Larry Playfair Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 Is there a cooler hockey city to play in than in Montreal???? I went to the old forum once, and the huge oil paintings of the great canadians players in their history gave me goosebumps. Anyone been to the new forum?
Corp000085 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 The only hockey arenas i've been to have been the one that the quebec nordiques played in, the maple leaf gardens, boston gardens, MSG, the aud, HSBC, and the BC arena in rochester. Out of all of them, i still say the aud is my favorite.
Corp000085 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 FAST start by the sabres... why are the canadiens in white and the sabres in black if its regulation for the home team to wear dark now? I see that its their 3rd jersey, but i didn't realize that a team could wear white at home anymore. (or is this the old, its buffalo or a canadian team, so we'll make an exception clause)
Eleven Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 Hey, if Montreal can wear white at home (I know it's their third jersey, but the new policy is based on colored third jerseys), why can't the Sabres? I like white at home--reminds me of Jets and Nords fans with their seas of white, and of hockey the way it was.
shrader Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 I'm assuming the Canadiens have to make it known to the road team well ahead of time that they'll be wearing the white 3rd jerseys. Speaking of those jerseys, why are they allowed to have that stupid vintage hockey patch on all of those jerseys. It's blatent advertising for the vintage jersey lines. What's next, jerseys like the one's they wear in Russia?
Seannie34 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 these refs seem to be favoring the habs... ive seen atleast 3 penalties not called and the sabres just took 2 in a row

I went to the old forum once, and the huge oil paintings of the great canadians players in their history gave me goosebumps. Anyone been to the new forum? You mean Le Centre Bell? Yes, I've been there many times. It's one of the larger arenas in the NHL (22,000 cap?) It's petty much your typical cookie-cutter HSBC/Fleet Center/etc. type of arena. The upper deck is quite steep, so they put a rail between every row. Nice to lean on while watching the game. You can see a game for as little as $22 CDN, about $18 US. PTR

Larry Playfair Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 campbell gets BUff on the board! 2-1 canooks.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 The Molson Centre! Very loud and the crowd is in to it every night. I wish we had that back in Buffalo! It think it's Bell Center now...was Molson Center when it first opened. Yes, Habs fans are pretty knowledgable and enthusiastic. As long as you are not acting like an a$$, they treat opposing fans okay. PTR
bottlecap Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 I'm watching the game here in Boston on Center ice and it disgusts me that there's (MUCH) more Canadians fans at the game than Sabres fans. It sounds like a road game for the Sabres. All I have to say about those Hab fans with their French songs is F-em!!!

There are more Habs fans because the game is being played in MONTREAL! :lol: The Canadiens are wearing their alternate jerseys. (white with blue stripe) That's why the Sabres are wearing black. PTR

That call on Mair was WEAK! I'm all for what the league is trying to do, but calls that put teams down two players have been weak and that is right in line with them.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 The Candiens could win a gold medal with the dives they take! The must coach them to fall down whenever an opposing player touches them. They are worse than soccer players. At least they don't fake injuries. PTR

(white with blue stripe) That's why the Sabres are wearing black. PTR Other context clues include the 2 giant Cs at center ice, the Coupe Stanley banners hanging from the rafters, the Canadian advertisements around the boards, and the fact that Montreal is listed second on the score line. And Drury ties it--to a bunch of boos. That's the most exciting clue of all.

Corp000085 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 overtime!! after being down 0-2, its now tied at 2... stay tuned
Corp000085 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 CAMPBELL!!!! SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES 3-2
Eleven Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 Campbell with 2! And someone tape Kalinin's stick to his hands...
Corp000085 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 f---ing awesome game... this was the game of the year... huge statement coming back from 0-2 and winning it on the road... GREAT GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guest Guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 This team is good. You don't win these kind of games on the road..
Eleven Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 CAMPBELL!!!! SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES 3-2 Too bad the Habs get a point out of this. Oh well.
mrjsbu96 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 overtime!! after being down 0-2, its now tied at 2... stay tuned YEAH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!! It could/would never happen, and I would not want it to happen, but 4-on-4 hockey is awesome. Nice work tonight boys! Props to Timmy Connolly's continued great play and also Marty Biron and Brian Campbell. Kalinin continues to disappoint me. ...and I really like Gaustad. I think he, McKee and Mair are the only guys that still hit.
Corp000085 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 Too bad the Habs get a point out of this. Oh well. well the nhl still has to show that its screwed up somehow... regulation win--2 points overtime win--2 points regulation loss--0 points overtime loss--0 points shootout win--2 points shootout loss--1 point it makes sense.
