¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 i wish he had stayed, he was, and would still be the best winger the pens could afford to have. i dont see how they'll ever match that caliber of a player while they have crosby, malkin, staal, fluery, orpik and letang locked up and accounting for 35 mil of the cap. We never will unless we draft one. It would have been Hossa or Orpik though. I like the way things have turned out though not necessarily true on either/or... and we will get a top winger in a year or two when it becomes apparent that we wont keep crosby, malkin and staal after 13/14, someone will be dealt at that point.

brad Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 montreal = a team who was overachieving and coming back down to earth Philly = a team who was underachieving and now playing up to potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swankymodes Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 The difference maker in this series has been the goalies. Leighton somehow looks unbeatable, Halak looks like he's out of gas. On the other side, Chicago is looking really good right now. That offense is scary as it's gotten going in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100resolutions Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 montreal = a team who was overachieving and coming back down to earthPhilly = a team who was underachieving and now playing up to potential I think Montreal have the capacity to step-up. They won the first two rounds with a great golatending and a very strong PK. Don't know what happen to Halak yesterday, especially on the third goal, and we gave 6 goals on our PK in the first two games. If they can put back on ice these two elements, i think they'll be able to face the Flyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 montreal = a team who was overachieving and coming back down to earthPhilly = a team who was underachieving and now playing up to potential I think that pretty much sums it up well. When Philly is pumping on all cylinders they're extremely good team. Leino, Briere, Richards, Gagne, Giroux, Van Riemsdyk are all top-6 tier NHL talent when they're on their game. And Carter, one of their best pure scorers is hurt. Not to mention Pronger is playing like a stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyregret Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I'm sure Montreal will come with fire tomorrow night, especially with their crowd behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swankymodes Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 As a Flyers fan, last night was hard to watch. The defense, Pronger especially, looked terrible. Flyers took way too many penalties too. Maybe somebody can help me, why do the Canadiens fans sing the "Olé Olé Olé" song? It's a Spanish soccer/bullfighting chant. It doesn't make any sense to me that a French-Canadian group of fans would adopt the song. Is there any history/reason to this? Shouldn't they be singing "Frère Jacques" or something?

brad Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Horrible game, but after 6 wins in a row you can forgive it. Today's game obviously is huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgeagain Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Big game today. Hopefully Hawks clinch on Sunday or Tuesday and the Montreal/Philly series goes until Friday.

It's nothing but a question douche bag. I don't care what they sing, I'm just asking if there's a reason why they sing that particular song. There seems to be some habs fans from Montreal that post here, so I figured it's a good place to ask. I'm glad they have fun. I like seeing fans get into it.

brad Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I always thought he was better. Not trying to take away from boosh but regarDless. The way the flyers top four d are playing any goalie is going to look good. A perfect game by the flyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swankymodes Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I know there are a lot of people on here who dislike the Flyers and want to see Chicago kill 'em... but can we collectively agree that it would be kind of awesome for Hossa to lose the cup finals for the third year in a row?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yes, but Philly winning the cup is infinitely worse than watching Hossa lose a 3rd straight trying to hop to front-running teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
