well let's see, there was the missed call on Koivu...that should've been a 4 minute major, there was the non call on Markov (for another highstick by Williams) they kept interfering with Huet, and none of it got called til the last two games...i could go on, but there's no point in making excuses, i accept they lost, Carolina was probably the better team anyway, but i agree Montreal deserved a bit better luck for as hard as they played this series, and during the playoff race.
Yeah, 4 straight ouch. bye bye les habs.

Aren't you from Toronto?? I think I saw Domi driving off from the ladies tees yesterday....
The Darkest Canuck Wrote:i feel for ya buddy, but they put up a good fight (a lot better than most people expected them to), and they're still (for the most part) a very young team...the future looks bright though, and i think with the right moves during the offseason, the habs have the potential to be a top 4 team in the East next year...i think they should seriously go after Selanne, Naslund, or Bertuzzi...so that when something like what happened to Koivu occurs, there's somebody there to really fill the void, Plezcanek, Murray, and Begin all played very well in Koivu's absence, but none of them could fill the role of #11.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TAKE BERTUZZI OFF OF OUR HANDS! PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU!
Btw, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have swept the Canes if Koivu didn't get injured. Did it hurt Montreal? Hell, yes. Was it the deciding factor? I don't think so. Hey, if you play the 'what if' game you could say if Carolina started Cam Ward from the start they might have swept the Canadiens. 8)

EXACTLY!!! they'll call a little tug and a push here and there, but Koivu almost loses an eye, right in front of the net, and they let it go....Bettman is ridiculous, and so are his rules

Yes, he is and YES, they are! Hockey is on the brink of becoming a sideshow with the new rules.
