Re: The NHL 2007-08 Season Thread
wow 3 of the 4 series are up 3-0 i was thinking they would be close than that
They should all by 3-0. Philly deserved game 1, if not for some lousy reffing. But overall, it's been a lame round 2.
Re: The NHL 2007-08 Season Thread

Please. Montreal has outplayed Philly in all 4 games so far. Outshot, outchanced, outplayed. bad breaks and Biron have gotten in the way. I admit the Habs dont' seem to have any urgency and Philly ahs picked their spots but to say Philly desereved to be up 3-0 is ridiculous. In games 2 and 3 Philly was lucky not to be down 3 or 4 nothing after one period. And if you wanna talk lousy reffing how about that extremely iffy call on Begin last night. a 2-2 game with 5 minutes to go and they call him for a "late" hit. Clean hit, nothing dirty but according to the refs judgment it was so late it deserevd to determine the outcome of the game. In my opinion it's call that could've went either way but given the circumstances maybe the whistle should've stayed in the pocket.
Of all the series this is the one that isn't a sure thing yet. If Montreal wins on Saturday there will be ALOT of second guessing in Philly given that they've been outplayed in all the games so far. Go Habs Go!(I'm not holding my breath)

Sorry, playing against goalie that is much better than yours isn't grounds to say 'we should be up'. No, you shouldn't. Montreal has been beaten in net and in hustle, and special teams are turning around too.
I agree on the Begin call. Was a little weak for that spot in the game, but the calls in Montreal are so biased it's sickening.
Next round is the true test

Re: The NHL 2007-08 Season Thread
I am very happy that Henrik shut out Pittsburg. I know the Rangers are down 2-1 but isn't true every 33 years a team has come back and won 4 games in a row and won a series, hopefully the Rangers will pull this out and do it!

Ummm.. yeah CC they should. If you can say Philly deserevs to be up 3-0 or have already won the sereis but got hosed by horrible reffing(please explain that one to me) I can say if it weren't for Biron Montreal would be up 3-1 in the series. Anyone can see that Montreal has outplayed Philly. For the most part in the games Montreal skates circels around them. It's clear Philly will get crushed by the Penguins where as Montreal would excell in that style of series(maybe not win though). Montreal didn't deserve to beat Boston but they've definately been the better team against Philly. Philly ahs managed to pick tehir spots and Biron has been the difference, plain and simple. Oh, him and the posts. Montreal has hit 8 posts this series. Bounces have been huge. Like I said in games 2 and 3 Philly was lucky the games weren't over after the first as Montreal hit 3 posts in the first period in each of those games.

Franzen's hat trick and Zetterberg's 360 goal were pretty fun for me to watch.
Exactly my point. You're a Wings fan, but for the rest of hockey fans who were hoping for and expecting a great series it was a huge dissapointment and not because of a lack of effort or skill or talent on Colorado's part. They just got hit insanely hard with injuries at the worst posible time. I honestly feel a healthy Avalanche team beats a healthy Red Wings team and I'm not the only one who thought this going in. Far from it. We'll never know though so it's a non issue now.
