[PST] Stanley Cup Semifinal: Canadiens vs. Golden Knights---the Habs win the series 4-2!

[Toonage]

I'll echo the sentiments for Montreal. Loved my time spent there (aside from the roads, constant construction etc).

A coaching change there would be my guess.

Unfollow, guy has judgement issues.

Given that the name is, hockey images that precede unfortunate events, it seems appropriate.

Awesome!! Thank the gods the expansion team won't win a cup this year. Perhaps their torture will forever be they came so close in the beginning and never get there again.

Carey Price, please collect your Conn Smythe.

Maybe more speed, and a game breaker. It felt like their stars were neutralized in this series

congrats to the habs and their fans. I can't cheer for you though.

It also shows that signing all top players isn't automatically going to mean you'll be successful.

I liked Marc Bergevin, he's pretty happy. Big accomplishment!

Do you think Treliving will be dancing around like that and hugging all the players and staff? We may never know.

When we beat Vancouver in 2015 he was in the tunnel in the last minutes. He celebrated as the team came off the ice with the players.

I saw it myself. Burke and Conroy came out of the press area and I got exactly what i could have hoped a five on the down low from Burke and a massive hug from Connie.

The Flames played better in both games and hit multiple posts in the 2 games they lost to the Habs April 16 and 26. A great save by Allen and some fluke bounces for Taffoli gave them the 1 goal wins in those games. Those go the other way and they were finishing behind the Flames. They had 4 wins in their previous 14 games before that April 26 W vs the Flames.

Well, 2 things made the difference for them between RS and playoffs. 1) Carey Price, and 2) wildly different officiating standards.

Les Canadiens Sont Là!

You people know we’d have two Cups if it wasn’t for the Habs, right?

I can understand if you preferred Habs over Vegas, but the active cheering and over the top “so happy for the Habs!!!!1” vibes in this thread are gross.

Go Isles, obviously.

[flylock shox]

Amazing run for the Habs. If they end up playing Tampa, I hope they hammer them.



Stupid Tampa.



Either way, it's gonna be something to watch while we all shelter through 35+ heat next week.

Of the three remaining teams, 2 have a Cup at the Flames' expense and 1 has a Cup at the Oilers' expense.

Go Isles, indeed.

There's no one as likeable as Carey Price on any team left.

Well who do you cheer for if it’s Tampa then?

Silly take. Did they cheat to beat us? We came back and beat them 3 years later and showed them that we can win. "Revenge" if you will. Why harbour such ill feelings and hatred towards a non-rival all these years? It is unhealthy.

Honestly that’s my feelings these days. It takes too much energy to actively dislike every Canadian team and it has to be the Flames bringing back the cup to Canada. Just enjoy some hockey and relax. Really anyone but Edmonton and Vancouver. And screw Vegas.

They were

2nd seed against 18th seed and the longest odds in 3rd round history for betting

Etc like parking signs?

[djsFlames]

Will be getting at least five years of cocky Montreal fans from this little run, regardless of how it ends.

I suppose there are worse fanbases you could give this sort of ammunition to.

Can you believe we beat up on these guys this year?
