2004 NHL Playoffs

Game 2
Montreal 1 Boston 2 (overtime)

well. okay. so the final result is Montreal lost another one. yes.
but. and it's a big fucking but. they actually showed up at this game. i saw the second and third period and damn if they weren't tying up Boston in their own zone most of the time. i was impressed. they even kept the Boston shots at 2 in the second period! nice game. sad result.

but this game will have given the players a lot of confidence. Julien has to drill them about the way they played. they played very well, from what i saw. the confidence wasn't there before, but now they know they can score on Raycroft and they know they can keep the play flowing in the offensive zone. and they also know, now, how to stop Boston from making plays into our zone. nice.

it's getting damn close to golf season for the Habs. please win the next two in Montreal.
and hopefully the fans who are going to the Bell Centre sunday and tuesday will be behind the team. this will be crucial. i think they'll deliver and support our team, though, because these are the playoffs.
