Habs called up
Tokarski, Dubnyk, Beaulieu, Pateryn, Drewiski,
Andrighetto, Blunden, Dumont, Thomas, Leblanc
are 'Black Aces' and will practice in Montreal this week.
Just seems overconfidence is one hard thing to keep in check.
Sort of same with 1st home game after a road trip, usually home team struggles.
Guess is where good veteran leadership may make the difference?
Which Hab team will show up, tight checking and hard working one, or one who already starting thinking about 2nd round and been reading too many press clippings?
About what I expected ( I half expected Zero penalty).
I think majority would think a 1 or several game suspension is fair.
And funny that Seabrook hits Backes exactly as Seabrook has been smoked several times and also knocked silly. Hawks are trying to play 'gritty/chippy' and it aint working.
14seconds in and Nevins in his 3rd pro bout! Here we go.
Blunden gift wraps a goal for Beaulieu, 1-0 dogs and Tokarski gets Assist on the PP goal. Gets his 1st point in last game of year.
(ex dog/hab Greg Stewart gets Allan Cup OT winner today).
Secondary scoring is always a bonus.
Nice to see 6 forwards/2 d-men with multiple points in 1st two games. (none being named Markov-Pacioretty-Plekanec)
And you know Pacioretty is gonna have a big game sooner or later and he at least got his 1st playoff point out of way yesterday.
Only 4 Habs with no points after 2 games, that is a surprise and Markov is one of them, which after 9 goals you would figure he would have to be in at least one of them.
Gallagher 3goals, Subban 6pts & Bourque 5pts in last 7 playoff games.
Too bad Eller took dumb penalty late and (likely) cost Price shutout.
Tampa just needs a split in Montreal to send it back to Florida, so the fat lady aint warming up quite yet.
