I hope to see progression in their game, win or lose, they have to be prepared for the playoffs. The need to fine-tune certain plays.

Special teams need to be ready aganst the BOLTS.

Go HABS go

Stats to follow beyond the Pacioretty 40-goal watch:

- Brian Gionta is one point shy of 40. If he gets a point, it will be the 7th time in his career that he reaches that mark.

- If he scores a goal, David Desharnais will set a new career high for tallies in a single season.

- If Rene Bourque has a positive +/- rating in the game, it will mark the first time since 2009-10 that he's not a minus player.

Don't know if this game will be any better than last one.

I doubt ticket buyers will get $ worth.

Maybe Gallagher will get his 20th, Max get 40th and Price get a shutout; which would be great way to finish off season?

Good penalty kill for the Habs.

Hopefully they build on this and get the first goal tonight.

Im happy to see that our boys are playing better tonight than they did on Thursday!


Vanek needs to shoot if he's open in the slot like that. 40th goal or not, that was a prime scoring chance.

Agreed. I get the feeling that the guys are all looking for Max on the ice...it could end up costing some goals!

I've never seen a team struggle so much to settle down in the offensive zone on the PP,


This PP is fvc.king pathetic!

I was curious about the lack of an instigator call myself. The only justification I can think of why there wasn't one is that the ref knew the original tripping penalty should have been 5 and a game and was making up for it. But then...all penalties were handed out at the same time, so I can't see why he wouldn't just change the original penalty.

No feeling needed, they have been passing on scoring chances for past 2 games, trying to get him his 40th. This game wont be much different.

the Ranger dropped his gloves first when Subban did fly bye.
