HotCarl Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Probably the best game I've seen in person and on tv by far. From having a small lead most of the 1st and 2nd to losing it then 2 goals within 49 seconds of each other then losing it and going to OT, then the shootout. Best hockey game ever. Not to mention Montreal is arguably the best team in the Eastern Conference. I've got high hopes for Steve Mason to be out "goalie saviour", they better not send him back down to syracuse when Norrena get's healthy.

Supplicium Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I was there. Great game I almost puked with 40 seconds left when they tied it up. Mason has been looking so good. I got high hopes for the Jackets. Between Mason Brassard, Vorachek, Methot, and RJ those guys have really been stepping it up lately.

If they can get him from Minn without giving up too much, they'll win the cup, even considering the Red Wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me that whole game was anticlimactic but I would much rather have ended this game in a shoot out win with the 2 points than ended up a tie after OT. My opinion, the best rule the NHL has imposed in recent history. The Habs record of 8-1-2 is the best team we've faced thus far (save for the Rangers) and i dont think alot of people really gave us a chance to win against them thats why this game was so big. But your right, Gaborik, Markov and Koivu would be a scary opponent not to mention with Price in net (who was a healthy scratch last night) Kind of piss's me off to see Zherdev actually showing up for the Ranger's like he never did for us. what a piece.

Pretty awesome seats. Mason is really giving us a lot to be happy for this week. He was amazing tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Man, Mason has got to be feeling great right now. Still, Nash needs to get back to the playing that got him where he is today. Brassard is one of the best rookies I've seen in awhile, at least the past month or so. And what the hell happened to Chimera?! He's been in the top 1-2 point-holders on the team all season!!

And what the hell happened to Chimera?! He's been in the top 1-2 point-holders on the team all season!! Your absolutly right about Nash. He cant be looked at as the captain and leader if he doesnt produce. Sure he's getting points from assists but he's in a small funk in scoring. The upside, its giving Brassard and Voracek a chance to shine the same way it gave Toews and Kane their chance last year when they were both rookes. Im really excited for this team.
