I reeaaally wish the sabres will lose tonight. Then maybe for once I'll watch tomorrow's game with a more laid back attitude , just before habs go full heart attack mode in the playoffs .
On a side note, is this smiley specifically designed to represent our beloved coach?
A) They play the system
B) They go to google image and type "Jacques Martin smiling"
C) They realize it's his clone, and decide to play the system and win the game so they can get back the real Martin, because this smiling clone creeps the hell out of them.
For a long while I was hoping for 6th, and very likely the Booins. Because no way I wanted Philly or Caps first round.
I also thought there was no way Sh-tsburgh would take out Philly, so I didn't even consider them in round 1.
Now I'm wavering. Philly looks kinda crap without Prolonger, and their goal tending is a question mark. But Prolonger might be back, the giant knob that he is.
Sh-tsburgh? Maybe no Crosby and Malkin, and a nervous Fluery. They'll want revenge though, big time. And Crosby might return.
So my list in order of preference is still:
Booins
Sh-tsburgh
Philly
Let's assume Crapington finishes no 1. No way we finish 8th, so there's that problem out of the way.
Problem is, with the flux in the top 4, if we finish no. 6, in theory we could play any of Philly, Pitts or Booins.
I we finish number 7, same thing I think.
Correct me if I'm wrong by the way.
So what to do?
Answer: Habs must know which of the 3 would be the best draw. I don't . But they're the pros.
Therefore Habs should watch the Buff and Pitts games at the Hotel tomorrow night, and not drink too much of possible just in case, and see what happens with Buff, Philly and Pitts.
Then, knowing which team they want to play, if a loss is required, tank it agaist Laffs, while sitting Subby, Price and anyone else possible, or, if a win is required slap Carey and Subby in and torch the leafs.
I hope it's the tank option, because if there's a key injury against Laffs due to the fact that we had to try, and play our guns, I'll ritually disembowel myself at my desk on Monday. And you tube it.
Not the way I would like to make the playoffs. Go out there and play the last game like a playoff game so no bad habits are formed.
C) They realize it's his clone, and decide to play the system and win the game so they can get back the real Martin, because this smiling clone creeps the hell out of them.
There is a rumor that clone martin is here since day one, and has to work really hard not to smile so nobody notices. Apparently, real martin is enjoying the sun in all seriousness somewhere in florida.

BG looks like he has been pounding back drinks of rye all day long.
I wish Auld would play, that way we can let TO win and not put up much of a fight, avoid getting injured, and make their selection worst. But no, Carey is in nets. THIS. IS. HABLAND.
He will get 2A in a garbage time in a losing effort and all summer we will hear how the Leafs don't even need Richards and how Colbourne will be given the calder in October.
leafs still haven't made the playoffs since the lockout
Can you imagine if the habs ever go through a drought like that? Its really incredible.
The Habs franchise sort of did.
From 1998-99 to 2006-07, the Habs missed the playoffs five times out of eight. Not as bad as the Maple Leafs (and Panthers) drought, but still bad nonetheless.
