LOL. I was laughing big time when I read this thread. I feel the same way!!! Gosh, like someone said, it's the way they lose! We dominate but can't find a way to win!
Neway can't wait for game 5. I'll be at the Bell Centre cheering like an animal!! GO HABS GO! BELIEVE!
I start calling them bums, a no good team of hacks, bunch of losers. Call out each player and find a fault. Then I sulk for a half hour, don't want to talk to anyone. But afterwards I calm down and realize they are still in it.

Tell me about it, I work night shift and have to leave at around 10:20PM. Let's just say yesterday was a toughest day to leave to go work. I did not work very hard or well, my heart was just not there.
Oh yeah, the way we are losing right now just sucks major balls.
I seriously just want a win, or want it to be over. Listening to Bob Coles annoying ****ing voice call another Flyers goal will probably send me over the edge.
These playoffs have been so frustrating, and when the Habs didn't make the playoffs I always wished we could be in these types of situtations. And now we are, and it sucks.
These playoffs have really been taking their toll on me as far as stress level at an all time high the next day or two after a loss. I have been edgy and moody and really not a nice person all playoffs. The problem is I can't shake the bad mood away. I want to be able to get my frustration out the night of a loss, and wake up happy and optimistic, but I just end up waking up cranky and moody and pissed off about the loss. I can't stop thinking about how we should have won, and if anyone teases and jokes around about the Habs I snap, even though I know it is all in fun. On the other hand when the Habs win my life couldn't be better and I couldn't be happier, it is like my attitude all depends on the Habs. I always knew I was obsessed, but this is getting a bit much. Does anyone else have this problem, or I am I a bit crazy?
LOL, I'm the same way. I'll be in a rage after a loss (only in the last 3 games) for a half hour. Than I'm pretty much in a bad mood until close to the end of the working day the day after. I was much better with handling a loss during the regular season though, my bad mood would only last for that night.
I'm the same way. My roomate had to restrain me from throwing things at the TV last night and got tired of hearing me yell. My gf didn't even bother calling me last night after the game because she knows how upset I've been getting after losses.
The funny part, is rather than just look away, and not think about it for the next two days, I keep coming on this board or the rds/tsn sites to read more crap about the game(s) and get more angry. I must like pain or something.
Yeah, these playoffs have been nothing quite like others. I think its perhaps because we have gotten used to winning so much during the year that we can't stand anything less than perfection now. That and those f-ing refs.....and our players not being able to bury their chances....and not having clutch goaltending......
Who feels like walking/joining me to some nuthouse?
The only thing that perplexes me about this series is the Habs aren't finishing in the offensive zone. They set up nice in the zone, get the goalie out of position, and ring it off the post or miss the open net completely. This is not to take credit away from Biron, who has made some spectacular saves in this series, it is that the Habs aren't finishing like they did during the regular season. Maybe a case of nerves. They have scored 1 goal in the 1st period after 5 games. I would guess the 2nd period total is none to good either.
I do not think that going hard to the net looking for the opportunistic rebound is going to solve the scoring problem. Too much luck involved in that game, and yes, I know that the Flyers are winning because of this, but only because the Habs are not finishing.

I usually do okay, but the moment Philly scored on that "interference" call, my mood went south...I couldn't sleep, and today I have been very sour and negative
I too felt bad for quite a while after last nights loss. First angry then sad. It lasted till I went to sleep at about midnight. During those hours of feeling bad I looked at my thoughts to see what was triggering my ...feeling bad. I noticed several thoughts that were the triggers of my feelings.
The following thoughts triggered my feelings of angry and sadness.
1. The Habs outplayed them. They should not have lost...again.
2. The Habs are the better team.
3. The Habs should score the first goal.
4. Three games in a row we outplay them and still lose.
5. The flyers seem to have all the luck in the last 3 games.
In all these cases my mind resisted..reality being different than what my mind thought should be the outcome of the moments ..called...last nights game.
The truth is we lost. The Flyers won. After many hours of using awareness to see what my mind was doing to me I realized that in order to feel good again, I needed to drop the past...be in the moment. And realize that reality has no obligation to match my beliefs.
Resting in this awareness I fell asleep. This morning I woke up feeling good again.
Perhaps bringing your awareness to what your beliefs are that are not coming true will help you let go of the feelings that are triggered by those thoughts about the game that are floating thru your own mind.
It has surely been a rollercoaster ride this playoffs for us Habs fans. The high of winning the 7th game against the Bruins to the low of the last three games.
Its our attachment to a certain outcome in a moment that creates the emotional pain. Not the event itself. The moment we let go of our attachment to a certain outcome in a given moment the emotional pain disappears.

This pretty much sums up my situation. It's largely disappointment and frustration. Although in reference to number 5, and in fairness to the Flyers team, their skill and determination is directly resulting in said luck. Our "never-say-die" effort is keeping us in games, but our skill is sadly letting us down. THAT's my beef.
I'd like to see an end to stupid deeks on breakaways. Shoot the bloody puck. And enough fancy stuff. Shoot the puck. And stop the dump ins for the sake of dump ins. Carry the puck in, and put it in the corner if you have to. Atleast then there might be atleast one other guy in the zone to help forecheck or produce some chances.
I'm proud to say that my students have yet to feel the wrath of my anger and frustration, but if we lose this series and I have to deal with the internet wit geek (read: keyboard cowboy) Sens fans and the rediculous Bruins fans... well...
