[SBN Habs Blog - Habs Eyes on the Prize]
It's far from over friends, but it's pretty damn close.
One more win and the Pens are off to the Conference Finals for the third year in a row. One more win and they are one more series win away from a repeat effort in the Stanley Cup Finals. But before we get too ahead of ourselves, let's remember who we're going up against. Jaroslav Halak, in my opinion at least, has not had "that" game yet. You know, like MAF had in Game 3. This is only part of the reason why you can't rule out this Habs team.
The other is of course the Bell Centre atmosphere. I've said it once and I'll say it again - that place just strikes me as the last place you want to play a road playoff game. I can't imagine how fired up Montreal gets skating into that arena on a regular basis before the postseason, but once the playoffs hit it must be ridiculous. When I was up there for the 2009 Draft last summer the place was pretty crazy even for something as mundane as a bunch of names being announced over a loud speaker. Since then, watching a Habs game in Montreal made it onto my bucket list.
But let's not forget that the Pens split the last series in Montreal. They can win on Bell Centre ice and they're going to give it their best tonight.
Sit back and enjoy the show.
Format: Winning team name - Score - First Pens goal scorer's last name
Give me the first Penguins goal scorer
Give me the final score (include which team will win)
Example: Penguins - 7-2 - Lemieux

Fleet Fox -
I gave you a rec for a possible User Name based off an awesome band, as well as a great Simpson’s quote as your signature.
Aw, thanks.
It’s most DEFINITELY for the awesome band! Love ‘em. The Simpsons quote just suits the poor ’09-’10 Leafs so well.

One last post
Frank has my pick above. Just wanted to wish you guys luck for the game.
I’m not going to be around for a couple of days as I’m being deployed for a training exercise in some jungle. I’d so much rather watch the game with you guys than lug around about 50 pounds of gear whilst getting shot at.
Have fun guys and wish me luck. I’ll pack my Fleury jersey in my pack and try to avoid (rubber) bullets.
After about a year and a half, I've finally got around to giving myself a profile. Yay me!
Just so I never have to answer this again. I'm from Singapore so whenever you see me online, I'm either sleep deprived or just waking up.

Halak Overstated
The Canadiens play a system similar to what New Jersey started doing in Jacques’ first go-round.
Brodeur “greatest ever”, Halak “the man who can beat us”..etc.
See the similarities?
Halak barely has to move his feet or face second shots. He made a nice glove stop on Letestu, and stays fast to his posts. You can see he has good form, but, through no fault of his own, he hasn’t had to do too much in this series. He made some nice saves in the last game, but he is not doing anything particularly remarkable.
The Halak narrative is a hoax.
So, I shouldn't invest in the company that makes the Halak stop signs?

That’s funny.
It’s like putting a cross over your bed to keep The Devil away.
On a certain level, neither Halak, nor the Devil, exists.

Guins agree on Halak
BEHIND ENEMY LINES
The Penguins players, who actually are out there playing against Halak and the Canadiens, aren’t buying into the Halak Hoax. In fact, their observations are quite in line with what I have been saying about Halak in this series since after Game 2:
“NOTABLE
The general feeling in the Penguins’ locker room is that Montreal goalie Jaroslav Halak has been very good in this series but hasn’t necessarily been forced into being great because of the Canadiens’ terrific defensive work. Halak might have to be great tonight, and he has a history of performing in these situations. He produced one of the great performances in NHL history in Game 6 against Washington two weeks ago, stopping 53 of 54 shots."

Sorry to go off-topic
Any Pittsburghers out there listen to the 100.7 morning show with Jr, Bubba and Shelley? I’m trying to find out if these people are in any way cool or if they and their audience are just complete tools. Thanks.

Pens 4-2 Staal
Nice of Letang to score first when I wasn’t able to post, I’ve called his number a few times for this contest. Now that’s he’s got his tally out of the way, let’s spin the wheel with Staal again.
And since picking the Canadiens as a reverse jinx didn’t work out so well in game 4, allow me to rejoin the masses.

Pens- 4-0- Crosby
He’s due and the ravaged Canadiens d does not get it done

Penguins -- 3-1 -- Letestu
Here’s to hoping there aren’t any lineup changes for tonight because I really like letestu’s play lately. Gonna keep picking him until he scores it or is taken out of the lineup (hope never)
