Liveblog: Canadiens break open tight one, beat Carolina 3-0

Bourque

Three third-period goals – two within 18 seconds _ broke up a scoreless game and propelled your Montreal Canadiens to their 10th win of the season.
Brandon Prust got it going on a pretty feed from rookie Alex Galchenyuk.
Then Cam Ward looked horrible on a rising shot by Tomas Plekanec, which bounced in over the Carolina’s goaltender for Pleks’s eighth of the season, and a long J.C. Tremblay knuckler that was Max Pacioretty’s first of the season.

Peter Budaj made 19 saves for the shutout.

Canadiens had 26 shots on Ward.

  13. LUCASHOCKEY13 says:

    Semin might tie this up

  14. kirbhabs says:

    I do not think Emelin wants to tempt farmboy Stall….

  15. Habifax says:

    need to pick up da pace now

  16. Renegade says:

    White has been strong defensively tonight, seen him pick up a couple of loose pucks in dangerous territory tonight and skate/clear them out safely.

    As upset as I was with his muck up a few games ago against the Sabres, if he continues playing like this every game, all will be forgiven.

  17. Sal from the Hammer says:

    Bourque has those games where he is very casual with the puck

  18. shootdapuck says:

    They’re backing op faster than tanks in the Sinai 1967!

  19. Propwash says:

    For future reference, don’t mention the word that shall not be mentioned…

  20. Mad Habber says:

    Rebounds don’t matter so much so long as the aren’t landing on opponents sticks.

  21. LUCASHOCKEY13 says:

    Hope fully we win this

  22. Twillingater says:

    What’s the odds in Vegas that Max will score a goal this season?

  23. The Ghost of JohnBellyfull says:

    we need another one, or else we will loose the game.

  24. jctremblay says:

    When did we become the Jersey Devils? LOL..shutouts with one goal for..I’ll take it though

  25. kirbhabs says:

    Can not get through the Neutral zone….

  26. HabFanSince72 says:

    Worried….

  27. Habitant in Surrey says:

    …Ryan White is the kind of Player both Bergevin and Therrien love

    …He won’t be given up on nor traded unless He does something indiscrete with either of Their daughters

  28. LUCASHOCKEY13 says:

    Still 3-0 In for the laffs

  29. Ice Storm says:

    Really like the move of Chucky to wing… Less thinking, more playing out there… Seems to me he has been thinking a lot about system play, hanging out on perimeter, shy of the body….
    Perhaps wary of knee a bit in the show??

  30. kirbhabs says:

    Cole is slow on the puck persuite this year, I do not think he is into it…

  31. shootdapuck says:

    Boone how many big rebounds?

  32. LUCASHOCKEY13 says:

    Yyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeesssssssss!

    Gggggggooooaaaaaaaalllllll!!!!!!

  33. Habifax says:

    rebounds huge from budaj

  34. Boomer says:

    White is playing good defensively

  35. Habitant in Surrey says:

    ..love Diaz’s second-efforts …doesn’t give up

  36. VancouverHab says:

    Do I believe John Randorf or Mr. Boone on the caller of the timeout?

  37. Adidess says:

    Lavoie was saying the team is adamant, not moving from $3.5M per for 2 years offer (Duchesne money). Will probably end in a trade is his prediction. Which you should take with a grain of salt

  38. Habifax says:

    if the plexs line can shut down the staal line we may win

  39. Habitant in Surrey says:

    …Galchenyuk’s confidence growing and growing

  40. Habifax says:

    why did prust go behind the net?

  41. LUCASHOCKEY13 says:

    Time outs sould only be for the last
    Part of the game

  42. commandant says:

    That Galchenyuk kid is pretty freaking good. And my goodness, he seems to get better and more confident every game.

  43. Bill says:

    Frig. That is some release Chucky has on the wrist shot.

  44. db says:

    TSN said its a Carolina timeout? Thanks Muller?

  45. Propwash says:

    Chucky again with some slickness

  46. shootdapuck says:

    MT does know about timeouts!

  47. Bill says:

    Third straight game with an icing time-out?

  48. Habitant in Surrey says:

    …Silvferberg looks like a good one … Ottawa has some exciting kids developing …not My team, but Karlson’s possible career alternating injury is a bummer

    …reminds Me of Serge Savard’s broken legs which changed Savard’s game

    …the rookie Savard at the time was almost Bobby Orr-like in My eyes

    …there was only one Bobby Orr, but Serge looked like, then, that He would become the second most exciting offensive D-man of that generation

    …with today’s medical procedures and physiotherapy I hope it goes well for Karlson

  49. kirbhabs says:

    A little old school in front of the net there…. I thought the refs band that

  50. disgustedhabsfan says:

    Is it just me or is Bobby Dollas an ass.

  51. The Ghost of JohnBellyfull says:

    If MT doesn’t want Semin in his end he could just wear a condom….

  52. LUCASHOCKEY13 says:

    5000!

  53. Habifax says:

    how many times can cole fall in one shift?

  54. Bill says:

    Cole knocked down thrice in front of the net last sequence, referees?

  55. db says:

    How many crosschecks in the back can Cole take?

  56. LUCASHOCKEY13 says:

    Yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hopefully with this great line they score

  57. theox_8 says:

    Maybe Chucky getting injured last year was a blessing in disguise because had he not been I would have to think he would have surpassed Yakupov. This calls for another drink!!

  58. jols101 says:

    Boone, for a guy that loves that kid you throw a lot of darts at him. Cut him some slack when he goes 5 plus minutes between shifts sometimes. Plus he just turned 19.

  59. gumper says:

    Anybody know what Lavoie was saying about O’Reilly? My high school French does not serve me well.

    The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane.

  60. Ice Storm says:

    In Goals we Prust

  61. The Jackal says:

    And the HIO comments go positive!

  62. otter649 says:

    Now I can have a drink……

    Good signing by Bergevin = Prust.

  64. The Ghost of JohnBellyfull says:

  65. Danno says:
