2-1 Flyers after the first, but a period that was dominated overall by the Habs.

Heheh! I'm watching on RDS, but I know he has some pretty funky suits in that wardrobe of his.
Anyway, 3-1 Flyers after 2. Montreal is dominating the game so far in every aspect except goaltending. Biron has been stelar, and Price weak.

I'll stay positive and say that the Habs will come back in third period, a little mad at Biron for all the saves he made, and then they'll score one goal at the beginning, and one at the end [again] then it'll go on to overtime, and it'll be anyone's game xD
I'm weird when I want to be, and right now I guess I just want to be... |

Heheh. But the score could easily be inverted right now. Biron robbed Plekanec twice, Streit was unlucky at the end of the 1st with a crossbar just before the buzzer, Markov missed a wide open net, the list goes on...
29 shots by Montreal, 16 by Philadelphia...

but anyways. I'm sure that the Habs won't finish the game without a fight. And by fight I mean hard work to try and score, and not a fist-fight -.-' I know they'll work hard. Or at least I could hope... |

Oh, yeah, that's what I meant.
Anyway, that really sucks. Montreal dominated the game the entire 60 minutes and came out of it with nothing. Real frustrating. Biron was awesome, Price sucked.
And I'm pissed off.

Same here. Guess Price just wasn't all there tonight. Well, it's only one game....right? We could come back, and I'm sure we will. I'm such an optimistic x.x |

But you're right. And, I guess, Philly deserved to win game 1 more than Montreal, so we could call it even...
Still sucks though...

I'm really disappointed in hw the Habs played, and Carbo even started changing the Lines at some part. He put Sergei Kostitsyn back with Koivu/Higgins and Kovalev back with Plekanec/Andrei . Guess he's definatly going to redo his lines for the next match. |

Well, I thought Montreal played awesome tonight. I don't know what the final shots were, but Montreal dominated. Biron was just too good, and Price was weak on every goal except Briere's.

I just think it was one of those nights with Marty Biron being a super star & no matter how the line ups were ...changed or not ...he was unstoppable !
Price. Well, ...there are going to be games like that. Hope he just doesn`t lose his focus and it just makes for a good series at this point.

Yeah. I remember game 5 against Boston, he had a terrible game then too. Let's hope he bounces back quickly in game 3 'cause they're going to need him over there.
