyn

Sleepy Dwarf....shall remain nameless for fear of undoing jinxage.

Adult entertainment: Recharging your pacemakers. It's game fucking 7.

Please, please boys, win.

Getting a bit too fancy. But that's ok.

kevincrumbs said...

OMFG

moeman said...

Thx for the (...) 29, I was trying to breathe through my screams!

GoldenGirl11 said...

I'm dreaming.

Number31 said...

Ice cream! Good idea.

Orangeman said...

It's certainly not over, and with their firepower I would never count the Pens out. However, my cardiologist thanks the Habs.

WV: supper. I could eat this game for supper every night!

Young HF29 said...

i was about to write "plenty of time", and FUCK

Young HF29 said...

NICE FOOT PASS REF

moeman said...

Nice assist ref.

Orangeman said...

it's ok it's ok it's ok.

At least Bob Cole sounds like he woke up.

Number31 said...

Pittsburgh PA forgot "Assisted by ref's skate"

Chamby said...

Ugh, what a perfect bounce off the stupid ref.

moeman said...

Can ya taste gary galley's Habs hate?

iRiRi said...

I want wings, dammit!

Orangeman said...

I'll take that missed 5th goal now.

Young HF29 said...

jeez did you see that blocked shots stat? i knew we were good, but yikes

moeman said...

No need to wonder why Gainey got us MOEmaN.

WV = zorCH!

Orangeman said...

29: You mean 306 blocked shots vs 2nd place Chicago with 190? Fuck yeah.

Young HF29 said...

im getting nervous

iRiRi said...

Kill this por favor!

Lynda said...

Philly up 1-0

iRiRi said...

Motherfucker.

Young HF29 said...

FUCK

Number31 said...

STOP THIS HABS

Orangeman said...

Another one of our D without a stick on that one.

iRiRi said...

This isn't happening, right?!

Orangeman said...

Just get out of this period, for chrissakes.

Young HF29 said...

now we're the scared team. ugh

moeman said...

bob cold's and galley's cheering on the Pens is sickening.

Orangeman said...

Jesus, I think I can actually hear Cole creaming his pants.

Number31 said...

Hamr and Bergeron are pissing in their pants right now. GET THEM OFF THE ICE COACH! BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN THEY'RE THERE!

Young HF29 said...

you know coach Rhino could have been useful right about now

Young HF29 said...

YOU TELL 'EM SQUID

iRiRi said...

Fuck you, Cooke.

WTF?! No penalty on that?

Orangeman said...

I love how everytime there's offsetting minors our best player is off and a no-name is taken for them.

Number31 said...

Dear Travis Moen. Be a dear and check Cooke into next year.

Orangeman said...

Well the refs have received their phone call from head office.

iRiRi said...

I'm going to lose it.

Number31 said...

Didn't that act of Dupuis remind anyone of the dive Lapierre did?

Young HF29 said...

tin foil hat time everyone!

moeman said...

dupuis dove better than Laps ever did.

swarkles said...

Well so far the Pens got a goal thanks to the ref's foot and a lucky bounce. I'm curious as to what the fuck the refs were thinking on that Gorges penalty. VS showed their first and only replay of the game and all I see is Dupuis flailing on the ground

Orangeman said...

Ok, they're up by 2, just like after the 1st. I think they can hold off the Pens, not so sure about the other guys in black and white down there.

When there were 2 early calls against the Pens I had visions of women's gold medal game 2002. Give a couple to the bad guys early then work your 'magic' later.


But it's ok. I BELIEVE!

Bill 101 said...

my goodness

who predicted THIS?

moeman said...

We are UP! 4 to fucking 2! Keep it going you fucking Habs that WE love!!!

iRiRi said...

This is the worst time for Hamr to start having a meltdown...

GYFH!!!

moeman said...

Here's the deal kidz. The Pens got a lucky goal and a shitty goal. MOEmaN says the 3rd'll be a new period. Batten down the hatCHes bitCHes!!!

Number31 said...

GYFH!!!!!!!!! ♥

Bill 101 said...

the gravy & the koolaid are a potent mix

boob gainey said...

Please tell me this isn't happening.

Unknown said...

GYFH!!!

moeman said...

Not sure what cbc/hnic gets out of cheering for the Pens.

iRiRi said...

