ECF: (A3) Montreal vs. (M2) New York

[GhostofPotvin29]

The wind just got a penalty for knocking over Plekanec.

I can only hope the Leafs can have a 4th line that can have the kind of impact the NYR's 4th line does.

YES! THERE IS A HOCKEY JEEBUS!

 

[Kin]

Well, our long national nightmare is over.

[Kin]

If only the Leafs could find a player like Dominic Moore.

 

[bustaheims]

Well, that's a mild relief. I didn't expect the Habs to win any hardware, but it's nice to know they won't.

 

[Kin]

I take it Don Cherry doesn't realize that Nik Kulemin is 6'1/225?

I missed it, what did he say?

most likely about how awesome and underrated Russian players are.

Somewhat of a cringe-worthy segment of the post-game Coaches Corner.  He rushed through discussing a very strong performance by Tokarski and rambled about how he needed to talk about the Leafs.  Said something about size, showed highlights of Abbott's hattrick and then declared that Kulemin shouldn't be a Leaf because he scores 7-8 goals and that Abbott should be playing for them instead.

That it's ok to have smaller players so long as they're smaller players with hands like Spencer Abbott. What you can't have, in Cherry's opinion, are smaller players on the wing who only score 7 or 8 goals like, you know, Nik Kulemin.

Don Cherry comically misinformed about a players from outside of North America? It's like he does that on purpose!

Congratulations to the New York Rangers on winning the President's Trophy as (Eastern) Conference Champions.
A  series well-played.  Now, on to the Stanley Cup Final.

Felicitations ? les Canadiens for a fantastic playoff run.  Afterall, it's been awhile since the last time a Canadian-based team challenged for the President's Trophy.
Good job, Habs!  (From a Leafs fan, BTW). 

Besides, there's something about our beautiful national anthem being sung at playoff time. 

 

[Boston Leaf]

While I am glad to see the Rangers move on the Habs have nothing to hang their heads over.. Konocking out the Bruins was such a thrill for me to watch.. I wanted them to beat TB and then Boston but then I was hoping it would end.. They will be a force to reckon with.. although the embellishing hit another level this series.. Every team does it but it seems like the Habs go to school to learn it.. Anwyway they had a great run. Go Rangers

Tough loss.  They never really got close in the 3rd.  If they could have just squeaked out a win, I think they would have taken game 7 and been on their way to the finals where anything can happen, especially if Price was able to return.  Oh well, it was nice to believe for a while.

 

[Madferret]

Not sure who is more upset this morning - Scrif or Manson?

Zee I'm pretty sure you'd give your left *** to watch your precious dysfunctional Leafs go on a run to the Conference Finals.
