Bench Price?...he is the Habs weak spot so far this series.
No you don't. He's been spotty as well as the Habs D, but you certainly have to believe in the kid. B. Gainey took a huge gamble in trading C. Huet and during the regular season I questioned the trade. He's still only 20, but to fair, the whole team needs to pick up the pace, they could easily be down 3-0 in the series. Price is one of the reasons MON advanced to the second round but he's not the same guy...neither is Hasek (benched), Theodore or Nabokov for that matter.

Certainly looked that way, but I thought they had a good chance of holding them off. I did say to my friend that if MTL ties this game in regulation the Flyers may as well not come out for OT and just forfeit the game. Once MTL scored that first PP goal the Flyers looked sapped of all their energy and initiative.

I agree...you play the kid....but...it is So tempting the way he has played. Not just the softness of the goals but the way that he looks completely lost...
Iginla, Ovechkin and Malkin nominated for the Hart Trophy today.
The winner is an obvious choice. But who would you choose as No. 2?
I would select Malkin by a nose over Iginla. Iggy is a great all-around player, but Geno almost single-handedly kept Pittsburgh afloat when Crosby was injured.
Take care,

Tough choice here but my second vote goes to Iggy Pop.
Sounds to me like the Flyers are gonna have to beat the Habs just to teach those Pens a lesson.
From the look of Price last game, you will probably get your wish. I know the Flyers won 5 of 8 vs the Pens this year, but then again, the Pens only took 3 out of 12 games against the Sens and Rangers in the regular season.
The two 5 on 3's the Pens killed tonight at the start of the second period really showed exactly why they are unbeaten so far through the playoffs. Watching them give up their bodies to block shots time after time was a thing of beauty.
Atlantic division represent, 3 out of the final 4 teams in the East

Me neither. Are Pittsburgh and Dallas that good?
I still have my doubts about Detroit, as neither Nashville nor Colorado are that stiff of a test. The Wings will face a much tougher challenge against Dallas. If they dust off the Stars with ease, then I'll become a Big Red Believer.
A Philly-Pittsburgh Eastern Final will be fantastic. What a treat for Pennsylvania hockey fans -- Pa.'s Hatfield's vs. McCoy's on ice!

I would love to see it. Gotta get by the Habs first.
I am equally surprised by all those teams being up 3-0 in the series. COL has some injuries and Theo is still struggling, last night DET was just playing at ease with them. The only series that I think it's closer than what it should be is the Rangers-Pens' one. Boy that E. Malkin can shoot from the blue line. SJ had a tough break as Marleau's goal should have counted and Turco never knew where the puck was, still they can't seem to score on him. How much they have left in the tank for tonight's game?
Go back to page 5 lads some guys predicted all these wins.
And yes Dallas is that good, every year i look for certain things in teams and usualy once i see them that team usualy wins the cup.
Right now Dallas is that team.
Gotta feel good for Matty Nordstrom and hes the reason im rooting for Dallas.
Detroit do look real good Wings Stars is a matchup not to be missed.
I have a friend who is a huge Cubs fan who changes chanels when the opposition bats...
