    I'm not at all familiar with it, but this series is far from over.

    This series is getting ugly fast. Every game looks eerily similar. Montreal can't capitolize on early breaks, Flyers bury their few chances - Montreal turns up the intensity to make a game of it in the third...too little too late.

    So Grampa, would you prefer a comp or a preview disc? If a preview -have you ever heard this...

    It's a good one!
    The Flyers were up 3-1 over the Caps and were pushed to game 7, and the Caps are not the Habs. I foresee this going the full 7, but I hope not. Yes, you would think with the way the games are going the wrong team is winning, but the Flyers went through this before where they seemingly out-shot everyone but it didn't reflect on the score.

    I'm sure you've had your fill of R. J. Umberger by now. Ha! I saw your comment about him the other day, and now he's becoming THE MAN for the Flyers, scoring in the last 3 including another 2 last night. Yeah, the second was the empty-netter, but it still hurts.

    Conventional wisdom would indicate that the Flyers will win the series since they're up 3-1, so if that happens, the preview cd will be fine.

    I like your cautious optimism. But I'll tell you this right now. If it goes to seven - the Habs will be playing the pens in the East final - frankly though I don't see it. I do think they'll gut out game 5, but probably lose in 6. And yeah, if I never hear the name Umburger again that would be just fine.

    Montreal beat Boston because our third and 4th line was better than theirs, but the Philly 3rd line is just killing Montreal.

    Well, they won 3 or more in a row 6 times this year...

    ...during the regular season, including the last three, so they're certainly capable. And they're the #1 seed. And we're talking about a Philly sports team. Deep down inside I can't for the life of me believe they could lose the next 3, but I refuse to count my chickens (see the 3 things I mentioned). The fact that they made the playoffs was a big deal after the debacle of last season, and the fact that they won the first round and are leading the #1 see 3-1 is almost too much for me to stand.

    As funny as this sounds, if they do win this series and lose to the damn Penguins, I'm going to be a basket-case. I hate that team with a passion. As much as I hate the Cowboys and Raiders, the Yankees the Mets and the Braves, the Lakers and the Celtics...you get the picture.

    Hey Tamer,

    When Umberger gets to be too much just fall back on this fond memory...

    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    ...what they say. Paybacks are a bitch. I would have been head-hunting him for the rest of his playing days.

    Unfortunately they can't trade for Brian Campbell before game 5. To me the biggest reason for the Habs disappointing performance in this series (and really in the playoffs), aside from a power play that looks lost - is Mike Komisarek, their most physical defenceman has completely lost his physical edge - I guess he must be hurt, because he doesn't even look like the same guy. How else to explain the league leader in hits during the regular season recording 0 hits in game 4?. I can't.
