Pitiful puck movement by Montreal

That's the game! We're alive!

 

[JoVel]

Big win! I won't hold my breath though. I still don't like our chances.

 

[Brie]

Big win, might not be enough but I love that our guys at least won't go down without a fight.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

And Toronto continues to sweat a little more. Pressure is on.

 

[DaBolts]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think we've found a goaltender. He really showed some stones tonight.

As an added note, someone go buy a carton of milk and let me know if you have any tips on where #27 is located.

 

[berlin]

Pray to the hockey gods tonight.

 

[Fabiobest]

WOW WOW WOW
Amazing win!!!

 

[Stammertime91]

Damn it. To think if we had only one more win our chance to make it would be so much greater. What an effort tonight.

Please Pittsburgh...

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Go Pens and Devils.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

3 HUGE blocks by Palat!! Dang it, son! Put some ice on those bruises!!

WTG Bolts! We're not dead yet.

Whichever way tomorrow goes, I'm so very proud of how they've been scratching and clawing their way to the last.

Gonna enjoy being at the game on Sunday even more.

Props to Conacher of all people.

Weird box score:

Syracuse Crunch - 4
Montreal Canadiens - 2

Maybe only I care about this, but as someone who hates seeing sub-.500 teams make the playoffs (in hockey or in general), I'm quite relieved that the Lightning cannot do that now. If they make the playoffs, they'll have finished, at worst, 37-37 (if they win a shootout against Buffalo) or, more likely, 38-37 with a win over Buffalo.

Irrelevant, probably, but kind of nice to know the Lightning can't be an example of something I hate now. And, frankly, even if Sunday ends up not being important, it would be nice to finish over .500 anyway. It would be a decent consolation prize for a really disappointing season.

So if Toronto even gets one point the rest of the way, are we done?

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Lightning can afford Toronto picking up one more point. They would win the tiebreaker, in all likelihood. They can't afford Toronto picking up two points. Any combination that yields two points for Toronto would be enough to eliminate the Lightning.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Ignore the clueless tweeter's misspelling...

If this had happened to a soccer or basketball player, they'd be out a week. lol

 

[McPuritania]

Oiler fan here. I'm pulling for you guys so hard. Seeing the Leafs miss the playoffs would be pure joy. I hate the Islanders, and I got a soft spot for you guys beating the Flames in '04. I really hope you guys make it.

That 2nd Montreal goal was such a wonky bounce

Hit Hedman's skate and popped up just perfectly to sail in right under the crossbar.

Great win. Trying to decide if I should watch the Toronto game tomorrow.

If it were me, i would just go do something else and then go check the score at a later time.

I would be ******** myself if i was watching that game.

Anyways, rooting for you guys to make it.

**** the Leafs.

Yeah, I think that's what I might do.

Ok thanks!

Think I'll have to give in and watch this Leafs game tonight.
