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.

Take away that last Toronto loss and we would all think the Habs were a juggernaut. Mystifying how bad they were in that game. Won four straight since, despite the theories of many insecure/homoerotic posters here that the Habs were emasculated by the Leafs brawlers.

You would think we had Semin on our side seeing how we ended up with all the joy and the smiles -)
That said, Carolina is the one left with the mess to clean up

The cranial flatulence of PJ Stock:
“On peut play cette game tres simplement”
“Le game est tous de hard work”
” I have a pet peeve”
We play tomorrow night, the Pens and Devils do not. So if we win, we will be a point ahead of both teams with the same number of games played. We’ll also be first in the East for at least one night.
Git er done!
A healthy Habs team is a competive/winning team compared to last season’s beatup & injured team…….
Bravo to Budaj who got the job done and then some.
This is very reassuring and will come in handy when Price needs to be rested. It will instill confidence in the team and translate into more points and a more solid finish in the standings.

“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
That was a great team effort. I’m glad for Budaj getting the shut-out
there’s been so many negative things said about him from time to time. Great job everyone. Congrats to MT and his coaching staff. They’re doing an excellent job and the team seems happy unlike last year ….
People like to say negative things about Budaj so they can come back later to say I told you so but when he plays well those folks disappear & have nothing to say……
Budaj should have had a win in Buffalo if it hadn’t been for White going berserk and for Tim Peel allowing that goal even though Budaj was pushed into the net.
The Ottawa game should have been a lot closer as well (White went nuts that game too).
So he isn’t doing too bad, I must say.
Good game guys..that’s the way to do it……………go FORWARD in the games ahead………..you can do it,I BELIEVE
Habs back in first place in NE Division with Boston 2 games in hand…
Too many English questions for the kindly ole coach.
So,l’Antichambre cuts it off.
Therien gives reasoned, informative answers unlike the platitudes of the Count
________________________________________
“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
L’Antichambre doesn’t consider answers to be reasoned or informative unless they’re given in French,so they’re cut off.
Go figure.
Just have PJ Stock translate from English to French.
That should have everybody rolling on the floor with laughter.
Total bs.
They always show just a few minutes of questions. Nothing to do with language.
Paranoia.
Habsfan0 is splattering french-paranoid rantings up here constantly.
Paranoid?
Who?
Me?
What?
Why?
Et voilà ! Si le grand zéro n’est pas content, il n’y a rien qui l’empêche de regarder CBC. Chose certaine, Don Cherry ne parle que l’anglais — un autre zéro
Actually,Cherry doesn’t speak English,either.
le grand zéro… ahaha
OUi?
Vraiment?
Funny how they NEVER seem to cut off in the middle of a French question being asked.
But, as you say, NOTHING to do with language.
To be fair, do any of the Anglo networks air even a minute of French questions and answers? None to my knowledge do.

Le point que j’essayais de faire, c’est, au lieu de couper la conférence de presse parce que c’est en anglais, pourquoi ne pas avoir quelqu’un en même temps le traduire en français?

Habs really stepped it up for their back up goalie and played stellar defensive hockey. Can they do this every game please?

Hockey players have the worst nicknames. The just add ‘s’, ‘ie’, or ‘er’ to their last name. They made a slight exception with Chuckie, but I think Chuckles is more appropriate with his big goofy smile. Anyone agree?
I liked when the two Gally’s were together with Prust and Boone called them the Flying Freshmen.
I also liked the tag G-Force

i HATE how they just add ‘ie’ and TA-DA! uggh, ur so right about hockey nicknames in general too. the worst.
What kind of juggernaut is this? I don’t know what to do with all this winning. Last season left me totally unprepared to deal with a winning record coming into this year -)
CH-uggernaut!

If they put Sunrise and Tampa Bay in the same Conference as the current NE Division say good-bye to those Florida teams.
Move both of those non hockey markets to Quebec and Hamilton… Now THAT would be a division.
Blair Jones cleared waivers for Calgary. That kind of suprised me.
Holy crap! Boone mentions the shut-out in his live blog with about 5 minutes still to go in the game? Bad Form!!

What an outstanding defensive effort. Great job Budaj and all. Good night!

If Price has a bad game against the Rangers,we officially will have a goalie controversy again.
When was the last time that Price faced 19 shots?

I guess we would have to use the remaining amnesty buyout on him LOL!

Pacioretty – Prust – Budaj.
Not really the three best players but the fans always vote for the goal scorers and the keeper in a shutout.
Max, Prust, Budaj
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Budaj, Prust, Pacioretty
Nice bonus, always good to know we have a capable back up and Budaj looks more comfortable in the nets this season
3rd Star- Max Patch-yer-body

“It’s just an opinion – I could be wrong”
Good to see MaxPac finally scored his first of the year. He’s been putting up points though. That’s 10 in 11 games.
YES!!!!
Sad no more. That was last year! Les Canadiens sont la!
I thought I’d wait until after the game on the coach. I’m glad I did… but Captain Kirk has better hair.
As a hair impaired person I think hair is over rated.
———————————–
…that first star must be a thrill for Budaj …good for Him
Really happy for Budaj and for the rest of the team!!! Close matchup in the first 2 periods
What a great defensive performance. Canes had a brief threatening period in the 2nd but otherwise we completely stifled them.
now can we beat the shit outta the Leafs next time?
the thee the tha that’s all folks….
hmmmm..that was gratifying..onwards and upwards Habs and Hab fans..
Nice team win. Budaj two wins 19 shots each game. I’m not ready to crown him.
Stoked for Peter Budaj, fellow Slovak Hab.And stoked for another 2 points for Canadiens – so far much better than I expected.
How many times did you see the Canadiens’ smile under Jacques Martin or Randy Cunneyworth?
wasn’t permitted!
Well done Budaj! Yeah baby!
Rangers test tomorrow….
Big props to Budaj for 1 goal across two games, and equally big props to the team around him allowing fewer than 20 shots in *both* those games.
Well played by Budaj. Totally unexpected, big props to the man.
When was the last time a Habs backup goalie got a shut out……
Yay!
good to know Budaj was prepared
How about that indeed
Nice win!
Kirk who?
\”Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing\”
Wow. Whodathunk Budaj with 2 wins in a row.
Very happy for Budaj.
Nice work Petey. Thanks Habs. Well done.
Have to admit great game by Budaj
Budaj is worthy of the forbidden triple low five
________________________________________

Budaj is such a good person.
Boood-eye!
Jiri Tlusty is yet another Burke blunder – traded to the Canes for a guy who won’t ever play in the NHL.

Nice to get the shutout
Where are all the Budaj haters?

Why were the Canes dispirited? They were on a huge roll.

Like it or not, that’s sort of the point of it.
Good Win….
