[Leaftors]

Oh my God, this video is awesome.



Edit: Just saw it was posted in a thread of its own. Really got me pumped some more.

CBC is saying the game is starting 6:30.
may these games never hit overtime, I'd be a mess at work.

PJ Stock thinks that the Senators will sweep the Habs?!
Weeks thinks it will be a Habs sweep.

So, that would mean that they're doing a half-hour pre-game show.

Ahh. gotcha.

coverage starts at 6:30

the puck will drop probably at 7:07 at the absolute earliest.

depending on whether or not there's any special ceremonies, it could be up to 7:20 or 7:25 at the latest.

problem is that to get a good seat at my bar, i gotta go probably around 6... so i could be in for a long night.

[Kurisu]

that's great

 

[FlareKnight]

He dedicated half the segment to pointing out Reimer's deficiencies, but made NO note of Rask's weaknesses.

And I love how he used videos from before this season to prove Reimer's weaknesses. The shoulder shrug is dead thanks to the new goalie coach. The glove is not a problem.

Guess he didn't want to pick out Rask's weaknesses because high glove is a common "weakness".

 

[Doshy]

We need at least a split in Boston. Coming home down 0-2 won't be good.

 

[Kelly]

omgomgomg I'm so pumped.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

43.5 hours to goo....

We don't have anyone doing the GDT. No takers?

Yup. We need to steal one of the two games in Boston. Ideally we win game #1 and put the pressure on them for game #2.

 

[Snow Dog]

Burn The Bruins.I think alot of doubters are going to be surprised.

 

[frankthetank91]

So pumped can't wait. Watching Rocky 4 montage videos making me pumped up even more. Picturing Chara saying "I must break you"



No easy way out boys, BURN THE BOATS.

 

[zeke]

this ritual never gets old for me.

Wow, first playoff game and no one has snatched it up still? Kind of disappointing. I guess it's probably a little intimidating since it is the first playoff game in 9 years and whoever does it would want it to be amazing

 

[SeenSchenn2]

Just realized Gards played in that back-to-back vs Boston and was pretty good.

Hopefully he's back in there.

I guess I will do it.

Ah, I still watch this video about once per week, it's a masterpiece.

Can't say I disagree.
