If it wasn't for Gainey they wouldn't have been in the tournament also. Carbonneau wasnt a really good coach
This game is not about coaches, nor about players, it is about having the biggest goalie to block the net.
Now it is going to be habs in 6 and after then next game it is going to be the habs in 7.
The Bruins were the better team. Congrats to them and particularly to coach Claude Julien, who's excellent and was unfairly let go in his last 2 jobs (including Montreal ). In the Habs' defense, the team was decimated with injuries: Markov, Tanguay, Bouillon, Schneider, etc. The good news is there are 10 unrestricted free agents: Time for a cleanup!
I'll be rooting for the Flames and Canucks (with their French-Canadian coach and Montrealer team Captain/Star Goalie ) for the rest of the series.
