First hat trick for Caufield....the only way this night could have been better is if Price had gotten a shutout.

For the first time in a long time, I actually want a Habs win tonight....even put a little bet on them at +220. 3 goals in the first 5 minutes...this is fun!

Glad the Coyotes wanted to get in on the stupid wins contest with our guys...bailed us out.

They are stupid for winning this game. If they get a point in the next one, and AZ loses in reg, we are no longer in last place. That would be a disaster. IMO healthy scratch every skill guy you can to 'take a look' at kids from Laval who have never been called up before.

I know, but why procrastinate? Lock it up tonight.

For God's sake....stop trying to win. Clinch last ffs!!!

Crush, no....but I most definitely want a regulation loss in this and every other game remaining. Arizona handed us a gift by picking up a point last night...I will be beyond pissed if we blow last place by picking up a meaningless point.

Guy Lafleur stars in most of my earliest hockey memories...this one hurt. I was handling it well until I saw Knuckles talking about Guy on the CTV news a little while ago; when he choked up, it got me.

Good job, boys...keep on racking up those regulation L's

It does benefit us if he regains his form, but for me, if he's out there being a useless mope again the next game or two, then I'd leave him out of the lineup the rest of the way. We don't need a bad attitude around our young d-men, and if he's playing like crap, no reason to dress him.

A friend of mine and I were talking about this a couple of days ago. I think PK would be a solid addition on a sensible 2 year deal: our powerplay needs a big shot threat from the blueline, and he's a reasonable middle/bottom pairing dman at this stage of his career. He'd be a placeholder until one of our young talents can out-compete him for the job.

That game was a lot of fun to watch.. Love the fight in these kids; they didn't fold when Tampa got up 3-1 like this team would have earlier this season. I like the effort and attitude in the current lineup...would be happy to never see Petry or Drouin out there again.

Agree. I think he has an attitude problem.

Always feels good to beat those scumbags....looked good on the greasy mustache that he coughed the puck up on the winning goal.

I hope this is the last time we see Lagesson on the blueline. Handles the puck like a hand grenade in his own end.

Normally I'm all about draft position, but this is the Leafs, so 2 points be damned...I hope they find a way to win. Matthews getting absolutely obliterated would give me warm and fuzzy feelings inside too (the look of that guy just annoys me).

Glad Anderson is back. Drouin...not so much.

Agreed. Gallagher produces at a 4th line clip anymore....he's terrible.

Agree 100%....I'm annoyed by the hire. Not only would I not hire Lecavalier, I wouldn't let him into the building unless he was a paying customer. F**k him.

A close loss where Caufield scores...perfect outcome.

Great...a Quebecois celebrity hire. If that's all this management group wanted as a placeholder with no coaching experience, why not think bigger? Hire A-list Quebecois celebrity Georges St. Pierre instead!

Petry clearly quit a long time ago, and needs to go. I'd give him a stint in the pressbox until I could move him, were it not for cap considerations.

There are two ways to deal with this. One would be to pressbox him. The other would be to throw him out there for 30 minutes every night to both punish him and maximize the tank effort. Hard minutes though...zero time on the powerplay. Either way, he's a bum and I want him gone...but until that can happen, make him pay.

God Bless you diehards for continuing to watch, especially with a WJC game on right now.

It was overdue. Especially happy with them finally flushing Timmins...we have drafted so poorly that it boggles the mind that he's lasted so long.
