Not exactly a warm welcome back to the NHL.
Down two starters, the Canadiens romp to a 5-1 win.
Three unanswered goals in the third period broke a tight game open.
After losing Jaro Spacek and Mike Cammalleri in the first period, the undermanned Canadiens rallied with opportunistic scoring.
Every goal was a highlight reel job, including a Travis Moen breakaway.
Before he got hurt, Cammalleri scored the Canadiens’ first goal of the season.
First PP goal was a Yannick Weber laser.
Carey Price made 30 saves. Don Cherry called him the best goaltender in the world … and he coached Gilles Gilbert.
And the PK pitched another shutout … including a 5-on-3.

Go Habs!
sry have to be at bit cruel but i do like those injurys of Spacek and Campoli a little because now Martin has no choice to do his “nonsens” and he needs to start emelin, weber and co. where they belong.
yep! just like how he had no choice to play subban last year…
———-
hip-check!
I believe Michael Scott’s character from the office was based on Jackie Martin.
Chris F do I ever agree!!
A win! Awesome, but again we were physically over matched.
Spacek, he simply can’t get it done physically anymore. He was good in Buffalo four years ago, and in Edmonton. Not now, I believe Weber is the much better option.
I’m happy Emelin has gotten a chance. The injuries have given him a chance, and I think he’s sorely needed, he’s young, has some size, and can push back. I like it.
We have zero forecheck. We score by creating turnovers with our speed, against a D like the jets, this can work.
Price is awesome.
Gionta gets pummelled, and nobody on the ice is able to stick up for him. I read a comment from someone saying the best way to make a team pay is to score on the powerplay, yes, but what happens when our entire team to too beat up to play. Our captain, who is 5’7″, should not get drilled without some kind of pay back. This would not happen on any other team.
Hope Cammy is back soon. That shot was off the charts.
What the hell happened with Betts? Brutal.
Now you can see Burke at every game televised, sickening. I guess he’s trying to get Evander Kane for a fourth rounder.
Subban should not have to fight or be any form of enforcer, our D needs help, we need just one friggin guy who can get people OUT OF THE DAMN CREASE!!!!
That Travis Moen goal is the the only thing that mattered in tonight’s game. That goal deserves a ten minute youtube video and a commemorative ceremony every year on it’s anniversary.

why is everyone so concerned about Betts. The only thing he has going for him is size other than that he’s another 4th liner. another scorer would be our best move but I don’t see any to be had.
He would be a great alternative to have as a fourth line center who can be great on the PK. With the dsplay of Moen’s silky paws tonight, it makes Betts look like a less viable alternative.
faceoffs, faceoffs, faceoffs and one thing we don’t have size! This guys wins more draws than Steckel and is twice the player and a guy who has size and can win draws in all situations, gives us possession and since in the words of jackie martin we are a possession team, this is something we need, since we aren’t willing to give up some first rounders to get an actual first line center and keep scott gomez. I wonder how long it will be until we pull a Wade Redden and send gomez to the Hammer.
And the season’s first Boone reverse-jinx works like a charm, soothing all the naysayers off the HIO site, save the grit and sanders.
Good individual efforts for goals. It’s a shame Gio didn’t plant that open netter.
Price was solid as a rock, but needs to be a little more Billy Smith. Until then, the bodies will continue to be piled upon him.
Next!
For what it’s worth G-Man the Habs responded well when the Jets laid the body on them. They’ll need to bury their chances, keep their heads up and play a smart physical game to survive another 80 games unscathed though.
Spacek’s injury was tonight’s silver lining on the dark cloud of more injuries as it gave Diaz, Emelin and Weber a chance to shine.
It’s all over the message boards and even Boone concurs. There is a physicality element on the club that needs addressing, and I am not talking goon or enforcer.
Emelin was excellent in this regard.
I will credit the smaller Habs with tenacity and intelligence out there and that will serve them well if they can continue to play that way for 60 minutes a game moving forward. IMO they still need some heavy hitting in support.
Many posters here agree, that the Habs need to make more moves in this direction of adding a physical dimension to their roster and game. It can be done without sacrificing the speed and skill game and as can scoring more goals be achieved while maintaining a solid and efficient defensive posture.
No Pacioretty love tonight? He scores in his first game back after having his neck broken!
Second, he played in Toronto.
That’s debatable.

nice bounce back win for the habs. habs get outshot but price plays big. An experienced team wins big….thats all that matters.
this injury bug is unreal..christ.
I thought the team played very hard, played smart and showed they are a bunch of pros. That bldg was crazy and the composure Price and the rest of them played with was impressive. Emelin looked fine for his 1st ever NHL game, weber stepped up his play also. Funny how this team responds too adversity.
We cannot affordbto have Cammy out long term, that 1st goal was HUGE!
Would like to see more physicality from Cole and MaxPac
I;m just wondering if betts was “actually” hurt, or if he didnt like some player on the team or the city itself, its weird, but I tried to look for an interivew with him since the trade and there is nothing, could he have been pissed montreal picked him, and refused to play, and montreal just made a cover up by saying he didnt pass a pshyical?
I was looking forward to having him, guess enquivst is impressing JM
don’t think most of what you say is possible. if your picked up you belong to that team not your choice. Also this will now cause cap/roster issues in philly. I posted an article on this earlier. But I do agree there was something smelly about it.
Here on the lovely island of Ibiza, I must say it’s great to get some hockey and see the Habs roll out the first W of the season. I am wondering however how this mgmt team and Jackie Martin keep their jobs. Today Betts was sent back to Philly. I mean these guys have scouts and scouting reports don’t they know these things. Now we are short of D-Men and we pick up Wowyikta just to lose him? Then we go get a minor leaguer D. I mean some of these decisions are very bush league. Let’s not forget the money we gave to Markov for 2 years and the guys is not even skating at the moment. How does this just happen to be the situation. Yes he had some swelling, but when I guy is coming back on rehab and in camp, don’t you get the best people to evaluate him to make sure you can even send him out to skate? Beyond me to understand. Our cornerstone of defence may not even play anytime soon and no plans were even put in place, its not like you can have too many d-men. Not to mention, no effort to make any deals to get any. Yet we give away Wiz and Hammer. I know why all this happened, because of cap etc, but there has to be some method to the madness of where we are going and under what leader. We lose Muller as a coach, we lose Boucher even worse and we are stuck with the incapable of winning anything outside of regular season Jackie Martin. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Habs and injuries and all the boys played with so much heart and were awesome! but heart alone and Carey keeping us in games is not a road to the Stanley Cup. Go Habs Go! Oh by the way there is a beach here on the island called Cala Carbo!!! I have yet to go there, but when I do, I will take pictures of the sign and the beach for all the Habbies out there!!!
Ok im confused….is the sky still falling or no?????
Is the end of the world still happening ….. do i need to cancel my curse of scabbies on JM.
All in all a good effort … Pricey almost looked bored. Emelin played solid and was great down low. Diaz was good and really the team was good all around. Now lets build and move on.
