Canadiens beat Bruins in game 7 and advance to the Conference Finals.

A shame Price got hurt in the next round. I truly believed he was going to get us a cup that year but it wasn’t meant to be. But beating the Bruins was so, so sweet. They were cup favourites that year and we kicked their ass. The best was Don Cherry screaming about ‘poking the bear.’ Lucic throwing a tantrum in the handshake line was another highlight. What a series.

Here’s a look back down memory lane for those who want a good laugh.

Porn will go up in Boston again, Canada's team victorious!

Bergy my man!!!! :handclap::handclap: Congrats to us all:handclap:

I believed too...

Yeah but we at least kicked Boston’s ass. Revenge for 2011 and they were cup faves too. Nobody expected us to win that series.

Saw game 7 on the jumbotron at the Bell Center, then went to buy something at the Dix30 Sail the next day and actually saw Carey and chatted with him for a few minutes. My friends are convinced I jinxed him and cost us a cup that day, can’t help but feel the guilt even 10 years later

Geez folks, it’s supposed to be a happy thread. You guys are bringing me down.

I was so happy when we won this. Just awesome.

it was one of the best hockey moment I had a as fan honestly, I remember the 3 goals (Weise, Pacioretty and Briere) like it was yesterday. Just sucks it was kinda the last time Carey was fully healthy. Ok now back to the happy thoughts

f*** Chris Kreider.

That was a wonderful series with all the trolling Dale Wiese did and Subban's beautiful quote before game 7:

"I can't wait for the crowd, the noise, the energy in the building. I can't wait to take that all away from them."

This quote was amazing and almost ignored by the hockey world
Could never understand why

I had no problems when Subban was later traded for Weber, but when we had him he was fun to watch.

It was glorious. And Weise flexing after scoring...

One of the best playoff players we ever had. He actually put up playoff points at a higher rate than Claude Lemieux did. Super clutch player.

Interesting.

Why, did you say something to him like, "hope no one skates into your knee next round!"?

 

[Scintillating10]

We would win cup that year if not for Kreider

 

[Michelangelo]

f*** kreider

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

The Kreider hit might have been the Darkest Day in Habs history

 

[Andy]

The Subban goal coming out of the box....damn, what a moment.

It’s not a popular opinion (I still don’t get it tbh) but getting Thomas Vanek really solidified our offense and he was a big reason for our success during his brief stint with us.

Michou did him dirty by reducing his usage against the Rangers in the ECF. He should have been working with him instead of punishing him.

Great thread! Reading it brought me back to posting in it! We were so obsessed with this back then....or maybe it was just me!

That’s the year I had the most trust that we could win the cup, especially when we acquired Vanek. Pretty sure we would have pass NYR with Carey.

Imagine if we had a real #1 Center

 

[Canadienna]

I've been a Habs fan my whole life, but that team was the one who really got me into following the team like it's my day job.

That 2014 team was alot of fun to watch in the playoffs. They played with alot guts and left it all on the line. You had your stars, but one of the first names I think of is Mike weaver, who just symbolized what that team was about.

The kings were too much that year, but they would have taken out the Rangers and advanced to the finals with price.... heck they went 6 with tokarski, who wasn't bad for the most part, but he really struggled transitioning pucks to dmen, and you just can't play the same way with the same confidence infront of him.

I was the only poster calling out Bergevin for his ridiculous dance and the only poster admonishing the board and the City to relax because we hadn't won a thing yet. Everyone and Ginnette Reno rode into that afternoon game against the Rags on a high and totally unprepared. The results were bad enough we were getting smoked and then Kreider became our Kryptonite. It was all over in a flash.
We weren't beating LA that year anyways.
