I can hear the Freddy chants all the way from Monday!

Habs win this and the Canes will be in their heads about their conference ghosts. This win would be huge!

This is what they got. And we can match this.

Fresh ice PP's never work. 🤞🤞🤞

That was 100% planned. Hit Lane and wait for contact and go down like you were shot. They know anything towards Lane is going to get a response. Tampa level playoff hockey.

Nick is such a nice young man - even helps the officials do their job with the hand pass call!

Anderson extension coming July 1. Funny how times change!

News flash - they scouted our PP entries. We need a plan B. Adapt or die.

That's a dirty play Stank. I like the PP but some plays deserve a punch in the face to correct behavior like that.

Why does it seem like the fan noises are canned like a 1960's sitcom? It's like someone is pressing a button every time the Canes have the puck.

Lol - score first and see what happens!

All of a sudden the whole pregame is about the Habs! 🤔🤔🤔 Wonder what changed?!

Aho thinking back to potentially being a Hab...

At least that PP killed 2 minutes.

Take the puck away from Doby so you can ice it?? Why not just let him cover it so you can change?? Wtf?

Has "ref u suck" ever made the refs suck less?

Best goalie in the playoffs?

We needed that - get it out of the way and turn on the fire.

I think Nick is gonna see a lot of Slavin. One of the best defensive D in the league so I don't think the top line carries the load again. Just try to break even with the top 6 and win it with specialty teams and the 3rd and 4th line match-ups.

SN spending lots of time on the Canes to accommodate all the Leafs fans hate watching the Habs cup run...only explanation. It can't be to accommodate the millions of Canes fans watching the pregame! 🙄

Game 6 is at home on May 31. I seem to recall the Habs beating the Leafs in an important game on May 31 a few years ago! So I'm picking the Habs to take this one in 6 and win at home on my Birthday! 🤞

Josh Anderson doing the Glenn Anderson!

Hutson is a hockey genius!

Old man yelling at the cloud again... I really don't like this whole crash test dummy degradation of the Habs jersey thing they do in their tailgating. Just so disrespectful. No sir - don't like it. Wouldn't like it if we were doing it to theirs. Respect your oponent.

Kappy in! Love it!

Not gonna lie, I'll be disappointed if they lose tonight. Amazing season and so many strides forward. We were prepared for and won a hard fought series against Tampa. What you expect from playoffs. I'll be disappointed if we lose to Buffalo because it feels more like pre-season hockey than playoffs!

Personally I think Veleno should Malenstine UPL right about now. He's coming out for Gally next game anyway.

Pile it on... I want this team absolutely pissed at this performance.

7-3 and they send out their top PP. Duly noted.

Sigh...

This was pretty predictable. They haven't been great at home and this team needs to be behind the 8 ball to play their best. Will be a totally different team on the road in a do or die game.

What slash was this?

Wow people refuckinglax already. Is this your first Habs game this year?? This is far from over and even if it was, this game wasn't a must win for us.

Tied or down by 1 to start the 3rd would be ideal.

Until they only call an embellishment penalty it won't curb the embellishment. Best case you draw a penalty, worst case it's even strength. Nothing to lose. They need to give 2 for embellishment and a 10 minute unsportsmanlike if they want to deter diving.

Habs doing a decent job of killing off that 4 on 4...

Who is the Buffalo ebug? Asking for a friend...

Doby getting his money's worth! Atta boy!

Lyon

Right where we want them...

Free game for us. Enjoy and know that no matter what happens we will win it Monday if we have to. Maybe this team needs another game 7 to prepare for things to come? 🤷. Or maybe we just getter done...

Just watching the last game in 30 and every time CC announces a Habs goal you can feel the "fuuuck" in his heart during that little pause before he says "scores"!

I think this might win the Internet today...

Fun story - bought a new place, address changes, new passport blah blah blah. Long story short I get to commemorate my Habs playoff facial growth for the next 10 years when I travel and anytime I need to prove just how old I am! 🙄😂

CP31 seeing the Habs score 21 goals in 5 playoff games...

Wouldn't be a bad time for someone to provide some payback to Benson right about now...

For all o y'all that were in a panic in the first period... Are you new to this team?! Shame on you!

Sabres finally looking like the wagon they were in the regular season. Got to weather the rest of this period and come out strong in the 2nd.

Don't say it.
