The Canadiens’ fourth overtime pairing – Alex Galchenyuk and Rene Bourque – produced the game’s only goal.
And your Montreal Canadiens – with Shootout and OT wins – swept the Sunshine State.
Galchenyuk – making a brilliant play on crap ice – set Bourque up for the winner.
‘Fess up: When they headed south after that embarrassing loss to the Leafs, did anyone think the Canadiens would be headed home with four points in the bag?
Carey Price stopped 26 shots for his first shutout of the season, 17th of his young career.

Me and the misses are both habs fans so as per tradition we are doing it doggy style so we can both watch the game but she has now lost interest so I am having a beer by myself.
Thanks a lot habs
You don’t have a table to put your beer on now

You know who Tweets a lot?
Francois Gagnon, that’s who Tweets a lot.
My God, does that guy Tweet.
A lot.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Even the comments are weak tonight (this one included yes). Valentine’s Day has everyone off their game.
Yeah right.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Gotta blame it on something …
I was just trying to add another excellent, insightful comment to the evening’s festivities.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
It’s the edge of your seat play for inspiration!
It’s the game that has everyone off their Valentines
Palushaj scored for the Avs tonight
FEARLESS PREDICTION: 3rd’s a break out period…habs win 6-4…..and on the 11 o’clock news, American ‘Taxidermist’ provides pictures proving beyond the shadow of a doubt, once and for all that “ELVIS IS ALIVE AND WELL”
Would rather watch my cat clean himself…way more exciting
Someone please tell Pacioretty the season has started.
and then he can tell the rest of the team
I am pvr ing the game so I can watch it next time I suffer from insomnia.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
lol
Bettman will be glad to see Hockey is alive and thriving in the sunshine state.Montreal has more fans than this at most practices.
It’s at times like this I always reflect on a line Henry Blake had on M*A*S*H* when watching a film of Frank Burns’ wedding with Hawkeye, Trapper, Radar and Klinger: “They sure did invite a lot of empty chairs.”
With that, I shall take the crown for making the most obscure reference of the night.
They had more aggressiveness against TO…more energy…more shots….boring, safe game…better wake up because Philly is going to shock them
Because Philly are doing amazing this year.
A real powerhouse.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Nice
Philly also recently whupped by the Maple Laffs

Can’t watch the game, but reading all the comments on here. First of all, its a shortened season with way too many games in a short period of time. Secondly, we are not losing. Get a lucky one or at least make it to OT and at least a very valuable point.
This is soooooo boring,……….like going camping with a couple who don’t drink.
Time to refresh the beverage…
YAWN …. call this NHL hockey? Cant believe i broke down and ordered CENTER ICE on BELL today. Was not going to have it this year because of greedy lock out. Love my habs but they stink. Not even gonna watch the third. Got work to do.

Once upon a time, low scores were common before people started confusing hockey with ‘entertainment’.
People who want ‘entertainment’ should watch the WWE. It’s even got the word ‘entertainment’ in the name of the league.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Habs are on the road. Play ugly and get points (hopefully a win) would make this game a perfect one. Nothing so far to make one feel justified having taken refuge in the basement away from the wife, but a win will make it ok.
——————————————
Long signatures are annoying
Bank Atlantic center is the only NHL hockey arena where the address announcer doesn’t need a microphone.
They actually don’t have an announcer, they just pay a fan to talk loudly during the game.
Bettman just announced expansion for next year:
Jacksonville Jackholes
Key West Stoners
Orlando Mickey Mouse Team
Ft. Lauderdale Spring Breakers
Omitted the St Louis – Ha Ha’s
Awaken the RDS DD admiration society!
Release the Kraken!
He’s having a good game.
More zip in his step than we’ve seen in a while.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
I’ll tell you one thing right now for free here;
The refs are having a good game.
Happens to be the most boring game since the last ‘backward passing-only’ game was played, but it’s nice to see the refs letting them play.
For once.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Cap”n Kirk and the Canes laying it on th Leafs. 3-1 in the 3rd.
I had more fun watching the game last Saturday.
That’s a lie.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
The only thing worse than this game is the town crier home announcers. They need to go back to work at their local Home Depot.
Wasn’t it against the panthers where Huet was in nets and it was 0-0 till the shootout we won but both guys got an official shutout?

