1-1 in the philly habs series

I predicted the Habs wouldn't make it past round 2, wonder if I'll be right :p lol

to bad you are going to be wrong

Hope so... Sick and tired of hearing about them and their greatness when they can hardly beat so called "crappy teams".

tonights game was stolen from them, they deserved to win, not philly and boston thjey got cocky against them, woke up for game 7 against boston and you all saw what happened. Just like what happened during the regular season.

Wow, Franzen is kicking our ass! 5 goals in two games :no:

I'm definitely glad I picked him for my playoff fantasy pool. It was a risk, picking him a bit far up in the draft, but I really hoped that his goal-scoring tendencies would come through.

On another note, I am sorely disappointed with Friday's game that the Rangers played. Just awful.

That wasn't a charge? He took like 6 steps, a charge is only 3.

Habs are outplaying them? Philly has got out to 2-0 lead in EVERY GAME (or better)

I thought that the Habs were overrated even before the playoffs, that's why I called them losing in the 2nd round. I think a lot of people have unrealistic expectations for them. The Habs live and die by the power play, and their pp is really struggling. Another huge reason (that I also pointed out earlier, but got flamed) is that they have almost no size. They're getting pounded around by Philly and aren't as aggressive on the puck as they could be.

wow no he didn't. it called finishing your check, i know the canucks can't do that, but its what its called.

and wow yeah they are outplaying them, you really must not be educated. Look at the stats for the past four three games, who is leading in almost all of them (other then goaltending because price is choking):

See a trend?

And no the canadiens do not live or die by it, their powerplay has been fine this round, they have scored on the PP every game of this series. Thats pretty good. They scored more goals then anyone other team in the league, which tells you they must be pretty good on 5v5. How do they almost have no size? What philly is a powerhouse, they have like one big guy, hatcher? Komisarek is bigger then him. They are not getting pounded by them AT ALL, they are keeping up with them in physicality, just because philly likes to start scrums, doesn't make them tougher. Here, look at the hits for each game, look how close it is, they even had TEN more hits in game one and SEVEN more hits then them in game 3 and 2. THey are honestly OUT HITTING PHILLY! What are you watching?

Really, if you are going to say something, at least make sure you ain't talking out of nowhere, nothing you are saying is true other then the lead thing. You are just as uneducated as the majority of canucks fans...

Why go there with Canucks fans?

I'm not the one mud slinging. I've watched every Habs game this playoffs, so don't take your frustrations out on me.

I have nothing to prove to you, all I said earlier in this thread was that my prediction was that the Habs weren't making it past the 2nd round. It's not over yet, but they're going to have a hard time winning the series now.

Outplaying or not, it's called winning, and they aren't winning. Your goaltender(s) are being outplayed at the other end.

^ shut up... :(

Getting an early lead isn't a valid point?

Getting pounded physically isn't a valid point?

PP struggling isn't a valid point?

:unsure:

they are not getting pounded physically AT ALL and they PP isn't struggling anymore., if you are going to make a claim back it up like i did

You never backed anything up, you just posted a bunch of links. :rolleyes:

And their powerplay is struggling, they went 0-4 last game. Watch any playoff show and they'll tell you that MTL has to score more on the PP.

If you don't think they are getting pounded then you have a blind bias.

I can post links too see http://www.tsn.ca/columnists/bob_mckenzie/?id=236413

no dude, i straight up told you, and then i posted links to back it up, like you claimed philly was outhitting them, thats completely false, montreal has more hits then they do.

And who cares what the playoff show say, they just analyize stats to like i posted. Clearly you didn't look at anything of the score sheets i posted because you would have known that you were wrong, but you rather keep posting crap.

Montreal IS outplaying and outchancing Philly. We're winning in goalposts about 8-2. :p

I'm not liking the style of hockey played by the Flyers. They have a couple of great players who are doing their scoring, but the rest seem like a team of thugs. Boston played with far more class in that series. In the end of course, it all boils down to who wins. Philly is winning and will most likely go on to win the series, unless the Habs can pull off a repeat of 4 years ago.

How is the team with the most GA, the best PP and the almost best PK overrated? Seems like a silly thing to say. Anything can happen in the playoffs to make the regular season stats look out of place; why would this now seem odd to any of you?

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
