But yeah Tully's right, they were the better team. Now to beat the Rangers. No idea what to expect. I'm thinking it could be unwatchable.

Fixed your post

Congrats Matthieu!

Hopefully my boys can pull it out now..

Another Habs-Kings final would be odd. That and VegasDave is a bit of a cunt. Go Mighty Ducks!

Agreed on VD. Would be cool to see Ritchie and Carter raise it up again, go Kings.

The game at the TD Garden drew a capacity crowd of 17,565, which was 2,435 fewer than the 20,000 who watched the game on the big screen at the Bell Centre.

Seems strange that TD onlyhold 17.5K. Boston is an original 6 team. I figured minimum 19K.

Good luck Rangers!!!

Prolly construction constraints? It's in a tight spot.

 

[PuckOff]

ah that's right. I remember when it was being built. I think it was right next to something. The old gardens maybe? Montreal will be hopping the next week or so. I wish I could check out a playoff game there. I remember goign to a place on St. Catherine's street that made wicked pizza that had about 2" of smoked meat on it. Delicious.

Looks like the bookies are taking their time in capping the Habs/Rangers Series... I have not seen any lines as of yet...

Habs should be the favorite since they took out the bad Bruins.

MrQ Habs have home ice, so they're definitely faves.

Habs will be favoured because they finished ahead of the Rangers in the standings and will have home ice advantage.

Beating Boston has nothing to do with it.

Weird, there's not even a line for Ducks-Kings Game 7.

 

[Matty]

WELL SAID PLOM

lots of puff in that shirt

I think I knew that the Habs finished ahead of the Rangers..just had a brain fart.

I'm not convinced Montreal will be favorites actually. I think the perception is out there is that the Rangers have been stocked and are now reaching their full potential with Lundy in the zone. I wouldn't be surprised if the Rangers are a very slight favorite.