*straps seatbelt*

Go Habs Go!!!

Young HF29 said...

moe - stack of hundreds from the NHL?

i cant breathe again. these 20 minutes are going to be the death of me

GYFHG

Orangeman said...

Ok, my stomach is in knots. I believe, I totally believe. But this is going to be a long 20 minutes.

GYFH!

iRiRi said...

PFK killing the 4-on-3

Young HF29 said...

whew

NO MORE PENALTIES PLEASE

iRiRi said...

Ouf... I guess.

moeman said...

... less than 17 to go ...

boob gainey said...

I don't think I can watch this.

Young HF29 said...

pens trying to act their way to a goal call

Orangeman said...

How can we get an interference penalty for a graze-by and they're allowed to poke and spear Halak all day?

Young HF29 said...

oh great theyre on the phone to get more instructions

moeman said...

... less than 15 to go ...

iRiRi said...

What is MAB doing on the ice in the 3rd?!

Young HF29 said...

thank you Jaro

moeman said...

Sure.

iRiRi said...

I can't take this for another 15 minutes.

Orangeman said...

Here is their instructions.

Young HF29 said...

i think the Pens are yanking sticks out of our D's hands. am i crazy?

Unknown said...

Bull-Fucking-Shit

Orangeman said...

Actually, I have to see the replay before I say that. But can our D stop losing their sticks? Please?

Anonymous said...

mr trivia says:

yeah 29... WTF is that laraque commercial?????

...

i was kust saying how well gill was playing without his stick... FUCK.

iRiRi said...

Who is going to kill this penalty? MAB?

Number31 said...

TINFOIL TUQUE!

So Gio's on a breakaway. Has Goligoski's stick up his armpit the whole way.
AND NO ONE CALLS IT!

GYFH!!!!

Young HF29 said...

"a little bit of embellishment from Crosby" even GALLEY admits it

Jaro!

Orangeman said...

yup, that was BS.

HALAK!

iRiRi said...

Jaro!!!

Young HF29 said...

nice counting to 6 Pens

CASH IT

moeman said...

Go Habs. Feel the love. Be nice for the cbc/hnic to show the Bell Centre crowd. No?

Orangeman said...

Please cash in here. At least put the pressure on and tire then out.

iRiRi said...

I can't tell if the time wasted to fix the glass is going to favor the Habs or not.

moeman said...

RiRi, stay positive. Boys can take the breather. 29, you OK?

copyranter said...

Hey, I was at a Hell's Kitchen cocktail party for the first two periods...what did I miss?

Young HF29 said...

moe i am NOT ok, but thx for asking

Young HF29 said...

GIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

moeman said...

Gio!!!!!!!!!!!!

Number31 said...

FREE WINGS!

Orangeman said...

YES!!!! I can breath again!!!!

moeman said...

29, marry me!!!!!!!

iRiRi said...

Gio!!!

moeman said...

galley is feeling sick. Die you fucker.

hfotwc said...

shitting my pants. fuck

Orangeman said...

The CBC just, presumably (NOT TAKING ANYTHING FOR GRANTED!!) extended huge advertising revenue for at least another 4 games and they sound like a family pet just died.

That's ok though. Everything is ok. And it's not over, I know that. I'm just freaking out over here!!!

Young HF29 said...

rewatched the goal. PFK almost killed Gio on the celebration, god love him

Lynda said...

Habs got a cheer on that goa from the Philly fans.

Young HF29 said...

dump out, dump in. change the lines. dump out, dump in, change the lines.
dump out, dump in, change the lines.

moeman said...

cbc/hnic doesn't deserve to cover the Habs.

Orangeman said...

You know, this is a huge point in hockey history, regardless of it being the Habs. Yet I feel like I'm watching a funeral. The CBC is a disgrace. They are sucking the life out of this moment.

moeman said...

Buddy coined a new word;

Subboing!

Number31 said...

JARO!

iRiRi said...

Oh the irony.

moeman said...

heh, Gill laughing at the refs. Man, that better be on youtube.

Young HF29 said...

deep breath deep breath

moeman said...

I no longer have pants. I'm about to dance.

WV = ouffe

iRiRi said...

Good. I needed a breather.

Orangeman said...

What a day to be a Habs fan. This is why you stick with it through the dark years/decades. So today feels this good. And man, this feels good.

