The Canadiens managed to blow leads of 2-0 and 3-1.
Frans Nielsen tied the game with the only goal of the third period.
Then, after the Canadiens had some chances in the early part of OT, John Tavares started a three-way passing play that left defenceman Thomas Hickey wide open to Carey Price’s left for the goal that won a strange game.
It was the first goal of Hickey’s career.
The Islanders clicked on two of three power plays, both goals scored by Matt Moulson.
Max Pacioretty had two goals for the Canadiens, who got an early one from Travis Moen.
With the Canadiens nursing a 3-2 lead, Frans Nielsen scored halfway through the third period to set up OT.
The Canadiens outshot the visitors 33-25.
So for only the fourth time this season, the Bell Centre crowd goes home grumbling.

I need Cole to bag a goal or I have to buy a beer for Tom/Looney!
Eller out there, LET’S DO THIS

Gio is getting too much ice time IMHO
Wow!
Great pressure.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
I’d like to see Gio and DD in overtime, watch em fly
Used to be happy with the point…now I demand the win!!
Neilsen Bleh! I say we boycott all Neilsen-Cadbury products effective immediately!
And Moulson products too!
Another point though in the bank. This team is not making many believers but keep racking up the points
Bourque gets benched even though Gionta made the useless rush that led to the tying goal.
Where was the system after the 1st period?
Our PP is broken plain and simple. The Markov-Diaz doesn’t even look dangerous anymore?
Eller in OT, 4-3 Habs

one point i hope for more now
Emelin got away with a bad cross check on Tavares.
Oh hello there.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Good evening sir.
We’d be raging if someone did the same thing to Plekanec.
We will get them in the extra frame.
Emelin should have gone off for that.
Ya, under the pads.. that’s a tough one to take.
I wouldn’t even call them playing at this point. WTF? JM time? How many games have we done this despite the first place position. Yes, I can be critical. Why can’t we just win outright? Geez…

5 wins in a row. One point at least tonight.
4th game in 6 nights.
And you’re upset?
Yes! I pine for the 70′s where we were up every night. Where we put the chill in the other team. Here, we seem to just float and don’t shut anything down. We also lost three in a row just before this streak. I want this team to be a killer team… Das all!

THere’s a little thing called “grace under pressure” YOU need some…BADLY.
No grace… Can’t give Boston any grace. Can’t give Chicago any grace. Why should we? We need killer instinct. Badly.

We’ve done plenty of comfortable winning this season.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
nice try by Eller there
Gionta is just getting muscled and losing a lot of puck battles tonight
“I couldn’t really hear the words that Jeremy was saying because I got my 2 stanley cup rings plug in my ear”
Patrick Roy
only tonight??
What’ wrong? Well maybe PK should be on first unit
My daughter’s effing rat dog ate my Joe Satriani CD..which one do I get rid of?
Bullet holes in my mirrors . . . .
Can someone go wack the head of the dimwit who keeps on banging on the glass pane behind Islanders’ net?
Same as the last game.. it’s loudest on RDS
those types are the very definition of moron..
Crap, crap, crap!

What’s wrong with our PP tonight
can’t hit the net for one, hitting Nabokov consistently for second
Well.. I’ll call Max to get the winner
Big chance!!
Give it to PK
Heh. Whowouldathunkit?
Well, I’ll be!
PP
PERFECT! PP! let’s put this to bed!
That’s the new rule.
I eonder where we rank in the league in Penalty kills, last couple of years we’ve been near the top
11th coming in, I think. Worse now though.
Every year Boomer!
We’ve been good in OT- let’s get there
C’mon Guy, pull one out now! LET’S GO! WOOHOOO!
Boone/HIO,
What’s worse?
Taking a bath with Lucic once?
or
Hand washing Chara’s laundry for the rest of his NHL career?
now its time for our fave..the exact same hooking call they didn’t whistle for Cole will be called on a Hab..guaran-freaking-teed
i was hoping for a flip shot
Got that mention in on the 6 game win streak
THe winning goal is gonna come on a redirect or some crappy thing..
Loving these talking point setups
what goalie doesn’t stand on his head against us?
D-men – don’t shoot on the opponent who might block your shot. That will lead to a 2 on 1 sooner or later.
Nice play by PK
how many times do they shot into the other player
It is in one minute our penalty, right?
Anderson has a sprained ankle
Refs suck
________________________________________
“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
PK almost did a Larry Robinson/Gary Doenufer on that guy
That was a hook
Markov loves that pass to the slot..it isn’t working anymore
Desharnais looked magical on that shift
Why make sure you don’t use PK on a 5-on-3?
Markova is playing like a bag of hammers lately
Gionta why?
Do it…..
There is a poster on here that offers nothing, is negative, and nobody responds to him ever.
If he bothers reading other people’s posts, he’ll know who he is.
Get lost.

I hope it’s not me…crap, is it me?
Ha!!
Not at all.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Whew! Thanks Matty!
heh heh
He responded.
He knows who he is.
—Hope Springs Eternal—
i would use the timeout half way thru the pp if posible
Come On PP……
Max-Pac tooootally blew the easy put in for the hat trick
Pfft. Move the team to las Vegas.
Is this the opportunity… Seize it boys!
Man DD & Pax have been excellent
A measuring stick game…
C’mon boyz!!!!
hook on dd
That was so close.
how the heck did that stay out?
Beautiful play! How did that stay out?
How did he miss
Too many douches!
Conan: Almost 20 years of pitiless cumber! No rest, no sleep like other men. And yet the spring wind blows, Subotai. Have you ever felt such a wind?
Subotai: They blow where I live too. In the north of every man’s heart.
Conan: It’s never too late, Subotai.
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.
I hvae no problem with Eller taking a penalty like that defending Price…
Looks like chuckie and the third line are going to have to save the day.
Crap! Crap! Crap! Need to have a killer instinct, not pussy footing, wimpy collapsing. A good first then kaka!

MT tends to turns into JM with a lead. No?
No, two or you are dead to me.
I see the loser trolls are back in force. Trade em! Price is not good! MB has work to do! Get a life, the team has played well and exceeded expectations. Even if they lose tonight there is nothing to be crying about.
MB still has work to do. If you dont see that I cant help you.
Sometimes win-streaks put fear into you… looks kinda like it did for th habs. They need to relax.
