Your Montreal Canadiens blew a 3-1 lead and lost 4-3.
Marc-André Bergeron and Vincent Lecavalier scored third-period goals, and the Canadiens were beaten for the 14th time in a game they led.
Mathieu Garon was spectacular.
Carey Price wasn’t.
The loss dropped the Canadiuens into 12th place in the Eastern Conference … and Carolina is getting close.
MORNING SKATE AUDIO: Randy Cunneyworth | Hal Gill | Josh Gorges | Raphael Diaz | Martin St. Louis | Mathieu Garon | Tom Pyatt

Don’t blame the Refs people.
Blame these guys for ONCE AGAIN not doing what NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE 3RD PERIOD to finish off the other team.
*sigh*

Put the “tank” back on the tracks. Beat the Sens and feelin’ kinda’ sporty? You must be joking. This team sucksssssssssssssssss!
Nice game, boys!
Good to see how much you want it, against a depleted defense!!
Yep: bad bad by Cole.
Well you got that one right. Got the DD one completely wrong.

http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Apostrophes
You may be right on DD–but it looked like he was supposed to have the Bolt who scored (Gomez has been flogged here for less…)
Don’t compare DD to gomez. Please. There is no comparison.

That’s right: Scott Gomez is a potential HoF player — DD (for all his virtues) isn;t.
Exactly. I’m glad we agree. Gomez hasn’t scored a goal in 11 months. DD scored tonight.

Couple of softies!
Vintage bad Price, on his knees before the shot!
I though he outgrew that!

What does the Commissioner of the NHL do?
In short, a league commissioner is the action man for the Board of Governors.
They tell him what they want done and he works to make it happen through his subordinates while making sure that individual franchises play by the rules.
******** Translated if you haven’t won the Stanley Cup in 40 years your NHL team is becoming irrelevant in a sports mad city long behind MLB, NFL and NBA teams, you just tell the commissioner(who you gave a new contract at 7 plus million per) to make it happen and the rules are bent sufficiently to action the command.
No review for that one. TB has dominated since gut-check time unfortunately …

I’m putting the blame on Boone jinxing us with the comment about feeling better entering the 3rd with RC than JM.
………………………
i was gonna say why the hell do people pound on the glass…gotta be one of the stupidest things i have ever seen
second place is just the first loser
Moen is -3 this game and Subban is -2. Pick it up Les Boys…
Heya! My maaan!
Good to see you buddy.
So were giving up two goal leads a result of Martin’s sitting back system or a result of the players on this team not being able to close out games?
Well, for tonight anyway, the refs sure had a hand in it.
Ref blew the whistle about ten times on that debacle in front of the net. Wonder what would have happened if the puck subsequently trickled in.
So when the referee blows the whistle now, what exactly does that mean? Apparently, anything that happens after the whistle still counts, so why should either team stop when they hear the whistle?
The Candiens should just throw in the towel on competing in the NHL. They are no better than a group of reenactors in early July in Southern Pennsylvania wearing Confederate uniforms trying to revive spirits at Gettysburg!
fn carey…
“he does these things not because they are easy!!!!”
I’d call the 2nd goal soft, the 3rd one, judging by Pricey’s reaction, he didn’t see it coming until it was basically past him.

Now THAT was a nice save, Carey!

Gee I’m so proud to be cheering for the same team as the ape in the front row wearing number 79 hammering on the glass whenever the puck is near him.
You saw that too eh? lol
maxpac missing that point blank chance before they tied it up looks pretty big now.
Yup, he needed to bury that, shot it right at him unfortunately.
Yup

What absolute bull#%$ – The Habs better win this game or they should play it under protest. Chris Lee could not ref a pee wee game properly. When is the league going to smarten up????
I really like that defence man Emelin…
What a beauty of a hit by Emelin. Boom!
Emelin just loves to crush people.
WHAT A HIT
Surprised Toronto didn’t review that hand pass call
How was that a goal and not high stick? Why did Price twitch on the shot. Seemed to me it was redirected by a high stick. That makes no sense. Something smells bad on that goal.
if this happens Saturday night you guys will hear me screaming obscenities on your TV’s.
Looking frustrated, not sure that’s the right attitude … they need to focus and get the next goal. Carey needs to tighten it up … could’ve had both of those last two Toronto goals.

