It was fun while it lasted.
The Senators blew the game open in the second period while Ryan White was serving a double-minor for roughing and unsportsmanlike conduct.
PP goals by Habs-killer Daniel F. Alfredsson and Mika Zibanejad made it 3-1.
Then Chris Phillips capped off a period of total dominance by the Chris Neil line to give the Senators a three-goal lead.
Three goals on Peter Budaj in 3:35, and the Canadiens never recovered … although there some quality shots on Craig Anderson.
Chris Neil iced the cake with a wraparound late in the third period.
The game included two first-period fights and a parade to the penalty box that sabotaged any rhythm or flow to the action.

…’slashing’ is/should be all about when You are using Your stick on the body
See I disagree. Your stick is for playing the puck, nothing else. I don’t like it when a player slashes a stick or body just because he’s a step too slow.
Kozari is a clown. His diving call on Prust last night was just as bad as the call on Bourque. Noone should get him two nights in a row……..
That was the same ref? My god he’s BAD!

His problem is that he thinks that he is a lot better than he is hence all the B.S. calls…….
White needs a game or two off, for being stupid
Did the same thing against Florida. Nobody complained then. But they didn’t give up 2 goals either. I agree, White needs to sit for a while.
I know what you mean and I understand he has a role to play so give him the first penalty cause thats what he does but the second one for running his mouth in a game where they are calling everything is plain stupid.
Capitol Meltdown!

…I don’t understand all the mickle and dime ‘slashing’ penalties on sticks
Sure White takes the stupidest of penalties but what has happened to the pk of last year? Was Gill that important?
RYAN WHITE-go to the dressing room and change into your civvies and get OFF THE TEAM!!!!
He feels shame.
You can bet if PK was on the ice he would get all the blame for tonight’s stink-o-rama performance for destroying the chemistry etc.

“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
Agreed. That storyline would just write itself. He dodged a bullet, I think.
Hahahaha, there’s the make up, cause they know they blew the call on Bourque.
Boone was right,bourque held up and anderson did a good job selling it.
I knew I shouldn’t have put the summer caterpillars on the Tank⢠so early.
What a nice dive Craigie
Still thinking the team would be better with Subban in the line up.
Ya think? I’m thinking we’d be better without White in it. Or Eller.
First “getting run out of the rink” of the season. Probably a good wakeup call for them…I don’t think they’ve had a decent shot on goal in the 2nd period…O well..back to backs are brutal..and the SEns get more calls in their building than most teams. But we got caught with a lot of retaliation penalties and you can’t win doing that.
Wonder if Therrien reads them the riot act?! Might as well tinker with line combos and take it easy on Markov and lighten his load for the weekend matchups..
Hows that interference, has to be tripping right?
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”

DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!
Not the new Therrien. The guys he sits during the game because of poor play, he makes them stand up in the dressing room during the intermission.
…Sens are the kinds of teams that shows-up DD’s limitations most clearly
…love Him, but not as first-line centre
Went away for 5 min and sens take over…christ.
Neal still an asshole.
Christ was not on the ice for any of their goals
Now that the refs gave the Sens two goals on the double minor, they appear content to let us get mugged for the rest of the game with nothing further called.
I wonder who l’Antichambre crew will pin this one on tonight?
My guess is PK.
Eller. Brisebois lite.
s.o.s. note to Therrien: why waste Eller on 4th – he should be rested. perfect time to get him to center DD and Cole – and please please please get PK back asap..
The Tank — the one that was rolling over the competition — seems to have slipped a tread.
Give the kids some extra ice. Let them have some fun.
———————————–
But then they’ll never get to sleep tonight.
Time for a horror story.
They’re in one right now.
It’s early in the game, and there’s plenty of time for a come back. Or to lose 8-1.
White is playing dumb hockey. Let’s see Blunden soon.
Time to pull out all stops and see what happens

Meaning?
What bush league announcers on TSN. What did White do? Personally, I don’t know why we have to have White, Prust and Armstrong. One of those is enough. Finally….still happy with keeping P.K. out of the line-up guys???
Will Boo Die get a start in either game this weekend?
I wouldn’t bet on it, after tonight.
Is there anybody in a white sweater playing good at all?
“They don’t hang Conference Championship Banners from the rafters here”
Carey Price
Too tired to skate, so they stand still, which inevitability leads to goals against………can’t win them all.
…can’t put this on Budaj …score wouldn’t be different with Carey
Take your time getting PK back in there, don’t worry, next week, whatever. Give me a f’n break. PK is better without a practice than ANYTHING we have on the ice, including Markov. At least he has the strength to win the battles in front of the net.
Full-on slapshot from a yard out — better not blame Budaj.
Price would of saved all those goals . Except maybe alfreds.
And Halak….
No to mention Malcolm Subban.
Ryan White is an idiot.
No excuses?
Then sit him down until he grows a brain.
How many games will he cost us before he smartens up?
Ch EJ
I’m thinking 1.
Bench white and put blunden in next game. Too many dumb penalties and this is in the 3rd game. This time it cost us.
Now to battle through some adversity. A good test for the team.

Stupid reality.
When did Aebischer sneak into this game?
We wont win every game…. All the pp sens have are killing us….
Anybody who wants to defend Kabrele should watch the Sens 4th goal. Disgustingly soft.
———————————–
…Our Habs are coming down to Earth
…Sens big physical and skilled
I’m no mathematician, but I think Boo Die’s GAA is taking a beating tonight.
Price is so vital to our success

Defensemen are skating like they’re in quicksand. Can’t blame Budaj. Team stopped skating.
Thanks Whitey!
“They don’t hang Conference Championship Banners from the rafters here”
Carey Price
I like Moen a lot, but if Eller left Phillips unattended like that what would happen?
Na Na Na Les Canadiens Les Canadiens
Poor Budaj, nothing he can really do.
So… Can we get PK in for our PK!? Don’t stall, MT!
Tough game for Budaj.. watching these last few goals.. definitely not his fault.
At 1-4 they look lost.
Hey, ya wanna call the timeout you should’ve called after the last goal Mike, ya big dummy.
….da fuq???
Or maybe it is. How about a time out??
Wasn’t this supposed to be Carey’s night off?

Game over man…

How long till the media blame the loss on PK’s signing?
Rout.
Difference from last year? This isn’t over.
White 2 minutes for Phillips holding your stick and 2 minutes for complaining
Na Na Na Les Canadiens Les Canadiens
…there will many more of those in future from Mika Z
So….who takes White’s spot in the line-up next game?
- Honestly yours
Twitter: @de_benny
Blunden
.
If it wasn’t for the goalposts, Sens would have 5 already.
Make that 6
Ryan White is the goat here but then again … wtf was that double minor for??
.

I don’t blame Budaj. That was deflected, stupid penalty by Ryan.
C’mon veteran youth. Use your North American grit to beat that ref syndicate!!!!
Classic!
***SUBBANG BABY!!!***
How many goals have been scored this year with White in the box?
Doesn’t matter. Is there a 5th line to which Therrien can demote Lars Eller?
“Et le but!”
Can’t we move the Sens out of the conference?
Thanks Refs for ruining the game.
Note: I don’t think they are playing favorites… just ruining the game with a call every 30 seconds.
Go Habs Go!
