ECF: (4) Montreal Canadiens vs (5) New York Rangers

[asian player]

Rangers are finally gonna play against a team with real passion

[Kakanucks]

go habs!!

rangers been just relying on lundqvist going beast mode

[infinitecarnage]

two teams that would normally face each other in the first round are both in the conference final. talk about a dramatic rule change...

fck the city of baseball, habs all the way

[GRACO]

SO HAPPY that the Rangers won - GO Vineault. I will bet the Canucks are really sorry they fired you. Hey how did the most volatile coach in the NHL work out?

Does anybody know whether there is any truth to the rumour that your fired coach broke into the Flames locker room at intermission and punched out the Calgary coach? This was after a brawl on the ice. Also has a new coach been named?

this part never happened, but yes Torts tried to get into their locker room during intermission

[Otis]

Someone will win in 7

Gold Medal Rematch with Price vs. King Henrik, Go Habs!

Sorry Rangers winning their first cup 20 years after winning their last one, the Canucks fan in my wishes it was Vancouver in the other side

[Xbox]

Why do you continue to cheer for the team you know is going to lose?

I just don't like Montreal so I cheer against them. The team I want to win the cup is Anaheim because I want Selanne to go out with a bang.

[swflyers28]

Hard to say, these teams are like mirror images of each other. Great goaltending, great depth and a good defense, definitely see this going 7.

[Nuxfanabroad]

Habs in six.

Woo, Boston is toast!

My call too. NYR might have a deeper D; but none can equal Subban's quality. Should be a great series.

[Nuxfanabroad]

Anyone remember the Habs bouncing the Rags back in '86? Roy as a rookie, took down the 'Beezer.

Bobby Smith, Mike McPhee, Gainey, Skrudland, Richer, Kordic/Nilan? & Claude Lemieux up front.

Chelios, Robinson, Rick Green, Ludwig, et al. ground their opponents to dust.

[Neko]

This will be hard to predict, both teams spread the offense out to multiple players instead of just heavily using 1 line (I'm looking at you Pittsburgh) and both teams has top notch goaltending- I can't wait to see Price vs the King.

I do predict that Weise will be a very valuable asset in the series like he was in the last series.

[Bissurnette]

Habs in 6

[Ghostsof1915]

Habs in 6. But I will not be surprised if it goes to 7. They seem pretty evenly matched.

I think Pierre got super excited from this.

[gmen81]

Anyone know if Galchenyuk is healthy yet? When he was first injured they said he would be out for round 1. Do you think it's a case of if it ain't broke don't fix it?

[Bure1994Mclean]

Canadiens in 6. There's just something special about this Canadiens team, like it's now their turn to take a run a the cup, as the Canucks, Flames, Oilers, Sens, etc. did over the previous past decade or so.

[Tearloch7]

Habs in 6 if they stay healthy ..

Can't wait to listen to Healy fawn all over the Rangers. He's my favourite
