Yes, the Habs played a great game against a tired opponent, but realistically we can't expect a deep run this year. I hope we can clinch a spot with our next game and rest Price; he looks very tired lately, and I'm sure he's lost weight. His face is thinner.<br /><br />As for getting bodies back, I hope only Spacek comes back. I know Patches is skating, but I think it would be better for him and for the team long-term that he not come back until September. But if Cammalleri and Plekanec are getting back into form (both looked good yesterday) and if Gomez can play at the level he did last night and against Atlanta, we could still do some damage.JFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-85853814771816851222011-04-03T05:05:17.918-11:002011-04-03T05:05:17.918-11:00Hopes and expectations at a reasonable level trans...Hopes and expectations at a reasonable level translates into making the playoffs and having at least three home games for Molson to grab some cash. But looking at the teams in the east, the only really good team that wants to win is Philadelphia. With Pronger back they are all set to return to the Cup finals. Washington, on the other hand, has goalie problems and their defence is not world class. Expect a lot of F bombs from Brucey. Moving on, any team that deals for Kaberle can't be considered serious. The Bruins win one round at most. If they face the Canes I'll take Carolina. Pittsburgh without Crosby and Malken won't go far. Tampa could be scary but seem to have lost their mojo. The Rangers and Buffalo are doing it with mirrors. Carolina looks very good to me and if they make it I think they will make a solid run. Cam Ward and Staal are awesome and Cole is back to what he was before the neck injury.<br /><br />So, that said, the Habs could be out embarassingly early or if they can sneak past the first round who knows?dustynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-67474580997347127312011-04-03T04:15:04.177-11:002011-04-03T04:15:04.177-11:00Certainly, we are not a team that looks like it wi...Certainly, we are not a team that looks like it will go beyond the first round. Aside from not having the horses up front, Carey Price is tired--after the win last night, he looked drained, not happy. Auld may not be Bunny Larocque (or Brian Hayward, or even Jeff Hackett), but playing Carey 70+ games in a season is crazy. My hope is that we pick up our crucial point against Chicago to clinch the playoffs, and Auld gives Carey a couple of games of rest before the season runs out.<br /><br />With that said, maybe Myax Pacioretty comes back and provides a spark in the offseason. Maybe a rested Jaro Spacek solidifies the D. Maybe Scott Gomez consults an exorcist (or a witch doctor) and lifts the curse. Maybe there's hope for a team that has two years of experience in a system that (along with otherworldly goaltending) bought them a deep run last year. But a lot of maybes that have to come together for us to have a chance means... Maybe not this year.Jay in PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609710878759642575noreply@blogger.com
