• Comment on Liveblog: Price unbeatable as Canadiens complete sweep of Rangers
  In honour of the Habs facing off against the Rangers, you guys should read my Alex Kovalev retrospective piece that Maisonneuve just posted, called What If Alexei Kovalev Had Been a Hockey Player?

  It's in Philly—obviously about the Winter Classic.
• Comment on The Boston boos
  I'm really happy right now. But I remember the second intermission of Game 2 of the first round last season. Habs scored two early in the first, and were up by 2 goals after 40 against a higher-seeded, more offensive opponent. They looked good to seal the deal on stealing both road games coming back to the Bell. What happened? We lost 6-5 in OT and the series went 7 games. Martin has to avoid a repeat of that. I hope he mentions that game specifically to them...

  I miss Gorges, and Markov, and Cammalleri. 

• Comment on A point
  

  In a game like that as far as I'm concerned we take the loser point and we run. There was no way we were winning down Pouliot, Pacioretty, Cammalleri, second game in two nights, and with the rest of the roster beat up from the absurd number of shot blocks gone awry. At the end of the day, we've taken 7/8 points from the Sabres in the first four meetings... 

• Comment on A butt-kicking
  

  I'm actually confident that we can come back and win this. This team is not a fantastic team. We're outscoring 'em 5-on-5. If we can stay out of the box and produce some sustained pressure and rushes like we did in the middle of the 2nd, we've got a damn good shot.
