I'm surprised you're still around, considering you usually go into hiding once Detroit gets knocked out of the playoffs. :D

Totally incorrect as usual. I NEVER go into hiding - unlike the Leaf fans on this board who disappear every year as soon as the Leafs "qualify" for their annual EARLY golf holiday. In fact this year MERB's Leaflovers vanished even earlier than usual - very shortly after Randy was canned and the pathetic collapse began.

BTW, in order to be knocked out of the playoffs, you first have to MAKE the playoffs, which Detroit has done for 24 consecutive seasons...as opposed to Toronto, which has made the playoffs a laughable ONE time in over a decade (and of course that SINGLE time was in a shortened season and the result was the most gutless and EPIC COLLAPSE in the entire history of game sevens as the sad sack Leafs crumbled against Boston. Then again, what can you expect from the absolute worst franchise in all of professional sports?)

Just to prove in a comical way that my hunches are rarely wrong....didn't you know this? :lol:

Like your "hunch" last year that the Wings would miss the playoffs for the next 5 years? So far you're 0 for 2 on that one.

Like your "hunch" that the Yankees would finish last, last year? Like your "hunch" earlier THIS year that the Yankees would finish last (now changed to the Sox finishing last)?

Like your "hunch" that Ottawa would beat Montreal in the first round of the playoffs this year?

Like your "hunch" at the start of EVERY season that the Leafs will do well?

Like your "hunch" that Carey Price would bomb out as Canada's goalie at the last Olympics?

Wolfie, Wolfie, Wolfie.....what can i say? I just like to play around with gullible people such as yourself once in a while, and make a friendly wager with other merbites that i can get people such as you to bite on anything i may happen to post. Just to prove in a comical way that my hunches are rarely wrong....didn't you know this? :lol:

If by gullible, you mean someone who's not two-faced and full of shit all the time... then yes, I guess I'm gullible. :D As far as I'm concerned, your posts are public evidence of... well, you. You like taking farts in the face, you love the Biebs, you love the Leafs (hahaha... ouch, not sure which is worse...), you live in Texas (seriously, you're going to talk about Michigan?? :confused: Talk about a shit-astic state, TEXAS???, you talk shit about the Patriots and then make bets on them winning, etc.) Do you ever talk straight out of your mouth? :p :lol:

Your humor is... not that humorous... just a little sad. :(

There's a reason he got fired from Pitsburgh !
He can't organize a proper power play can't keep his team calm or find proper plays to score !
We could blame PK or prust but that was only 2-1 the rest it's the work of the coach !

Holy crap, what the hell is wrong with Subban?!?! Such elite skills, yet he makes soooooooo many boneheaded decisions. That stupid penalty changed the entire tone of the game. The Habs have collapsed, this game is over. But not the series. The Canadiens have the players and system to beat the Bolts. WTF happened?

Series isn't over. As Detroit showed, Tampa can be beaten at home. Players just need to stay the fuck away from Tampa's superior strip clubs!!! :D

I think you're giving Subban a free pass. Therrien isn't the best coach, but, as a leader and the best player on the team, Subban has to set a better example. Gilbert also made a knucklehead play on his penalty. Too many stupid penalties.

BOYZZZ!

How strange for such a classy and together guy like Subban. A boneheaded move that changed the tone of the game. That's never happened with him before. :lol: The guy is a jerk, and stupid not to control his bad habits when it could cost the season. Really Habs fans, this is the real him. Too bad. Could be he's a hockey talented head case...a very bad combination.

:noidea:

Fair point, Iggy. I'm familiar with both cities, as well. In fact, I was just in Dallas last week. If you compare downtown Detroit to downtown Dallas, it's no comparison. I concede that point.

So I'll make the distinction - Red Wings fans... are not downtown. They're all in the 'burbs. If you compare metro Detroit to metro anywhere, it's a very favorable comparison. Metro Detroit has a lot of wealth. With the HQ of 2 major US auto companies, arguably 3, all their major suppliers, and a world-class research university nearby, it's a natural result. Cities like Bloomfield Hills (consistently among the top 10 cities in the country in per capita income), Bloomfield, Rochester Hills, Troy, Novi, Farmington Hills, etc. can go head-to-head with any city's suburbs, and compare very favorably with Parker, Highland Park, University Park, Coppell, Plano, etc surrounding Dallas. Then, you have a city like Ann Arbor, which is as good it gets in the Midwest for culture and 'hippiness', if you're into all things liberal... errr, communist... errr, liberal. :lol:

(Compared to the University of Michigan, Texas A&M and University of Texas are jokes, too. :D But I may be biased... :D) I would have to be paid a shitload of money to ever consider moving to Texas. And I probably still wouldn't.

BOYZ!

(Compared to the University of Michigan,...

What all-world Super Bowl Champion quarterback went to that hallowed university. :D Yes, they produce top notch quality. I've got very old family connections to southern Michigan and northern Ohio.

Texas is for big hats, scorpions, and quarterbacks with chronic choking issues.

Well....... maybe next year? Habs are pretty much done.

