Reasonably speaking, few Habs played a great game last night, Armia was far from the only one. From moneypuck.com:

Well, that was one of the worst performances by a Habs team I’ve had the misfortune of seeing live. The first 10 minutes were good. They were competitive. Then Vancouver gradually took over. The hinge moment was probably when DeSmith stopped Gally in close from a beautiful Suzuki feed. After that it was all downhill. What I was startled by was just how physically dominant the Canucks were. Bigger, stronger, and extremely businesslike, they won most of the board battles and basically manhandled the Habs the entire night. I think you’d have to have been there in person to fully appreciate the extent of this domination. I didn’t see much pushback either, including from the guys you might expect to bring it, i.e., WiFi, Slaf, Anderson, etc. It was a game where the extent of Vancouver’s control was so overwhelming that you could almost feel the self-belief draining from the Canadiens as the night ground along. The Canucks I saw last night were scary - a team in complete command, clamping down defensively, getting all the goals they need, and grinding the sh*t out of the opponent, shift by shift. That looked like a squad ready to go deep, playing Rick Tocchet hockey. By contrast, the Habs had waaaaaaaay too much dead weight, especially in the bottom 6. Whether it’s Gally or Anderson (LOL) or Pearson or White, etc., etc., these are duds who simply cannot hold their own against a strong and determined squad like Van was last night. That third period was utterly listless. Impotent. It’s easy, when you look at the 38 one-goal games or whatever it is, to think that we are one major additional FW away from making the playoffs. But last night’s spectacle suggested a team that needs quite substantial improvement up and down the lineup - a team that is a LONG way away. The only particular positive that jumped out to me was Newhook. His speed is something to see, and he’s making plays with it.

Hey Habs Fans. A few years back I bought some seats from the Forum. The seats are out of section 401, Row K, seats 34 & 35. That being said, I am looking for any "hockey" ticket stubs from these seats. Its a needle in a haystack kind of request, but worth a shot. I would love to find some stubs to go with these seats for my shrine to the Forum I will have in my basement in the coming years. Thanks in advance!! Sec 401 Row K Seats 34 & 35
