Peter Regin beat Carey Price in the Shootout to give the home team the win.
The hero was goaltender Ben Bishop: 44 saves in regulation and OT, four more in the Shootout.
Canadiens, who hit the metal behind Bishop five times, get a well-earned point to stay atop the Eastern Conference.
The Shootout:
Silfverberg: Goal (he’s 3-for-3 in Shootouts this season
Galchenyuk: Save (easy)
Daniel F.: Glove save
DD: Goal! Brilliant
Turris: Save
Gallagher: Save
Daugavins: Post!
Gionta: Save
Regin: Goal! And a beauty
Plekanec: Save

The only Hab with a bad game tonight was PK Subban. Dunno why there are so many comments ripping Price, Gio, etc…
PK made mistakes, but he didn’t cost us any goal and he wasn’t in for the shootout. The offense scored one goal, Price allowed a softie. Get it now? I believe Price deserved a pass though.
Because, Price did have a bad game. The puck stops with him a player has a bad game and a team can still win a goalie has a bad game and you end up with what we got tonight
They scored a single bad goal on us. Get over it. If it was anyone but Bishop the game would’ve finished 4-1 tonight for us if not more. Then you wouldn’t even be saying Price had a bad game. He let in 1 goal on 24 shots. Statistically speaking, that is a good game.
A goalie has a bad game and the flyers can still win! haha
Funny thing is Ottawa was missing their best d-man and number one goaltender. So were the Habs tonight. PK was atrocious and Carey wasn’t himself.
Ah well, on to the next one. Point streak is still alive.

The goal on Price was bad, but he did make a lot of tough saves in this third and OT to hold on. Can’t believe the criticism he’s taking tonight after the season he’s had so far. It’s unbelievable.

Seriously?
That goal sucked, sorry to burst your Price balloon…
I said the goal was bad.
Full Breezer 4 Life
Yeah yeah, Halak would have stopped that, right? Wrong.
1 goal in regulation, lost in the SO. He’s been a lot better in the SO this year and has a very good season so far. Get over the trade you closet Bruins fan. You too turcotte, you cross-leafer
Agreed. Don’t get me wrong, by saying he wasn’t himself I don’t mean he was horrible. He just wasn’t spectacular like his normal self.

