If they can't help us, who will?We just don't know what to do anymore. And really, who has any confidence that the Fucking Habs can get a point tonight and clinch a playoff spot?
(...)
That's what I thought. I'm just gonna lay out the basic info here and then get out of the way to let you guys argue over whether Schneider is playing. 7 PM start in Boston. Habs have taken 1 of 5 against the B's this year. Woohoo! B's are on a 7-0-1 run at home. That's a streak dying to be broken! Sensible Bruins blog
Cornelius Hardenbergh and The Hockey Adventure will be posting 5 questions answered by yours truly later in the day (I'm everywhere on the intertubes today). In return, I asked Corny for his take on tonight's matchup:
I think that the habs will still be banged up and the bruins will be trying desperately not to be. The gahden crowd will not stand for it, and by the second we'll be back to the bruins/habs games we enjoy. The bruins will either not really show up and lose closely (see: tuesday's Ottawa game) or decide to play and win by at least 3 goals.
At the very most, one fight.
Seems reasonable. Thanks for doing my work for me!
Everyone is cold for the Habs, except maybe Metro who rocked the Rangers game. I care not to look up who to watch for on the B's. I am only interested in watching Claude Julien outcoach the man who fired and replaced him.
RDS now reports Schneider was in on the morning skate and may play tonight. Really!
OK, start arguing
If they can't help us, who will?

Lucic is the definition of the offensive word.
@Rips: Great minds think alike
In BOB we trust!
I am not one to ref whine but the Bs have goat fucking pictures somewhere. Apologies to all goats reading this hockey blog.
Word Verif i= iriesp, irie mon!
@DP, nice non-use of the offensive word.
Is it just me, or is this intermission extra long?
That period stirred me from my self imposed exile. No BGL, no Stewie, but they're not backing down. No Markov, Potsie up from Hamilton, and TSS pulling off the finest resurrection in 2,000 years (almost to the day) and we're 3 for 4 on the PP.
I may actually stay sober until after the game.
Lucic is any offensive word, the most offensive word you can think of. And not necessarily only THAT offensive words but other ones too.
Please don't blow this guys. Please.
RDS has the score 0-0,.
Buncha fuckwads.
I agree with DP, Lucic is a very dirty word. In my book it replace stucker.
stucker = tucker, same diff
nhl.com has Lucic serving a misconduct from 8:12 in the 2nd... is he not out?
GHG. Let's not count on Florida for our playoff berth...
Oyveyber has played well for an AHL kid.
Oh shit, Rhino's on the ice.
I'm nervous. this is like the playoffs.
Hey Habs, play in da Bs zone for a while.
I would rather Breeze over O'Burn
that says a lot.
ouCH
Dammit. Because it's Dandy, I'm not going to yell at him.
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. don't let this penalty cost us the season.
Why not just play with no Dmen on that fucking PP. Great job guys....
FUCK YOU CHARA YOU ARE AN INSULT TO THE OFFENSIVE WORD
*sobs*
LLS*
* Instead of FFS, y'see.
Cheap ass goal.
Still a point with 14 mins left.
Even more bad news... Florida just scored again. 3-2 Panthers.
I have a bad feeling about this.
The funny thing is to Bs and their fans this is a good as it has been for many, many years.
@Daniel Plainview: "I have a bad feeling about this."
Mike Boone, is that you?
@kc, hope!
fuck dandenault, that one killed me
@moeman, so fucking true. this is their Stanley Cup.
Losers.
@dp, hope!
too late
FLA is less than 1 min to 2 points, lets get at least 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
get ready for more dump the puck in a pray hockey...best example, gorges was wide fuckin open...but, dandenault felt he needed to just dump the puck out...well you know the result.
don't worry about this game. we'll beat the Penguins.
Man, do these arena workers suck or what?
First they take like 10 minutes to fix the clock, then they bring out the wrong-sized panel of glass... idiots.
This is the longest regular season game ever.
The Bs are the best at delaying games with power outages, loser fans, having to fix shit, timing issues, bad fans, un-explainable delays, zombiefnas unless they have a lead, Bruins fans.
Well, at least the Thrashers gave us the Semitic Saviour, so I can't be mad at them.
Fuck sobriety
Word Verification - inacargo
Lucic inacargo plane to Somalia
FLA bags 2.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a plexi change take so long.
Still 13 minutes +.
I'm staring to get the old "fuck this game feeling." i still have some weed left over.
Wow, I'm surprised Lucic didn't try to check Komi from behind while he had an opportunity.
If my Habs win tonight, I am eating a nice, thick, medium-but-mostly-rare-steak tomorrow. Sorry Jesus.
The ZombiePanthers just won't die.
Word verif = avoid.
The Habs had better avoid safety-first hockey. Give it a right go!
we'll beat Pittsburgh on Saturday

Koivu destroyed Ward. good job Saku I love you forever.
Ward always flops around crying then he gets up like nothing happened, *insert offensive word here*
Koivu the enforcer =P
if the Bruins score it will be lights out. they play that smothering trap so well once they get the lead.
