Liveblog: Canadiens blow two-goal lead in third, lose in Shootout

160909240_slide

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

    the ref could still see the puck?

  2. JohnBellyful says:

    Will the Buffalo fans choose White as second star?

  3. on2ndthought says:

    so much for goalie interference, f$#@!#$%$ Ott

    Three hills apart great armies stir
    Spit oath and curse as day breaks
    Forming lines of horse and steel
    By even yards march forward.

    Are there any unsigned UFA’s that could fill in on the 4th line with minimal cap hit?

    Cole giveaway again

  12. on2ndthought says:

    its not just that White is there, we miss Moen and his steady play

    Three hills apart great armies stir
    Spit oath and curse as day breaks
    Forming lines of horse and steel
    By even yards march forward.

  13. habs_54321 says:

    anyone else notice pacioretty really struggling with his shot so far this year? he seems to have a problem getting it to the net and when it does it doesn’t have the zing of last year

  14. Mavid says:

    oh and Cole does not suck…some of the comments on here make me shake my head

  15. Stormin says:

    Morph DD and White together with a brain and then we have a center

  16. Mavid says:

    what the hell…just tied DD up in a knot…no call..

  17. Mavid says:

    I love White..he had a couple of brain farts..he will learn..I would much rather have him then Armstrong..any day..

  18. commandant says:

    Trade White to Edmonton who have no centres.

  19. piper says:

    Whitey will learn not to get sucked in by the rats like Ott. We’ll be sorry if he’s waived.

  20. Stormin says:

    Ryan White hammering Buffalo fan behind bench during break

  21. JohnBellyful says:

    Sneak preview of upcoming CH 24 episode: White apologizes to teammates after game.

  22. RockinRey says:

    I like Frankie B’s lobs on net . Better than some of the misfires and windups we see sometimes.

  23. Habbu says:

    I wonder what Ryan’s marks were like in school?

  24. Propwash says:

    White’s been losing his s*** a lot recently. There’s a time and a place for that, and he’s seemed to have forgotten it.

    Subban keeps playing like this we will see him in Sochi 2014

  26. Rudy says:

    PK I love you

  27. Don Carnage says:

    Cole sucks

  28. commandant says:

    Thankfully killed the 2nd penalty, but this last 7 minutes is more tense than it needs to be.

  29. Rudy says:

    Assuming white has to go through waivers to be sent down

  30. RockinRey says:

    PK save!

  31. H.Upmann says:

    Think White won’t be playing another CH game for a long time

  32. twilighthours says:

    Perhaps I’m the only one left, but I still like White. But man oh man does he do stupid things. Really dumb.

  33. CharlieHodgeFan says:

    Blunden can do his job. How many goals has that fool cost the team?
    Sandpaper? Man, that guy is sandpapering the faces of his teammates who are working hard for a win. .

  34. Stormin says:

    1974 just called they want Ryan White back

  35. Dunboyne Mike says:

    8 minutes. Plenty of time for White to score a hattrick and avoid the dog-house.

  36. Marc10 says:

    He’s going to ride the pine for a long, long time… I hope he enjoys that skate back to the bench. That’s the end of his ice time.

  37. tricolore says:

    What is wrong with Cole?

  38. zorro says:

    Therrien has had it with White, this guy should never see another game with the habs. Where’s Moen?

  39. The Dude says:

    I predict this time next year White will be playing for the Bruins.

  40. frontenac1 says:

    Budaj made 2 saves and was down and out. Not his fault on that one. Time to put Whitey in the quiet room and give Sweet Hands Blunden a shot.

  41. Sportfan says:

    Lol I like White I really do, but he’s got to stop doing that! He did it in the Florida game too and its after guys who don’t fight often. Wonder whats up with him?

  42. jols101 says:

    Ahhh Whitey you are a dummy. Exact same stupidity that got you the press box after the Ottawa game.

  43. piter says:

    shouldn’t there have been an interference penalty called against the buffalo player that hit white? he shot the puck in, then went for it, then took a hip check.

  44. Ghosts of the Forum says:

    Not sure if White should be more scared of Therrien or Scott

  45. 24moreCups says:

    Wow. I’ve always been a big time White supporter but he’s just been making stupid decisions this season.

  46. Don Carnage says:

    White is trigger happy, but we need his grit, he just needs to adjust the amount of coke he sniffs before the game

  47. CharlieHodgeFan says:

    White should leave hockey and become a waiter. Man, he serves up treats for other teams.

  48. Stormin says:

    Someone give White a copy of Hamilton Spectator Classified section

  49. HabFanSince72 says:

    Nokelainen or Leblanc to replace White?


    Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

  50. theox_8 says:

    White can go try join the ufc for all I care sick of him.

  51. ffenliv says:

    Toughness. Not stupidity. The team doesn’t need reckless aggression.

    Sit him out for a month. Let Prust carry the load.

  52. Saintpatrick33 says:

    Thanks White frikken idjit

  53. habs-fan-84 says:

    is Ryan White Happy Gilmore?

  54. 69HABS says:

    Yup, should have put Price in after the two goal lead!

  55. twilighthours says:

    No, I’m not blaming Boodeye, but man he flops around a lot.

  56. MICP says:

    Ill say this, white is a game changer.

  57. Bill says:

    Good God White. We have already seen this movie and didn’t like it the first time.

    Full Breezer 4 Life

  58. commandant says:

    If the Sabres tie this game, its all on Ryan White.

    Staple his ass to the bench.

    Go Habs Go!

  60. HabFanSince72 says:

    Last game in a Habs jersey for you Ryan White.

    So long.


    Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

  61. tricolore says:

    White misses Martin and Cunneyworth.

  62. Danno says:

    White will be eating hot dogs for that

    White is an idiotic player.

  67. JohnBellyful says:

    It still hasn’t sunk in for White.
    Edit: Will he clear waivers?

  68. Propwash says:

    Wow White…

  70. tricolore says:

    This team’s work ethic is a universe away from that putrid team of last year. Nice to see the passion. It was also there last night we just needed the execution.

  71. Stormin says:

    WTF RYAN you dumbass

  72. RockinRey says:

    Dont be stupid now…..get out of the building without making this close.

  73. Propwash says:

    Miller used to be a Habs killer, what happened to him?