River View – don’t get caught up in Bill’s blind love for Price. Even when he falters, he does not call him on it.
Why are you such a bitch?
Full Breezer 4 Life
Trolls gonna troll Bill, stay class like Kirk.
^^ I was just curious lol
Full Breezer 4 Life
Actually Bill, I just don’t like you. You pick a fight and then you cry and ask why are you…….typical wimpy response.
This was probably Prices second worst game of the year, first of course was that 6-0 loss. I mean he looked lost all night right from the opening shot. When Price is on he just flicks those shots away with ease, but tonight they bounced off of him and found hiself looking for the puck. That goal that beat him in the second goes in probbly once in a 100 shots
Yep, an off night for Pricey. But still 1 goal against is not bad.
Better team by far lost tonight Bishop didnt steal this one Price gave it away as soft as a goal can come
I would change my name to bluewhitered but I don’t want to start a controversy
With comments like that anything you write won’t start a controversy….
he made 44 saves,
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Price checking webbing all night…he just can’t catch.
Credit to Ottawa gritty team with hot goalies, nobody is beating them these days, even the dudes leafs lost to them, and he loves the leafs!
Great goaltending by Bishop. Not so great goaltending by Price…boy he really sucked on that goal.
I don’t know if that guys mom is still cheering for him after that one…
He was solid tonight. Both goalies ate a fake in the shooutout. It happens. That nobody Bishop is thanking his posts right now. Should have been 5-1 Habs, easily.
If you kept this game going instead of going to an SO, the Habs would have won anyway.
Posts or not…that does not change the fact we did not get elite goaltending out of Price. That goal stunk!
Ask anyone, if they tell you different, they lie!
Uhh, ok, I guess that’s why he made many tough saves and kept them in the game after they went down. Habs win and it’s still just one goal allowed, get real.
Whatever, the Habs deserved the two points, but sometimes you just hit the goalpost four times, lol. Bishop was good. They got a point on the road and should’ve had two.
Attention to the geniuses who are complaining about Gionta being in the shoot out: look up some career stats for Habs players on shoot outs.
Full Breezer 4 Life
How about Pleks and his 17% rate?
Perhaps Gionta circa 2011. It’s 2013 and he does not look good in shootouts. Of course, you always seem to miss the obvious.
Gio may have been good in the shootouts in the past, but he is struggling this year. Id rather see Max, Eller or even Marky. But Im sick of Gio. Does that make me a genius, no. But the guy didn’t register a shot, Pathetic
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Price chokes yet again in shootouts…..Why in the world does Gionta get selected for the shootouts?
I tried to face palm, eye roll, and head shake all at once at your post, might have hurt myself. All the newbie trolls on this site could learn a thing or two from you.
Full Breezer 4 Life
Bill – try to come up with better material. You are so narrow minded it’s pathetic. Of course, to appease I will say that Price was helpless when that shot hit is glove and bounced out of it. Not to mention that back flop on the winner……get some glasses loser.
He’s our Goalie, Halak is gone. Come to terms with it.
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Shh. Troll.
I love PK and have no problem saying he looked terrible tonight. Heaven forbid Price lovers critique golden boy Price. Shows how insecure you are.
You must have been watching a different game. What about Habs forwards who didn’t bury it?
Don’t be a Don Cherry!
The game I saw clearly showed one goalie give up 3 soft goals – 2 of them in the shootout. Which goalie did you see in the shootout?
Hope the Habs aren’t too discouraged: these things happen – posts and a crazy goaltending performance.
I’m REALLY hoping that the Habs can play like this Wednesday against the Leafs and hopefully Scrivens gives up rebounds.
Yeah, win Wednesday is all I care about. The sens played alright, and got lucky, it happens. We still have 8 games straight with at least a point.
…difference Bishop
…no shame in this loss …We played Our hearts out
tough game for PK tonight.
Now the commentariat will tell us how stupid Therrien’s shootout choices were.
Meh, we don’t really have any good shootout takers past DD who is usually lights out…
People need to relax…this happens sometimes.
Hats off to Bishop tonight. Oh, and his goal posts.
Still no losses in regulation in 8
MT goes and put Gionta in the shootout when he is doing nothing. Where was Pacioretty?
Can’t win them all mes amis. Fortunate to get the point with all the bad luck. Kept fighting till the end. On to the next one…
trade Price for Bishop??????
relax, i’m kidding
Boone wrote save by Gionta’s name, he should have wrote no efin shot
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Who makes these F€€# choices? Could Pleks beat an open net?
now the post game radio show is 1/2 ruined
Binghamton 2 Habs 1. Good to see Price is better this year in shootouts. Now on to the slaughter at the ACC.
Price was atrocious in the shootout.
What was he doing on Regin’s goal?
He tried the ol’ spin-o-rama.
If our guys could score, he wouldn’t have to stop everybody. 2 goals out of 5 breakaways, that’s not that bad. Its not on him. What the hell is Gionta doing in the shootout
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
He’s not familiar with Regin, I suppose. He made a move with the left foot suggesting he’s gonna shoot and Price bit, could not recover in time.
Price is atrocious in most shootouts.
I guess that is why he won the gold in a shootout.
boooo, should’ve won that one
They played well. That’s the important thing. Every once in a while you run into a hot goalie. And let’s face it…shootouts are a lottery. Take the point and…ON TO THE LEAFS!!
MT again mystifies with SO choices!
Gionta instead of Pacioretti or Eller . Really?
or bouillon?
Nothing mystifying. Gionta has a very good shootout record.
History means nothing, last year Cole could score certainly not this year!
Your right, he has a great shoot out record….in 1974
All of our losses but 1 are within our division lol. Not good. 10-0-1 vs other teams
Bishop flat-out stole that game. Ottawa was very very average tonight.
His goalposts stole the game, not him.
Sucks to dominate but not away with the W.
Don’t think i’ve ever seen more lame penalty shots in all my life. Why is Gionta allways taking penalty shots?
Gionta…lol.
Goalie Bishop the difference Habs 45 SOG – Sens 24 SOG….
No, the goalie Bishop was not the difference. When you hit FIVE posts not finishing is the difference. I’ve never seen such a fluke win. It’s enfuriating.
edit: Oh, and Price sleeping on their only goal didn’t help either.
We got unlucky, that’s about it.
Hot goalie won it. F%$& it.
Exactually. Tough loss but we played well.
Mr. Biter
No Guts No Glory
I just can’t believe how Price tried to make that last shoot out save
Too bad we lost, but whatever, we got the point.
That goalie had horseshoes where the sun don’t shine, when he craps them out it will hurt.
Always sucks when nobodies when it for the other team.
lame… shootouts kinda suck
I don’t know why Therrien doesn’t try Markov or Subban on the SO.
____________________
DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!
I wonder that too.
Another thing – shootouts are so lame.
Best out of 3, then its 1-1 until someone scores and the other team does not – how stupid! Best out of 3 then best out of 3 again, that setup is so bad!
Complete fluke by Ottawa. Montreal was by far the better team. Unreal.
Except for the keepers.
Though its easy to blame carey for the stinker you can also blame the guys who can’t hit a half open net.
Agreed on this. Was it three or four posts in the end? And not outside posts where it wasn’t a goal anyway, these seemed destined for the net and were just off by half a centimetre. Bishop was brilliant and so very, very lucky. Should have easily been 4-1.
Yeah those losses suck, but hey, we got the point and we’ll be hungry.
Like someone said earlier, it’s the worst results for the Leafs haha!
At least we got a point.. I think that’s 8 straight games.
Tabernack.

No Guts No Glory
Ughghg the Shootout woes continue…damn it! Gionta needs his head checked…hes been terrible
Chunky needed more speed and nobody tested bishops glove.
Looked like he expected the deke. Needs to mix it up…
See you at the Leafs massacre!
Sad thing is I think you prefer Habs losing, perhaps you want them to get massacred, enjoy it yourself.
Stolen!! Habs played a good game. They ran into a hot goalie.
Cr*p!
Call the RCMP their was a robbery here tonight.
FU=K GIO
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Logical ice is bad in front of Bishop
F
Oh well.
Why Gionta???????? F’N BRUTAL.
Beautiful deke, but weird: I’ve never seen Price trip up like that..
Freakin Bishop.
yikes carey
Too exciting for Boone?
Gio to the panthers for a sun visor
Gio ‘s got too go!
gio wtf man.
gio is gonna shoot
the world knows that lol… whats the delay?
he tried a deke!!
Pullled the old lapierre on him
Ya cant tell who scores by the CHeers
here go gally
alrighteeee let’s put this to bed!
Come on little man.
Price might need a rest.
DEEDEE!
Sens got schooled tonite; but Bishop was ” otherworldly”
need tog o in fast vs a big guy like that, get him moving
shoulda just passed it to him
Chucky tentative
Doh
Sufferin’ silferburg!
Who will MT choose? Gorges, Boullion
Gally-up!
I hate when guys deke the goalie and don’t pause long enough to go upstairs. Just boils me blood b’y. but let’s see.
Blame Subban…..
