Carey Price stopped all three shots in the Shootout.
And the recently-maligned David Desharnais beat Anders Lindback to salvage a 4-3 win.
The Canadiens were playing a textbook road game.
They led 3-0 with six minutes to go.
Then disaster struck … three times.
The home team scored three times on seven third-period shots.
The Canadiens had a power-play during Overtime, but Anders Lindback was spectacular.
The Shootout:
Hedman: Save
Galchenyuk: Miss
St. Louis: Save
Desharnais: GOAL!
Stamkos: SAVE!!!

Finally!!!! Think Bruins figured it out: put two guys on the puck carrier with lots of pressure. Markov needs his time and space. TB’ looks like they’re giving us trouble 5 on 5 with their trap.
Woohoo! About time!
5 against 3,,,,I would hope so!!!
Gioooooooooo!
everyone is wearing flip flops and tanks..sigh I wish I was in Florida
Beh. Gimme good Quebec weather any day.

Danny Kristo doesn’t need FLA for flip-flops in Winter.
Says they work well in North Dakota anytime of year

Okay, I love Markov, but he has to STOP SHOOTING THE PUCK INTO THE LEGS of the player directly in front of him.
Yeeesh.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Hedman is a real jerk eh?
Also I’m not sure if its just be but has anyone else noticed that since PK has returned the PP hasn’t been as strong since they put PK in Diaz’ spot next to Markov?

I think Cole read his text message!
Refs giving the Habs so many power plays and they can do nothing at all. When they start making the even up calls we are dead.

seems to be working now..but I am not using the Play by Play thingy
Comments are working in the play by play on my iPad mini
Back to the drawing board HIO.
Gotta give props where they’re due… DD draws a penalty.
Woulda rather had the goal there.
So I heard Scott Howson is fired ?
So we only have Snow to count on for comedic purposes now ?
The site is driving me batty. Is it because I am on an iPad mini? It won’t load comments. Checking to see if I comment if I can see the comments
testing
would we be back ?
What I don’t understand is why Markov and Diaz, who did so well before Subban came back, are no longer on the power play together.
Let me not be the first to say that I like this new blog/commenting/play-by-play thingy.
I always look forward to the post game press conference and hearing our coach explain the team’s poor play in perfect French. That makes me so proud to be a Habs fan!
Brutal camerawork.
Getting motion sickness from the zooming in and out while panning.
Bleurgh…
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Markov made a bad pinch that lead to a 2 on 1 and was just beat by Vinnie there. He’s just not inspiring confidence.
New rules for the site, submit your comment go make dinner or go have a dump or both, come back and site may have updated
What has happene to the PP? They can’t seem to set up in the offensive zone for the life of them.
That big goalie was beaten once, it hit the post.
\”Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing\”
Tried to edit a comment, went out for a cigarette while it loaded, still loading when I got back, cancelled it.
I don’t think there’s enough of a load on the server, maybe they should provide a live stream as well, lol!
I think you need a finer Turkish blend tobacco is all.
I may break out a Cuban cigar inbetween posts!
Habs passing is just as bad as Saturday I see. And the power play is powerful only in its painfulness.
Full Breezer 4 Life
Have the Habs won even 1 face-off? They should stop dropping the puck and just throw it to the TB d-man
They’ve won 45%
Hmm, powerplay issues.
(Site’s working fine for me, BTW.)

Rick Nash just had a ridiculous assist vs Boston

fix it…
Love how people who didn’t have an avatar got stuck with the generic blue and white circley thing.
Go habs go
So basically, you can’t touch any goalie in the league … Except for ours?
Full Breezer 4 Life
I wonder what we did to Shanahan to make him dislike Montreal
cause he never sides with us, maybe he made the goalie rule you can’t touch anyone except…..

Right on the post!
Cameras annoying me
Comments don’t seem to be working on th play-by-play page anymore – running Chrome on Windows 7.
Markov and Emelin. Oy oy oy.
Man oh man, is that Mike Johnson doing commentary? the guy is a motor mouth and speaks with no punctuation
Are the Habs actually skating downhill or is the camera crooked?
Erik Cole gets a pep talk from Dad Bob Cole who says
Just go hard to the net Donny OHHH Babby
wow that woman behind the bench should have invested in a bigger T shirt..
The new feature is performing like the Habs did last Saturday

Might just watch this game sans Liveblog until the techies get this figured. It’s slow even by HIO standards.
Seems there are spammers here now.
let’s do this.
HIO is impossible to navigate via mobile tonight. Hope somebody is working on this.
But its wigs
Go Habs Go!
Looks like the spammers are still getting thro .
As for the issue of Cole texting, what are you guys fossils? It’s a new age get used to it, everyone texts, tweets etc.

Well, he’s kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace “accidentally” with “repeatedly” and replace “dog” with “son.”

Seriously, as if he didn’t apologize in person… it’s a good gesture.
what was the issue? what did he do wrong? i heard of it, but i dont remember anyone considering it an issue?
Go Habs Go
I think its fine he texted and agree with you people need to see that its a different age and Im pretty sure he did it in person too i mean who found out about the text anyway?

holy moly its slowwwwww
Don’t have a good feeling about tonight. But I’m the same guy who felt great going into Saturday’s game, so things are looking good.
I’ll miss the game on TV but will be able tobfollow the score and blog reactions (on and off). Have a good one, guys!
Boone”
” Michel Bergeron was in rare form on RDS’s 5 à 7. His reaction to Erik Cole texting apologies to his teammates: “Ça c’est la bullshit.” Can’t say I disagree”
B.S!!! Even more B.S that there seems to be a culture which engenders the thought in Cole’s head that this ‘would go down well with the guys”.
…for real??
I know it’s new but it’s already bogging down
I would bet that Max with the Gals will get more ice time than DD-Cole-Prust. According to That’s Hockey, Max was moved down and Prust was moved up. I see it as Gals are moved up and DD-Cole were moved down
“the 1st goal is important”"goaltending will be the difference”
Glad we’ve got the paid professionals to break it down for us.
First time time catching the Gorges scrap with whatisname. Gorges did catch him with a couple of scrapes that definitely caught his attention! Man, if only Josh had been born with 2 more inches in height and 4 inches more wingspan. lol
Digging the new HIO 3.0, needs more windows though, how about the Eric Cole In-Game Tweet feed? Or maybe a Flash-based Where’s Whitey? game?
Pierre McGuire is a nimrod..why do people still ask him what he thinks..wow that is an earth shattering statement..
The site is already slowing down…
“Pierre McGuire said scoring first would be vital for the Canadiens tonight.” I would say winning a face-off might help.
I would add defesive zone coverage on the opening shift
(unlike saturday)

Tampa Bay may be soft but they have the talent that can put you away in a hurry and the Habs had better score early and often or it’ll be lights out …. They have a Guy by the name of Stamkos that can win a game by himself. Just saying and nothing against my Habs. Hope they win 8-0
I’m on a Kindle Fire and it seems to be working fine.

Works better on the tablet.

Boone finally has a bigger box for his blog., bet he’s happy about that!
NICE!
Hey blondie. Long time no chat. Good to see you on line bud.
I haven’t been on a s much as usual lately, preparing to move back to the islands, mon. Ile Perrot, just off the westerns end of the island of Montreal. Should be back home mid-March
Tried keeping up with the posts but I’m giving up, there’s way too many – lol.
Cheers, Jim.
I miss the edit functionality already – lol.
The Lightning are the only team in the NHL softer than the Habs, I think Prust has an upper hand on BJ “KO’d” Crombeen.
