Tomas Plekanek, brilliant all night, scored 45 seconds into the third period to give the Canadiens a 4-2 lead.
Done and dusted, right?
Wrong.
Ryan White’s idiotic double-minor opened the door to a Buffalo goal by Thomas Vanek.
The Buffalo sniper scored again off a wild scramble to tie it 4-4 with two seconds left.
No goals in OT, so on to the season’s first Shootout.
Vanek: Goal
Galchenyuk: GOAL!
Ennis: Save
Bourque: Save
Pomminville: Goal
Gionta: Save

Dammit
Nice one Gallagher!!! And look who was at the met Galchenyuk.
What a great shift by Gally and for those who say Prust has hands of stone…
“Et le but!”
That kid can shoot!
Come on Booner, show Budaj some love. He’s made four big stops since he let in that softy from Ott. He’s getting into the rhythm
come again ?!?!

i don’t know why they keep comparing Carey Price to God………i mean he’s good, but he’s no Carey Price.
spoke too soon! fermez la bouche
Nice work on the PK
Stay out of the box and win this one now

“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
He’s not perfect but I don’t get how some criticize Pleks and what he does at both ends of the rink?
Na Na Na Les Canadiens Les Canadiens
Plekanec is gold.
“Et le but!”
This will drain us with the back to back
Rink looks very dark on RDS streaming online.
This may sound stupid but how do you get RDS streaming online? I pay extra to get RDS HD on my cable package here in Toronto, does that entitle me to see streaming, or is there some separate charge?
“Et le but!”
Yikes. The 5 on 3 should have been 5 on 2: Gorges totally cross-checked Vanek.
Good PK, but too many penalties. Come on, guys, get focussed.
this is the dumbest thing i’ve read on this site in years.
Elaborate!
Maybe I said it dumbly, but I think my point was valid. During Buffalo’s 5-on-3, Gorges cross-checked Vanek, in the back, could easily have been called, would have been 5-on-2.
We’ve been killing penalties well, but we need to stop going to the box.
Is that less dumb? Or more?!
Stay out of the freaking box!!!!
I see a pattern here…

Does anyone ever really think we will score on a breakaway
Galchenyuk will.
Full Breezer 4 Life
He already missed one a few games ago.. we’re like 0 for 5 on the season or something
Let’s hope we never have to go to a shootout eh?!
Borque could have gotten his own rebound
5on 3 check. The shine of you Japan! Bodhisattva!
Crap call on Armstrong. I know it’s cliche to rag on referees … so why don’t they get better at their jobs so we don’t have to??
Full Breezer 4 Life
Sure he started it but two other Sabres jumped in on him after. How do you have none of those 3 guys accompany Armstrong to the box.
And I am not a big Armstrong supporter
“Et le but!”
If this game is teaching me anything, it’s that Buffalo stinks.
Good eye Budaj!

How does Peel give only Armstrong a penalty on that? Absolute bullshite!
Gorges drills Vanek, man #26 rocks
Budaj really scares boone haha, why are they playing like Boston really shook them up last night.
http://nickolaisblog.wordpress.com/
The Armstrong penalty is BS. 2 minutes for being the recipient of a Sabres headlock.

No worries Buda will save us
How was that a penalty when Armstrong was the one getting face washed?
Honestly, WTF are the refs smoking this year?
Well that’s a non-penalty.
Stupid call. No-one deserved anything for that.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Hmmm…reactions from MT about Armstrong will be???
Na Na Na Les Canadiens Les Canadiens
Armstrong 2 minutes for roid rage
B___shit

Amen!

Gallagher gets another chance he was benched there for a bit
They really have to protect Budaj from those tough 50ft along the ice wrist shots
Budaj is….exciting..lol
Plus side of the trade for Thomas is that he won’t have to worry about going to the White House ever.
Well done!
Full Breezer 4 Life
Tres Bien
If he was traded to a Canadian team and won the cup, he’d get his own room at 24 Sussex though!!!

When Cole said he was thinking about retirement that worried me that that attitude may carry over into the games. I got ripped on here for even mentioning it. Looks to me like he’s already retired but still collecting a pay check.
Mike Ribeiro should be on the all time hated list for this act alone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNw8ZZT8tOU
Budaj let in a softie, but improved as the period went on. It will be interesting to see if he can sustain that, and a very valuable experience for him and the team if he can.
Would anyone disagree that the Habs are playing the better hockey?
So Lars got to play with the two young pups. Does that make him Old Eller?
You crazy, wonderful blog!
If you stole that from the Disney movie it was intellectual Lars-eny.
I’m just glad those small kids have a line mate who is extra Lars.

Cole had a pretty slow start last year — let’s hope it’s the same this year.
People seem to forget that it took Cole a while to get on a hot streak last season
http://nickolaisblog.wordpress.com/
Most seasons.

It was probably right after jessica rusnak told JM that cole is better then darche.
It was indeed, lol.

Huh? Teabag Timmy left his Bunker?!!
Apparently Bob Cole is at the game, he thought it was Saturday Night, He thought Buffalo was Toronto, and now he is in the Canadiens dressing room demanding to talk to his son Erik
Haha
Full Breezer 4 Life
Either Cole is hurt or he’s floating like Gomez
Seems to be the trend in Montreal
Is there an update on Gorges?

So if Gorges is badly hurt does Tinordi get called up ?

The buffalo announcers are saying Budaj is shaky
and you disagree!
a rebound machine!

The cranial flatulence of PJ Stock:

He was fighting the puck for half the period, seemed to settle towards the end. Fingers crossed.
Boone Ennis’ hair is so Buffalo!
Reminiscent of Patrick Kane!

What, no Movie Stars at the game tonight?
well there you go… put the kids with a kid…
they’ll be out of the league within 72hrs if that continues…

Wow! That is some really bad hockey out there.
Is Eller playing alongside the rookies?
I’ve been waiting to see that line for a while now.
WTF MT is making adjustments in the middle of the game!!! We are being outcoached already.
The game started at 8:00?? (Atlantic time).
Well, balls. Anything interesting happen?

Desharnais. Wide open net!!!!!!!!!!!!
PK drives the net. He just can’t help it.
Uh oh…Gorges hurt?

Halak would have made a great backup to Price ….
you hijacked Halak’s stop sign from ’10 playoffs

If I were the Sabres I’d shoot at Budaj from everywhere. He looks really uncomfortable.
In the words of Clint Eastwood “shoot high”!

What’s a good backup cost these days?
Luongo is about 5.75 per season.
Best shift I’ve seen Eller play in a long time.
Stay away from my effing percocets…and do you have any effing percocets….

DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!
It’s time to put price in or a better back up
So basically Vanek gets stopped from getting a decent chance then Plek with a great goal then they score what a funny sequence. In serious note Budaj has to play 100x better or he wont have much Ice Time this season
http://nickolaisblog.wordpress.com/
Ice time? He should be in Hamilton at best!
