For the first time this season, Bell Centre fans go home happy on a Saturday night.
Goals by Brendan Gallagher, David Desharnais and, in the third period, Tom Plekanec and Rene Bourque sealed the deal.
But the win could be costly: Brandan Gallagher, chosen as first star of the game, didn’t come out to toss pucks.
Gallagher was injured during the game, as were Max Pacioretty, Colby Armstrong and Alexei Emelin.
Canadiens had a 29-19 shot advantage but were outhit 32-20, which might account for the injuries.

L’antichambre is bringing up a good point with Cole. He’s only out there for 30 second shifts and when he gets back to the bench he’s out of breath… Is he Out of shape?
Hope he gets back to form cause last years Cole would be awesome
That’s what Brunet said earlier in the week.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
do not quote Benoit around here seems what ever he says is crap … Now I would say Benoit is right but you can not say that around here
Glenn Heally = Mike Milbury lite.
What an ass.
————————————-
Listen to the Smart Dog. He knows his poop!
That CBC crew is poor. All the good guys are with the sports networks
Contract up soon !
Freidman is getting dragged down to the level of Stock & Healy unfortuately…..
Fried tweets the broadcast lineup soits easy to avoid Cole and Galley!
If he’s equal to Mike Milbury, allow me to add hole to the word ass.
Of all the HNIC morons, I find Healy the most aggravating.
The empty net goal should be given to my Patchy.
The Flyers do look bad. Slow and poor in their own zone. Habs forecheck never looked so good. Goalkeeping issues as well
This was a great win but Philly just is not the measuring stick we need. Boston, the New York Rangers and the Devils are still the class of the East and the Habs MUST spank the Leafs at their next meeting. The Habs don’t play the West at all so we can’t measure them against The Sharks. Blues, Detroit. Great win for Budaj as there were a lot of nasty comments here about him. Good support from the team. Go Habs.
Hey, does anyone else see resemblences between Gallagher and a young Cammalleri?
Same low-down skating style, same quick release…
Hope he’s not too badly hurt, he’s a fantastic trigger-man.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
All I see is a young Gionta, same style of play, similar stature, similar off the charts work ethic and ability to win puck battles deslite giving up size, reach, etc.
Now DD….if he put on 25 pounds, softened up, aged 15 years and shaved I see that Renaud Lavoie guy.
Gally likes to mix it up more IMHO. More physical.
Gallagher has more teeth than Cammy……
That’ll change.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Great team win. The Habs passing is outstanding.
Two more things:
1. You don’t dominate the first period like that without a PK Subban and a Prust in the line-up to just win battles with sheer power at both ends of the rink.
2. Both Gals pushed face-first into the boards with no call and no retribution from Prust. This is wrong.
————————————-
Listen to the Smart Dog. He knows his poop!
In other news, the dirty Leafs won and Ottawa may not score again this season.
Still, we’re first.
ottawa is screwed.
didn’t we see this movie first hand last season?

Give them Kaberle.
I just want to say I called it. Said Budaj would have a good performance in page 1 of the comments.
Go Habs Go!

You did indeed!
White was not in the lineup though……lol
Excellent win for the Habs. So happy for Budaj, I’m sure this victory will give him a lot of confidence moving forward. Hope Gallagher & Max Pac are alright.
Any word on Gallagher?

It’s occasionally assuring to know some things never change. The Flyers are a classless and revolting organization — always has been, always will be.
Great win, but injuries are worrisome.
Who would have thought that we would be in 2nd place in the conference after 14 games in a 48 game season. Hopefully we continue playing like this!
Nice win, but Habs made it too hard on themselves. Philly should have been put away in the 2nd. Need to clean up those lazy penalties and have more of a killer instinct.
…Our usually classy rinkside announcer sounding verry Buffaloesque
He’s a sub.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
need an injury report. galagher hit his head on the rim of boards and shoulder twisted awkwardly as he crashed in. punched out by way bigger leaf, now run by schenn. not a hab did a thing in either case. probably did not wanna join white. mt leaves rookies unprotected with white benching.

