Damn, it’s risky to play the smurfs line late in the 3rd period
I’ll say it again… TB has been incredibly lucky. So many bounces.
6 hits by Emelin so far tonight to lead both teams. He’s doing with a cage on too.
Emelin is an animal.

Beast.
Quick offside whistle?
Eller has to shoot there, but why take a slap shot from 20 feet out? WTF? Pick a spot.
Our simply can’t contain even an average line from the back of our net to the slot. Time and time again you see the little chip in front paying dividends…
That said, we’re winning this one. Eller is going to bury them when they pull their goalie.
Cammy-Pleks-Gio are our third line as it stands. Blunden seems more useful.
Can we call Eller-Kostitsyn-Moen “Voltron”? They really become a force when they play together.

He deserves it
From a strictly fantasy hockey perspective, I’d appreciate if it were AK46.

You called it fella. I have Cole in a different league, but I needed the Kostits goal more.

skillzy wouldev been the best. great win!!!
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.
sounds like gambling, never bet for or against habs
TB is getting away with murder!! Pleks/Cammy should be on the fourth line!!!! They’re Brutal in the defensive zone.
Smurf line is useless, can’t say I’m surprised.
Blunden on the attack!
Trade him for Getzlaf…straight up. DO IT PG!!!
***Subbang Baby!!!***
No penalty? WTF.
Not wearing a yellow and black sweater

How is the hold on Blunden not a penalty? The refs are already in the car on the way home!
1991 was the last time lions won a play off game
Really? Wow, I would have thought it was like 50 years ago.
How the Jesus does Joffrey Lupul have 19 goals? Contract year?

Moen has more goals than Zetterberg
great to see this team forechecking! Thank god JM is gone.
No kidding. If we are going to blow a 3rd period lead i would rather do it like this instead of spending the entire period in our own zone
yup.
This period is making JM roll in his grave.
I don’t miss Jacques Martin…at all.
same.
agreed
Keep Pleks on the 4th line! Isn’t that pressure what we’ve been screaming for! (please insert sarcasm in the voice in your head when you read this)

14-7 Lions
If the Habs were an NFL team, who would we be?
As much as I hate Dallas, I’d say the Cowboys…A former elite marquee team that hasn’t been relevant to a title in a long time.
Even the Tampa announcer said there has been “a lack of whistles” after the last flurry of blatant TB penalties that weren’t called.
Haha, love the crowd going off on the reffing…
I guess nothing is a penalty anymore tonight.
Kremelinite!
RDS is 2 minutes behind CBC….
(No jokes please)
Love to see Emelin handle Malone.
MAB is a joke, how on earth is he plus-8?
Is it just me or does Ryan Malone really not like being hit?

TB is so lucky. They should be down 5 by now.

Just me, or does it seem Andrei Kostitsyn might really like playing for RC?

Kostitsyn is just nuts these days
Slick moves by AK.
wings come back to tie to 3-3!!
yes!!
We went into the third period with a one-goal lead against the Jets and went on a rampage. Do it again Habs.

“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
Is Blunden ever likely to drop ‘em, or is he just another one of our pacifist type tough guys?
Not a fighter.
It’s so painful to see Gomez’s stats man.. 0 G.. 4 A.. granted he only played 16 games but cmon..
Craig Anderson has more points. Cam Ward has more goals. Hal Gill has twice the points as Gomez…
DUMP THIS GUY PLEASE.
“Canadiens 12-1-3 when leading after two”
Really?
Let’s just be thankful the war room in Toronto didn’t call and add time to the clock.

“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
Was going to ask if Gomez will return to finish of the season strong and score more goals than Eller did last game. Have lowered my expectations. Who will score more goals this season, Gomez or Blunden?
2P 00:34 Twice they’ve found Gorges as the trailer. And twice he’s shot right at Biron’s crest
…man you can tell Boone has never played hockey. Garon is at LEAST 5 feet outside of the crease if not more…those shots would have to been perfect to even have a chance of getting by a goalie that far out of his net. Since Gorges isn’t known for his shooting prowess and slap shot is in itself not very accurate, there is really no reason to even point this out.
That shot needs to go short side. There’s no way he can score far side on that shot with garon out so far.