Less than 9 minutes ...

i feel like in the Shining when the kid is driving around in the big wheel. I'm fucking scared shitless.
Well, they're not playing safety first hockey anyway. That's good.
Nervous as fuck.
and enough of this "le Canadiens" shit, its "Les Canadiens." you know, like, in the song and their OFFICIAL name.
I don't mind much of RDS gametime, except for brunet bur Pierre Houde is a nattering negative nabob of negativism.
Tiny's mask just screams "SPECIAL!!"
Anti-Chambre, aka Nords-lovers/Habs-haters coming up after the game, yeah. Not.
I'm sorry I'm being negative. I just have a bad feeling.
but I like what I've seen tonight.
I take back every single bad thing I've ever said about Higgy.
Higgins looks like a warrior out there.
Go into PK mode.
FUCK YOU RDS DONT JINX THIS SHIT
Higgins is awesome.
If our season ends on a fucking SH goal I will mail a bag of feces to the Bell Centre
!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE IN THE P L A Y O F F S FUCKERS !!!!!!!!!!
PLAYOFFS!!!!
Playoffs baby! Clinching in the Garden, friggin' sweet.
Okay, no injuries in OT, please. Can we just sit Schneider for the rest of the night now?
I can finally breathe again!
PLAYOFFS MOTHERFUCKERS!
This would be one hell of a series, too!
Original Six playoffs hockey;
- Canadiens, iN
- Bruins, IN
- Black Hawks, IN
- Red Wings, IN
- Rangers, Maybe
- Leafs, heh
Yeah, let's boo an obvious offsides call. Way to go, geniuses.
B's fans = lowered expectations
Rangers are in. I feel sorry for Florida, all told.
@moeman: Rangers are in too.
Who fucking cares.
We lost the bonus point, whatever. I'm happy with how we survived the onslaught tonight and I think we know that we have a way of beating them in the playoffs.
Go Habs Go.
- Leafs, heh
Well, FUCK...we're in!!!
Word verif: mazed...as in I'm aMAZED that Lucic still lives.
and the Bruins win the Stanley Cup.
PLAYOFFS!!!!
This was a game the Habs would have won. They would have won it if they had any type of a competent defence.
This defence will not survive a playoff series.
PS: The NESN commentators are a bunch of Lucics.
'Who fucking cares.' = Bs winning.
Good night all... if you see a tall Asian guy in a Max (how appropriate) sweater at Saturday's game, stop me and say hello.
Yet another fantastic 4HF game thread. The playoff threads are gonna be some sick fun.
If our defence can somehow become really good, then they have a great chance against the Bruins/Washington. It all boils down to how the D plays and how the PP performs.
Poor Laps. Ah well, great game from the Habs.
I can't fucking wait to see Markov and Weber work a powerplay together.
I think if Markov comes back we can make some noise. I have a feeling he will.
Schneider looked great. just unbelievable.
Fuck.
I'll admit it, I got greedy when we were up 4-3... and when we sent it into OT ('Cause the Bs are meh in OT).
Poor Max.
But I still would MUCH rather finish in 7th... Is that even possible now?
(Never buzzed ya with the updates 29... sorry!)
ON EST DANS LES PLAYOFFS BABY!!!! CHIKA CHIKA YA CHIKA WHAT? YEAH!!
I had never been so fuckin stressed in my entire fuckin life. And don't even care that they lost, im just glad i dont need to watch a last game of the season, must win game again.
AND MILAN LUCIC CAN SUCK MY LEFT NUT!!
Seirously, moe - awesome thread (I just read through it). I just didn't want to come on here because I was watching the game on DVR, and then when we caught up in the second we were winning, and I wanted to stay away from the 'puter... I'm that superstitious (former goalie complex).
But, yeah, the playoffs are going to be SICK if we're busting 250+ comments in the regular season!!
lets go for 500 posts in the playoffs.
Gotta say, I'm not as elated about the game as I could have been. We actually could have won that shit.
By the way, HAMR sucks. Fuck, put Breezer in instead of him!!
It sucks that the tying and GWG came against two of my favourite players (Dandy and Max). Maybe that's why I'm so bummed out. :(
I wish i had a laptop then i can multitask, watch and comment at the same time. Since i dont i wait till intermissions, which sucks cause im always too lazy to read all of the post so i just skim through them.
Lapierre is amazing around the boards. In the last few games, i dont think i ever saw him lose a battle around the boards. Too bad for him that he was the one who coughed up the GWG
The beauty of the Habs fan here on 4HF is we are genuine and not hypocrites like the RDS/TQS backstabbing fuckers. Those jerks are some kinda dissembling nutjobs.
@LG77: No 'could' about it. We actually should have won that shit.
Hamr and O'Byrne can toss off for the playoffs, seriously. Especially Rhino. Komi needs to get his mind right......in a week. Hurm.
Bonsoir mes ami(e)s.
Rips: Hamr and O'B have been tossers all year. In fact, I started yelling it at Hamr a few games ago (and had to explain to Mr. LG77 what it meant).
