Wow...great play by the Habs, huge save by Miller. GOAL!!!!! Koivu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Koz, good to see ya here...brings back ESPN memories. haha.

YES! Huge PK there, and a great rush the other way.

Same here.

Damn,...long 5 on 3. 4 minutes to Koivu.

I blame that on the g/f. Calling with nothing to talk about while the Habs are playing! Sheesh, I need to get her into remedial Habs watching training.

Damnit...NO TALKING ABOUT ROUTS! Sheesh.

Higgins!!! YES!

First Period Observations: Habs stopped skating after the too many men penalty. Buffalo really controlled the play for the later third of that period and forced some turnovers in the Habs end. Higgins is working really hard, no surprise there, but he's one of the noticeable Habs on the ice. Ryder, what a laser to the short side on the PP. Great puck movement on that powerplay. The only lines that are worth mentioning...Begin's line, and Koivu's. Latendresse doesn't look out of place, but just relax. Markov-Komisarek...I like that tandem. Niinimaa-Dandenault, Dandy has obviously been given the green light to jump in on the play. Huet, looks solid in net. Great save on Mair, and a better save by the ref on Afinegenov...haha. Despite the 1 goal lead, Carbonneau should be digging into this team a bit this intermission, too many turnovers at the end of that period and almost no sustained pressure in the offensive zone the entire period.

Since the Habs took the penalty, the Sabres have controlled the play. Horrible cross ice pass by Niinimaa to set up that shot by Mair. Hopefully, Rivet is too hurt after taking a shot in the hand.

Huet! Great save off of Mair!!

Dandenault is jumping into the play a LOT.

Latendresse was lucky there at center, he was at a complete stop with the rush coming at him. Perezhogin has played well.

What a shot by Ryder!!! Woooo!!!

Healey is a jackass.

Go Habs Go! Wooohooooo!!!!!!!1

Other than disgruntled NFL receivers, I don't think you ever really hear someone say otherwise. Then when the money comes, the tune changes.

As much as I love my Habs, I don't think there's a chance the Habs take the Northeast.

Oh my lord, yes it's a conspiracy to keep Mike Ribeiro out of the US. Give it up, idiots.

Just to clarify last night's situation, Williams was skating with his stick shoulder high in one direction behind the net, Gaustad came in the other direction, and that's when it hit him. Just completely careless on Williams' part. Gaustad went down in a heap, nobody saw it, so there's no penalty. Grrr. After so many infractions with a high stick, I think a player needs to be suspended.

Another errant high stick last night, where he got his stick into Paul Gaustad's eye. Luckily, it hit just below his eye, so he was cut and had a nice shiner. I'm not one to hold a grudge against his player, but man...the league or someone has to do something to control his stick. Once again, he didn't get a penalty.

Pominville!

I thought the same thing about the music. What an original choice. Sheesh. It still seems very "noise free" you could barely hear the crowd during the celebration. Oh well, it's puck drop time!!

If you get Versus, at least the Sabres/Canes game is on now.

And considering I am an east coaster, I can see it. I do get sick of the constant adoration that the Yankees have thrust upon them by the media. It's just en vogue to be a Yankee hater now, though, that I'll like them. Hehe.
