I was NEVER wrong about the Habs....

f\*\*k seriously, Don Cherry hates the habs - he's a notorious Leaf fan but those french fvcks in Quebec call in and whine to the CBC that he is a Leaf lover so he threw the habs a bone. Good for Cherry but he only said it to make you habs fans feel better and not jump off a bridge.

fatty now you understand what Pucker & I were up against.

The Islanders would have won the cup if Dipietro didn't get hurt too.

007Fatty · 04-20-09, 09:05 PM

haha i understood before
but you guys are just fighting it out lol

The General · 04-20-09, 09:05 PM

Your confidence is a good thing, Nicky. I hope they come back.

sickler · 04-20-09, 09:05 PM

What a crock of shit, especially the part about Markov.

NHL's best defenceman was on the ice tonight, big #33

Agreed, but like I said and you as a fellow Canadian already know those in Quebec are a fragile bunch, they love to complain, so Cherry was being kind to them.

Cherry is a Leaf fan, that fact is quite well known.

The habs only "success" against the "B's" was scoring the opening goal in game three, they were inferior at every other moment in this series.

sickler · 04-20-09, 09:18 PM

I doubt Grapes said Markov is the best in the NHL. It's someone else's fantasy.

He might tarnish the image that jj and him and are trying to pass over on you guys if he actually admits he's a complete ignoramous. The guy's a fukkin tool.

Nicky will the Habs be good next year?

element1286 · 04-20-09, 09:25 PM

Pretty weak response, Nicky.

yisman · 04-20-09, 09:29 PM

so if you knew this, why did you keep repeating the lie before the playoffs?

Nicky, how many times did you say this was the best Habs team since 1977, that they would win the Cup, and that you would be fondling the Cup with your camera?

Yes, they will win the cup next season.

Robert Lang is a hero to a lot of young lads in this World.

sickler · 04-20-09, 11:17 PM

Yeah, Robert Lang...he of the star stats. Check out those Gretzky-like career numbers.

pavyracer · 04-20-09, 11:20 PM

Nicky is never wrong...Never!

sickler · 04-20-09, 11:22 PM

Lang is also 38 yrs old. Not much left in the tank for a career "average" player labeled a "star".

He's had only one 30 goal year.

reno cool · 04-21-09, 01:15 AM

it's ok to be wrong Nicky. Until they change the rules skill teams like Montreal are ****ed.

Nicky Santoro · 04-21-09, 01:18 AM

reno buddy, if habs stayed healthy all year, they would have won the cup. i was not wrong.. today, another 2 big name players were added to the injury list. more than half the roster were filled with guys i'd never heard of before the season began..it was like a junior A team out there.. had they been healthy, and Price played like the price we all expected, they would have won the cup..

yisman · 04-21-09, 01:23 AM

you were very wrong. And you can't change your argument now. You said the current team would win the Stanley Cup, guaranteed.

If they had a good team, they would've had a chance to win the Cup. They didn't. Price of 07-08 is not Price of 08-09. You knew that. He got his sorry ass benched.

If the Islanders stayed healthy and their decent players didn't turn to crap, they would've made the playoffs.

VegasDave · 04-21-09, 01:39 AM

All year you talked shit Nicky, and if the Habs did win it all you would have never in a million years let us hear the end of it. But now they are getting dominated by a team they have OWNED for years, and this is when you finally say that you knew all along that they WEREN'T the best Habs team since 77?

When Markov got injured, right then and there you should have said "there goes our cup run, sorry fellas, I was wrong"... You woulda taken some slack but I have no beef with that considering how important he is to the team. Instead, you wrote the injury off as insignificant and continued to tout this as the greatest team since 77 even with out him. This thread is too little too late.

Nicky Santoro · 04-21-09, 01:50 AM

i'll continue to say it.. this was the best habs team put together since 1977 and had they stayed healthy, i would be at that parade in 2 months on ste catherine street.

a little frustrated dave about the nicky santoro curse? Now i'm going to pray to the gambling GODS to make it worse for you.. wait till you see how your bets turn out 6 months from now, you traitor.. i still can't believe you gave me that infraction....

Sorry Nicky, you can't flip this thread to be about my "curse". This is about you being flat out wrong in the declaration you made over 100+ times all season.

You can't wait until your team is down 0-3 to make excuses. "If they stayed healthy" is silly... very few NHL teams stay healthy. Plenty of Stanley Cup teams over the years have won games with key players missing time. The best Habs team over the last 32 years should have the depth to handle injuries.

But even if we accept injuries as the culprit, why are you only backtracking now when down 0-3 Nicky?

Whats ironic is that despite being under this curse which makes everything you pick and root for a loser, I have somehow managed to watch and cheer for the Bruins and win 3 straight times, and my Boston in 5 is looking pretty good

tacomax · 04-21-09, 02:47 AM

The Nicky curse is not some made up bullshit by a forum poster story-teller. Even the Habs couldn't overcome the Nicky curse, they were transformed from Stanley Cup champions into an absolute shower of shit - the Nicky curse is that powerful.

yisman · 04-21-09, 02:58 AM

tullamore just hit 2,000 posts.

Nicky, congratulate him.

There were 11 players tonight in the lineup who weren't even there when the year started. they were kids i had never heard of in my life. This was NOT the way it was supposed to be.

Also, since you claim to know over 1000x more about hockey than anyone else on the board, I find it a bit surprising that you don't know 11 guys in your favorite team's pipeline?

TodaysAction · 04-21-09, 06:07 AM

With all due respect, injuries are a part of the game and teams have it happen to them in all sports so I don't buy what you're trying to sell. Trying to force a square peg into a round hole will not work. Perhaps you need to remove your blinkers and really look at 'your' team for what it is. While they're not officially out of the playoffs, they don't have much to stand on and if they have any PRIDE in the team's jersey they will put forth an effort good enough to win game four of the series. I know you're wrong on this one bud, admit it and people will move forward - just my two cents on the matter.
