Round 3 Game 4: Sigh...


Here we have the latest model in Montreal Canadiens skates. Not shown: the skate guards that fall off at inappropriate moments which hinder a defenceman's skating ability.

This ain't looking good, folks.

And on the birthday of her royal highness, the Habs could be heading for summer vacation.

About the only highlight of this game was the HMCS Hal Gill docked behind Jaro and preventing anything from crossing the goal line. What a man! RDS probably enjoyed MAB's desperation dive to save an empty net regardless of how meaningless it was more... It's the thought that counts, I guess. But seriously. Where was the desperation earlier?

With the possiblity of going back to Philly down 3-1, you would think the Habs would have come out the way they did in Game 3... Sadly, the early afternoon start looked more like a mid-February game against Carolina where the possibility of one point seemed like a good idea.

Can they pull out another comeback? Or will Tuesday be Solidarity Day?

Round 3 Game 3 and 4: Everything is bigger in Texas
After a piss-poor effort the other night that made Coach Boucher want to vomit, the Bulldogs came out and stomped all over the Stars, frustrating Jamie Benn to the point of taking a bunch of stupid penalties, and taking a 3-2 series lead with a 3-0 shutout win. Would have been 4-0 if the idiot ref didn't accidentally blow the whistle. Appologies don't cut it, jerk! Lucky the game was already totally in their favour...

Dogs finally head home to try and close out the series, and maybe face the perennial Calder favourites the Hersey Bears. Oh hey Washington Capitals. We would like to try and rain on your parade. Again.

In other franchise news: The Cincinnati Cyclones won the Kelly Cup for the second time in three years! Woo! One down.......
