 | Can Montreal Make Another Comeback? |
 Hockey75 writes "For the sixth time in these playoffs, the Habs are in a must win situation. If they lose, they go home. If they win, they play at least one more game. The Habs are 5-0 in elimination games in the playoffs. But, the Flyers are 2-0 when having the chance of eliminating their opponent. They were down 3-1 to the Washington Capitals in the Quarter-Final. They managed to win three games in a row to pull off an upset against the President's Trophy winners.
In the Semi-Final against the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins, they went down 3-2 in the series. They won two games in a row to pull off yet again, another upset in the playoffs. But this series has been different. They are facing a rougher and tougher team than both the Capitals and the Penguins. They are down 3-1 in the series to Philly going into Philadelphia for game 5.
The Flyers have had their fair share of upsets and shockers. In the Quarter-final, they took out the New Jersey Devils in just five games. And in the Semi-final against Boston, it looked like they were done going down 3-0 in the series. They fought back by winning four games in a row to be only the third team in NHL history to do so. They have been shutout by Michael Leighton 3 times in the series. They are getting out-scored 13-5. They have been out-muscled, out-skated and simply out-played. Is the miracle run over for the Habs? Will they only force it to game 6? Will they force it to game 7 but fall short? Or will they win three in a row and go to the Stanley Cup final? I am going to say, Flyers end it in game 5."

(User Info | Send a Message) | an emphatic no on the comeback.
habs are close. but need to get bigger. major trump card will be what they can get back for price.
need another high end dman to help markov, or at least be there if markov goes down again.
i would say no to plekanec if he asks for like 6 mil. in that playoff, he proved clearly he isnt even a 4 mil player. no heart, no will.
rooting for the hawks to end their drought. this too will hopefully push the leafs harder to win as they will then have the futility record.

(User Info | Send a Message) | The Habs can still come back. It's not over till it's over. Like John Belushi said, nothing is over until you decide.
