What will Nicky say when Boston eliminates Montreal in the first round?


When Nicky brags about his hockey knowledge he sure looks like an ass telling anyone who'll listen (onthewhat) that his home team will win the cup this year.

I'm wondering what excuses he'll make to justify his habs losing and how will he explain his idiotic rants about this being the best habs team in 30 years etc.

It should prove the guy is a homer and knows nothing about handicapping hockey.

For the record, the habs will lose the first round, Bostons Lucic has put the fear of god into many of the habs Europansy players and they would like nothing better than to run home to their mamas and avoid the Bruins altogether.

This is what Nicky is:

[VegasDave]

I'm thinking he will say that if Markov were healthy they'd have won.

[Nicky Santoro]

first of all, i am not a homer. check my history, this is the 1st time in my life betting on habs.. reason i did this year is this the best habs team put together since 1977.. and after this round, you will see how right i was when they beat bos in 6..

get ready to be depressed plommer. it's going to be a long spring for you watching the habs make it far.. i promise you they'll beat boston.. i don't come in here to hear myself talk or i don't come in here to sbr to watch sammy and bobby vids only. it's all business for me..

habs in 6.. enjoy the playoffs.

[MonkeyF0cker]

This team is going to make a run for it and you should have been betting this team from the start. 24-10 so far and are missing 4 of their top players due to injury.. just wait till they come back.. this team is underpriced every game and not betting them is like throwing free money away.. i am never wrong in hockey..

He's never wrong, Betplom. NEVER.

[Nicky Santoro]

you will see me standing next to this in 2 months when i film me at the parade for sbr to witness..

The Habs have ALWAYS owned the Bruins.... Remember in 03 i think it was when Boston was #1 seed and they lost to Habs in 1st round... It will happen again. Montreal is the toughest home ice to play against. They will steal 1 or 2 on the road and win there games at home

Nicky, the Stanley Cup resides in Toronto at the Hockey Hall of Fame, I take it you will be coming to Toronto to visit the hall of fame and have your picture taken with it?

History has zero to do with this series, believing the habs will beat Boston just because they have owned them in previous years is dangerous.

If anything it should motivate the Bruins to never let up on the habs, even when the Montreal players are begging for mercy and ready to start the golf season.

Don't kid yourself, Boston will totally dominate in physical play, there is only one possible outcome, Boston wins the series.

what do you think of the Leafs' chances? only way they can get the cup is in their HofF museum

[Boner_18]

I hope this is true. I have $100 on a +900 Bruins future. Looking for them to win a round or two before I take some off the board.

First round looks good for Boston.

I wagered a bit on the Bruins to win the cup as well.

Watching Montreal get beaten up by Boston will be fun.

Always?

Trivia question: In the last 7 playoff series between the Montreal Canadians and the Boston Bruins, do the Canadians have a winning or a losing record?

[Nicky Santoro]

how about in the last 32 yrs, or before the last 7 yrs.. it might be 18-0..

Why just the last 7? Look at the entire history pal... Habs fukkin tear them up

[5 star bomb]

[betplom]

You can celebrate your past wins over the Bruins all you want, this year the Bruins will be doing the celebrating at Montreals expense.

Seriously, are things so bad in Montreal that all you have is the past?

Try living in the now Nicky.

[tacomax]

how about in the last 32 yrs, or before the last 7 yrs.. it might be 18-0..

How many players from that period of 8-32 years ago are still on their respective teams? For someone who is a numbers guy (although only self proclaimed), you do talk a whole heap of shite.

[Willie Bee]

Nicky will say, "Go Blue & White! Leafs Nation Rules."

Now, listen to the fcukin' song!

[VegasDave]

The Canadians over the years had dominated EVERYONE. This isn't a Boston exclusive thing. There is a reason they have won more championships than any team in professional sports.

That said, Canadians fans have to come to terms with the fact that the Habs haven't won anything or even BEEN to the Eastern Conference championship in 15 years.