Sure looks like it - it's now 7 straight losses to the Bolts (5 in the season, 2 in the playoffs).

Now the Habs are down 2-0 in the series and heading to Lightning turf...and the Lightning had the best home record in the NHL during the season.

We all knew Tampa Bay was a really good team with a great GM and so far they're proving it by beating a good Wings team in 7 in round 1 and now looking in round 2 like they'll be beating a Montreal team that had a very successful regular season.

The funny thing is that although Tampa beat the Wings on the scoreboard in game 7, all the other stats made it look like the Wings actually outperformed them (but Bishop was too good). Something similar happened in tonight's 6-2 drubbing of the Habs, as the Habs dominated statistically in all key categories: Montreal had more shots, more hits, more faceoff wins, more takeaways and fewer giveaways. Unfortunately for the Habs they also had more penalties...and the Lightning PP was clicking. Probably the scariest thing for Montreal however is that Steven Stamkos has finally woken up and Ben Bishop is playing solidly.

the result was the most gutless and EPIC COLLAPSE in the entire history of game sevens as the sad sack Leafs crumbled against Boston.

I suppose that you have nothing relevant to say AS USUAL (in an unofficial poll among merbites at a gathering last summer, you were voted as the most irrelevant merbite currently on the board), so you have to keep bring back stuff that happened two years ago instead of admitting that the team you cheer for sucks.

Sure, the Leafs collapsed two years ago in their final game against Boston, but they did show character by coming back from two games down. Had the Leafs held on to their lead in that final game, we'd be talking about the Bruins' collapse today. Speaking of the Bruins, their total collapse against Chicago in the final was also epic if you ask me.

As speaking of epic collapses, let me point out to the Red Wings' own collapse in game 4 against Tampa. They were leading by 2 goals with less than 6 minutes to pay and choked! Tampa scored two quick goals and then beat them in overtime in order to tie their series. Had Detroit not totally collapsed, they would have led the series 3-1. No wonder Mike Babcock is jumping ship! :lol:

Well....... maybe next year? Habs are pretty much done.

No kidding. They were lucky to even beat Ottawa. Had Ottawa started Anderson from the start, they probably would have won in 5 games. Ottawa also didn't get the bounces in their series. Hammond couldn't stop a beach ball, Subban nearly took Stone out of the playoffs by breaking his wrist, a lucky goal in ot against Anderson in game 3, and that disallowed goal in their final game due to a very quick whistle.

But i've been saying for months that the habs wouldn't have made the playoffs with an average goalie. Carey Price's brilliance saved their season & made Therrien look like a genius all season long. The team has struggled scoring goals all season long & nothing's changed in the playoffs. Same thing with their lousy powerplay.

Bergevin needed to address this prior to the trade deadline and did not. He picked up a decent offensive defenceman in Petry, but also picked up 3 third and fourth liners in Smith-Pelley, Mitchell & Flynn, who in turn replaced 3rd & 4th liners, including one of the league's top faceoff men in Manny Malhotra, who is a leader in a leaderless room and happens to be one of the most popular and respected players on the team.

So the habs had their hopes pinned on hoping that Lars Eller would wake up during the playoffs, and the 3rd and 4th liners would support their two top lines. They also hoped that the powerplay would also suddenly wake up, and that Carey Price would continue winning games all by himself. However, this isn't what happened. The top two lines have been rather invisible other than the Gallagher's continuous attempts to rattle the opposing goalie. But if you're on a top 2 line, you also need to score goals, which hasn't happened much. Galchenyuk hasn't done anything either and now looks like a total bust. Don't be too surprised if he's dealt during the offseason, possibly to Edmonton. The top scorers on the team have been the likes of Wiese, Flynn & a couple of defencemen not named Subban. So that pretty much explains it. On defence, Markov has been a no-show throughout the playoffs and i expected it. You can't expect a 37 year old defenceman to play big minutes during an entire season and then expect him to be fresh for the playoffs. He's not only exhausted, but he's showing his age.

Subban hasn't been bad....actually, he's probably the only player on that team that comes to play every night and gives it his all. But he's considered an offensive defenceman and being paid $9 million per. So if he's on one of the worst offensive teams in the entire league and the powerplay has reached catastrophic levels, let me ask you: WHAT DOES P.K. SUBBAN BRING TO THE TEAM?

A popular Mtl talk radio show host pointed out this morning that the habs don't have a captain, but four alternates: Subban, Pacioretty, Markov & Plekanek. He mentionned that two out of these four are notorious poor playoff performers. He mentionned that PK has given his all and that he was giving Pacioretty a pass because suffering a concussion is one of the most catastrophic injuries any athlete can suffer. Plus he suffered his last concussion just before the playoffs. I now what the host was referring to. Not only are Markov & Plekanek historically invisible during the playoffs, but what in the hell was the organization thinking when they named these two robots as alternate captains? These guys barely say a word, don't have much leadership qualities and don't want to be.

One final thing.....

Believe it or not, but the local soccer team has outscored the hockey team.

In their last 6 games, the habs have scored 7 goals while the Montreal Impact has scored 10 goals against world-class opponents. That says it all!
