Unfortunately, none of the Habs' shots were in the immediate vicinity of the crease - hardly any rebounds available with which to follow up.<br />The Flyers' forechecking was as strong as predicted. We have to remain as strong and together as possible.

With our relatively poor puck handling in our zone, it will be interesting what Martin has in store for the Habs to counteract the Flyers' aggressive tendencies.<br />I think there is going to be a lot of pressure on Subban to get the puck out of the zone - he may be our best at doing so. Gill is going to have to lay off his tendencies to hold needlessly.<br />The Habs are going to have to play away from the puck with excellence to create any serious offensive rushes. Otherwise, we're going to be looking at being supremely opportunistic.<br />This first game will be very, very interesting.<br />Go Habs Go!NorCalVolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-70884698251249773302010-05-16T11:17:00.159-11:002010-05-16T11:17:00.159-11:00Why the Hallowe'en colors on the uniforms anyw...Why the Hallowe'en colors on the uniforms anyway?

The only other team in the NHL that I despise more is the Maple leafs. <br />I'm hoping that if the goons are focusing on Cammy and Gionta the 3rd and 4th line can get a few goals. My biggest fear is that someone such as Cammalleri or Gionta will be injured. There's no doubt the Flyers will be crashing Halak as much as possible. As long as the Habs don't lose their cool, I really believe they can beat these Bullies. <br />Cinderella team my eye.

And maybe Matt Cooke.<br /><br />But now, it'll be the constant worry that the Habs will get beaten up. I worry about them but I have one comfort. Just maybe Martin has a game plan that will deal with them much like they were able to deal with those golfing superstars. <br /><br />I want to see good hockey! Is that too much to ask?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301460673069212137noreply@blogger.com
