A note to fans of the liveblog: There have been some problems with the HIO site being a bit slow during games this season due to high traffic. The Gazette and our HIO technical staff are aware of the problem and we’re working on a solution to fix it.
There were 38 seconds left in overtime when Andrei Markov scored on a Canadiens power-play to secure a hard-fought 4-3 win.
The Canadiuens had blown a 3-1 third-period lead.
It was Markov’s fourth goal of the young season.
The Devils came into the Bell Centre as the only undefeated team in the Eastern Conference.
Martin Brodeur had given up only three goals through his first three starts.
BIG win.
What a difference a year makes:
It took the Canadiens 10 starts to secure their third win last season.

Arghh..christ.
Cole on third goal & Gorges not looking so good on the last two goals…..
We need less dd/cole/Eller and more gally
Thank you Mr. Softie…..
Hope they can at least salvage a point here…
What a junker… gah!
Cole, play some defense please and tie your man up
Love Cole, but that one’s on him.

Can we just scratch eller thanks
I would change my name to bluewhitered but I don’t want to start a controversy
that was a 5 man (lack of) effort

Last two goals Price not holding the post.
*ducks for cover*
Mind you the last two goals displayed numerous break downs in play on the Habs side.
I can see that on the last one, but the powerplay goal he made the pad save coming from other post and it was then chipped in, I don’t follow?
He left a huge gap between his skate and the post on the PP goal. It wasn’t soft per se but had he moved over to the post rather than leave that gap the save would’ve been made. Nobody’s perfect. Can’t save them all.
Cole has to cover him in front of the net…. watching.
Go Habs Go!

He and Eller both appear to be off. Even the forecheck they did just prior to puck getting out of jersey zone, they just seem out of position
That was just sloppy

Ok, that’s on Price.
Cole.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

McDonald s is amazing
Both high sticks were legitimate. One just wishes the refs would have seen only one…
Markov at 22:25 TOI so far.
What a monster!

First time watching the Habs this year..they look snappy. Definately playing with a little swagger and confidence in comparison to many games last year. But they will be sorely tested with this condensed schedule.Better get Cole et al scoring soon.
Eller looks depressed
Amen Boone about the JM 3rd period shell!
Dont start that oleoleole shit yet!!! On carey bar the door.
OLE OLE OLE… literally means “Go Go Go”
Its the same as saying “Go Habs Go”
Its not the same as the “Na Na Na Na kiss him goodbye song”
Go Habs Go!

Honestly, we totally deserve to win this game. We have 3 legit goals, the NJ goals were a fluke bounce and a free gift from the refs. WTF.
Dont start that oleoleole shit yet!!! On carey bar the door
Excellent shift by Armstrong and White and Moen
A nice crash and bang 4th line. Hemmed them in for a good while.
Even after what Therrien said the other day…. Eller is playing on the perimeter right now… In more ways than one
The games we lose this year Will not be because of a single player’s lack of results or because of effort…
It will most likely be because of undisciplined penalties
18 & he’s only gonna get better.
Total phantom call on Chucky…Even the NJ announcers were baffled about what was called there.
It’s like they punish Chucky and Prust for scoring…..
it would be nice if somone would knock the ref on his ass
Moen was weak in front on that….
why did we get 2 penalties…
I saw Prust’s high stick, but what did Chuk do?
Go Habs Go!

High-sticked Zidlicky. I didn’t see it either until the replay.

2 minutes for being so young
Dag nab it!

“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
I hate it when refs decide the game score.
YES!!! Glachenyuk has proved himself as NHL caliber this game, Gallagher too! Goals from White AND Prust! Playoff race, here we come! I was starting to see the old lead conservation in the 2cd period, Therrien really lit a fire underneath this guy for the 3rd! Good team spirit.
Too bad, I missed that goal.
I love it when we get to see how awesome Price is!!!
That didn’t take long
just positive thinking ppl
Sticks on the ice boys
Fak….

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
wtf?
Gally in the sin bin. Bench him!
PRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In God we Prust
Only question that remains about Galchenyuk is which Vet is he going to live with?
Should be Plekanec in my opinion. He’s our best all-around forward if you take “veteranship” into account. Cole is a baby, and he might retire, ya know.
The Habs have had a hard time finding secondary scoring since quite a while now. Always one line. Now the Habs have secondary, tertiary and quaternary scoring.
In Prust We Trust
All others pay cash!

Another takedown by:
G’sP!!!!
Pruster! Love this guy.

“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
Prust!!! C”mon how can you not Love this guy?
I think Therrien should make the Galchenyuk line on the 2nd top six. They’re working really well.
I think we have a new number one line lol….
Brodeur is Prustrated by that goal

What sweet hands by our boy Chucky
That was sweet!
GALLY WHAT A MOVE! PRUST! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If this was last year, Eller would have been traded between periods, Colby would be on the 1st line, Kaberle and Bouillon would be running the power play, Gallagher would now be benched, the Habs would be lined up on their blue line repelling wave after wave of Devil forays until they collapsed with exhaustion in the early part of the 3rd turning their 2-1 lead into a solid 4-2 loss.
go on…..:-)
sweet!
YESSSSSS

What a feed by Galchenyuk, that is what elite players do!
PRUSTYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

By the way, I was watching Patrick Elias being interviewed in MSG. It looks like he loves playing here at the Bell Centre. Also, he’s a UFA next season.
you thinking what i’m thinking?…….
Gally 0-5 on faceoffs, maybe we should just forget about him as a center and concentrate on developing him as a winger……
Or train him on faceoff work and try to make him better.
____________________
DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!
trust me, having watched him in Sarnia, he is much better as a winger.
18 years old, I think more than 3 games at center may be needed to make that move.
Sens lost..good…thats 2 in a row..maybe that will shut them up for a few days at least…
That link worked, thank you!! So thrilled for the kids
Ok. When do AG27 and DD switch places. Love to see Galchenyuk on 1st line.
Drive for 25. 2012-2013. Max-Pac for Conn Smyth.
I BELIEVE!
What level of competition did DD play against last season?
Were they sheltered, while Plekanec and partially Eller played against top lines?
I think with Therrien’s way of coaching and his style probably the reason why Patches, DD, Cole are having a hard time playing. They need to get used to the system. Too bad, its only a shortened season to do some fixing.
DD is simply coming crashing down to earth. He had a fluke season last year, playing with team’s best wingers. 1 sole skill (passing in his case) is not enough in NHL.
I tell you what I am loving Bourque. What a difference from last year. He is working like a dog. Not paying off for him yet tonight but the effort is undeniable.
Oh ya, remove DD line from PP, insert Chucky’s line.
For a $3.3M, his current level of play is actually a really good value.
Yea I’m a big fan when he plays like this. I’d vote him 3rd star so far tonight
