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 reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By seeprime · Posted

      I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Spark99 · Posted

      My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By monterxz · Posted

      I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