Would be nice to see AK/Plex get something going
Ah, good. They don’t have the lead anymore. Price should be solid now.
Just get the miserable loser point and move on, er I mean tank!
This will tell us what they’ve got. Whole lot of adversity this year and this is the time to make your stand! Come on Habs!! Keep cool and get it done.

You know, I’ve stopped caring about this team for this year. But a game like this really gets me hot under the collar. Habs getting jobbed.

It’s a Mab Mab world…
Screwed by T.O. twice in one game. Unreal.
Can we get one game where we don’t cry non stop about the reffing? Do any of you want any games that do not involve the Habs. Reffing sucks for all teams (except Boston & Toronto) pretty evenly.
Jimv is our biggest ref-whiner here at HIO. Everyone needs a role.

proud of it.
and apparently, Tampa Bay.
Quelle surprise (or something like that)
Way to defend there, Cammy. Block it with your hand or take one for the team. Don’t duck like a guy who has two toiletry bags.
of course
second place is just the first loser
If St. Louis touches the puck and it’s over his head, it’s still good because he’s too short to reach the crossbar.

GO HABS GO! 2011-12 is probably not our year!

Let’s see what the RC Habs are made of now!
Anyone got a link to the other reviewed goal? I’ve been watching Canada vs. How-Many-Can-We-Score, and missed the first and second lightning goals.
I think this one is a high stick.
Time for the make up call
That was a high stick for sure
________________________________________
“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
Stick was well over his head when he deflected it.
Does his head even reach the crossbar?
Does it matter? He touched it over his shoulders, the play is automatically dead when it happens.
Ugly goal. Price needs that one.

pretty tough on the deflection, i don’t know about that.
If it was deflected then it won’t count. In theory.

In theory but theory and reality are different as it comes to officiating with the Habs sadly.
He didn’t see it.

And of course it WILL be a good goal – right? Le Sigh.
The league and refs got what they wanted.
This review is just to please the Habs fans
That is what i was thinking

Perhaps LL should have gone off after his stick broke — that was a long shift for him
Now that BS goal hurts even more.

When was the last time the Canadiens had 3 players on the Canadian WJC team with Beaulieu, Bournival and Gallagher? The last time I can remember they had more than 1 player on the team was Price and Chipchura.
For we polloi, why is it a “priority” to get Campoli out of Montreal? Why the urgency?
because he’s sitting in the press box taking up capspace.
Don;t we need the D backup?
OK, WTF is with the officiating in this league? Does one have a different set of rules than the next? How many times were we burned on an exact same play only to get an explanation that totally is contradicting to the one we got tonight? Hypocrites, to say the least..
The refs simply make up the rules as they go along…
Cue the Benny Hill music again:

Yes, I’m a Hab fan..Wanna fight about it?
and no one has to answer to it. give it 10yrs and it will be called NHEL. if not now, then in whispers…JOKE!!
Conan: Almost 20 years of pitiless cumber! No rest, no sleep like other men. And yet the spring wind blows, Subotai. Have you ever felt such a wind?
Subotai: They blow where I live too. In the north of every man’s heart.
Conan: It’s never too late, Subotai.
Subotai: No. It would only lead me back here another day. In even worse company.
Conan: For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.
Waw what a game going on!
Is it me or is there less wissles then normal.
The Habs are def a dif hockey team!
Great forth line!
Did any habs prospects score today in the Canada game?
Go Habs Go!
In case some have not seen this: (A. P. Renaud Lavoie)
1) Markov to meet his doctor next week to get the green light to start skating
2) White will likely go down to Hamilton in order to get back in shape!
I can’t believe what I am reading. Are you kidding me a good goal. How many times over the years this has happen to us. No GD way can you pick and choose a quick whistle. A whistle is a whistle no F&^% goal fired that idoit.
Maybe Habs management could get an explanation for the goal from the NHL after the game.
Our team will persevere in spite of the officiating.
Beaulieu got an assist on Canada’s 7th goal.
