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.

    Therrien giving White a shot on the PK. If this with Jacques Martin he’d never give him another chance.

  2. Ice Storm says:

    Security!!!
    Who gave Wham! Free tickets and beer?!?!

  3. makka83 says:

    So, Budaj tomorrow?

  4. HardHabits says:

    Is Price/Budaj better than Halak/Elliott?

  5. Habitant in Surrey says:

    …do this mean Therrien has out-sexied sexy Kirk ? :)

  6. athanor says:

    I sure wish someone would stop that goof pounding the glass behind the goal

  7. kirbhabs says:

    DD is invisible tonight

  8. Mad Habber says:

    No it’s not okay for Boone to say that. Habs are known to blow leads.

  9. LUCASHOCKEY13 says:

    What word Danno

  10. kirbhabs says:

    Eller is progressing well, going to be a real solid two way player!

  11. Ice Storm says:

    @da Hema… I’m starting to assume they are going to win… Very strange! :)

  12. Habitant in Surrey says:

    …now, let’s not blow a shut-out for Budaj

    …very impressive dominating game against a good Carolina team

  13. Boomer says:

    get budaj the shutout!

  14. kirbhabs says:

    Good home stand, but back to back against the Rangers, that is the real test!

  15. HabFanSince72 says:

    How the hell do they call that penalty after lettign Bourque get mugged? Oh well.

  16. LUCASHOCKEY13 says:

    That’s a dumb call

  17. Danno says:

    Is it OK for Boone to say THAT word?

    Way to call it Tricolour!! Pfft!!

  19. LUCASHOCKEY13 says:

    This game is in the bag

  20. HabFanSince72 says:

    Officials doing their best here. Miss a flagrant foul on Bourque then call one on us.

  21. Da Hema says:

    What is this strange sense I feel now when I watch the Habs? Is it…pride?

  22. Les Canayens says:

    Many may disagree with me here, but the joking and laughing around after scoring a fluke goal is munition for (future) opponents.

    Most classy teams would just return to the bench quietly.

  23. Ice Storm says:

    Done deal… The mock cheer confirms Ward will be traded tonight!!!

  24. Habifax says:

    face off pct looks good tonight too

  25. otter649 says:

    Guys doing the game on TSN can not relate to a JC Tremblay lob/bounce shot for a goal – Too young…….

  26. LUCASHOCKEY13 says:

    OMG first a poor start now BAM!
    It’s 3-0

  27. Danno says:

    Where did the little trolls go?

    Ouch. Thank you Cam Ward. Love your work!

  29. HabFanSince72 says:

    “Done and dusted. On to NYC”
    Boone! Again with the hexing?

  30. Stevie.Ray says:

    Lavoie wrote an article saying COL is looking for a high pick/top prospect, and a young established player. I don’t know if Eller is as established as they are looking for, but his name has been thrown around the interwebz lately. Even if he isn’t, one of our 3 second round picks, Kristo, and Eller sounds fair. Although I’m not sure what they would do with Pleks, DD, Chuckie, and O’Reilly…

  31. Blondie says:

    Right on Kempie. Ward’s something like 7-2-1 with a 933 save percentage; it is indeed about time.

  32. NLhabsfan says:

    The place is rocking tonight

  33. kirbhabs says:

    White sits the last 7 minutes eh?

  34. CharlieHodgeFan says:

    A big part of couching is knowing when to get on and off the exercise bike. The Habs are now 9 goals for, 1 against while I have been pedalling on my ancient exercise bike. I was flagging, but I held on for Max.
    Line change.

    • gumper says:

      Hey Charlie, I know when I’m couching I don’t even think about the exercise bike ;)

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

  35. Habilis says:

    Great way for Patches to get off the schneid. Sweet.

  36. Sal from the Hammer says:

    3 enough?

  37. Captain aHab says:

    Think one of the coaches has told White: “no stupid penalties now.”?

    —————-
    Me skull and crossbones arn’t the only thing I plan on raisin’ tonight.

  38. Da Hema says:

    There is no such thing as an ugly goal…by a Hab.

  39. Habitant in Surrey says:

    …that was a JC Tremblay special :)

  40. makka83 says:

    Patches had to score like that! With so many missed opportunity up close. That’s how he scores. Hopefully this unblocks him.

  41. The Ghost of JohnBellyfull says:

    IF THEY BLOW THIS………

  42. Bill says:

    Just for fun I showed my 9 year old the old Fox Trax puck thing on YouTube … funny to watch a new generation laugh at that.

  43. Ice Storm says:

    Buckner lets another one in…..!!!

  44. Boomer says:

    Back to hibernation for the TROLLS

  45. HabFanSince72 says:

    I think Ward wanted to get the icing call.

  46. Habifax says:

    would have been icing

  47. Renegade says:

    Are you kidding me? Gotta be the craziest first goal of the season for any player ever.

  48. otter649 says:

    Pacs ala JC Tremblay….

  49. Ice Storm says:

    The more I see the Cooke hit on Karlsson, the more I think it was on purpose…. Who lifts their foot on that hit then slams it down on the other guys leg??

  50. kirbhabs says:

    Hey Boone, 2-0 requested, 3-0 given… :)

  51. HabFanSince72 says:

    Go home Staals.

  52. Habitant in Surrey says:
