The Canadiens finish their longest road trip of the season with a 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers.
That’s four wins in five games since the amazing first-place team packed their bags to leave Montreal.
Michael Ryder got his first two goals, both on the power play, since returning to the Canadiens and added an assist.
David Desharnais, Brian Gionta and Francis Bouillon, with his first of the season, completed the scoring.
Tomas Kopecky (credited with a goal when Bouillon shot one past Peter Budaj) and Shawn Matthias made it briefly interesting for Florida, scoring in the third period to make it 4-2.
The Canadiens outshot the home team 38-16.
Tomas Plekanec had a pair of assists and P.K. Subban had three.
Andrei Markov recorded the 300th assist of his career.

Clear your browser maybe?
Ryder! Welcome back bye.
Dumont is surprisingly fun to watch!
Impressive net presence.
Loving the way this team plays, night and day compared to last year.
I love how the Habs’s forwards go to the net now. That’s how it’s done!
Dumont and Eller look good togethr
Wow, I love this team.
Lars in his pinwheel..
Pity Kovy isn’t playing tonight. Would have been nice for him to showcase his talent and perhaps get someone interested in picking him up for a playoff run.
Who scored Boone?? Following the game by LiveBlog …
I scored last night Bill. But the HIO mods likely will not appreciate me providing play-by-play….
You’re such a hipster Hippo!

Nice start

Must say, I like the camera angle.
It’s so close up xD
I lost all respect for Tiger after his ex-wife sent him to that sex re-hab clinic in Texas. And he went! Just before she dumped him.
which part of tiger’s story made you lose the respect?
Sorry! Not superstitious!
It’s No. 1 vs No. 15 — couldn’t we look on this as yet another measuring-stick game and hope that we BURY the Panthers?
CRY ‘HAVOC’!etc
A big win would be awesome tonite, then a little R&R might be in order since after today we only play 5 games in the next 15 days (2 Buff, 1 Ott, 1 NYI and 1 NJ), some time to heal up the injuries.
Really enjoying this season. This looks like a team that’s just entering its window of opportunity. An appearance in a Stanley Cup Final is a real possibility in the next 3-5 years.
As we say in the computer biz, it starts at the top. And that means Molson and Bergevin. I loved Bob Gainey the player but his years at the helm were forgettable. A good eye for talent kept the team in limbo—right around on the periphery of a playoff slot. Not good enough to challenge for a Cup, not bad enough to score a generational talent like Crosby or Malkin.

Canada 3 USA 2 Top of the 7th. Loved Ernie Whitts comments when asked by the US media about players getting hit by projectiles from the Mexican fans. “They”re Canadians! You can’t hurt them.”
Haha thats the best remark ever haha baseball related

Note to MT….. Use your 2nd intermission speech in the 1st intermission.

Timing this game perfectly – my Mango Gumbo with Dirty Rice will be ready in 5 minutes.
The only thing I fear for this game is the second period
Good week for Prust to get hurt. A pretty light schedule in terms of the number of games.
Proprio Direct Man. Please go away!

Jacob Markstrom was in goal for the Panthers against us early last season in a game the Panthers won 2-1. Budaj was in goal for us (I think it was his first start) and played well, but Markstrom absolutely stole the game.
I was surprised by Darche’s fumbling for describing a shoulder injury in french, is it his first or second language? I know he went to McGill… Anyone know?
OOH AAH – HABS ON THE WARPATH!
Boone writes, “Ovechkin minus-3 against the Rangers. Funny no one compares him to Crosby anymore.” The mystery is how anyone thought he was close to Crosby in the first place….
65 goals in one season might have something to do with it, and four seasons with 50 or more goals is very good, only ten players ever have done better. It is especially impressive in a non-expansion era.
Yes, some individual accolades for Ovechkin. Kudos to him as an individual.
Was Darche really finished ? No value on this team ?
What the heck happened to Ovie anyway?
Habs should call up a tough guy from the ECHL.Just for fun.
Agree, who is around for the next 2 weeks to discipline if one of the kids get run over?
Ryder will get his first tonight as a Hab (again).
Prescient.
What kind of measuring stick game do we have today?

So no Gallagher, Gionta, Dumont or DD in lineup today?
Getting ready for this game from the W Coast feels like it’s a matinee !
Optimistic that our Prustless Habs will give us a team effort that will win it for us !
Also, nothing has been said of Emelin’s great play of late. His spin-move (against Carolina?) at the blueline setup an important goal for us earlier this week, he seems more confident at the offensive blue line, putting pucks on net and pinching in when necessary. He also comes out with the puck pretty often in the Dzone and is good at getting it out. I think he is the big, bad Defensemen we have all been waiting for for so long.. (And for a Russian player with limited english skills, he seems to gel nicely with the group, he puts effort day-in day-out, you havn’t heard him saying crap to a russian newspaper) #kostitsyn
Each game that goes by, Emelin earns more and more of my respect. Oh yeah, and his hits, forgot to mention those…
Playing with his comrade has really helped him develop!
Mr. Boone I thought the rules of HI/O stipulate that you can only like either DD or Eller not both?
My blog, my rules

Haha, okay fair enough. But I suspect the Commentariat will continue to remain divided for whatever reason.
Prust Lite!

