That was one ugly period. 

 

The habs D zone is awful, could they be any softer in front of the net. 

 

Price is sleep walking, i yank him. 

 

And yet somehow it's tied with a chance to win. That's a positive

That's a memorable first Montreal goal for Peca.  No sniping it top corner there.

 

I wonder if they'll consider pulling Price at the intermission.  The problem is Niemi hasn't looked much better (the first half of Monday wasn't pretty) and Buffalo popped four on him two weeks ago.

####ing pull him. 

 

I don't care how many aren't his fault. Fourth straight start with at least 4 goals against. 

 

Edit: And if it's all on the players then send that message now with a mercy pull.

Goalie equipment is smaller this year as well, 

 

Scoring is up all over the league. 

 

Bruins already gave up 6

 

It seems like scoring is up but the difference is negligible.  Last year, each team scored an average of 2.97 goals per game.  This year, it's 3.08 (which may be going up slightly tonight).

 

And make it 8 on Boston now which is nice to see.
