From NHL.com:
* Subban, Gallagher and Eller with five points each in the first round.
* Bouillon, Weaver are both +5. Bourque and Eller are +4.
Also heard during the LA/SJ game that the last time Montreal scored 16 goals in a series was in '93.
Cheers.

They are fine...if you lean to their bias. Leaf fans think CBC hockey is fine too. I'm not going to argue if your bias is better or worse then mine, it's irrelevent, but neither of us should roll our eyes at what should be "just the news facts". Really not sure what you mean about their news bias, but their hockey coverage tonight was beyond appalling. When Bourque and Gio sprung that 2 on 1 you could almost hear the disappointment in Hughson's voice. Maclean really surprised me too with that nonsense he spewed. Let them. We're off to round 2.

MacLean is now apologizing for opening that language card.
Might want to consider cleaning up some other areas. Sorry Tampa lost, but a Canadian team moved on.
Cheers.

Maclean is in full damage control. But his spin made no sense at all. And then trying to rely on PJ Stock to bail him out - then you know you're desperate. Now they're trying too say he was talking about geography and what province the ref was from. Never heard anyone talk about a problem with Ontario born refs working a Leafs game. Never really trusted Maclean as he's a bit of a lackey but always thought he was smart enough to avoid controversy. After all he has spent most of his career defusing outrageous/racist Cherry comments. Anyway, he's on the glue now. He wears it well. at least there can now be no camouflage for the outright anti-Hab broadcasts. Just pisses me off that my tax money is going to it!

Can't believe Maclean played the 'F' card! Are they that bitter about the Habs success? Just some idle ramblings about facts we all know about and probably doesn't need repeating but I'll repeat them anyways: CBC headquarters are based in Toronto CBC has a lot of viewers in the Toronto and surrounding area HNIC is a CBC program Toronto Maple Leafs has most of their fan base in the Toronto and surrounding areas HNIC is a Toronto Maple Leafs home broadcast. HNIC's TV ratings are based on leaf fan's viewer ship Whatever leaf's fans want, HNIC delivers. HNIC will never view the Habs as the home team against any of the other 29 teams in the league. Leaf fans would never put up with this, TV ratings would drop. Leaf fans want to see the Habs lose and are totally not interested in any colour commentary and/or current events/history about the team. It's in HNIC's best interests to promote the opposing team i.e. the team leaf fans don't hate and would rather see win against the Habs. Leaf fans do not like the Habs, are jealous of the Habs and want to see the Habs fail in the playoffs at any level (preferably the first round). HNIC, therefore, does not like the Habs, are jealous of the habs and want to see the Habs fail in the playoffs at any level (preferably the first round) and as such HNIC will always champion any team opposing the Habs as the "home" team, in an attempt to satiate leafs nation's hatred for the Habs and give them a viewing reason to tune into the broadcast. Leafs pukes and HNIC get another crack at us in the form of Boston or Wings and any team right to the cup if we can get that far. My conclusions: HNIC simply does what it does in the regular and post season, by vicariously bestowing a seed of gratification and/or self-importance to a loser leaf fan base that supports a loser leaf team, backed by a loser leaf TV network in the hope that someone else can finish off what they themselves could not accomplish...beat the Habs. Leaf fan and therefore HNIC, mentality is ....if we can't make the playoffs, then the Habs shouldn't either and the fact that they have, only means that we want to see a team, any team, knock them out as soon as possible. Del's reply to Del: u were rite.....didn't need repeating. Del's reply to Del's reply: oh well....just a need to vent, I suppose!

The bottom line is that the far better team won. I have trouble with anyone seriously considering this version of the Bolts a good team. Even with Bishop, how did they get 102 points? Were they all injured and playing on one leg? Their rookie of the year candidate, Johnson, has good wheels and what else? That defense, in its current state, is barely NHL material and half of them should be in the AHL. There were a lot of rookies for a reason...they didn't have enough good players.

