Montreal in 7

1-0 Rags after one period, but they're being outshot 16-5. Keep pushing, Habs. Beat these frankers.

Come on, Habs. Get it done! Don't give these assholes any glimmer of hope. I want the Rags out in round one.

Nice uncalled crosscheck to the back of the head there. I guess the refs are in the bag for the Rangers. No shock.

While Roenick went on a rant about the Rangers not getting Lundqvist his stick, he failed to mention they couldn't give it to him. Lundqvist's stick was broken. At one point before the goal, a Rangers player starts to pick it up, realizes it's broken and let's it go. C'mon JR. Lazy ass commentator.

I have no idea what the rules are when it comes to whether or not someone can get a replacement stick from the bench for the goalie if his is broken during play.

Lame penalty, Radulov was a moron for that little slash but BS that it was called considering all the shit the Rags are getting away with thus far.

And this is what you get when the refs don't call shit. Habs are being positively screwed by the zebras in this one.

Are you happy now, glen?

4-3 Habs in OT.

Lots of whining between Boomer in the morning and Mike Windbag Francesca in the afternoon that the Rangers are down 2-1 because of missed calls and shit faceoff stats. Last check the Blues were getting positively whooped on faceoffs and are still up 3-0. Then Francesca said they were 25% in game 3 which I haven't actually attempted to verify. But goddamn that's awful, if true.

That goal by Radulov that made it 3-0 last night, that was some sweet display of skill.

Francesa is full of it. Rags were 47% in Game 3 and 49% for the series. You can't even break it down by period or zone to get to 25%. Derek Stepan sucked in game 3 at 23%, though.

Blues are only 40% for the series with Game 3 being their best at 42%.

Dammit Montreal. To make matters worse the Rags should flatly dominate either Ottawa or Boston so we have to wait for the ECF before the next chance those scumbags get eliminated.

Goalies are allowed to play with a broken stick, but a player cannot 'possess' two sticks at one time... shoot the stick at your own goalie!

The Habs have fallen off signifigantly in the past few years and really need Price to carry them. They should have bought big at the TDL, didn't, and it cost them.

If the Rangers get to the ECF, I expect them to have a solid chance against whoever comes out from the Pens vs Caps series; that's going to go seven games and is going to be brutal for both teams. Rangers should easily be able to deal with Ottawa.
