And this right here is what worries me, as good as Kessel is (without him there would have been no post season).  :-\

I think Brystine is saying this based on how the team is playing lately. That, AND we only won the season series 3-2 I think. Years ago Ottawa beat Toronto in every regular season game only to be swept in the playoff matchup. So that doesn't mean a whole lot. I think the media made too much...

Newsflash. I wasn't ripping Phil Kessel. I was just hoping that our BEST player is at his best or almost his best before a few important games called the playoffs. Without him this team would be nowhere. So a fan comment questioning certain buried deep in a fan thread questioning certain...

MotM Kessel, although I hear that his turnover caused the game to be 3-1 Habs? Didn't see it so someone fill me in.  8)

True. Must try to be positive. Just want them to play better and give it more of a chance. But even further than that, I hope this is the start of a good cycle for this team for years to come and won't be dismantled or loose a couple of their key players in a year or so (ie Kessel). Must have...

Kind of scary if he's tired right before the playoffs especially in a slow game like that. And I'm saying that as a fan of his. I hope he's in ok condition, but of course I'm in no position to comment on that. Ha. And I agree I hope that he wouldn't play too much hardball with TO as he did...

Ok so who will Toronto be "playing" in the first round? Or do we know yet? No matter, we know what the result will be.

Well said.

I have a feeling that Kessel no longer wants to be on this team. I'm sure he's tired of carrying the scoring for years on a loosing team. Although he's not really a team guy or a complete player, and there's been questions about his conditioning, the crap he has taken in the media this year...

I almost wish this team wasn't in the postseason now. It's gonna be painful, and short.

Outshot, outplayed. This team isn't playoff ready. :( 75% increase in ticket prices for THIS? No respect for their fans. Oh well. Out in the first round.

This is what happens when Lupul chirps that the Leafs are "bigger and stronger" than the Habs, and that they want to play them in the playoffs. Way to jinx it there, Lups. And why is that after Kessel scores that the team stops playing? I hope he gets one more here but it doesn't look good...

Phil Kessel doesn't look as happy when he score goals as he did before. Smile dude you have 20 goals this shortened season! Or maybe he's just being all business before the playoffs?

Thanks for the update. How did Cherry come across this subject? Did the actual guys in the dressing room raise the issue? Otherwise, it ain't Cherry's to raise. And that whole men in the women's room makes him sound like the dirty old perv that he is. If that's what he said. Ugh 2-1 Habs

What is Cherry saying? Not watching the game. I remember an old video about Cherry yapping about women yapping at hockey games. Hahaha hypocrisy at its finest!

Yes, I do agree that is worse. However I like when Habs trash talk so I can gleefully curse them.  8) And I hope Kadri heard the statement.  ;D

I wish Joffry Lupul would not trash talk MTL, saying that hsi team is bigger and stronger, etc. Nothing like lighting a fire under your opponents A$$. Never underestimate your opponents, no matter how many time you've beaten them in the regular season. Playoffs are always a different story.

I wonder why Carlyle is being mum on exactly when Bozak got his apparent "upper body injury"? He only said something about him being injured in the past week, even when asked if it was during the Tampa game. I know that Carlyle isn't known for being forthcoming, but something seems strange...

Pardon me if I stray off topic:  :) I hope that for all his success this season that Phil Kessel doesn't disappear during the playoffs. He had two good goals last night...against a very weak team. I just know that if he does go awol, he'll be shipped out of here in the off season if MLSE knows...

Reimer and Kessel should share the award!  :D HM: Kadri  8)