MacLean is now apologizing for opening that language card. Might want to consider cleaning up some other areas. Sorry Tampa lost, but a Canadian team moved on. Cheers. You can't unbleep the donkey. Once he said it, he said it. The apology doesn't matter at this point; we now know Ron Maclean's true colors. Of course he's right. I mean, these guys who have worked their entire professional lives to reach the pinnacle of their chosen professions, riding buses and sacrificing families and lifestyles, would instantly throw it all away to help a sports team they may or may not have cheered for as a kid. Because regional ties are much stronger than say, pride in yourself, your job and your work, right? So I agree, French guys shouldn't referee games in Montreal. Of course, since they are such fans they shouldn't referee any games in Toronto or Boston either, and since last spring and the Eller hit I guess Ottawa is out too. I mean, they hate those teams, right? So never mind helping the Canadiens, they may actively try and hurt those other teams, even if Montreal is not playing them. But fair is fair; no referee from Ontario should be allowed to referee a Toronto or Ottawa game either. Or Boston. And I guess they're probably still pretty bitter about that whole Gretzky/Gilmour thing, so we should probably rule them out of LA games. Well, San Jose and Anaheim games too, in case the bias stretches to all of California. Now that I think about it though, the rot probably goes much deeper than just referees. I mean, should a French doctor be allowed to work on an injured player from an opposing team? That's just tempting fate, isn't it? Maybe we should import hospitals from Europe just for hockey games, just to make sure. Actually, we can't do that... we all know Finnish doctors have a natural allegiance to Montreal because of Saku Koivu. Maybe Chinese doctors or something. We'll have to look into that. Oh dear, what about crowd control?? Boston crowds boo PK Subban, don't they? I hate to play the race card, but you know, PK, well, he's different. What, um, you know... what color are the majority of the security staff in Boston? What if some crazed fan attacks PK? Should there be a black or white security guard coming to his rescue? I guess it depends on the color of the attacker, right? I mean, otherwise there might be some sort of bias, one way or the other. We know they aren't professional enough to do their jobs regardless of race, language or ethnicity, Ron Maclean told us so. And even if they are, perception you know, we can't assign a black cop to protect PK Subban... no wait, we HAVE to assign a black cop... no, wait, what if the attacker is white... I'll get back to you on this, but we have to consider the perception others will have when assigning jobs here. I guess we should think about religion too. I mean, nothing against the Jews and all, some of my best friends are Jewish, but should a Jewish referee do a game with the Muslim Nazim Kadri? Especially since Leaf player Mike Brown is Jewish? I googled that, just to be sure. Oh god, is Mike Hasenfratz German?? I hate to ask, but should he be allowed to officiate any game involving the Leafs and/or Jews? Perception, you know. Oh hang on... what if its a black Jewish cop with a German background who has a mother who once smoked (but didn't inhale) Jamaican pot? This is so complicated... Look, I thought it was a bad call. Actually, check that; I thought it was a bad call in the context of the game. It was definitely a penalty, but they let so much go on both sides that calling that at that point in time... well, I though it was a bad call. But that's not because of a French referee. It's because the NHL has different rules for different teams, for different games, for different periods, for different scores. Been like that forever. The problem wasn't with the call, the problem was he made a first period call in the third period. And we all know the NHL doesn't want you doing that. Anywhoo. Whiners gotta whine. Bring it on. They're never going to love us, so we should stop trying or caring that they don't. Part of my rationale behind naming PK Subban the next captain. Giant F-U to the rest of the league. Might as well, right? Eight different forwards scored during the Tampa series. That's unreal. How do you break up that lineup to get Moen and/or Galchenyuk back in? Who could you possibly take out? Prust, in my opinion, has been the weakest forward, but he's also hurt, and he's also the forward you would least like to take out of the lineup in a Boston series (or any playoff series for that matter). Very good problem to have, no?

