I know what you mean. It's the same in QC.....I think it's the same almost everywhere but here in QC I've got the impression it's like this all year long...
Not really worry about that. Halak been horrible in a game against WSH and been pull, the two games following that one he make like 40 + saves per game and wins all of them.....
Ville Leino has gotten a lot of icetime tonight. Funny how little time he saw during the regular season and how many times he was a healthy scratch compared to how valuable he has been in the postseason.

He was just abysmal during the regular season. Detroit was full of injuries and he had a chance to move up and failed at every pass and then was shipped off for Ole-Kristian Tollefsen (a #7 defenseman) and a 5th round pick...at the time, it was without contention that the 5th round pick was the most valuable piece in the deal. All of a sudden, injuries strike again and Leino steps up his game and actually looks like an NHLer. Strange how that works, but if it works it works...
He has been dynamite relative to expectations in the postseason...
IT has not looked good for Montreal since it was announced they had to play Washington....then when they had to play Pittsburgh...whup de doo some 3rd liner and some guy who scores a bit are coming back. Wow. Montreal beat the two best players in the league, don't think a Carter or A Laperriere will hurt em that much.
It's still 2 big guys in the team, flyers are big, really big compare to MTL, PITT and WSH were not that big ( still everyone is bigger than MTL ) but Flyers are rougher than both of this team and they can beat the Habs with that easily if they don't wake up fast enough.
Laperriere is one hell of a hard working guy and I think it really make a big difference. If the Habs wouldn't have some hard working guy they will play golf since along time.....I know he's not as much talented as Halak, Gionta or Camma but still he can make usefull turnarounds.