If we’re going to play another game 19 hours after our previous game…on the road…with the travel…I’m glad it’s against Florida.
Keep it simple…short shifts and we should get 2 points. Of course, I felt that way before Tuesday’s game against the NYI.
The speculation from Bruce Garrioch about the Panthers willing to trade anyone other than Gudbranson, Huberdeau, Markostrom and Shore prompted me to look at their NTC’s on cap geek and I stumbled on one of the funniest I’ve seen.
Brian Campbell
“Can designate eight teams he will accept a trade to; team has 45 days from the date notice received to trade him to one of those teams”
Interesting. I wonder if there’s some missing information there. Like does Campbell’s NTC go to a full NMC if he isn’t traded after having provided the list and not moved?
His cap hit is prohibitive so it’s unlikely he’ll be moved anyway. But that’s one doozy of a NTC in my opinion.
Mike, please give a good old-fashioned reverse jinx.
This positive thinking has no place on HIO.

Habs suck vs. Panthers. They only have a 47.9% success rate vs. Florida. They can’t win.

Sounds like Prust won’t be ready for the game against Bruins.
If he’s out only ten days then he’ll be back well before the game against the Bruins.

I’m re-posting this, because I really don’t understand why the NHL is the only league in the world with touch icing:
Maybe Stubbs, Hickey or Boone could answer this question. Who, exactly is against bringing in no-touch icing? I doubt its the players. Is it the GM’s? Most of them used to be players, so that makes no sense. It doesn’t add anything to the game, and I cringe everytime I see a chase for the puck.
So, again, who is against it?
Suits with heads up their own back passages aren’t even conscious of the issue.
Or, if they’re actually in favour of maintaining the status quo, they’re getting advice from Vince McMahon. (Remember broken legs on the XFL’s unique version of the kick-off?)
It is bizarre because at least with most of the no-brainer potential changes there is some type of identifiable constituency as a holdout. eg all of the “get goonery out of hockey proposals” have to contend with the fact that the NHLPA considers (correctly) the marginal 4th line goon a part of their constituency so they are unwilling to pit star player vs goon player. Or certain owners who view gooning as a marketing advantage.
I honestly do not understand what benefit touch icing provides to anyone or who (even out of inertia) would do anything to protect it.
“Et le but!”
Geez… calling for a sweep? Tired of winning? Talk about a jinx.
The words out of my mouth, Timo.
I have a feeling Dumont is gonna shine tonight. on the 3rd line with Eller & Galchenyuk. Looks like a very good 3rd line.
The good thing about this team. We have 3-lines that’s dangerous and teams can’t just focus on 1-line. 1 or 2 points tonight will make this a very good road trip. I think they can do it.
I don’t have that feeling. I feel that injuries will catch up with them tonight.
Speaking of injuries, the Panthers are missing Weiss, Theodore, Jovanovski and Upshall.
If Pateryn is gonna play under 10 minutes and be kept on a short leash as much as i hate to say it i would play Kaberle tonight. Last game of a road trip and a back to back game a veteran with fresh legs is probably a good idea. He seems to play better after a few days off anyway.
nice broom, I am better at flying them than actually using them to sweep
That’s a hex if I ever saw one.
What happened to “I’ve got a bad feeling about this one.”?
New team. New attitude.
Weary blogger?
FORT!
Turd.
Second!

Good Morning Mr. Boone!
There hasn’t been a big game Ovechkin ever played when he didn’t choke. And you maintain he was close to Crosby?
yeah, the mango was clean, rice came from New Orleans so travel must have been dusty. By the way, the dog in my pic loves Mango.
Is that you Dr. Recchi??
Is referencing Mr. Pollock not jumping the gun…just a bit?
might be singing a different tune if he’s out vs a team like Boston
Hockey is a team game, Prust has given this team swagger… he’s missed but this team can survive without him.
looked like he landed awkwardly… hope his knee is fine
In a month…
Love it
2-0 on mine too
Boone’s waiting to see what happens before he does anything

And Luongo wants to go back there? What does that say.
Tells me winning isn’t that important to him.
whats ur point
Concussion, feeling better but not ready to resume skating yet. Diaz is ready to start skating.
I just hope we can win a freakin’ game!!!!
He’s having a crap year, but prob still worth a 1st round pick.
Full Breezer 4 Life
Big power forwards like Andrei Kostitsyn only get a 2nd rounder, I say Clowe gets a 3rd
