GDT - Philadelphia at Montreal Game 5

[dr_lobster 0]

Dang. I really wanted to see Kovalev & Co. play against Pittsburgh. Hopefully Philly will at least wear 'em down.

I'm shocked...

... not really. Just a little.

Man what a turnaround for Philly, last in the league last season and now they're in the Conference Finals.

Montreal looked like they had that one at 3-1 but they choked.

Still, the fans look great staying back and cheering.

hopefully montreal does not riot!!!

I'll support anyone that can potentially knock Horse-Face Crosby off the playoff tree. I feel Philly has a better chance of it than Montreal would have, so in that sense I'm kinda happy with the result.

really wanted MTL to win but oh well.. from last place in the NHL to the EAST finals in 1 year is not 2 shabby though O.o

Why do the Canadian fans boo everytime Briere touches the puck?

seems that midseason skid worked out well for Philly.

Why do the Canadian fans boo everytime Briere touches the puck?

Because he was rumored to be minitues away from being a Canadien when he left the Sabres after 07, and it never happened. You know..it would be like Wings fans booing Jeremy Roenick or Mark Messier for signing elsewhere when they were free agents the Wings courted. Completely ridiculous.

Because the Habs tried everything they could to get him to sign with Montreal but he said something along the lines of how he'd rather play for a winner instead. Guess he was right.

except mark messier and roenick arn't from detroit. briere is from montreal. they were going to pay him the most money and give him the most years and he turned them down for philly. so no, it's not completely ridiculous.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks for your response.

That is the funniest avatar that I have ever seen

Kind of sucks there won't be an Original 6 matchup in the Finals......again.

But at least all the teams left in the playoffs right now are quality teams that should draw some interest, unlike the typical Anaheim/Tampa Bay/Carolina crap we've had for years.

thank you

Yes it is ridiculous - there's no way I'd want Roenick, nor Messier on my beloved Red Wings

I could be wrong, but if Roenick somehow ended up on the Wings this year, I'd just bet that we'd all love him
