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.

Gonna sleep well tonight!
Can anyone else hear Don Cherry complain that we “ran up the score” in the home opener for the return of the Winnipeg Jets?
Big Buff is big, and nothing else tonight.
Watch JM’s face! I don’t think he is all that happy that Moen has gone off the reservation and is freelancing. I saw him tell Perry Pern that Habs have a “broken arrow!”
JM always gets that pinched look when the Habs score more then 3 goals…not in the System!!
Habs pulled this one out of their a**, I means hat…

Yes CBC Montreal is the better team.. Jeez this cheerleading by them is sickening,
Pow! MaxPac! Yippee!

I don’t know why you’d ever want Byfuglien on your team. He is probably the dumbest hockey player in the NHL.

now…if this were boston losing 5-1 to montreal, the thornton goonery line would play the rest of the game.
Habs fan…Nuff said
Yes!
OK, let’s save a few for next Thursday.
Perfect shot by Max Power — he needs that confidence.
Jets fans waited years for hockey to return, and now they may be heading for the exits
Patches!
Plan the parade!

Most plumbers are still better than anyone in your beer league by FAR. they just need more room than the top guys
Olé, olé, olé oleé
Lapierre scored tonight too?
Jacques Martin helped Moen find the inner top 6 forward in him. It took 3 seasons but it has happened!
lol jokes aside, beautiful goal!
Haha I love Moen and I love that he scored that goal, but to whoever claimed otherwise below: his hands are definitely not underrated!
Bad news for the Jets. Pricey is dialed in and the muckers are winning it for the Habs. What a game by the lunch pail gang. Take a bow grinders and pluggers! Take a bow!

Nice to see them keep the puck out of the net during that dirty plumbers goal mouth scramble.
Spinning, deking and scoring. Travis Moen is the bomb!!!
Travis Gretzky!!
Has Cole had a hit yet this year? honestly curious.
Moen is channeling Pleks! What was that?!!

Emelin almost had and og… What is an og?
own goal
original gangsta…..
But it still sounds dirty.
Own Goal
Olé, olé, olé oleé
Antropov is on the hit list
Simpson called webber 5’6
Olé, olé, olé oleé
Did Healy never use his blocker?
Actually no! You shot on Healy’s blocker and it was in the net vefore he knew what happened!
vefore = very before!
DD has limitations, but he’s decent of faceoffs and a terrific passer on the PP with time and space.
I’d reward him with some time with Cole and MaxPac – two big wingers who need passes on the tape to get back into it. C’mon JM… Make it happen.

DD was 27% on faceoffs vs leafs.
DD > Gomez
maybe it’s because of his matchups and ToI management, but I’s give him a shot too, and center Gio and Max for sure.
Well, the one thing about the injuries that I view as a positive is that a lot of guys are going to be thrown into the deep end of the pool. If management thought they are good enough to be Habs, they should be good enough to go now.
Simpson is a real piece of work, so is the whole CBC for that matter. Simpson calling for penalties agains tthe Habs and making no mention of the penatlies that the Jets should be getting.
To you from failing hands we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high.
- Emelin, Diaz and Weber stepped up big time.
- Price: EXCELLENT!
…Price incredible today …best I’ve seen Him play since last season

good point
This looks like the beginning of a great rivalry, but next year aren’t Jets playing in the West?
Fun third period! Martin must be furious.
It’s the refs that are taking the hitting out of the game
DD has some heart!
Canadiens management should make a complaint to NHL headquarters about the officiating on the Jets’ goal. That was practically a goaltender mugging in the crease. The Canadiens ought not to be meek about that gross noncall.
getting our defense pounded into submission only two games into the year, and our captain gets run, but no, we don’t need to get tougher. But hey, at least we’re winning. And lets be honest, kane did us a favor on Spatches
Emelin needs to rock a Jet crossing the blueline
Habs have been really lucky with at least two calls tonight. Refereeing is very suspect.
…and Weber earns a permanent spot on the PP.
Oh, Webber is not that bad. Oh.
Have to admit, Habs have been lucky with the penalty calls. Some missed calls that should’ve been called on habs and ones called on the Jets that shouldn’t have been like that last one.
Yea Webber!! Tough shit Peggers! That’s what you deserve for cheap shotting Gionta!!
Sal from the Hammer
DD can’t make anything happen on the PP. I’ve seen enough of him on the first PP unit.
He has an assist on the PP so far.
Like seeing Pax go to the dangerous space in front of the net.
VEBBAH!!!!
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
refs are killing the buzz in this barn, shame on them. I’m glad we’re winning but not like that
Olé, olé, olé oleé
Okay boys, beware of make-up calls!
Boo-hoo on a cheap call ! Cry me a river. How many of those did we get ?
