That was dirty, Wayne.

It definitely was, but I don't mind it at that point in the game.  It's a case of taking a number and dealing with it later.  If the team focuses more on Simmonds then the Leafs, that advantage Toronto.

 

[Arn]

I very much enjoyed pretty much everything about that game.

 

[herman]

Very convincing.

That was dirty, Wayne.

Yup..and It didn't bother me a bit..

 

[Captain Canuck]

Been a long, long time since the Buds beat the Habs in a playoff game.

On that note, does anyone know what that meant?

I imagine you just heard it announced, but if not, a gesture of solidarity to the 4 Habs in the press box.

No I missed thx. I?m glad it wasn?t douche-y then.

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

The mathematical definition of infinity is how much I enjoyed this game divided by how much I enjoyed last game.

 

[ZBBM]

The old men were a lot better tonight but Simmonds really hasn't been an impact player so far in the series....maybe don't taunt the bench when you haven't been driving the play

I have to disagree L K, I thought he did just what they acquired him to do tonight.  The focus was on him, not Anderson.

No problem, they literally answered the question probably a minute after you asked.

 

[Chris]

Pretty solid response tonight. Keep it going.

Yeah, I didn't like it but I understand it.  Trouble is, anybody could do that to Matthews next game.

Zoom and enhance on who made that 5-on-6 DZ takeaway and slipped a perfect outlet to Kerfoot between checks for the EN dagger

That could happen regardless.. Remember Chairot punching him in the back of the head last game?

Foligno at centre is a horrible idea.

Wrong

I think it was a mistake sitting Engvall in that first game.  Reilly is a shutdown center but the Habs score by committee.  You want to pressure every one of their lines.  Having that third line be able to make their presence felt in the offensive zone helped.

They got better as the game went on. Foligno did a good job but he isn't JT.

 

[herman]

Very convincing.

Nothing short of a blowout revenge game will be enough.  I'd still be ok with just a win though.

5-1 should count as a blow out. Well done.

Nash is a 4th liner.. the 3rd line was great all night. The speed Engvall adds makes a huge difference.
