Peter Puck

That first Habs goal brought memories of Lafleur and Shutt on a 2-on-1.

How worried were you every time Kotkaniemi got ahold of the puck?

Both Beck and Mailloux looking good.

Ahh. Thanks.

TSN claiming the pick we got when we traded Allen will become a 2nd if Jake plays 20 games. I thought it was 40 games. 20 looks easy and 40 looks impossible.

I hate complaining about the refs but There were like 3 plays that period where the Wild could have been called and 1 where Montreal could have been called. Of course they were all ignored except the Habs transgression.

I think it is much too early to evaluate Laine. He missed a ton of time and may need a full season to recover his form. But there is no rush.

I am confused by the box score for this game. Maybe someone who watched the game can explain. The box score shows that Simoneau scored at 10:13 of the 2nd period and also that he received a 2 minute minor for goalie interference also at 10:13 of the 2nd period. Did this really happen? I could see scoring and then also getting a roughing penalty after the puck went in. If the interference comes first then surely there should be no goal. If the goal comes first then the play is dead and I don't think goalie interference is prohibited after the whistle. Maybe the box score is wrong? Did anyone here see what happened?

I knew it wasn't sustainable.

I'm really amazed at the improvement in team defence in 8 weeks. Just incredible.

Dvorak does start every PK but this is because every PK starts with a D-zone faceoff and he is our best FO man. He is also a pretty good PKer. But Evans is better.

Feels good to be the other team for once.

Just what the doctor ordered!

We've given up a single odd man rush. Partly that's due to Minnesota's style of play but nevertheless that's the least number for us in any game this year.

Yeah that second goal is a joke. The icing rule is supposed to prevent that. The linesmen just screwed up and cost us a goal.
