The Canadiens ran into a red-hot goaltender who used to play for them and lost 2-1 to Mathieu Garon and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The team went 0-for-Florida, despite a TB lineup decimated by injuries and flu.
Last place.
The beat goes on.

artyukhin artyukhin artyukhin artyukhin artyukhin artyukhin!!!!
haha, at one end Phaneuf gets goal off deflctions and now florida scores a goal deflecting off Phaneuf. Ahh Captain my Captain
Just want to go back to Tampa´s second goal: Yes, Emelin should have pinched and looked back, Diaz wasn´t great either but why tf does Cunneyworth play Emelin on the right and Diaz on the left today? That head coach is a complete and utter joke. Unless he really gets a bonus if we improve our draft position of course…
does anyone here see anything in Palushaj game that shows he has a future in this league? I just cant see it.
D’Agonstini for Palushaj…. Don’t even get me started on how we evaluate and develop players.
If we did our jobs as badly as Gainey and Gauthier we’d be fired a long long time ago!!
D’Agostini was bigger, stronger, strong on his skates and had a great wrist shot!
We NEVER give our kids a chance to succed, we stick them into situations they aren’t going to thrive!
It’s this line of thinking that leads to guys like Matt D’Agostini getting traded for Aaron Palushaj.
In all honesty, he’s still really young and has some skills. 22 year olds who score a point-a-game in the AHL generally do OK in the NHL.
Besides being able to kill penalties is there one Positive thing about this team, Ireally don’t think so.THEY ARE FN BRUTAL!!!
Fla 4 Leafs 2 – third period…..
There are only 2 things to hope for now.
1. A top 3 pick
2. Toronto Make Me Laughs finish 9th
Has anyone got a clip, or a link to the Emelin-Malone hit? All I caught was half a replay, and I’d like to see it again.
Check you tube in a few hours…..

They should book Kaberle into a nursing home.
Or a cardiac unit to see if he has a heart at all….
Having watched him long enough here in Calgary, Bourque plays hard one game out of four
Hey we just traded a guy like that…. What’s was his name again…. So forgetful….:)

love craperle effort tonight.
For maybe the first time ever, the French Canadian goalie jinx is working in our favor.
LOL.
I’ll be happy when Cunneyworth is gone as well.

why does this Habs team make other goalies look like Sawchuck?
Just turned on the game and saw Kaberle cough up the puck. Anyway, how has Blake G looked out there?

Stamkos went down pretty easy but he got the call….
Only 183 regular season games left to go for Kaberle & Gonez’s contract to end.
Garon channelling his inner Dryden. Yeesh
Terrible call. Stamkos should had the pen on that.

It’ll be interesting if Geoffrion and Leblanc make the team next year. You know les Quebecois would go nuts to see them play with Deharnais. Even though I think Geoffrion is probably more American than french, an all French name line would be a favorite for a while. Than Eller can play between Cole and Pacioretty. Plekanic between Giona and Bourque and White between Moen and Staubitz.
Bourque, what a sniper.

Garon.
Holy Garon.

I’d like to be standing behind RC and smack him upside the head everytime he puts Gomez on the ice for a powerplay.

Why can’t Montreal let Subban skate the puck into the offensive zone – It can’t hurt to try…
I suppose that now you all realize that Muller was the coach who made a difference… and this great brain-trust of ours thought it best to allow him to walk away…. another reason for the release of PG (and BG)
Gomez AND Bourque together on the PP. Not an ounce of try between them
I don’t think Bourque is without “try”. And if he is lacking, I don’t blame him a 10th as much as I do Gomez
Kaberle needs to do us all a favor and retire!
Everytime Gomez and Kaberle are on the PP
Cunneyworth should be flogged
Gauthier and Gainey should be stoned!

More like Kaberle is a turnover machine.
Brutal Kaberle.