lets go boys close this one out!!
Remember when……
“Corson’s Big Suspension: The NHL suspended Corson for 10 games during the 1991-92 season for leaving Montreal’s bench to start a fight with 4:10 remaining in the third period of the Canadiens’ Nov. 2, 1991, game vs. Buffalo. Corson had come onto the ice as a sixth skater after referee Don Koharski had called a delayed penalty against the Sabres’ Colinn Patterson. Corson, however, charged right at Buffalo’s Brad Miller, starting a fight that led to a game misconduct. The 10-game suspension was automatically assessed due to an NHL rule that punished players who came onto the ice with the intent of fighting. As a result, Corson did not return to Montreal’s lineup until the Habs’ Nov. 25, 1991, game vs. Boston.”
Corson was actually on the ice legally after a line change and was suspended. Lucy steps onto the ice illegally and his is over-ruled. Ah yes the league always cheats to help the Habs doesn’t it Bruin fans?
Hey Boone, the TB goaltender is Mathieu Garon, not the Rangers back-up.
Hell no!
In response to?
Dodged the late period collapse on that one.
The guys need to play like their pissed off and take this one. Don’t wait for Stamkos and co to figure out the game’s started…
Habs looked like clearly the better team in that 20.
Does a goal after the peroid still count if it is a “continuation”?
Only if Tampa scores it
Question for the commentariat: would you trade Pleks and Cammy for Jeff Carter and RJ Umberger?
1. Hell Yes
2. Yes
3. Maybe
4. No
5. Hell No
No, I would not.
“If ownership cared about Habs fans, or Habs wins the Habs would play home games in the last two weeks of December”
- Sean Bonjovi
Your question should be rhetorical. (1), of course: Carter + Umb = better offense. Eller can take over as the top defensive center.
Yes. Pleks is good, but Carter can score many goals, and RJ can score big goals. Also, both have some size, whereas ours are small, and ill take my chances on small guys who are competitive like Gionta and DD, not cammy.
Nope. Pleks + AK for Getzlaf + 2nd rounder. Do it, Pierre!
Bobcat Bob
Absolutely no — are you nuts???
Beware the late one.
The extra-late one, not so much…
________________________________________
“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
Man, what is it with this team and the beginnings and ends of periods?
Anyone remember when Corson got into a fight as the lines were changing and even though he was still on the ice and never left the ice, he was given a ten game suspension for it because the guy replacing him was on the ice when Corson dropped the gloves? Funny how the NHL’s rules keep changing as it suits the Bruins at any point in time.
Vaguely, but yes. That was a long time ago. And totally relevant. Nice work.

Shoot out in new Orleans
Isn’t it 7-7 in the 2nd?
Frack that was close.
Cole and Max Power have been great tonight. Nice stop-up move by Cole
Nice seeing them skate for an entire period
yes Bob…that is the goalie…at least he knows who were playing against tonight..well so far…
Oh and I love Cole..I was thrilled when they signed him..and he has not disappointed me not even for one second..
Gill goes down with Moore’s stick between his legs, and there’s no penalty. How is that possible?
Gill’s not a Bruin (anymore), Moore’s not a Hab (anymore either)
Hey Cole… how is a save made in front of the goalie
We need another 4th line push.
Come on… Put the Blundenator in there.
You know Eller will score tonight. It’s coming…
No need to state the obvious but…we need the next one ’cause Tampa will most certainly score another goal in this game.
“I figure PG has one or 2 moves left to bring the Habs that extra step closer to perhaps being the best in the league.” – Einstein
Or after the game since it could be considered a continuation of the game….
Hey i didnt know Randy Ladouceur was an anglo…
Love the smile on Eller’s face..he’s really coming in to his own now that he can skate more
Is it just me, or is Campoli really sucking out there tonight?
No. He sucks.
AK has drilled a couple of guys today.
The plex line is getting shifts against tampa’s 4th line. Lack of confidence in the plex line or just trying to get them going?

I love Emelin.
+10
not to harp on my new TV…but holy shit..watching this game in 55 glorious inches of LCD/LED with brand new Bose suround sound speakers is well…almost as good as…well you guys figure that out…
Almost as good as being there? lol
Beer and peanuts?
A Family Guy marathon?
What? What? Tell us.
***Subbang Baby!!!***
lol @ Emelin throwing St-Louis around like a rag doll almost every shift
Man I love emelin

hahaha the fans knew that was not off side…
Cammy really is too small and weak to compete out there, even Gionta seems much stronger and more competitive by comparison. If theres a guy i would trade, and not upset the balance of the team, it would be cammy to pick up someone young or player with high long term potential, or a late 1st rounder. Pax or Eller can be the “playoff scorers”. Its just too frustrating watching Cammy play.
Mathieu Garon usually plays like an all-star against us. Not tonight though.
Boone, that was a terrible offside call. That puck was never even partially out, much less all the way.
If we had yellow and black uniforms that goal would have been good.

“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
Letang would have been suspended for hitting Pacioretty too
Exactly what I was thinking haha. Buck the Fruins.
you know if it had been Tampa that scores that goal, it would have stood.
Only if the whistle blew before the puck went in though….
Could be the continuation of the play
Wonder how long after the whistle the play is continued… we should just keep going until the buzzer goes at the end of the period, just in case.