Now your reachin’, Slick. You’ve taken a shot at Gionta, Budaj and a few others tonight but nothing sticks. Keep firin’ ‘em out though.
***SUBBANGIN’ NOW BABY!!!***
So, I actually watched Flyers vs. Leafs earlier in the week, and I couldn’t understand why people were saying, “This is going to be a measuring stick game for the Habs…”
The only thing we were ever going to be able to measure after this game was how effectively we beat a crappy team.
Which is what we measured in Florida. Twice.
This season’s a strange one, and the only two teams that have played with any kind of consistency are the Booins and the Hawks.
Crazily enough, we’re on the second tier with the Leafs. :-/
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Couldn’t agree more. Philly stinks this year. Only a measuring stick if we’d have lost a should-win game.
First in the Northeast, now that sounds mighty fine. I just hope this win didn’t cost us Gally or Patches.
or both!
…Budaj deserved 2nd Star behind Gallagher
for one ssave come on Chris
Budaj deserved one as well.
maybe mt will earn what every junior coach knows, in back to back games where you are goin to split the goalies….play the back up in the first game. team is tired in second game so will need your no 1 goalie. in the back to back jets, sens games. price should have had the sens in ottawa on the second night. not the low scoring jets at the bell center. terrbile call by mt.

That arena announcer is trying way too hard.
oooh…
Awkward.
Gallagher 1st star.
No appearance.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Gallagher 1st star but can’t come out.
Sucks. What a player. Hope he’s not concussed.
Full Breezer 4 Life
imagine conference finals vs Leafs lol
B R A V O !!
great game.. hope the injuries are just minor.
ho’d a thunk it? First in the Northeast
Good win.
Good result, but too many injuries
yea baby!!!
good for budaj.
Yay!
Hope those injuries aren’t anything serious.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
1st in the Northeast and 2nd in the East. Yeah baby! Helping me to forget last Saturday’s game

***SUBBANGIN’ NOW BABY!!!***
You mean our puny Habs actually beat those unbeatable Flyers? Couldn’t be.
Had to chuckle at the random idiot comments tonight…including Pleks done, DD useless, Budaj worthless, and on and on…the ability to GM from a remote computer screen is a powerful aphrodisiac I guess.
***SUBBANGIN’ NOW BABY!!!***
Never seen that in 50 years…. nice win!
Those clock keepers are morons
Nice shot to the chops by Bourque but whatever, 1st place Baby!!!!!
A Gordie Howe Special.

There we go. Nice elbow to the chops Bork Bork Bork!
Notice Prust and Moen to end game
if you look at the replay it looks like bourque plants an elbow in the flyers dman’s face
It was a hockey play…clearly.

I do not remember seeing that call before … but then I am in the early stages of Alzheimer’s.

oh common!!!!
Jeezus.
It seems funny that a time out was called then they come back & take out two of our players……………were they told to do this……The skunks with the strips have no eyes they just stand there & watch LOL
ouch
OH man… this is crazy!
When was the last time we scored an EN goal I can’t remember?
I think it was Obyrne
Giroux has been gunning for Emelin all night…..finally got him
now I remember why I hate the flyers…
Ah, the Injury BUG returns with Vengeance!!!
price should go for it
I am very surprised that there have not been any fights thus far
No fight = No extra motivation boost for the losing team.
Looked like a Charleyhorse on Yemmy.

Holly CRAP NO CALL!!!
another injury?.. mannnn!
no hooking call there on bourque? really?
BOOOO DIE! what a save!
just taking a minute to remind myself how glad i am that i am not seeing gill, hamerlk, kabby and gomez out there with gautier up in the press box doing his best don notts imatations

Ole singers, what are you doing? Ole singers…STAHP!
Its an appropriate time to Ole… 2 goal lead.. team is playing well..
And besides, Ole is just a |we’re having a good time” call.
The one you mean is the Na Na Na Goodbye.

Nice save by that stinkin Budaj..
