really...thats dissapointing...

Read my last post..

Gonchar has also passed Komi.

The whole thing is NHL-rigged anyway

Common guys what happen we let up again!!! Come mon guys their are more of us then their are Pens fans.

Step it up guys don't get lazy... its just 7 more hrs of your life Vote Vote Vote Vote Vote...

We are down and we got a game tonight we are at a huge disadvantage.. We need to blitz this like we nevear have before.




that attitude will defeat you.. Don't give up..

We can beat them.. We can beat the NHL too... JUST VOTE YOUR BUTTS OFF!!!!!

VOTE VOTE VOTE AND SPREAD THE WORD!!!

NHL has this rigged... that's why I've said ban the game and everything to do with it but no one else wants too

what ticks me off is when we take the lead its slow and gradual.. They just take it back instantly and with a huge lead. They are doing something else that we don't know about.




Just keep voting!!!

to me, it seems like this txt msg doesnt work at all because we would have much bigger number of votes. While we vote with that method, we don,t use the safe way and no votes are going to Price. This massive vote for Fleury is ridiculous, even he must say *****, I don't really deserve to go there

During our games we seem to get a lot of votes quickly

Fleury gained 32 000 votes in the last hour while Price only gained 12 000...

Anyone wanna bet 2$ Price will be back ahead or only down like 1 000 votes at the next update?

If you ask me, I believe the NHL gave way too long a time period for fans to vote.
This should have been maybe a 1 week thing, in that case most of the casual fans will go and vote, and in 1 week's time things like scripts or whatever won't have time to develop.

Ah well, for now we just gotta keep voting.

i don't think textjunkies work.....I tried to txt my cellphone and nothing....

Penguins Report: Gonchar Back on the Ice:
http://penguins.nhl.com/team/app/?service=...rticleid=401499

It's all a set-up. Gonchar will be playing in the All-Star game. Bettman's gonna waive " ...that silly 20-game rule; he's played nearly 1,000 NHL games".

Meanwhile, the NHL is drafting the press release already:
" fan voting a total success .... participation.... umpteen lead changes throughout the final day .... come from behind .... X million votes cast the final week .... bla bla bla ...."

Don't get discuraged just Vote!!!

You're starting to sound like me!! NHL brass has their own version of "scripting"....

How does Fleury get around 32,000 votes in the past hour...
this is ridiculous

folks you don't have to stop freetxt to enter the number just click on the front edge of the box rather then the middle. This way you use the plug in an loop it.


Tell the french side and somebody post the instructions again..

EVERYONE start useing freetxt it works and install the plug in togther we can do this thing.

This "the NHL is rigged" theory doesn't hold much weight for Gonchar and MAF, yes maybe they'd rig it to get Crosby or Malkin in but there's no way they'd rig it to get MAF in over Carey IN Montreal.

The Pens fans are cheating somehow or doing something but I have a very hard time believing the NHL is rigging this.

just tried http://freetxt.ca/index.php in IE7 and tried to text me cellphone and nothing so i'm not sure if that works either....

agreed but all we can do is keep voting and spreading the word!!!its just over 5 hours left come mon guys lets do this!!

textjunkies won't work for you because it is for american cell phones, so it only sends texts to american cells.
but it might work for voting...

you have to select your own provider in order to get the text your self

I say keep the texting loops running, but put in manual votes and/or real texts at the same time.

it's pretty much the whole usa vs our little ''belle province''

I'm sure people are voting for fleury even if they're not pens fans, just so we can't have the most player in the lineup

including: ".... Gonchar even though he is injured had pushed one of the Montreal defensemen out of a spot....."


and direct from the "Pen Front Office" today (a personal reach out / request), a 1/2 hour ago at 2:07pm:

(hhhmmm, let's see, Bettman phones Pens org to tell them to "do some recorded encouraging of your fan base", then Bettman ups the Pittburgh player vote counts. Sounds all kind of suspicious / overly-coincidental to me)

aside, ... my personal fav .....:

guys change your rate plans to unlimited texting.. it will cost some cash but you can always change it back.. then set up like 10 conatcs with 81812 as the number send a mass text and then keep repeating..

Seems kind of dumb to do it now rather than weeks ago... I already have unlimited texting though so I'll continue voting like crazy.