You are right on my friend.

15 yrs eh Dave, that is hard to take for a montreal fan, they were so used to winning.

As a long suffering Leaf fan I've gotten used to the losing, don't like it of course but it doesn't bother me anymore either, I know it does bother montreal fans - they have a habit of bringing up the past as a way of making themselves feel better.

I was around for both the Toronto World series wins, good times and everyone in Canada was cheering for the Jays, but I'm over the old championships, I'm interested (as most here are ) in the NEXT one, not the last one.

Montreal is different. they cling to the "old" days.

[Nicky Santoro]

i am NOT cheering for habs because i love them or am a big fan.. i dont care about all that.. this is all business. i am ONLY betting them because they are that good.. this is the best habs team put together since 1977.. and they will win the cup..

i can't wait till you all come back to me and say, nicky, you are a fukkin genius, how did you know.. i will finally get the respect from you deadbeat losers out there once and for all..

I have a little on that as well, along with Pittsburgh and San Jose.

Fun Fact:

Farthest a team has gotten into the playoffs -

Eastern Conference (last 15 years):

Boston Bruins - Stanley Cup Finals
Washington Capitals - Stanley Cup Finals
New Jersey Devils - WON Stanley Cup
Pittsburgh Penguins - Stanley Cup Finals
Philadelphia Flyers - Stanley Cup Finals
Carolina Hurricanes - WON Stanley Cup
New York Rangers - WON Stanley Cup
Montréal Canadiens - Semifinals
Florida Panthers - Stanley Cup Finals
Buffalo Sabres - Stanley Cup Finals
Ottawa Senators - Stanley Cup Finals
Toronto Maple Leafs - Conference Finals
Atlanta Thrashers - Quarterfinals
Tampa Bay Lightning - WON Stanley Cup
New York Islanders - Quarterfinals

Only the Thrashers and Islanders have failed to advance deeper than the Canadians.

Now granted, the Kings (much like the Leafs) SUCK, so it isn't like my team is any better. I'm just saying, you can't really deny that the Candians have been pretty useless in this era.

[betplom]

I have a little on that as well, along with Pittsburgh and San Jose.

Element, San Jose cost me alot last year in the playoffs, they alone cooled off my nice run of winning wagers and brought me back down to earth. I cannot cheer for them and only hope bad things happen to the Sharks.

Dave, those facts are no fun for me.

I do like the fact that it will likely be a long time before montreal wins another cup, imagine what habs fans say when its been 20+ years that the habs haven't won it?

I can hardly wait.

First lesson I learned when betting playoff hockey was to stay away from teams that can't score goals. San Jose, for whatever reason, didn't score any goals last year.

Element last year I had $6K on The Sharks in game 2 vs Dallas.

Sharks start the 3rd period up 2-1 and on the power play.

30 seconds in to the 3rd Sharks defenceman is skating alone up to his own blue line and falls down giving Brad Richards a breakaway and he scores the tying goal for Dallas, the Sharks fell apart in the third and lost 5-2.

My biggest bet ever looked very good after 2 periods, I was up over $14K on the playoffs and bet half my bankroll on San Jose.

I don't have anything but contempt for the Sharks. Go Ducks.

Blitty, I cringe every time I'm think of that game, it was the one time in my life I bet more than $2500 (and I haven't bet $2500 more than 4 times) and the Sharks fukked me up.

Montreal is toughest place to play in NHL

[Nicky Santoro]

fiver, you seem to know alot about hockey, and you are from chicago too. everything you say is spot on.. man, you know more about hockey than 93% of the canadian posters like plommer..

[betplom]

Montreal is toughest place to play in NHL

First two games are in Boston, so when Montreal returns home 0-2 it won't be such a tough place to play.

fman, you know more about hockey than 93% of the canadian posters like plommer..

I am NOT 93% of Canadian posters.

Nicky, I want to thank you for making Bostons demolition of your pansy team that much more enjoyable.
