Its a miracle!

Carey is washed up... before his new contract even kicks in.

 

(kidding!!!)

Alright. So I’m going to be the psychic who says Pacioretty will break through soon. 

Is 35 minutes good for a psychic?

Sorry, I won’t say any more! It’s still early in the game anyway and I’ll be back to watching Habs once the period starts. 

No worry.

Whenever #91 is on the ice, Habs might wanna keep an eye on him at least.

Another pretty good period from Montreal.  They're still in it which, given the way they've played lately, is something in itself.  Nice to see Pacioretty finally get one - he has had a solid game overall.  Now it's Drouin's turn to snap the drought.

Dont forget 86. Reminds me of Lemieux a little bit. Very little effort for big time results.

[dlbalr 758]

Knowing that there are some taping the junior game, let's not post about that in here.  Please use the WJC/Spengler thread for that game.

[Commandant 807]

Don't give Kucherov breakaways. 

[xXx..CK..xXx 218]

Terrible play by Alzner. Fitting time to say that Price has played up to standard this game. 

[zumpano21 66]

Tampa’s playing softball tonight

[Habopotamus 31]

Played well tonight. I think that's 2 even strength goals in last 5 games though... 

 

Drouin  turns the puck over like crazy. Terrible blind passes. Pulls up in the zone on every single play, telegraphs pass  

 

Jerabek looks he's getting some confidence in his game.

Thass’sum goood 3 on 3

[sbhatt 41]

Only made it home in time to watch the 3rd...but this is the best hockey that this team has played in a long time.

[Trizzak 668]

Shootout... oh well. 

[sbhatt 41]

That crazy save in OT...and a wall in the shootout...vintage Price.

[Habopotamus 31]

 

Solid game. Defense still made a lot of questionable plays and of course, only able to muster one goal. 

[Meller93 142]

Price is up to a .910 save percentage and down to 2.92 GAA. Possibly the first time he’s been under 3 all year! Numbers are finally getting back to respectability.

 

He should have a strong second half! We need him to with that contract. Patches breaks the slump, although as a team we still scored at less than 1 goal per game.

4 on 4,  Habs have the last change up  and they go with  DLR and Galchenyuk against Stamkos and Kuch ?!?!?!

[Toronthab 363]

I have to hand it to the guys for playing so well despite the great hairy black sack of rocks ...us.. on their backs.

 

Well done Habs. Hard to play when you're being dissed by us fans.

Yes, I find it often is very entertaining.

 

Was interesting to see Jerabek start it off.

I thought delaRose was really skating well in the game.

I don’t know if I’m not paying attention enough because I’ve heard him praised quite a bit but I felt Jerabek really stood out in the 3v3. First time I’ve really noticed some of his strengths.

 

Both Sergachev and Jerabek may be better/have better potential than Beaulieu? 

[Commandant 807]

Interesting to note that Jerabek will be a UFA if not signed by July 1st.
