GAME TAKES: Montreal wins first game 4-3 in OT

[V-HAB]

Yeah, but I liked Kovy's tying goal better. Wicked, top-corner snapshot.

[Carson!]

yeah, it was nice, but the habs had a lucky break, having richards in the penalty box, he was the only left faceoff guy and they needed one for that face off, and that caused them to lose, don cherry and ron mclean were talking about that before the O.T. period

[V-HAB]

Yeah. Didn't help that Carter broke his stick, too.

& 48 seconds into OT.....that was just a little too fast....he shoots //he scores....not that I'm sayin' it should have last 4 hours....l

<cue viagra commercials>

[Carson!]

haha, yeah i was hoping for a long overtime too

[V-HAB]

Yeah, it was a quick end to the game. I'm still waiting for a game that will last like, 20 OT periods. Like you accidently fall asleep at 3 o'clock in the morning during an intermission, and wake up at like 11 and the game is still on.

I'm happy it didn't last that long. My mom was on the verge of kicking me off the TV. Thank goodness for TK [Tom Kostopolous for those who are unaware =P]

I'm also really happy that they won. I got to wear my new Kostitsyn shirt to school XD

[V-HAB]

Yeah! I want a 46 Jersey so bad.

(Nice to see you by the way, haven't seen you in a while!)

In response to VD:
I have watched the play over and over on replay and i stand behind my opinion. But as a refree i know what it is like to have to make judgement calls and i think i agree that the penalty had to be called.

For today expect the Flyers to come out strong especially the Hartnell-Briere-Prospal line that Stevens put back together. This is a big game for both teams. For the Flyers it will be huge to tie it up and send it back here where the craziest and most assanying fans in all of hockey are. For the Habs i don't think they can handle the Philly in Philly so they are going to have to hope the series comes back to montreal tied 2-2
