Typical Game 7 goal.

2:12 to go. Have to expect a wild final push by Tampa

15.3 seconds to go. Habs have missed 3 chances at emoty net

[GalagaGuy]

Winning a Game 7 with 9 shots on goal has to be a first.

Habs win. Leafs’ closest geographical rival Buffalo and Leafs’ closest historical rival Montreal show how to win a playoff series

It’s funny because Montreal was inept on offense but even with more shots Tampa didn’t have a ton of great chances.  The Lightning all seemed to want to take it into the zone solo

So Montreal has a ROOKIE goaltender starting and winning a Game 7 playoff game. Meanwhile, our GM thinks so little of the goalie he drafted 4 years ago that he keeps Talbot on the roster over him. Why even draft Cossa? Just cut him if you think that little of him and admit he's a bust and that Talbot is a supreme being.

They filled the lower AND upper bowls of the Bell Centre for the watch party today.

Yes.

Schedule is out. Sabres-Habs is probably the only 2nd round NHL series I’ll watch. Good news is that’s it’s alternating nights with the Pistons all the way through

Did I get this right? From behind the net he hits the puck out of the air backhanded, it bounces behind the goaltender,  into his rear end, and back into the goal?

Yep. If you’re at home and think you’re the better team, you can’t let it come down to a bad break, bounce or call.
