That’s four in a row for your mighty Montreal Canadiens.
Best thing was it didn’t come easily.
The Winnipeg Jets, who were ridding a three-game winning streak of their own, fell behind 2-0 before battling back to take the lead.
A third-period goal by Tomas Plekanec, on the deadly Canadiens power-play, was the only goal of the third period.
Carey Price, who was shaky on the first couple Jets’ goals, made huge saves down the stretch.
Canadiens penalty-kill was great late, when it had to be.
Brendan Gallagher, with a goal and an assist, was the game’s First Star.
His linemate, Alex Galchenyuk, had two assists and was Second Star.
On to Ottawa.

Never been a DD fan. Last year I felt Cole and MaxP carried him. He doesn’t have any speed. If you watch him live you really see how slow he really is out there. Definitely not a top center. Only problem is we don’t really have anyone else to replace him. I don’t see him here long term.
Go ‘abs go les boys!
Whos the next buyout or will there be one?

Nah, three more goals this game. OT or SO

Do you think we have to stay out of the box?

In lighter news… Fleury and Pricer are killing me in my pool tonight… …so far (positive spin)
IN GALLY’S WE TRUST…
For as long as Boone has been covering the Habs I’m surprised he thinks Ole is a victory song. Most ‘mericans might think that, but I’ve always known it to be a chant to liven up the atmosphere.
Agree
I’ve always thought of it as a taunt intended to spur opponents to try harder. The visitors are usually rewarded for their efforts.
On TV it comes across that way, when in the building it feels different I think.
Boone. I think we’ve all said it fifty times. Ole ole is a celebratory cheer not one claiming victory.
Having said that… What the ole is wrong with Deharnais?
As an avid Desharnais fan i think this is the first game this season where he just looks bad, maybe his dog died or something.
I’ll get lynched for this but he’s been this way all season. Hope he turns it on.
I think he’s made the odd offensive plays that have had a good impact and until tonight his defensive play had been good enough to get by.
He has a period to redeem himself.
Nah, in fact if anyone’s getting lynched…. It’s DD if he don’t smarten up fast.
—
Go Habs Go!
Not the first bad game he’s had this season.
In fact I believe his “good play time” can only be measured in minutes at this point. Not games.
K, a bit harsh maybe… I’m just annoyed, and he’s the whipping boy till he scores or improves.
—
Go Habs Go!
Keep dreaming Bill. That young man would have to pot one in his own net during a Game 7 overtime to become the whipping boy.
I’m not sure that would do it.
Dunno, tonight he’s seemingly many posters frustration whipping boy. A least it’s not just a few of us anymore.
—
Go Habs Go!
I’ve always been a supporter, but he’s absolutely looking flat. Now that Cole is coming around, the leash will no doubt get shorter.
Price does not loook sharp tonight. Seems like he is fighting the puck alot. Price needs to have a great 3rd period. C’mon boys!!!
I say that and it’s like a morgue… I mean really guys, Price can be great, but sometimes he looks so average like he’s thinking about his money.

Is there something happening with the gravitational field at the Bell Centre? Sudden surges in the earth’s pull have dragged down a few Habs.
The pull is originating from the HIO servers. All the negative comments here are creating a vortex.
There’s only one thing to do, we all need to post something positive, Right away!
I’ll start us off: Gally and G look great together.
Ok. Me next:
Markov and Emelin are birds of a feather.
Did Gauthier trade them to the Ducks during the intermission?
The team didn’t sag after blowing a two-goal lead and then falling behind 3-2.
something positive
Well, that should erase all the negativity ….
27+73= 100% Gally
—
Go Habs Go!
It’s the hamsters. They fed them some HGH (Hamster Growth Hormone) and the super-powered beasts are creating the vortex.
Haha. Gravity seems to be pulling back down. He was playing at such a high level before this game.
This isn’t Price’s night so far. He gave up a softy in New Jersey also, but there’s still a period to go. He’ll probably/hopefully make me eat my words
The two Gallys look excellent tonight, and hopefully Cole gets going after that goal.
Even though we blew the 2-0 lead, this team looks so much better than last year’s. You’d have been able to put a fork in em at 3-2 last year.
It is a different feeling this year, obviously. the Team D is really improved, even Kaberle isn’t terrible. If DD can get going and Max can pick it up when he returns, I’m looking at a 5th to 8th seed for us.
Tonight he’s not terrible….so far.
I’m getting claustrophobic trying to read Boone’s comments inside that little box.
–Go Habs Go!–
Gazette seems to be cutting back in all areas.
That’s the largest live blog box the HIO servers can handle before the CPU maxes out and shuts down the UPS.
Soon they will cover only 2 out of the 3 periods. If that happened last year, we never would have known Cammaleri was traded. lol
So, ikno i shouldnt be asking but who is out when pk comes back?

Right now it is Subban is effectively sitting. He could’ve been cleared yesterday and suited up by tonight no question. Therrien is making him wait. Sending a message.
But as of Saturday, it’s obviously Kaberle.

It should be Kaberle, that would make the most sense to me too. We will see who they sit.
Agreed
Unlike last season, it’s nice to actually believe we can still win even when Price isn’t having his best game.

Mr. Boone,
I’ve always felt that the Olé song is more of an enthusiasm-building song than a victory song. A contrast to explain my opinion:
The “Nanana…goodbye” song is a victory song.
The Olé song is more of a “If you’re happy and you know it…” song.
At least to me it is.
Well hopefully team regroups during intermission. Certainly not a standout night for a few players including Price. A good third period and 2 points are there for the taking.
Plekanec, Gionta and Bourque have been dangerous on almost every shift since they’ve been put together.
If there are lines to be juggled, this one should stay untouched.
Chucky,gally, and prust is magic as well

So we all agree that they should try Patches-Eller-Cole when Max get’s back.
I think Bourque might get 20-25 in this short season. He’s just a step slower than the other two and that’s such an advantage for him in being able to trail them a little bit on the rush and get great chances.
Then DD should get 40-50 points with all his lag.
He’s with that bum Eller, can’t see it.
They just added the assist to Chucky on that last goal
That’s the right call.
Cole, would be pole, prust would be crust…….. Bahahahaha

Grigorenko scores his first for the Sabres.
Grigo is going to have a long and productive career in the NHL.
I think so too.
It will be interesting to seem him against Galchenyuk on the weekend.
Yup. Could be a great head to head match-up for years.
Its not that it looks like DD physically cant do it, it comes across as mental struggles right now. But thats through a TV screen…
Just learned that René Gary Wayne Bourque is his full name.
Pens getting their asses kicked tonight by NYI, gotta love it
MaxPac to DD is what Hair was to Samson
DD c’ mon man get your poop in order…brutal
DD is in ECHL form tonight…. Just sayin’

A Serious question… How long does MaxPac stay with DD and Cole, if they don’t pick it up?…
I’d like to see what happens if Cole and Prust get swapped.
Considering Pac is gone for a month … I’m not sure I understand the question.

I meant of course upon his return…

Give the Jets credits, they’re forechecking extremely well, Markov is playing badly tonight and Desharnais is just awful. What’s wrong with the ice, why is everyone falling?
Wow hard to figure out what kind of game the refs want to see. That last penalty on Wpg. was weak call, but miss the obvious delay of game.
Seems some refs really want to be noticed, not sure, but so inconsistent.
I think the fact that PK is coming back has gotten to Price he must be dreading the low 3′s all ready

Terrible call on Galchenyuk, followed by a non-call on jokinen. Shockingly ends in a GA.
