Is Halak good enough to steal the series?<br /><br />a) Yes, he's not lost all year when facing forty or more shots, which is about what we can expect on Thursday<br /><br />3. What, aside from goaltending is the most important X factor for Montreal?<br /><br />c) no-quit attitude<br /><br />4. What's the Caps' biggest weakness?<br /><br />a) They're under huge pressure to win.<br /><br />5. Is it possible to slow Ovechkin down enough to neutralize him?<br /><br />a) No, they'll just have to focus on controlling the other potent scorers in that lineup.<br /><br />6. On the PP, the Caps and Habs are one-two in the league. On the PK, however, the Habs are considerably more efficient, at 83% versus the Caps' 78.8% Can the Habs PP take advantage of that Washington weakness well enough to make a difference?<br /><br />a) Yes, Bergeron's shot is a potent weapon and is just rounding back to form after his injury layoff.<br /><br /><br />7. Metropolit is shooting the puck and skating hard. If he's able to make a miracle comeback, will he make a difference?<br /><br />a) Yes, it takes gritty guys like him to rally the team, and he's great in the playoffs.<br /><br />8. What's the worst thing Martin can do to hinder the team's chances?<br /><br />c) sit on a one-goal lead <br /><br />9. If, by some miracle, the Canadiens can beat Washington, how far do you think they can go? <br /><br />a) All the way, baby! Taking down the Caps would be a sign it's their year.<br /><br />10. If, as predicted by every expert on earth, the Caps win quickly and easily, what positive memory will you take from this season?<br />d) the Centennial game, in which all the greats reminded us of what this team stands for, but may never see againHumbertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18441663920767070599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-77738006534974355612010-04-13T04:33:39.045-11:002010-04-13T04:33:39.045-11:001) Youpee.

Does H stand for Habs?<br />3) The media, hands down!<br />4) Vodka<br />5) Yes. Ask JM to wear the brightest tie.<br />6) That depends. If PP is greater than PK and PK is relative to PP then PP over PK does NOT equal PK.<br />7) The key word being 'miracle'.<br />8) Freak them out by suddenly getting all giddy behind the bench.<br />9) You like the word 'miracle' don't you?<br />10) Your blog.

...lol @ Laraque's startling return. I love it.<br /><br />On another note, I'm glad we face Washington (first time in history, really!?) and not the Bruins again or the soporific Devils and their defensive trap system. MTL vs WSH is a guarantee of fast exciting hockey.<br />Go habs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