Emelin is a turnover machine
i still say bring up Alex Henry, 6’6 240 , pummel’s forwards and will back himself up by dropping the gloves, he would have clocked Malone’s ass
Wow. White Goalies CAN jump!
GOMEZ HITS THE POST!!!!! LITERALLY
So we’re down to 10 forwards. And Gomez is one of them.
Full Breezer 4 Life
AT this point – I hope the Habs lose tonight so that Tampa is closer to reeling in Toronto and passing them in the standings. Also so Montreal locks up a better draft pick. Season is lost – might as well draft high… and make sure the Leafs are dragged down too.
Wow, on the replay realized how close Garons skate blades were to Palushajs face as he slid underneath, that could have been really ugly.
Does Gomez have to stay here for the rest of the season? If he were to either get sent down or benched, it would make the rest of the season a bit more tolerable
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Hey, wasn’t he in the clear? No PS?
***Subbang Baby!!!***
I know It’s redundant, but Gomez sucks.
And in this league, that’s not a penalty shot?
A 5 min PP –
Gomez played at least two maybe three shifts.
Plex none. And he’s not injured.
It’s been said before, but I hope Cunnyworth has a money back guarantee on that Rosetta Stone French language kit. He should trade it in for “AHL Coaching for Dummies”.
–
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
Are on the Tankwagon™ or not? Make you’re mind.
IMO, Cunneyworth is a genius.
I’m on, as long as we win in the future. Ca marche?
But now that Gomez feels safe with the visor he is going to be back to his “old self.” His problem all along was “fear of losing an eye.” Pretty risky putting him out there if you want to tank, the new Gomez, with the visor, is a top 5 center in the NHL. Sit him, or he will ruin the Tankwagon™.
Yet you condone what Malone that piece of shit for what he does. He has been looking for trouble since the start of the second period.
I guess you missed the cheap hit on Emelin by Malone. Since like you said when Emelin does something like that expect to get jumped, well the same could be said for that dirty hit by Malone.
+1
That’s the way the NHL typically works. The habs rarely do it because we don’t have the players to do so. But yeah, Malone could have gotten run for his hit on Emelin.
Besides, I happen to believe Malone was just finishing his hit.
He’s done plenty of cheap things in the past but the original hit wasn’t really cheap
malone is a pos case in point go back to preseason head shot on campoli
Finally, Palushaj puts something in the net!
WHAT A GOAL!
Malone gone for the night…awww…i was so hoping our newbie would lay a beatin on him
Every coach gets worse.
Carbo > JM > RC
I sure hope we can reverse the trend.
So twilight. That means Chara et all can cheap shot everyone and smile about it?
Malone always has been and always will be a goof
Forbidden by the crap servers once again.

So, why the F are they still showcasing this POS Gomez, tradedeadline is gone, NO ONE WANTS HIM STOP PLAYING HIM SO MUCH!!
Oh wait, the tank all revolves around playing Gomez on every PP, i now get the ghosts masterplan…
Why do i still watch these games
Honest to god it’s so sad that some of you non-hockey players are so enraged at Malone on Emelin.
If Emelin is going to throw those kind of hits (blatant interference), then he’s going to get jumped.
You can argue all you want about what should happen or what Emelin shouldn’t have to do, but these are the facts of hockey. Throw a cheap hit; expect to get jumped.
No one else cares that he’s got a plate in his face.
I know , Malone has never done that
ability is what you’re capable of doing.
attitude determines how you do it
Maybe he had it coming, maybe he didn’t. Not the point.
What is your point? As far as I can tell, you haven’t made one, apart from “if you’re going to bodycheck players, you can expect players to come after you looking for a fight.”
Which is like saying “the puck is black.”
—Hope Springs Eternal—
So we agree. But some people on here are outraged that the puck is black.
STFU!!!!!!!!!!! standing up for Malone as if he’s the honest one.
Dude I don’t give a f*** about Malone. This has nothing to do with him.
Twilighthours ,your 200% on that….Welcome to the REAL NHL Mr Emelin!
I didn’t see the Emelin hit on Malone clearly. Thought Malone was playing the puck at the line… if so, then its a clean hit.
Me either. But it looked like interference from what I saw.
Yes he got jumped, and Malone got the penalty.
What’s your point?
—Hope Springs Eternal—
That’s the kind of thinking that rationalizes keeping fighting. Malone can go cry in the locker room.
Just like Chara, u push him a bit after u score a goal, expect him to decapitate you.
1) Malone hits Emelin hard from behind into the boards (interference)
2) Same shift Emelin hits Malone hard (blatant interference)
3) Next shift White lines up against Malone, no fight.
4) Malone JUMPS Emelin from behind while he is changing and punches him repeatedly. Blatant sucker punches.
What Emelin did was worthy of a penalty, what Malone did was worthy of a suspension.
Sure. Perhaps. Not the point.
Players will get attacked for throwing dirty hits. This the NHL.
I agree, but the “attacker” needs to be punished accordingly. I think he deserved the 5 min major. Maybe a call from Shanny.. the point is, White lined up beside him and was ready to settle the dispute, Malone declined.
Ryan Malone obviously has issues.
Wyman couldn’t play for this team, but Palushaj can?
I believe Gomez gave the puck away three times on that PP
Can we take the American political debates to another forum. This is a hockey blog!!!!
