Boston vs. Montreal | December 5th, 2013 | 1930 EST

[brobin]

Gally actually hit from behind into the boards.... Doesn't get hurt, no call.

[brobin]

Brutally slow and soft on the PP. Too casual, no urgency....

[habscout]

Nice check by Eller on Thornton! :-)

[BCHabnut]

Markov is having a bad game so far. Nice hit by Eller

[Trizzak]

Habs don't look like they're going to score tonight.

I saw that. Swearing at my tv didn't make the refs see it.

[DON]

2 pretty even teams

[habscout]

Damn, I think Bournival is hurt. A headshot on the replay, shoulder to chin. Ugh.

[DON]

bit more entertaining play

Bournival broken nose?

[brobin]

Nice shot by Pleks. ,,

[habscout]

Plecky!!!

[brobin]

And there was a real hard boarding on Prust.... No call.

This is the NHL, bad inconsistent officiating is pretty common and been same for decades.

Amen.

[habscout]

Good, Bournival is back!

[brobin]

There we go... First to the rebounds... Pacs gets a beauty.

[habscout]

YES YES YES!!!

[Guest Stogey24]

Good play by Diaz there

[BCHabnut]

Diaz is looking good offensively tonight

[habscout]

They're coming on now!

Nice to see Eller with a couple of big hits in the game too.

That was a much better period. Most of the team had their skating legs. Both Markov and Subban look out of sorts tonight (poor reads, slow, etc). Their ice time has gone up over the past few weeks, fatigue was bound to strike.

[Lovett's Magnatones]

What a period! What I love about this new regime is they're always battling. They stunk to start the period, but kept trying harder.

[johnnyhasbeen]

If your going to lay 40 minute hockey, it is best to take the first 20 off. I guess?

Diaz should okay a bit more in the third to give PK and Markov a bit of relief.

[dlbalr]

The Galchenyuk line did not play much in the 2nd. Briere is under 7 minutes of ice time for the game, Galchenyuk under 6. (Eller is just over 10, part of which is aided by PK time.)