Can't believe Maclean played the 'F' card! Are they that bitter about the Habs success? Even at the end of the game he says "Montreal full value for the win except for the break they got." At least we didn't kick any pucks in... Ron McLean, the B's fan, said what he did for a reason. What will result is during the next round, no french ref will give montreal the benefit of the doubt on anything, just to show there is no bias towards the habs. I can envision chris lee, tim peel and 2 french refs doing the Habs game in the next series and it will be brutal.

Whining about officials is what they do in Toronto. They were bitching about the Raptors game and how they didn't get a single call in game one. Really, not one call. However, I expect coaches to do it, not announcers. McLean owes the referees an apology & he owes us an apology for saying something that stupid.

Boston won 3-0 tonight. Got goals from Hamilton and Caron. Howard wasn't in top form despite making more than 30 saves. Wings got booed off the ice at the end of the first - out shot 11 to 4. Doesn't sound like a Wings crowd really. A little early for it too. They need to come back with a top effort in game 4. If they don't, I don't think it goes 6 games. scoring 2 goals in 3 games isn't going to get them anywhere. I think this ends in 5.

Part of my rationale behind naming PK Subban the next captain. Giant F-U to the rest of the league. Might as well, right? I actually suggested this to a few friends. It would be a big pie in the face to the entire league if Subban is named the next captain. As far as controversy goes, I could care less. Remember the equipment malfunction Andrew Ferrence experienced? Just that explanation, alone, was the same thing ... a big FU to the Montreal crowd while pandering to the Boston faithful. And it's routine with Boston ... lie, deny, laugh about it after and move on while everyone else is stewing ... mission accomplished ... honestly, I wouldn't have a problem with him being our next captain ... and I could care less what others think of it ... would be good for a laugh going the other way for a change ... Cheers.

Ron MacLean flip-flopped pretty quickly. He offers an apology stating that in the wake of the controversy of game 3 and Jon Cooper's complaints, that a french referee shouldn't have worked game 4.
HUH? You admitted during the game 3 telecast that the right call was made; it was your comments and Kerry Fraser's that calmed the backlash from all the "refs favour the HABS" BS ... so why punish all the refs from the same geographic location because a rookie referee made the RIGHT call. Let me rephrase that again Mr. MacLean; a rookie referee. So perhaps, it was his experience that should have come under a little scrutiny and maybe inexperienced referees be reassigned from game 4 (or the whole series for that matter). But to immediately suggest it was his place of birth, or the language he speaks, that may induce a bias?? C'Mon man!

Well said, Del and BC! This biased treatment is saved ONLY for the Habs...unless another Canadian-based team is playing the Leafs. Even Ottawa gets a better shake in the playoffs from HNIC. Which makes me think it runs deeper than just hockey. MacLean's embarrassing language/culture card was an eye-opener....no matter HOW he's trying to wiggle out from under it. Cherry likely said the same thing off-camera....as he's done in various forms ON-camera over the decades.

