Much better game, good effort, but we faced a tough goalie.

Hopefully a much better outing tonight! Go Habs Go!!

Fourth goal and lack of effort on his part, or second effort that should be did me in on the Price wagon. We need to take a chance, It's PRIMEau Time! Time to see what the future can do, teamed with Allen if he succeeds. I don't think anyone picks up Prices contract on waivers to be honest. If they do, we are off the hook. His play is anything but off the hook.

I said to those watching with me last night, that is a new look for bergy, I say that is a you are done look, I was right

Saw that in Bergies face after the 2nd goal

I hate the Rangers jerseys, worse than the barber poles.

Not surprised.

Elbow, but yes the Meyers hit was worse. Love watching the replay and seeing Chiarot grab Dube by the nose and fix his look for him. 2 minutes for enforcement. Good penalty on his part Dube should have got at least 4minutes if not 5 and the gate.

They exist in abundance. They dont get drafted in todays NHL. Instead teams take crap shots late rounds at small forwards etc. If the league does not correct their issue, I predict this will change.

Seems to be a few too many. Maybe it is time that we started to look for that ability in our acquisitions? Forgotten talent that seems to be missing as teams are taking liberties that an enforcer did stop. I would rather see the game just be called right without the need for this behavior. But unfortunately it isn't

Not to mention the run they took at Evans early in the game. He stopped short or was being decked mid ice too

Explain Wilson in Washington to me? You can be a talented useful player and still be a feared fighter. The 2 are not exclusive to themselves. How many shots to the head does Washington take?

...and a missed major by a ref should equal a suspension without pay for them. Maybe a limit of blown calls and they are demoted to the AHL for eternity? Wouldn't it be nice to hear a call like that is under review and the refs are suspended until the outcome of the review board? They are far too untouchable. Make them call games by the book or find a new gig. If we were all that useless at our jobs we would be out of work. Last playoffs should have been a wake up call that there was a serious problem brewing with the leagues officiating.

1 word, enforcer. VS Van it took a premeditated fight to settle the score. This time we didnt wait. Dubes nose was in worse shape than KKs. NHL make up your minds. Get the refs to call it right or expect fighting to return to hockey and enforcers will be back. My problem with the review board is not only their wavering on what is an offence, but how the suspensions cant correct the missed calls in the game. How about if the review board says, hey that should have been 5 and a game, the next time those teams meet the suspended player is out and team starts with a 5 minute major they should have had in the last meeting? I know. No. but how does justice come in these cases. 1 word, Enforcers

My thought is they finsh 3rd behind Edmonto and Toronto. Both teams that will lose in the first round. Be a tight battle for fourth with Vancouver squeeking in. Montreal wont sew up that 3rd place until the end of season. Go Habs Go. Will be a good season.

How did that WHO song go? Got a feeling 21 is going to be a good year.

Good start MB. Now please give us a goal scoring wing.

Not what I wanted to hear. Get well soon coach.

Well I have to say this play in could not have worked out better for us. Worst case now is lose in 5 and pick 9th. The truth is right now they are showing we are a better team than people thought. Folks, the drive is alive. Anything can happen in the playoffs and I don't think there is a team watching this saying, "I hope we get to face Price and the Habs next". Really want to see Hudon or Poehling on the 4th over Waste (I think I spelled that right). Give Domi a fighting chance. Great game.Keep it going! 17 more wins would be quite the fun run!

Thanks for the game day thread. Here's hoping you get 4 or more in a row. Go Habs Go!!

My son summed this game up 5 minutes in. It was a beer league game. Both teams looked real bad. Some of the players were out for a skate at game speed it seeemed. A liitle slower than game speed. Our d was sloppy to say the least. Carey was actually very good and again, deserved better support. Toronto was closer to game form and have the talent to finish passses. Enough said? I would rather see any of the kids than Weise. On the point I think Fluery should have won the 3rd pairing spot. As has been mentioned, rather unnoticed and that was a good thing. Bottom line, play like that and out in 3. Maybe that is the plan? Pens also looked cold today but were getting it going as it went on. Glad I didn't buy that NHL playoff package. I wonder what Romanov thought watching our D? Bet he feels confident about cracking the lineup.

Can't recall ever be so excited for a exhibition hockey game in July!! Go Habs Go!!!

Honestly, why even do this in an NHL rink? They could do this somewhere like St John's NFLD with no cases. Not like there is any attendance to worry about.

Well to me we came out of this pretty good. Worst case we lose the play in and draft 9th where we can get that much needed Russian goalie prospect. lol. In my eye next best we win and have a shot at the crap shoot playoff. Best case we lose to Pittsburg and win the lottery. I am ok with all 3 but not the goalie....

Well I plan to cheer for the team winning from here in and hoping Toronto and Florida continue to suck. I will do that until we are mathematically eliminated. Then I will curse the Detroit losses again.
