Caps vs. Habs Game Six: Rock the Casbah

Notes on the third:

-Backstrom's really something else. He's got better vision than the Hubble Telescope.

-Subban has got to be gassed. He played OT in Hamilton last night.

-Lapierre!!! Unreal. Keep your foot on the gas, boys!

-Closeup of Boudreau on the bench, and he looks like a soft balloon with a slow leak.

-The reffing has been decent tonight, but diving on Gionta is just rotten. He's the least likely guy on the ice to take a dive. It's not in his nature.

-Lapierre, however WOULD dive. He just didn't. There must be a buy-one, get-three-free special on diving penalties in the ref's gift shop tonight.

-I'd wonder what it might be like if Halak had started the game Price started instead. But, I think Halak really needed the break.

-Apparently, referee injustice is rocket fuel for Lapierre. What a game he's playing! Most nights his reason for existence is solely to convert oxygen to carbon dioxide, but he's working for a higher cause tonight.

-Standing O in the Bell for Jaro's fiftieth save. They know their hockey, and they're such a great crowd when they're not booing.

-Thank you Habs, for NOT losing on my birthday!! For a change.

-It's hard not to think too far ahead, but you know what would really upset me? If the Habs take down, say the Caps and Pens, then run out of gas, clearing the way for some lame team like Philly to make the Finals.


Notes on the second:

-McGuire must be paid by the number of times he says "Alexander Ovechkin." In one sequence he said "Alexander Ovechkin one-on-one there against Alexander Ovechkin. Second effort by Alexander Ovechkin." Ch-ching, Pierre!

-Scary defensive breakdowns on D early on, and WAY too many penalties.

-Andrei Kostitsyn has tons of skill, but he's just not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.

-Diving on Lapierre? Really? I guess the Commish has the Bell on speed-dial.

-There are more knots in my stomach than in a macrame plant hanger.

-Maybe less of the O-VEE-SUCKS chant when they're pressing hard like that, fans. It'd gut the crowd if Ovechkin scores while they're doing that.

-Love how the crowd rumbles with anticipation every time Subban's got the puck though.

-Am I the only one wondering what might have been if this team had been healthy all year?

-Jaro Halak is playing out of his mind. This is goaltending that needs a psychiatric evaluation before it can stand trial.

-Twenty minutes left before the Caps officially crap their pants.


Notes on the first:

-All I ask is that they play like they really want it. Winning it would be a bonus.

-Oh, and I ask that nobody boo Subban if he makes a Soobie Boo Boo.

-Ah, Kostitsyn! You have to think some of these Habs would benefit from doing nothing at practice but hitting the net from every part of the ice.

-Nice hit by the Subbanator on his first shift. He's going to damage some people when he gets his NHL timing down.

-I found it funny when Miller on TSN said, "Halak stands tall, " while he's scrambling around on his ass.

-It's really hard to type when your hands are shaking this hard.

-First thing I think of when there's a Habs PP is NO SHORTIES!

-Cammalleri is unbelievable. UFOs are more believable than him.

-What a kill on the 5-on-3! They killed it like Montagues killed Capulets.

-I can't believe this team is OUR Habs. I'm so proud of them!