Lynda said...

Philly up 2-0

iRiRi said...

2-0 Flyers

moeman said...

Merci Bob Gainey.

Young HF29 said...

STFU Guerin

iRiRi said...

Halak ne veut rien savoir!!!

Young HF29 said...

ANOTHER KILL

moeman said...

STFU bob cold.

Young HF29 said...

LESS THAN 2 MINUTES

iRiRi said...

Oh Subban!!!

Number31 said...

PK totally tried to hit that empty net.

moeman said...

heh, galley rips Subboing and cold says its not done yet. Die you fuckers.

Young HF29 said...

LESS THAN ONE MINUTE

kevincrumbs said...

Almost there...

Orangeman said...

/checking expedia for flights to Montreal this afternoon.

Young HF29 said...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

iRiRi said...

History has been made again!

Number31 said...

Leaving the Igloo already? Geez... this is the last game, stay 'til the end!

Even if it wasn't the end, stay with your team 'til the bitter end!

Orangeman said...

WE MIGHT BE SMURFS BUT WE'VE KILLED GIANTS!!!

I love you, you fucking Habs!!!

kevincrumbs said...

Would love to see the media wake the fuck up and give this team some credit instead of going with the whole Jaro-and-seven-retards storyline. Go Habs Go!

iRiRi said...

Subban and Mex hugging it out! So are Jaro and Squid!

*tears of joy*

I love you all!

moeman said...

Did bob cold just say 'this old baby will be put to rest'?

Orangeman said...

Now please give them a few days off. I think they've earned it.

Now to check how many sick days I have left.

Number31 said...

Full circle.

iRiRi said...

Chocula is tickled pink!

E said...

Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Sorry for the lack of eloquence.

iRiRi said...

I'm still in awe

Young HF29 said...

moeman said...

iRiRi said...

This calls for a visit to the PB!

kevincrumbs said...

Thank you, Bob and I never thought I would say this but thank you JM (and Muller and Pearn and Youppi and Graham Rynbend and Pants and HF29 and LG and GG and Orangeman and moeman and moey and Gillis and whomever invented ice cream/meth and everybody else)!

Let's win this fucking thing!

Unknown said...

Holy Habs, Bettman!

Wow. These guys are the real deal. I'm starting to fantasize about Cups and such. And not just the Cs or the DDs.

Three games without commenting in-game, three wins. Sorry guys. ;)

Also, did Pensblog crash?

wv: rednes, what's covering the Penguin's faces right now.

moeman said...

- Happy Birthday Jaro and P.K.

Orangeman said...

Wow Crosby is such a sore loser. Passive-aggressive shit-talking the Habs. Now complaining about his penalty. He has completely destroyed his rep this series.

iRiRi said...

Round 3, bitCHes!!!

Thank you, Mr. Gainey.

my ♥ is bursting!

Young HF29 said...

Sid: I don't know how that's a penalty. BECAUSE YOU FUCKING SMASHED THE GUY IN THE BACK YOU DICK

swarkles said...

FUCK YESSSS

I have to say I have never experienced this as I was only 4 in '93!!

FUCKING A

I want to laugh at the Pens fans on Pensblog but I think it died.

!!!!

Habsfan10 said...

Pensblog officially blew up. Too bad, their tears would have been delicious.

Believe. GO YOU FUCKING MAGNFICENT BASTARDS GO!

Now to watch the Flyers and Bruins beat the hell out of each other for the third.

lets continue to be humble. no gloating on here. just lots of joy. the pens are a great team.

iRiRi said...

The shot of "Avenue des Canadiens" is amazing!

I'm still delirious!

Unknown said...

This is amazing. Freakin' Habbies. This is unbelievable. UN-FREAKIN'-BELIEVABLE.

I'd love to be downtown tonight...

Baroque said...

Congratulations to your team for the big series win and to all of you for surviving (everyone is still alive, right? You're only halfway there!)

Hell of a team effort. :)

matt - do not ftc said...

hmm, gotta think up a nice concoction to celebrate. fireball and alpenbitter? i think so.

Baruch said...

wooooohoooooooo!!!!!!!
alright I never thought they had it in them, they don't shy away from the punishment and they keep going. Amazing!!!!!

Habsfan10 said...

TEKSAVVEEEEE!! TEKSAVVY!!!

