Life is tough. How'd you swing that deal?
The Mazda looks pretty good.

Calgary finally had a game where they played with the Wings and actually outplayed them at points. In the first 2 games I thought I was watching a siege.
Montreal-- I am disappointed-- They had the game and should be back in the series --- How the heck they can allow folks to stand right in front like that in the last minute shocks me .. . .You flatten the guy-- ALWAYS-- you may not get a penalty and even if you would be called , the ensuing faceoff is another opportunity to win a draw and kill the clock

Even as a fellow Habs fan, my response is: the hell.
Calgary is a team that absolutely never quits. Sutter simply won't tolerate any slack play from anyone on his roster. Markov, Rivet, and Souray would've been riding pine games ago if he'd been coaching Montreal; never mind what he'd have done to Ribiero at various points in the season, or anybody on the bottom two lines (save Bulis & Begin, and Ward before he got hurt). Fact of the matter is, Montreal's defense has been totally outclassed by Tampa's forwards, and the squad has managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory four times to date (games 2 & 4 against Boston, game 3 against Tampa, and an argument can be made for game 2 against Tampa and the last-second goal by Lecavalier in the second period that put that game away).
In retrospect, it's got to be pointed out that Boston was pathetic; it was only Montreal's own bumbling that made that series go seven games.
There were signs in games 2 & 3 that Montreal can play with Tampa, but the consistency isn't there. It'll be a couple of years, and a few cast-off deadwoods, before Montreal will be considered a true contender.

First, Boston wasn't pathetic. Raycroft did a strong job. They may not have been at their best, but both teams played (usually) good hockey - better than in any regular season game.
As for Tampa, things would have been different if Souray played at before-injury level and Quintal was there. Tampa was outplayed by Montreal in game 3, no question about that. Unfortunately, their forwards are so talented that they can afford to be outplayed and get away with the game by jumping on mistakes.
Many teams have won series - even the Cup - with a good coach, teamplay, and will to fight. Do you sincerely think that there was more talent in Montreal in 93 than right now?
You'll argue about Roy, I'm sure; but remember he had the best defense of the league to protect him. Plus Theo in his good days can reach a similar level. If only he could sustain it.

Sh!t, I don't even know what "mental representation" means let alone "Epistemological Consequences".
Tell the truth, you're really writing porn.
