Anyone see Ference's celebration after scoring that goal?

Posted: **Fri Apr 22, 2011 1:59 am**

That's not very nice and smart from him.

Posted: **Fri Apr 22, 2011 2:01 am**

Pretty dumb if you ask me. I wonder what must have provoked him to do it?

Posted: **Fri Apr 22, 2011 2:02 am**

Just the fact that he tied the game maybe.

Oh and I never saw that shot from Subban!

Posted: **Fri Apr 22, 2011 2:05 am**

It could be down to his emotions, as this is a massive game that's for sure. Goal came from a sloppy and needless penalty though

EDIT: deleted new post to avoid double posting. A silly penalty to give away and so late on, so not what we needed right now.

darn OT!! I'm working tomorrow I can't watch it for too long they need to finish this quick.

Posted: **Fri Apr 22, 2011 2:46 am**

I've already been whined at from the misses when I said what time I'd be in bed. Plus I'm off to Cricket tomorrow so need this to end soon for some shuteye

Posted: **Fri Apr 22, 2011 3:04 am**

Andrew Ference on his goal celebration: http://video.canadiens.nhl.com/videocen ... &id=110396
Looks like he regrets it.

I LOVED it. WTG Andy

I love the "I didn't mean to" explanation. Sure you didn't Andy

Any reason why Lucic was scratched once again ?

batdad wrote:Dude--The moving Phoenix story did not just come out. I know you know that. This is not a story that should have made any difference at all to the players. It is a lame ass excuse for losing to a better team. The players have had the Winnipeg stuff in the back of their heads for some time now. In fact, the players and coaches were given EXTRA credit for doing so well last season because of the story. Tippett partially won coach of the year for it.

The boys in Phoenix have been listening to this Winnipeg story for 2 plus years now. So any whining about it should be nipped in the bud. Many guys still signed deals with Phoenix even after knowing it was a possibility, and perhaps even a probability Winterpeg was going to happen.

And Shane Doan? Sorry...not feeling sorry for him. He could have asked out at any time in the last 15 years and has not. Back to Winterpeg with ya Shane. And I hope your family enjoys it. You only have 1 or 2 more years left anyway. Too bad you built a house. But you started building it AFTER the rumours started about the move and AFTER the ownership problem began. No whining about that bud.

I'm not saying that general rumors of them moving are new. There was just a new rumor and from what I heard, it seemed to have more weight this time.

Ference is saying his glove was stuck. He wasn't trying to do that. I would have loved it if he did though. Honestly, we need a little of that bad attitude on this team.

I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic about Looch. I'm guessing you are. He's been invisible and Krejci and Horton haven't been much different.

What's up with Ryder? He must've caught wind of all of the "Scratch Ryder!" talk in Boston lately. Everyone was wanting him scratched because he wasn't doing anything and we all figured that it would be better if Seguin got that ice time. Then Ryder goes and has a game like this! I swear, he's got to feel threatened for him to play well. Leading up to the trade deadline, Ryder got hot. As soon as the trade deadline passed, he went stone cold again. Now after game 3 everyone says he should sit because he's useless and then he goes and plays the game hero. Somebody needs to be all over him all the time to keep him motivated.

Well nothing new from Ryder there.
As for Lucic, he has been abysmal. If he's hurt or sick he should sit a game, give Seguin or Caron a chance. And if he's not then he deserves the pressbox even more. That whole line has been rubbish so far but at least Krejci and Horton are visible at times, Lucic simply does nothing, he looks like Travis Moen out there. I love the guy and know he can be a difference maker, especially in the playoffs, he's proven it time and time again at a young age, but if you're your team's worst forward by a country-mile for 4 straight playoff games you should take a break, whatever the reason is.

I laughed alot when I saw him on TV trying to not look like an idiot. This is probably the most stupid excuse I've ever seen/heard, "My glove was stuck maybe, I don't do that kind of things." As funny as it was it was still unprofessional for a "professional" athlete.

What the heck Tortorella is thinking with a 3-0 lead pulling out Lundqvist with three minutes to go? The Rags are done, Torto's job too maybe. I can't understand why the Rags are always falling apart in the playoffs, they got a decent team.

Congrats Beantown fans. What did I say just 6 days ago when the Habs were up 2-0. Its all coming true. I just hope we live to see game 7. It was inevitable in game 5. Boston looked so much more fit in OT, the Habs looked old, tired and completely gassed.

Good luck in the Eastern Semis.

Posted: **Sun Apr 24, 2011 2:08 pm**

Habs played well in first OT, not in the second. It wasn't the best game in the series though, I found the first and second period pretty boring.

Posted: **Mon Apr 25, 2011 12:47 am**

Flyers saved their butt tonight! That was close though.

I'm probably gonna watch VCR-CHI, if the Hawks win the Nucks are done for sure. Luongo is not going to play.

Posted: **Mon Apr 25, 2011 2:17 am**

Bye bye the Ducks! Nashville won their first series in their history. I wasn't expecting them to win I put Anaheim in 6.

Posted: **Mon Apr 25, 2011 10:00 am**

Go on Preds

Posted: **Mon Apr 25, 2011 3:52 pm**

It was nice to see Horton come up big in OT the other night. Hopefully that goal will get his line going (especially Lucic!).

Posted: **Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:48 pm**

Why must the Habs always get my hopes up? In all honesty, the Bruins are the better team, but if you are gonna lose, do it like you did in 09. Crush my spirits early and get it over with...

Posted: **Tue Apr 26, 2011 3:18 pm**

Kinga are now playing golf! Is the Sharks will maintain the rythm........this year?

3 other series will end tonight too, Philly/Buff should be a great game to watch. I'm not sure that I want to watch VCR/CHI one, this one scares me! And of course the Habs will fall tonight.

On one hand, I was widdled because the Habs just got scored on; on the other hand, I thought it was absolutely hilarious. I can't be mad at Ference, he is a very articulate guy who does speeches on behalf of the left-wing Canadian political party I support, so seeing him do this is rather perplexing and awesome.

One thing that bothers me though, is that Bruins fans are up in arms about Max Pac's tweet stating "this game is longer than Brad Marchand's nose" all while having the Ference Finger as their desktop background. Honestly, making a playful comment about a guy's nose and giving 22,000 fans (including children) the finger just does not compare. Although I love both gaffes equally.