We all love Peel and Lee, but I think their bias has less to do with where they're from than simply natural talent. They're just not that good. Kinda like the Bolts. I have an explanation for the call on Paquette. Refs are perfectly willing to let play go on providing the player is not so stupid as to be obvious as hell and the play doesn't have a result which may affect the score. Well Paquette lost on both scores. He caused a turnover as Bournival was just about to take off with the puck, in full possession and he blatantly stuck his stick around Bournival's legs and yanked back. I think it was totally warranted to call a penalty for stupidity alone. As an example of how to do it right, Bournival sat on Paquette and held him down in the corner, but Paquette didn't have the puck and Bournival didn't high stick him in the face. That's how you do it. Lots of players do much the same things all game long and the refs don't call it. On top of that, the penalty itself wasn't Tampa's undoing. The Habs PP had sucked for the entire series. How can a team give up a goal against a sucking PP at such a crucial time? I don't feel sorry for Tampa. I don't know how anyone can justify thinking they should move on when you see that lineup. Must be the same guys who think the Leafs deserve to make the playoffs. Tampa really did it with mirrors this year. Yes, they had some injuries late, Bishop being the most crucial, but you can almost bet the farm that Salo is going to be hurt or that someone else on your roster is going to be injured. It's why you often see the phrase, "You can never have enough defensemen" on this board. If we lost some dmen, at least we have some guys who can come in and legitimately be classed as NHL players. I was extremely concerned that Galchenyuk's injury was going to hurt us big time, but Bourque rediscovered something and AG's loss wasn't felt that badly. There are some decent pieces on Tampa, but Yzerman still has a lot of work ahead. Tampa reminds me of some teams that have a huge unexpected turnaround in one year because everything goes well, (remind you of anyone?) and then the wheels fall off. That's hardly a reason for getting on their bandwagon and then pouting when things don't work like you expect (McLean). Having said all the above, and keeping in mind that the Habs played hard and played well for the most part, it was certainly beneficial to play a team with some injury problems and with very suspect goaltending. The late second and the 3rd period was a warning to us that we're not there yet. Other teams will be much more physical than the Bolts and will wear us down more. We have to maintain our speed, our discipline and we have to start scoring on the PP, to discourage the kind of antics the Bruins will bring. I don't believe the Wings have enough to beat Boston without Howard standing on his head. The Wings are another team that had a successful year despite injuries because of great coaching and tremendous effort on the part of the players. It takes another gear in the Cup run, though and if you've already pushed yourself to the limit to get there, there's nothing more to give. I hope we have the same effect on Rask that we've always had and I hope that Detroit makes Boston work a bit harder and maybe even suffer an injury or two, while we're resting and recovering. This sweep is great for Prust, for Markov, Weaver and Bouillon. PS. Carey has to reset, too. I was not happy with his movements on Tuesday. He did not look in control. Even going back to the disallowed goal on Sunday, he was off balance and wild in his attempt to recover. Some of you who have goalie experience may be able to elaborate on that as I don't know the basics well enough, but he just looked 'wrong'. On the positive side , we have a full line-up going, no serious injuries we know of and a team that seems committed. A 4 game sweep with our #1 line not contributing that much. Pretty good, and I hope they're back to normal for Round 2. Did anyone else notice Vanek looking not lax, but seemingly one step behind the play, yesterday? As if the effort level went from 95% to 85%.

this is the best descriptor of the series. with an NHL caliber goalie -- heck, with an AHL caliber goalie -- it would have been a tighter series [there is a reason that he is no longer in Nashville]. we'da come out ahead in the end, even with Bishop in net, but I don't think there would have been a sweep. not that I care -- nice to come out on top.

Mehh.....f them all.
Last night I was having some fun at HF. The usual bleepers came on about how the Habs were this or that....so I mocked their bias. OF COURSE the refs are in our pockets, we wash their cars. That's right, no ref should go around with dirty cars so before every game we wash their cars. And buy them beers. So they in turn will reward us with a Stanley Cup. I'm not sure why I bothered other then to entertain myself, much like watching Laff fans carefullly cut out little holes for the paper bags.
I want to be hated again. I really, really do. The more hate the merrier. They can all pour out as much hatred as they possibly muster.......while watching our cup parade. Pfffft....

Below is a sample of typical anti-Habs' chatter on Facebook today. They're eating up every morsel of MacLean's comment...and it'll be used ad nauseam by the haters. He gave them license. Just as Cherry gave them license to hate Subban.
Don't forget to pack your favourite refs for game 1 in Boston. You'll need them.

Ding dong the Bolts are gone ...
How sad is it that you feel the need to pander to a fan base that's either not in the playoffs or not involved in the series you're presenting? Are Leafs fans masochists? Do they watch Canadiens playoffs games in the hopes they lose, or is it to know what playoff games feel like?
...
When asked if being from Quebec influenced his work last night, and to comment on what Ron McLean inferred, referee said, "Ron who? Never heard of him. I don't watch the CBC. They still do hockey?" THAT would be the ultimate comeback.
