New Jersey owned the third period, scoring three unanswered goals to win a game the Canadiens had led 3-1.
The loss dropped the Canadiens 12 points out of the final playoff spot.
It just ain’t gonna happen.
Michael Blunden is shown in the pic taking a vicious hit from behind by Elias. Blunden did not return.
MORNING SKATE AUDIO: Louis Leblanc | Randy Cunneyworth | Dainius Zubrus | Peter DeBoer

How do you ice a puck and have pressure in your own end with an extra man.
Don’t you know… It was Price’s fault.
Some people need to give their heads a shake.
lol…we have 6 men and we can’t even touch the puck…maybe we just plain suck?
wtf was that? Is kaberle for real?
Well, if the Habs are going to make any trades. Molson had better decide what he plans to do with PG.
If he is going to cut him loose, he had better watch what is going to happen and approve all trades.
Seeing Larry coaching the Devils just irks me as much as it makes me sad.
Doesn’t matter folks, focus on the deadline and the draft, it’s all we’ve got to look forward to. A disastrous year that can’t end soon enough for moi
The great Larry Robinson … on the wrong side of the fence!
Since when has Robinson been back with the Devils. I must have missed that or forgotten…
Larry Robinson setting up the NJ defence.
Not right.
–
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
RC should spend the entire timeout going off on the refs. Just because there’s nothing else to accomplish at this point.
Wow, lets just end the season now, love the habs but this is painful.
I said early hope Price win a shootout, but I still wish.
Is it possible the refs have bought into the Habs tanking philosophy?
Tomorrow’s headline: ‘Habs tank, refs stank’
wasnt a penalty.
…ha, even the MSG+ play-by-play thought that should have been a Kovalchuk penalty
…oops, EDIT …he changed his mind
Habitant means PASSIONATE HOCKEY

OMG CHRIS LEE
I prefer a loss over a shootout loss but man this guy is NOT a NHL-caliber referee.
so you prefer 0 pts vs 1 pt?
When tanking yes
Hey, at least it wasn’t a shoot out loss.
Time to piss off Bettman, and go into full tank mode.
well see the team in 2013-2014 this movie has come to a close.
Lol I don’t believe it.. No call onElias for the hook, flubbed shot right to Parise.. Season in a nutshell
Nice to see some “emotion” behind the bench.
I think the fat lady is warming up
Some serious interference preceding that one. Ah well, team’s goin’ nowhere in a big hurry anyway. When a few bad calls make the difference in your season, you know you’re runnin’ on fumes.
Is anyone surprised? What a contrast of goalies.
F’ckn refs.
Anyone surprised?
WTF the officiating is just brutal.
NO PENALTY???
That was setup on a great non-call of a hook on Cole.
This team sucks beyond belief.
Phew. I was worried it was going to go to OT.
Lemme guess, Price sucked on that too?

Boone, It is a tantalizing display of what he IS! Cmon with the AK hate. He is a great part of team and sometimes he is able to pull off sweet stuff like that.
Look, AK is no RR, but he is AK. All around the best hab after Cole.
Elias is an a-hole
I am a fan of Price. Want him locked up for many years. Not on his game tonight, no question about it. Not every puck that gets deflected should end in the net. Positioning, anticipation, alertness help against those.
By the way, great clean hit by Subban!
Someone needs to take out Elias
Anyone see Gill in the third period?
Another during the game trade
Clean hit by Subban. Let’s see if it wakes up the team.
classy.
How refreshing! A player wasn’t challenged to a fight after delivering a clean check!
No hard feelings between them.

Don’t let the wultures getcha.
Perfectly clean hit
Why do we even try to take the lead we always lose it
I support Scott Gomez
Now who wants to trade PK?
I *LOVE* how Subban always tries to line someone up after a Hab gets roughed up.
MaxPac gets plowed, and 2 seconds later, Subban steps up and knocks out a Devil.
He did that a couple games ago too. Thank god someone does.
F Larsson.
At least PK can still hit. Looking forward to the next few years with the core of this team.
That was a good hit wasn’t it?
Subby!! Nice!!
What a hit
Great hit PK, make that POS pay for the grab on LL earlier in the game.
One of the reasons why the Habs keep Subban
KABOOM!!!! Way to go Subbie!
Bang Bang great hit PK!!!!!!!!
I love Pk. No quit in him.
WOW PK just destroyed Larsson!

God if we go to another shootout I will cry my head off. I’d rather LOSE than watch our team suffer in the shootout.
NO ONE on this team can score in the SO. What is our record? 1-7??
Not unlike this place.
Brodeur overrated, are you mentally challenged? If he was a hab goaltender he’d be the best right? Fans like you make me throw up in my mouth a bit!
Lose in a shoot out? We will be lucky if we get that far
Any reruns of Mr. Rogers on? They would be more exciting than the Habs. And Mr. Rogers is tougher than the current group of players.
Hate Brodeur. Feasted on trap hockey for years. Over-rated.
Hate his style. As a butterfly style goalie I just hate hybrid.
Brodeur is one the greatest goalies of all time. The trap would be nothing without him.
There’s no doubt about it bud. He’s good at what he does. I am just not a fan of his style though.
Similarly, I just HATE Thomas’ style of goaltending. Not saying he sucks – but don’t like his style.
These guys look like their throwing almost every game, they have had the lead for 20+ games going into the third, they cant be that bad to lose that many…
Cammy was right. What a bunch of losers. Painful to watch. Can’t we quickly adopt a third jersey for these guys to wear so that they don’t soil the logo?
If RC is not rehired this summer, it won’t be because of his linguistic deficiencies, but because he has no freakin’ clue about how to develop a big league power play.
Tell me about it. What a disastrous PP.
We have a power play?
That has been the Achilles heel of the team all season. The Habs would be in a much better position if they had a half decent PP.

Long 2 months ahead, I’ll still watch and hope for wins, but this is tough. When do they pick who gets 1st, 2nd, 3rd pick etc? I’ve never paid attention before. Is it done the day before the draft?
A lottery occurs that determines the order of the draft.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100217081348AAwNO3h
Even when we have possession in the O-Zone on the PP, we see 5 guys standing still.
Sarcasm, Boone?
Carey isn’t 100% at fault, a deflection is a deflection, no human can move that fast when it goes off a stick close to the net.

Nothing against women hockey players, I’d take any Canadian women on D over Kaberle
what a dirty pos clarkson is.
Hey I’ve got thicker than thick glasses and the last two Devil’s goals were deflections……….I think……or else this TV is on the fritz
Whose side are you on here Boone? That was clearly interference and he stuck his leg out – get a grip man
Did Pleks even look at the net when he shot?
How in the f*ck is that a bad goal by Price, are you f*cking watching the game or not. Did you not see the puck deflected of Kabarle stick and change direction.
F*ck off with the bullsh!t commentary. Watch the game and comment on what is happening.
Price suks. Get over it PriceBot.
If Mr. Softie won about half of his shoot out loses, Habs would be in better shape to get in. No way worth 5 mil., no way.
Ok, I’ll say it…Plekanec can’t score to save his life.
