If the Habs go down to a shady call tonight, Downtown is going to get torn up. Habs fans take this stuff very seriously.
Correction... we DO take it seriously, but the tearing up will be done by a bunch of punks just waiting for an excuse to do damage. And I sincerely hope the same thing happens like the last riot that happened.
Everybody took out their cellphones and filmed the idiots, then sent it all to the cops. They made 133 arrests with that evidence!!!
Habs the better team? Since when does one player (Halak) constitute a better team? I want the Habs to win, I'd love to see an all canadian final but jeez, if it wasn't for Halak, and in reverse, if it wasn't for the Caps soso goalies, this series would already be "game over man". I respect Habs deserve to win, but their performance in this series shows they kept pace, but hardly shows they've been a better team, just that, especially in one game, they have the most important player on the ice.
I used to drink the Habs kool-aid, I remember along with my dad crying foul on every trip that wasn't called against my beloved habs, along with all the fans at the old forum yelling "boooooooooooo" after every trip. It's a perspective thing and an incompetence thing. Refs have always favoured "the stars", so Lafleur certainly got a lot of breaks, as did Lemaire and compagnie, as did Gretzky, Lemieux, Denis Savard, Hawerchuk, etc. It's just the way it goes and it's the same in baseball, where the good pitchers get the pitch on the corner every time, the good batter will get the same pitch by a rookie called a ball. Everynow and then, you get the incompetent call a la fisher the other night but c'est la vie. As an Ottawa fan, I can't say I've forgotten the Alfie-Tucker hit that wasn't called (and led to a goal); I know my maple leaf fans coworkers never let me forget it.
50-odd shots in a game clearly states that you are NOT the better team.
I agree. The Caps are the better team...but as we saw last game, the Habs/Halak can pull off a victory.
All I'm saying is that the "fixed" reffing will ensure that the Caps will win. If it means the entire 3rd period is 5on3 for the Caps, so be it! The Caps will not lose this game, and the Refs will make sure of this......if they have to.

But habs fight is not over they still have Pittsburgh to go through.
Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
What ja mean hippo? Bettman will surely prevent the habs from winning. eheh he's already started, their schedule is horrible. They play Friday, then Sunday AFTERNOON! yuck, maybe there's a point to all this talk of "fix".
What a performance by Halak, and what a correct call by the Ref, though I've seen worse non-calls in these playoffs. If I was Washington, I'd be wondering if the fix was in against them, but it was the correct call.
Time to eat my words. Congrats Habs! Now go show the Penguins who's boss
Can you now admit it's not fixed?