I think i'm gonna go on the Flyers' forum to tell them that their biggest enemy are currently taking over the votes and that they should vote for the other Habs. I bet the Maple Leafs are doing the exact same thing and are voting for the Pens to make our life a nightmare

As much as Philly hates Pittsburgh, I don't think they'd waste much time voting for us either.

I already have unlimited texting so I've been texting like crazy!!

yeah, i've been tracking the numbers, writing them down since yesterday, and it's been a smooth fairly even flow up and down,
until the last update. MAF got---31877 votes...carey got---11941 , gonchar recorded, 18782 votes MORE than komi, somethings fishy....

I'm from Belleville, Ontario -

my city has a french name though, so does that count for anything ?

non

never give up guys let's go.

I've already given up and turned my attention to getting Jancevski into the AHL allstar game.

VOTE JANCEVSKI!!!!

Something fishy is going on, but I highly doubt the NHL themselves has anything to do with it - otherwise Ovechkin would be in over Kovalev & Price would be in over Fleury. The very idea that a guy who hasnt even played a single minute of hockey this season could be out ANY of the other defensmen on that list is an embarrassment to the game.

Price down by 8k now, and komi down by 5k, looks like we're pushing back.

Gotta go strong!

don't give up Price and Komi deserve better then to get beaten by a guy who isn't even playing and another with a gaa near 3.00.

CMON GUYS DONT QUIT

Did the Habs quit when they were down 2 games to none against the Nordiques in the 93 playoffs no we fought back and won the cup!

We can do this!

You're right! Did we quit last season when we were down 3-1 to Philly? Nope! Sure, we lost, but we played pretty spirtited! WE CAN DO THIS

Take the time to set up (duplicate) 10, 20 or 100 addresses for '81812' group them, and then draft (save as draft) the text message 'Canadiens', and just keep recalling the draft and resending it to the group -- 10/20/100 votes every few seconds. That's what the Pens, Ducks and Hawks fans have been doing (but for their teams ).


... just don't keep hitting the posts ....

This is crazy Fleury had 32 000 votes and Price 12 000 votes last update, and now the two goalies have the same number of votes with 14000. This is weird.

Fleury: 1368603
Price: 1360165

Gonchar: 1254336
Komisarek: 1248276

Rangers 5 Canadiens 0

did we give up?

vote vote vote

updates
Price with 1,360,000 approx
Fleury with 1,368,000 approx

still down by 8,000

habs fans, assemble!

Let's get some other teams on our side.

EDIT : Sorry I lost the source : http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_dadd...?urn=nhl,130739

Price is the only one capable of being voted in at this point. That means two of the other five have a decent chance of being selected. If Fleury makes it in, Price goes back into the pool, giving everyone else less of a chance. When it comes to selections, hometown will add weight to Price's statistics. The other goaltenders only have the statistics to speak for them.

My money is on Price being selected even if he doesn't get voted in as the starter. If Fleury is voted in, that makes the East goaltenders Fleury, Price and gives your favorite goaltender a 1/5 chance. When you add in Luongo or any other respected goaltender, those odds drop even further.

If Price doesn't make the ASG... I can't imagine the "reception" MAF would get. It would not be pretty.

Did we quit when we were down 3 games to 1 against.
Boston in the 04 playoffs no no we didnt

Big Jean is going to be announcing the players who are in the starting lineup at the All-Star Game.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=401540

It would be a bloodbath.

J Haul: Sons of the Official Habs Forum, I am J Haul.

Short soldier (graeme): J Haul is 7 feet tall.

J Haul: Yes, I've heard. Kills Fleury's by the hundreds, and if he were here he'd consume the Penguins with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his [behind]. I am J Haul, and I see before me an army of my habs fans here in defiance of all star tyranny. You have come to fight as Price fans, and Price fans you are. What would you do without Carey Price? Will you fight (text)?

Tall soldier (roy_133): Fight (text) against that? No, we will run, and we will live [with an undeserving MAF as eastern all star starter].

J Haul: Ay, fight and you may die [of embarrassment from falling short], run and you'll live [with MAF, knowing that the Pens fans cheated him in there]. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our Carey!!!!!!!!
