• At a Glance: The Canadiens blew a two-goal lead on the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night before finally losing 3-2 in a shootout. Jochen Hecht scored in the 10th round of the shootout after both team missed several chances and hit about a halz dozen posts. Max Pacioretty notched his 10th goal of the season 4:54 into the game with the Canadiens on the power play. He collected a Tomas Plekanec pass in front of Sabres rookie goaltender Jhonas Enroth and roofed it over the goaltender’s shoulder. The assist was Plekanec’s 300th career point. Benoit Pouliot made it 2-0 6:28 into the second period after he was on the receiving end of a nice pass from David Desharnais.The Sabres got one back before the period was over during a power play of their own. Drew Stafford scored his 24th of the season with 2:12 to play in the period, ending Carey Price’s bid for a second straight shutout. The Sabres tied the game 6:08 into the third period when Jason Pominville redirected a pass beyond Price.
• Key Moments: The Canadiens had a power play to end regulation and beging the overtime, but came up empty.
• What It Means: Montreal’s record falls to 31-20-7 to remain at 69 points, missing out on a chance to pass the Boston Bruins for first place in the Northeast Division, which would have given them third place in the Eastern Conference.
• What’s Next: The Canadiens head to Western Canada for games against the Oilers, Flames and Canucks.

???? so risking ruining the career of Markov is not a risk considering all indications are he would like to stay here? That is a very selfish way of looking at the situation and a stance I would hope no team would take in a similar situation. MArkov and the doctors will be the driving force here but I seriously doubt the organization would push him into playing….and not because of the risk factor you mention…but because they want Markov for next season and beyond….I hope anyways.

Meh… don’t think so. 19 points in 47 games. A little under a million bucks for the rest of the season. Bit of a head case.
But hey, maybe they’ll take Gomez!
Ouch, sucks for him, I was wondering why Ruff didn’t opt for a french goalie against the Habs, guess thats why. Although rookie goalies seem to have our number just as bad, atleast this one already has a win in his career…

At no time did I say the organization would push him to play. My point was that if the medical staff say he is healthy, if the team thinks he will help their chances to win, and if Markie wants to come back, there is more risk to him if he gets injured than to the organization. He is by far the longest standing Hab and I feel he still has productive years left in his career and I truly hope they are with this organization. I wasn’t being cold, I was just stating an opinion. Markie is one of my favorites.
lol…I will say I am at least glad it is Star Wars and not Star Trek…not that I didn’t like the Original Star Trek…but I never bought into any of its newer stuff….

The diseased Vagina-faced dude?
Has Ryan White played his way on to this team? I mean, I think he has, but in the eyes of JM and management do you think he has?
If so, when Cammy comes back, is Pyatt is the odd man out with Lars?
AK46 and a second-rounder (do we have any left??) for Ales Hemsky (pray he doesn’t get hurt)?
KHAAAAAAN!

so it looks like Columbus is trying to fire sale. They are looking for an older experienced forward to play with nash.
Maybe this is the chance we have all been waiting for to deal Gomez. Deal Gomez for one of any of their young prospects and antoine vermette.

when your in the playoffs you get your own page
oh the Toronto Sports Network…I guess we aren’t Canadian…or just don’t matter….http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=353952
I will try this one more time. Does anyone know why Spac is a game time decision. Injury? Flu? I asked earlier and all I got was he’s too old, he’s too fat, etc…etc… Since then I had to search injury reports on the net and have found nothing.
Zenon Konopka sound like a bacteria or a virus as in Zenon Kenopka type 4A
“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
All reasons that Columbus wouldn’t take Gomez for him
this would be so great. A true 2nd line center for half the price of gomez. He can score, decent set up ability, 6’1. 200 lb. from quebec. 27 goals last year. 13 this year.
A fire sale is when a team is trying to rebuild. Sounds to me that now that they are playing better, they want to improve to make a playoff run. Generally a team in that position is not looking to give up a productive player on their current roster, they are looking to give up prospects and/or picks
lol I saw that……I just thought it weird since the other article was obviously about Canadian teams …and we are not there.
I’d like to see how he does in an NHL game, albeit I was kind of hoping it wouldn’t be because 2/3 of our defensive core is missing.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Gomez for their 1st.
I’d take that.

lol, I think they just want to market it more since the game is on TSN in the MTL region tonight.
SHATTENKIIIIRRRRK!!!!

That’s a Sullustan and the Empire is not an equal-opportunity employer.
Good lord I’m a SW geek.

I think way too much hype has been put on James Reimer as the Leafs savior by fans and media in Toronto. 11 NHL games is way too small a sample size to judge an NHL goaltender. That said, I hope he stands on his head tonight and beats the Bruins!
well i have read mixed reports. but anyhow vermette for gomez would be in their interest as they have noone to set u nash. they dont even need to include anyone. :)
but then its not likely gauthier makes such a deal. going after penner looks like the best thing we could do.
You win.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
I am. He is big and mobile. I want to see what he can do.
Hype in Hogtown? NO WAY
id say they would still as tehy have no first line center. noone can play with nash. gomez likely could. he is a greater set up man than vermette or any of their centers. they have derick brassard to fill the second line. this would be a major upgrade at center for them, and the perfect downgrade for us.
Hemsky is always hurt. I wouldn’t give anything for him. Think of the playoffs he would be out two games in
haha nice
I would get ride of Gomez for a 2nd round pick just to free up the cap space
I think he’s played just well enough for Burkie to give him a 4-year $35m contract.

Too bad Toronto didn’t trade Tuuka Rask for Andrew Raycroft or else they had the savior they needed.
um are you crazy? The flyers are the best team in the east by a long shot. They are built for the playoffs. Yes they don’t have great goal tending but on forward they are DEEP. On D they are pretty decent, even with Pronger out they didn’t miss a beat.
No team in the East can beat them in a 7 game series. I think Vancouver if they make some trades for D can take the cup but Philly will be tough.
stooof – that’s too good to be true
All I’ve heard is game-time decision, upper-body injury.
I am going to assume that this was sarcasm, because….

“I think if NJ makes the playoffs they are going to take it all, they have everything necessary.”
Um, no, they don’t. And Philly is waaaaaaay better than most others in the east because of their depth.
PK’s criticism stems from jealousy and prejudice. Treat it like TP. Wipe your butt with it and move on.
