On paper, we're waaaay better than the Stars.......  on left wing.

LOVE this! Those photos say it all.

 

At least two points for Radu tonight, I say.

[xXx..CK..xXx]

At least we won the Benn for Pateryn trade judging by the pairings...

He also has been a healthy scratch nine times already (though he has played more of a regular role lately).

27th vs 22nd place...another battle of titans.

 

Hopefully they can make it entertaining at least and Mete gets his 1st g.

 

Weber is out injured..should makes things interesting on d. Benn is the #1 d!

Craig button is great colour guy

I like him too.

28th ranked PK & 30th ranked PP..Uggg. Just how bad is this team?

[The Chicoutimi Cucumber]

What a crap penalty by Benn.

 

Good PK, however.

Not as bad as they are playing,  but the defense is possibly the worst in the nhl aside from weber.

[Guest Stogey24]

There's no point for Mete to stay with this team. Julien doesn't play him

[dlbalr]

The Habs survived the period at least (and considering their fragility and no Weber, I'm okay with that).  Great backcheck by Drouin to get back on Faksa on the PP.

Disaster narrowly avoided at the end of the period.

How does Petry not hold that puck in off the draw?

He was expecting Drouin to lose the faceoff and got caught flat-footed?   (Even the Dallas scorekeepers were expecting it as they gave Faksa the faceoff win.)

[sbhatt]

Pacioretty's uselessness on that last powerplay was sickening.  He didn't even pretend to try to get to the front of the net and battle for position. 

[sim.on]

Need more traffic to the front of the net.

Make it messy!

Sometimes I go through other team rosters and ask myself, what's the least I would take for Pacioretty?

Sometimes I watch the clip of Chara throwing Max's head into the glass just for giggles.

Goals a minute apart yet again.  They are consistent, these clowns.

[Trizzak]

 

This is our team.

The number of players on this team with a decent 'compete' level...you could count them on one hand.  It's sad.

[sim.on]

The last two minutes of the second period are basically the identity of this team.

They struggle so much to score I feel like it is already over.

[dlbalr]

So with two minutes to go in the period, I got to thinking that all in all, the Habs were doing okay.  Lesson learned: Stop thinking.

I need two hands, but that's because I count Gallagher 10 times.