As for Komo - I have never seen an athlete in as much of a need of a shrink as him. It's actually kind of pathetic.
Come on guys - I really wanna finish 7th!!!!!!!
Bonsoir mon moe!
I hope Markov comes back. we'll beat these bitches in 6 if thats the case.
Au revoir moeman.
Habs in seventh at the moment due to their superior record against the Rangers (or have I calculated that wrong?). Who would you guys prefer to play in the opening round, Boston or Washington? I won't even float the idea of the Devils.....
LG77: Komi really has been dreadful all year, especially against the Bruins. He tries to look tough but mentally, he's bending over for Lucic & co. I'd keep him on a reduced short term contract after this season, just to see if he can recapture his form next season. There will hardly be a stream of suitors lining up to sign him on the basis of this season, surely?
I would prefer to play the Caps. Not necessarily because I think that we will have an easier chance of beating them (although I do), but because I think it would be LEGEN-wait for it-DARY to play Theodore in the playoffs.
And the Broons scare me. yeah, that's right, I said it.
Rips - someone is going to overpay him and he'll be gone. We'll see whether a change of scenery helps him.
Personally, i think he started the season VERY well with Markov, but then Lucic broke him and he hasn't been the same since. It makes sense - his entire game was getting in front of shots, and throwing himself with abandon all over the ice. The moment that he realized that he was breakable... well... he has been tentative and a big ol pussy. Which has killed his game and created the anti-Komosaurus.
It sucks because he used to be one of my faves too. :(
The Bruins are a no class team.
Claude Julien is a no class trapping ugly thug who'll get fired next year or the year after anyway.
agreed, he's a miserable fat fuck. you could see how pissed he was at the Montador penalty at the end cause he wanted to show up Gainey. First in the east isn't enough, asshole?
LG77: Boston scare me too, although they scare me far less after tonight's game than they did previously. If Markov comes back, we can beat them. If he doesn't, then it's possible but not probable. The Caps would suit me far better, plus even if we do lose to them, at least our centenary season wasn't ended by the Bruins. Every cloud...
That is an excellent synopsis of the Komi situation. I doff my stovepipe hat to you. That makes it clear that he needs a shrink over the summer. That or a suit a-la "Iron Man". As for who'd pay big money for a broken Komi, look no further than Edmonton.
PS: Tosser is such a fun insult, especially when you understand the connotations behind the term.
Rips - re: tosser: yup, it's one of my favourites. And I nod in the general direction of yer stovepipe hat, luv!
I agree that Boston scares me much less after tonight, but the skeptic in me worries that our number is up after so many April victories against them... then again, I was also worried last year about the symmetry of facing them in 1st place, so WTF do I know??
If the Bruins are going to dress a guy named "Bitz", then they really need to acquire a "Kibbles"
The Antichambre guys are really ragging on Gainey because he didn't dress Laraque.
Dave Morisette: you played 7 frigging games in the NHL as an enforcer, and lost every fucking fight. Shut the fuck up you clown
Michel Bergeron: telling everyone how he used to play Basil McRae with Dale Hunter etc etc ... HOW MANY FUCKING CUPS DID YOU WIN TIGER?
Jacques Demers. OK you won us the cup. But instead of bitching about Bob, did you notice how Latendresse and Lapierre cost us the game in OT with their typically brain-dead play? You missed that didn't you?
All of you: Laraque was on the ice when Schneider and Markov were injured in T.O. Did you notice? You fucking idiots!
Boob - I don'T think Pebbles would have made a lick of difference because nobody on the Broons Goon Squad is stupid enough to accept his invitation to dance.
Stewart, on the other hand, would have punched every last one of those motherfuckers in the teeth. I would have dressed him before dressing AK46.
But I stopped watching l'Antichambre because of the dangerous things it does to my blood pressure. Looks like you should do the same.
PLAYOFFS! WOOOOO!
Would have been 2 points if not for that stupid delay of game crap, but we'll take it.
Also I think Ryder craps his shorts every time he tries to score on his old friends. (Which is good).
And Benoit Brunet must be "removed".
I forgot one thing.
Mathieu Schneider is a fucking stud.
Sign him for next year please.
Yes! Schneider is our new Breezer. Breezer can go retire and race cars, Schneider is needed for the Schneider Play(tm) and to help raise Weber into an equally effective stud. (And the kid was damn good tonight. Made smarter plays than a few other defensemen and wasn't even on as defense. Plus watching Bergeron block his shot was funny. Guess no one warned him).
So I just wiki'ed Michel Bergeron.
10 years as head coach in the NHL.
6 playoff series victories.
No appearances in the final.
And he's giving Gainey advice?
SHUT THE FUCK UP MICHEL! Jesus!
Michel is a windbag. I was once a McD's manager, whisked away to the Laurentians for a convention, where Lord Bergeron was a guest speaker (this was in like, '98). Anyway, all he could do was yak about his NYR exploits, as if he ever accomplished any fucking thing. We all sat with glazed eyes, grateful not to have to worry about managing the lunch rush for a day, and waiting for the dancing and drinks in the evening.
Once a windbag....
