Five questions heading into Game 4.

Here are five questions, and my answers, concerning the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens as they head into tomorrow night’s Game 4 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series at Bell Centre.
1. Does Montreal have a better game than the one it displayed in Game 3?
The short answer: no. The longer answer (of course) is that the Habs’ best effort of the series produced the same result as the first two games — a defeat. Now that they’re down 0-3, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to muster enough energy for …

HabsCast [4-05] The Impeachment of Latendresse

 

AudioPlayer.embed(”pod_audio_1″, {soundFile: “http%3A%2F%2Fhabscast.com%2Fpodcast%2Fdata%2FS4E05.mp3″});

When we started this program our most popular episode was title “Vote Latendresse for President.” Four years later it’s time to end his administration as he was shipped off to Minnesota where maybe he can aspire to be governor… who am I kidding he’s no Jesse Ventura. This team is more banged up then a car from Canada’s worst driver. We’re hanging on by the skin of our teeth till Markov, Gionta and even Gill come back. Add us on facebook and keep the …

HabsCast [4-04] Czech Sausage

Apparently that’s what they call a saucer pass in the Czech Republic. When I visited there the only thing they knew about hockey was that Jagr was great. All I can say is what a difference a week makes. 5 loses in a row followed by 4 wins in a row. Halak has single handedly evened out the Habs record but I have a feeling we’ll see Price again. Prized free agent Mike Cammellari final got his offensive game going and all in all …

The trip out west didn’t exactly go according to plan. Price finally got the start he deserved in the garage (GM Place) but les boys left him out to dry. After seven games the Habs have only managed to collect 4 points. Is it time to panic? Take a listen and find out. Please keep the emails coming habscast@gmail.com Word and Much luv.

So we finally got to see Gainey’s new boys on the ice and frankly there was nothing not to like about the score … we won. It’s going to be a hard road to the playoffs so we got to get the points early. Lets make a trade for a couple more Saskatchewan boys then we’re pretty much guarantied the Cup. Keep the e-mails coming habscast@gmail.com and follow me on twitter Wango Bango. Word and Much Luv.

It was quick but it wasn’t painless. The Bruins ripped through the Habs in four straight. We are going to avoid ripping the Canadiens to shreds but don’t worry they’ll get theirs from the HabsCast crew. Find out who did better in their first round predictions and we’ll give you another sets of predictions for the following round. Thanks to all the listeners for your support this season … we are not sure if this is going to be the last program but don’t …

RJ Umberger, meet Brad Stuart.

Check of the series so far (would be hit of the playoffs were it not for this one):

With that and this hit, it’s amazing Umberger can still play.

Bruins-Canadiens: Game 4 - The better team won

“Let’s play. We want to play. We got another game. We earned our chance to play today.”
Those were the words of Bob Gainey prior to the game said as if to emphasize that despite being down 3-0 in the series, that the Canadiens intended to give their best effort. Perhaps it was also a reminder that there are a number of teams who would have be glad to be in the playoffs who didn’t make it.
The game couldn’t have started any better for the Canadiens. Only 39 seconds into the …

Sleeping giants awakened in Calgary.

It wasn’t easy, but the Flames edged Chicago in a classic western shootout to knot the series at 2 apiece. Calgary’s 6-4 win came with a price, though, as it appeared that Daymond Langkow and Craig Conroy may have suffered significant injuries.
Before I go any further, I must address the newest controversy in this crazy postseason! On Eric Nystrom’s game-winner, the Flames committed a hand pass just moments before the deciding goal. It was very subtle, but as Langkow batted the puck down from out of the air, Nystrom tipped… …

Lucic mostly takes the high road.

We’ll never know how Mike Komisarek would’ve handled the post-series handshake after the Boston Bruins completed a four-game sweep tonight in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals at Bell Centre because the Montreal Canadiens defenseman was sent to the showers early with a game misconduct for cross checking Bruins winger Milan Lucic with 7:21 left in the contest.
We do know that Lucic had no problem, after a hard-fought series and a 4-1 Boston Game 4 win, skating through the handshake without incident, unless you count the bear hug he got from former …
