Round 2 Game 6: Take it to the Igloo

This is what we missed during the TV time out after Cammy scored that sexy sexy sexy 2nd goal. I dare you to beat this Morgueloo. Or will you be busy knitting behind the bench. (A Dickens' fan?)

I'm thinking all those people who wrote premature eulogie and apologetic excuses feel kind of weird right now eh.

Ladies and gentleman, you're current League-leading goal scorer is MICHAEL CAMMALLERI! Also leapfrogged Damphousse.

Bullet points in bullet time:
- Is it possible for four players to win a Conn Smythe? Cammy, Gorges, Gill, and Jaro in that order.
- That 'A' looks gorgeous on you, Gorges.
- PK had 30 minutes of ice time. THIRTY MINUTES! All mostly in Crosby's face. I wonder if he dreams about PK's lovely smile flashing by as he smokes down the ice with the puck...
- Bergeron is NOT Hal Gill. Notice? No Gill, Crosby scores 1... Versus guy says Hal would have had him.
- Marry me, Cammy.
- According to Cammy, AK46 is awesome. Our BelaBear is waking up again. Two assists and a solid hit on Staaaal. Also would have scored if he wasn't being hooked by Crosby. (Oh sorry, a "great defensive play" that would have been called a hook if done by any other player wearing red YES I'M WEARING MY TINFOIL TUQUE!)
- Gomez suffers from Hisics (Higgins Physics) in that a sure goal will turn into a miss. However, Gomezics allows him to pass the puck through a thicket.
- Does Crosby have a special Gretzky clause in that the refs just really can't call him for any kind of penalty? Really?
- I'm really hoping the boys rallied around Gill missing the game to get him into Game 7.
- Saskatcheplough ploughed the front of the net and saved a goal.
- Spacek should have more vertigo if it makes him score like that.
- Mad Max smells Dumont coming up behind him eh? What a goal!
- M. Beliveau air fist pumping to Metro while in the hallway was the most awesome thing ever.
- Cammy accepting his first star to thunderous applause worthy of a Koivu return.
- We've officially dumbfounded PJ Stock. Of course, I thought he was already dumb...

Game 7. It's cold out. It snowed yesterday. The Bruins might also be going to 7. We simply cannot have Spring until the Habs and Bruins meet. It's like the groundhog day of our lives. The planet demands it, boys! Make it so.

The Habs won the first game ever played in the Morgueloo. They have a chance to close that barn down and totally come full circle.

Off topic, though semi related. Someone on twitter mentioned the Habs D was basically taped together with duct tape, but if there's one thing Red Green taught us it's that duct tape solves everything. My hamster's water bottle appears to have broken. I don't have duct tape, but I do have clear hockey tape. That works too!

Round 2 Game 6: THE GOOD GUYS WIN!
Playfair didn't explode from what I know. Sanford had a shutout. It was a 4-0 smackdown on the goondsquad Abbotsford Heat. North Division Champs! Bulldogs are going to the Western Conference finals!

Yea, the Habs are the only team with both teams still in the playoffs. And we know they're watching and cheering.

Can you believe the Blues traded away Palushaj (a 2nd rounder) for Dagger (a sixth rounder). Tonight he got a goal, 2 assists, and the 3rd star. Desharnais and Trotter also scored with Glumac getting the empty netter.

Next up, it'll either be the Stars or the Wolves. (Hi Ron and Don and Stewie!)

Round 2 Game 2: There's been a robbery!

Stolen: Home ice. If located please contact your local official so he might hand out the appropriate penalties.

And after the one error that caused a hilarious "what the fuck are you doing" look by Muller to Martin (oh that was awesome), the Habs wised up, pushed the Pens outside, kept them clear of the front of the net and the center and generally annoyed the piss out of them so much so that Crosby completely flipped out. The shot total? Who cares. Most were perimeter shots and fairly routine. If there's one thing people have discovered this year it's that you can't win on the back of one player alone. Sure you can win a game, but not a series.

First off, this goal was fucking awesome.

Oh and McAwkward? Cammy doesn't even reach over the crossbar. That's like calling Gio for highsticking.

Where would we be without Mike Cammalleri? Well, we wouldn't have any goals scored. Likewise it's tough without Markov but Subban totally makes up for his loss. That kid, the kid I called a mini Bobby Orr and no one believed me, over 20 minutes of ice time in only his fourth playoff game and he's already got a goal and two assists. Hal Gill, oh what can we say of Hal Gill that even Crosby wants to give him hugs. Gorges, Hamr, even Bergeron was decent enough on D, that a ragged Jaro was able to get his form back and not worry too much. Gomez and Gionta, joined at the hip, and Pouliot is slowly figuring out what to do in the playoffs. Pyatt doesn't need points, he's supposed to prevent them. Moore and Lapierre, organized and defiant.

We know what this team is made off. Character. Will their character win out in the end? No idea. But they'll continue to work on it, and continue to try, and hopefully continue to befuddle TSN and CBC and all the annoying sports network talking heads that just don't get it. (Memo to Brian Wilde: please shut up, you make yourself look and sound like such a tool after every game).


Round 2 Game 2: Same for the Dogs!
If character is what describes our Habs, the same could be said for our Bulldogs in their own 3-1 win on the Heat to tie the series back up. Take Ryan White: scores a goal early in the first, takes a puck to the face near the end of the 1st, spends the whole 2nd period getting stitched up, and returns in the 3rd with a full face shield, doesn't miss a bit, doesn't let up on how he plays, comes out to accept his game star covered in blood.

Now they spend 3 games in Abbotsford to try and win this series.
