I haven't been able to watch game 2 but damn i was so hype on game 3 for the fact that playoffs' atmosphere in Montreal is simply awesome ! I was watching the pre-game on Hockey Night in Canada, did you ever realize that both the in-game and the crowd sounds create a better atmosphere then it does on RDS ?, and i could felt the emotion floating in the air at the bell center in my flesh... i had goose flesh (?, chair-de-poule)... it was awesome, ****ing awesome... anyway i couldn't wait for the puck to be dropped.
The first goal by Kovy looked too easy, but damn it was such a nice feeling to see the habs taking the lead and Kovy finaly ''get the monley of his back''....
The game was awesome (god damn i love this word...) and i'd like to give props to a couple of habs player who, in my books, have been the best out there in yesterday's game !
First of all, Saku... Mr. Captain did played one of his best game of the year. He was everywhere and solid on his skates... also he was always in movement and he definetly outcalss the big Bs with his speed ! I think that he deserves as much credit as Kovy is receiving for this win... Saku did impress me !
Also, i'd like to give a honourable mention to Jason Ward, the kid was everywhere on the ice delivering good body checks and keeping the crowd to their feets screaming for their team... Dowd and Begin also played well, and Juneau also did in my books, but Ward was better all around and did contribute in a huge way to this win... keep it up Jason, you deserve your spot on the third for sure ! Coach Julien knows it anyway... he's a smart coach.
Markov ! Wow, he's getting back to his 2002 shape... his game is elevating a lot, he's one of the best guy in the league to read the play and pinch at the right time... i love this guy in his own zone and on the attack but damn his play in the neutral zone is first class material... good job. He played well and his effort has been reward with a goal winning goal ! With a Souray not at the top of his game, Markov playing like he's actually doing he's a very important thing for the habs D !
Kovy... finaly ! That's a huge satisfaction for the fans and especially for Kovy i'm pretty sure... coming into this game with the crowd being nuts and scoring two big goals, both giving the lead to your team is huge ! That will, without a doubt, release the pressure of his back and of Ryder's and Zednik's backs... Kovy did struggle in his own end at one time in the game but thank god it hasn't been fatal, the Bs didn't manage to score... for the rest of the game he did played solid and as long as our top line is going to be able to stay out of our own zone and in the Bs' territory everything's gonna be all right... if Zednik capatalize from his chances this line will dominate the Bs, outclass them definetly... can't wait to see Zednik understand that Raycroft is always on his knees and that THE SOLUTION is to shoot on the top corners.... anyway i pretty sure the coaching staff did notice it and now that we've find the answer to Raycroft our team will score a lot more.
Ryder ? lol Keep it up, you'll end up scoring like you did in the season if you keep creating chances like you've done in game 3 ! He did test Raycroft... now it's time to open the machine and score goals ! I'm not anxous about him anyway, he's a pure scorer, he got the magic touch !
Now I can't wait for Game 4 ! Montreal's fans are the best... keep it going guys, we have the best 6th man in the league... let's show our team that we beleive in our succes... GO HABS GO ! Can't wait to Game 6, i got tickets and ill make sure this crowd's gonna be nuts... i'm proud to scream loud that i'm a habs fan !
Jason Ward has been awsome, i completely agree. This guys has elevated his game. He is trying to hit everything out there. He is the perfect right wing third liner for our organization for the future. A hard working, gritty, good defensive player. His attitude is also great, never, ever, ever, complains of where he plays. Just works harder and harder. I love that!
Has anybody else noticed the improved skating in Wards game?
As for everything else you said, i agree(although i just skimed through what you read- im too lazy today)

True that, it's nice to see habs' fans giving Ward the credit he deserves... i'm sure everybody on this board agree that Ward is a very good third liner...
I forgot someone... Brisebois... i think he's playing very well since the beginning of the series... in what i've seen so far he's one of our best d-man, along with Markov... Michel Blanchard won't agree with me but he can go to hell, i hate this guy anyway... Brisebois is stepping up for his teammates (he made a very nice slash in the final minute of yesterday's game) and he's elevating his physical play a bit now... he deserves credits... he's a hab for more then 10 years now, it's rare to see a player with such dedication for his team nowadays !
Did you notice that Bulis has a lot of courage ? When Begin was fighting with a couple of Bruins' players in yesterday's game behing Raycroft's net, Bulis came to his rescue and push a couple of Bs... awesome, this guy is ! I'm very hype on our third line... Dowd Bulis and Ward are 3 hardworkers, proud, not scare and good skaters (Bulis definetly, Dowd is a good skater, not as fast as others but a good skater, and Ward has improved a lot like you said Mooch)