Oh, BGL. So useless in a Habs uniform, but so damn funny.

fezworth said...

I have been a habs fan since that night of destiny in '93. I have *never* experienced such pride in this team. Go. You. Fucking. Habs.

Number31 said...

HamsterPleky and I are partying. My neighbors are dancing on their balconies. Dude in the next door parking lot is WOOOing. Parades down the streets of Dollard-des-Ormeaux. People across the street are WOOOing. Wachovia center cheered for us. Dude that feels so weird......

Did not like Sid's post game presser... Wasn't too happy with fans leaving the Igloo early either but cheers to the ones that stayed. Very appropriate that if there was one team to shut it down it would be the Habs.

Gio ♥ The little guy is all captain. His business face is already back on.

swarkles said...

Man I wish I were back in Montreal tonight

swarkles said...

Anyone know when the schedule will be posted for the next round? I need to make sure I'm not working...

Unknown said...

@swarkles: I totally know what you mean. Just went back to the parents' place for a summer job, and I kinda regret it...

Young HF29 said...

i can hear the helicopters circling over downtown from my apartment

Martez said...

Absolute bliss. The boys played better this series then the last. This is going to keep on going, and I have a good feeling about the last stop.

Young HF29 said...

penalty shot coming for the Flyers

Unknown said...

@swarkles: Habs will likely play Sunday, since it looks like Philly is going to win tonight.

Young HF29 said...

nice save Tuuka

Orangeman said...

CJAD says probably Sunday for Game 1. Which is great because it looks like Bos-Phi are going to 7 on Friday. Kill each other, kids.

Number31 said...

THIS FRANCHISE! Cyclones won today 1-0! (Was Mayer too).

Unknown said...

I wish i lived in Montreal right now. Guess ill just have to tear up Calgary.

Orangeman said...

Wow, penalty shot in Philly. Crazy awesome save by Rask.

Habsfan10 said...

Indeed. If somebody wanted to take out Tuukka Rask (Daniel Carcillo, I'm looking in your direction!) that would be a big help.

Number31 said...

I should add NO TEAM IN THE ECHL's 22-YEAR HISTORY HAS COME BACK TO WIN A SEVEN-GAME SERIES AFTER TRAILING 3-0.

So voila. HISTORY MADE EVERYWHERE! ♥

matt - do not ftc said...

Hopefully there are no cop cars being burned tonight, lets not put a black eye on this absolutely amazing run

billl 1)1 said...

wv: wings - nit kidding - mm beer

gabba gabba hey

Jaybird said...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Unknown said...

Crosby : "They're opportunistic."

What a captain!

swarkles said...

So Sunday then? So I'm guessing it'll be Tuesday and Thursday after that...hmmm

bill 101 said...

broons fucked

not goof,, imean giid.. good

wv: now I know why it's there

chris nilan said...

i'm here late but HOLY SWEET FUCKING YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL AND I KNOW NONE OF YOU. WHAT HAPPENED TO PENSBLOG?

Mr. natural said...

I'm spent.

I believe

Destiny....

Young HF29 said...

Bs making it interesting

Orangeman said...

2-1 Philly. 1 minute left.

swarkles said...

Flyers win it

Orangeman said...

Bos Phi going to 7. YES!

Young HF29 said...

Yay! Finally some rest for us!

boob gainey said...

And I've got tickets for game one!

Unknown said...

Gotta hope the Bs and the Phylers kill each other next game.

moeman said...

FHF tidbit, some of the astute FHFers wanted more from Gio. Just sayin'.

moeman said...

Man can Sid be an even bigger wuss. Post-game whinin' ain't a good thing Kid. Man up.

moeman said...

Double scoops are almost there FHF kidz ...

Orangeman said...

You can say whatever about Sid during the series, but that post-game interview was pathetic and embrrassing. I just hope he sees it and learns from it. As a hockey fan and a Canadian I want him to be good, but I also want him to be tough and classy.

Unknown said...

Gomez' eyes are pretty sparkly, eh RiRi? =P

Orangeman said...

PFK on CJAD. Wow, my shift button is getting a lot of work today.

iRiRi said...

@ez - omg. how did you know I was watching AC?!

*goes to check out the window*

Hey! Look! Ice Cream X 2!!

iRiRi said...

CHocolate milk all around!
