[Reb]

Nope! I want Les Habitants to mount a come back and extend this series.

TSN's Ice Chips

Tom Pyatt (upper-body, day-to-day) did not skate at Monday's practice and is not expected to play in Game 5. Mathieu Darche will be in the lineup for Montreal.
- TSN

The Flyers are not expected to make any lineup changes for Game 5, meaning that Dan Carcillo will likely sit again. The team held an optional skate on Monday but Daniel Briere, Mike Richards, Simon Gagne and Chris Pronger were among the players not skating. - TSN

All right Reb. That does it. I'm moving in beside your home and every morning, I will make sure I'm up early enough to chew some small bits of paper up and spit it through a large straw, thus pee-shooting all your windows, before you wake up!

[Dark Knight]

And Montreal scores :59 seconds in...

[Dark Knight]

And congratulations to Philadelphia on winning the East.

[Dutch Duck]

Don't get me wrong Wild Wing MX, I love it that Philly is going to the Finals, because of the Prongs, but how happy can you be for a none Ducks team making the Finals??

I'm an Anti-Montreal Fan! That should be more than obvious... ya think?

You've made your point. Now drop it

[WILD WING MX]

You've made your point. Now drop it

Yes, yes, I think I did make my point, however, I was addressing a question that was put to me, mon ami.

[ducksfan13]

congrats to philly for advancing, should be a great cup finals

[Still MIGHTY]

No offense, but if this is how Wild Wing MX reacts to the freaking Montreal Canadiens losing, I fear for the actual framing and codework of the board should the Ducks win the Cup again

Oh how I wait for that glorious day. I'll be the one droppin' down from the rafters on a cable at the Honda Center. ...

[DropThePuck]

Richards got a step on Roman Hamrlik in an effort to chase down a hopeful clearing pass by Claude Giroux, which forced a desperate attempt by Montreal goalie Jaroslav Halak to play the puck at the top of the faceoff circle to his left.

Amazingly, all three players arrived at the puck at the same time in a startling collision that sent the puck further toward the Montreal goal. Richards somehow picked himself up, claimed the loose puck and deposited it in the vacant net before anyone else on the ice could react.

<NHL.com recap>

"When your season's over, it's tough to swallow," defenseman Josh Gorges said. "We came up short. It's tough.

"I think in a few days' time, when this all soaks in, we'll be able to realize some of the steps that we made and the progress that we made as an organization. Right now, it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. All we're thinking about is the loss."

Sure, it stings now. It may remain painful until after the Stanley Cup Final has concluded. But at some point this summer, there's little doubt that the Canadiens will feel proud of what they accomplished. Their postseason was supposed to last no more than five games. Instead, they won a pair of Game 7s and ended the seasons of Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby prematurely.