Max just a great imitation of Cole. M G .. It’s contagious!
Notice Cole’s spill on that drive to the net. The ice here is so slow he got carpet burns.
Good news. Already 2 periods done.
lol
bad news, we suck in the 3rd
Ouch! Yeah…

If we allow 3rd period goals at the rate we did at the end of the Tampa game, Florida should score 9-10 goals in the 3rd.
I can’t stand southern hockey teams. It’s pathetic. Especially the Panthers, who have had the ugliest and cheapest looking uniform in the NHL since they came into the league and have never fixed it. That uni looks like it was designed by a middle-school student.
I vote for the Wild as the worst-looking uniforms with honourable mention to the Preds
________________________________________
“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
I don’t know. I kind of like the Wild uni’s, and the Preds white ones.
My explanations for why our PP has underperformed recently relative to first few games.
1. It was effective at 30%, such a percentage was unsustainable.
2. We have many players who had been active playing overseas (Makov being especially sharp, also Diaz and Pleks) and they took advantage of rusty opponents with no training camps.
3. Teams had no idea what we were going to do, this 2 point-men unit had never played together before. They started to be less effective even before PK joined (remember that Ott game where we had tons of PP and couldn’t score).
4. This new PP design is too predictable (trying to get PK the shot every time). Needs to be more varied, versatile. Looks like MT only wants simple plays (not a bad thing), but guys seems hesitant to create, move into space and make sth happen.
Diaz is less comfortable everywhere, not just on PP. So I don’t think it has anything to do with chemistry personally, but just a point of view.
THIS is way more exciting

See the Habs are well in the faceoff circle as usual
How the state of Florida gets not one but 2 teams is beyond me. Habs are lucky tonight. I am not sure the Panthers realize there is a game on.
Not the kind of game that win cups
Not the kind of teams that win cups…
Also
I would have expected you to write:
The kind of game that win cups this is not….
wonder if Emelin is having problems seeing down with the grill on?
Enough already!….LAFLEUR! SHUTT! LEMAIRE! YOU’RE UP!
…..If only.
Back in the late 70s (I believe ) Steve Shutt tried to pick up my then future sister in law on a flight to Calgary…I keep trying to explain what her mistake was….
Bullet holes in my mirrors . . . .
Terrible hockey game.
Two teams with no clue on offense makes for some yawn-inducing hockey.
This new set is making feel like I’m Booner and he’s commenting on my LIVE BLOG…….Just the way it should be
SWEET!
Evenin’ guys, just got in. Haven’t missed much apparently?
We’re just catching up on our sleep.

ZZZZZ…….zzzzz…..HEY SHHHH! The rest of us are try to sleep here!
Even if the Habs win the faceoff, they still lose it cause the Panthers are still the first on the puck.
Ten guys closing their eyes and whacking at the puck for 40 minutes.
19-8 SOG for MTL. This scares me. This is where they get one off the crossbar then the shot clock off Weiss’s helmet, off the back of Price’s head…….and in. Folks, you heard it here first.
Les Panters looking dangerous.
The face off winning percentage can’t be very high again tonight.
At least it’s not as costly as it always is against good teams.

Habs got to hit more….like they did at the start of the year…
19-8 SOG for MTL. This scares me.
Habs are playing like St. Louis
Zzzzzzzzzzz……….

Anyone else notice that Cole knocked himself out there?? He literally ran into Gudbranson full tilt, Gudbranson wasn’t even looking. Dude, get your head up.

Hey – just noticed I’ve been immortalized in Boone’s game blog! Thanks for the shoutout Boone!

Don’t talk about the shoutout until the game is over. Jeez.
Um..what?

Wow. That’s like being knighted or being made a fellow of some accounting thingy. Are you going to add ‘Esquire’ or some s*** like that to your post signature?
I’m going to for sure, but I have to think it over carefully because it’s such an important occasion.

Lack of execution again.
What a SOFT turnover by DD on the PP, just gross. Led to a good scoring chance too.
Subban is being more creative tonight.
Not sure, he kind of mucked up that last powerplay. Bad dump in that was immediately cleared, his teammates had to wait for him at the blue line and were at a standstill when he finally put the puck in the zone.
Bring up Blunden from the Dogs
Seriously, they’ve been hitting Theo in the logo all night long.
Shots are going straight at the crest. Let’s shoot for some rebound here, boys!
We have Emmy..
If Cole wasn’t injured before he certainly is now m
“Its a good road game for us” REPEAT “Its a good road game for us” REPEAT “Its a good road game for us” REPEAT “Its a good road game for us” REPEAT ……zzzzzzzzzzzz……..Jis skidding b’ys!
Gotta score…PK…
Sure wish we had a big, mean, mobile dman like Gudbranson. He has been crushing Habs all night.
Pierre Houde says there have been doubts about Erik Cole’s health. What have the rumours been? I only know about his summer injury, anything else?
its a good road game…
Here we go…
Uh oh…
Wouldn’t read to much into is getting outhit — happens when you have the puck for 75% of the game
This game is God-awful.
We’re playing exactly like we played against the Leafs. Difference is these cats got no claws.
I’m definitely lining up my vacation plans to Disney World with the fam when the Habs are in the Sunshine State. Two games, free parking, cheap seats, cheap beer & hot dogs, plenty of room to stretch out in the lower bowl, and the mugging/car jacking is complimentary. Sign me up!
Boone ..it’s “lets F-bomb” on Valentine’s day.
Gallagher will score first
Was this the first time this season Erik Cole managed to wheel around an opposing defenceman like that?
Not as often as last year, but he always seems to miss the net on the rare occasions he can actually do it this season.
This play by play set-up is fantastic guys
Yeah, it’s Great on my iPad mini
