you mean 1001

Congrats Habs!!! Hopefully San Jose VS Habs in the Final and I see Flyers VS Habs in the Eastern Final !!!!

hot goalie will do that...i hate the fact the habs got through and not the canucks..i'll be happy if both got through but knowing that the habs has a chance to get to the finals just makes me sad...

well..anyways...seems like a retooling job will be made....

who thinks that raymond will be gone (trade) since grabner is emerging (and cheaper)...

i would be sad to see raymond go. he's been great this year and he continues to improve. but of course, there's no way to ascertain what will happen with any of our UFAs. it would be pure speculation.

raymond is a JOKE. Yea hes fast but has no finish and no passing skills lol. He just skates around in circles

Raymond, Mason

82 GP
25 G
28 A
53 PTS

He averages around 1 goal every 3.28 GP and had the same number of goals as Ryan Kesler.

He's paid $760,000 while Kesler gets paid 1.75 Mill.

I guess Kesler is a JOKE as well?

Not that I agree about Raymond, but Kesler is worth a LOT more than the goals he scores. He's nominated for the Selke trophy, FFS

He was nominated, he didn't win it...yet.

raymond has potential. look at the improvement from last year to this year. last year he really did just skate around in circles because he didnt know what to do with the puck.

hes 24 and this was his second full season with the big club. he went from 23 to 53 points and 11 to 25 goals.

his passing and hockey sense are improving huge, he hits now and plays with a bit of an edge, and hes even trusted with PK duties. you can learn to score goals (it took kesler and burrows 4 years to learn to score) and you can develop hockey sense, but you cant learn to be one of the fastest skaters in the league.

I doubt he's winning it, Kesler 75 points and a +1. Datsyuk 70 points and a +15. The plus/minus will probably be the difference for Datsyuk considering it's an award for best defensive forward. I hope I'm wrong and he got the votes needed.

As long as Crosby is out of the playoffs then it took some the pain away.

If you posted this last year it had some merit, this year you're flat out wrong. He's vastly improved his game.

There is a riot going on in Montreal right now for beating the Pens. LOL

They were showing it on Global TV.

man...if they had a riot for beating the pens, imagine when they lose a series...or win the next series. Oh snap.

Mason Raymond is good, he just needs to pass more

Wow. Go Philly! I want to see history happen.

If Philly does win though...
It means I predicted all the wrong teams to advance in round 2.. =/

2007 Draft:

Patrick White 25th overall
Taylor Ellington 33rd overall
PK Subban 43rd overall

Notice how SJ Chi and MTL have a black guy on their team?
Coincidence I THINK NOT!

no more of this please. Everyone can make themselves a genius if they knew what they were getting at the draft. If you are going to make this argument, then why not compare the draft rank of Datsyuk and Zetterberg when they got drafted in the 6th/7th round? who would have predicted that!
If your gonna do this then you might as well say that Patrick Stefan was a first round pick. Where is he now?

no more kopitaarz stuff here.. its getting old.
There is no perfect accuracy in selecting the players in draft. At the time of draft, you choose the best player that has the best ability to play up to their potential. It's the organizations responsibility to discover and hone those potential skills. It's not just based solely on the talent that these players have.

It's just a post about PK Subban. I'm not arguing anything. If it makes you feel better, I'll edit it to this:

2007 Draft:

Patrick Kane 1st overall
David Perron 26th overall
PK Subban 43rd overall

Werd. I had HDTV and I still couldn't tell if Simmonds was a player or somebody's shadow. It also didn't help that the LA's uniform was almost completely black.

Man, the fans in Montreal must be going nuts.

Edit:

I guess they did go nuts...

Montreal mobs loot stores after Game 7 win

Riot police in Montreal moved in to quell rowdy mobs that began smashing windows and looting stores following the celebration of Montreal's win against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Thousands of people poured into the streets to celebrate the win, and most people were peaceful, a police spokesman said.

But police did have to fire tear gas and pepper spray as they marched down Ste. Catherine Street to break up the crowd who were throwing bottles at officers and storefronts. At least 25 people were reported arrested.

The RDI network showed youths breaking into and looting a number of shops, including a Foot Locker store. Some tossed clothes from the store onto the street and the items were quickly scooped up by those in the vicinity.

Some had donned hoods and masks to conceal their identities.

Police officers wearing protective gear were stationed at every intersection. Police on horseback were also assigned to monitor downtown.

Police spokesman Ian Lafrenière said they arrested most people for breaking into two businesses.

"A lot of Canadien fans came forward and they were not happy about what was going on. It’s not them, it’s a small group of organized people," he said. "When you’re looking at a group of people marching two by two, this is not a coincidence."

The violence happened hours after thousands of people poured into the streets celebrate the Canadiens' 5-2 win over Penguins in Pittsburgh, capturing their best-of-seven NHL playoff series in seven games.

Many came from the Bell Centre, where 20,000 tickets to watch the game on giant screens had sold out within minutes. Fans cheered the Canadiens' reaching the conference final for the first time since their 1993 Stanley Cup ride.

Even though the team was playing on the road, police had earlier appealed to fans to be on their best behaviour in Montreal. Ste. Catherine Street was once again closed to traffic between Guy and University streets as of 7 p.m. ET.

Denis Desroches, the deputy police chief, said earlier that a lot of police officers would be on hand to ensure a safe environment.

Montreal has a history of hockey-related violence.

Cars were burned and downtown stores were trashed and looted after the Canadiens beat the Bruins in 2008 to advance to the next round of that season's playoffs.

There were also riots after Stanley Cup wins in 1986 and 1993. Police say three types of people are usually swept up in the rowdiness — fans who want to celebrate, people who are drawn to the area of the celebration and get drunk, and thieves who want to profit from any vandalism.

Police said hockey fans don't deserve the blame for any of the looting or vandalism after major Habs wins in recent years. They said none of the people they arrested in 2008 had tickets to the game on them.
