There seems to be no shortage of  feel good moments in this game. With a new on rearing its head each period, Bozon's presence in the first and then in the second Brian Gionta scored his 16th goal of the season in his 300th game in a Canadiens uniform (has it been 300 already?). Oh and some perimeter player named Pacioretty inched his way towards his 40th goal by scoring his 39th.

It's a wonderful thing to see the Habs get offensive contributions from guys named Mike Weaver, Jarred Tinordi, Lars Eller, Ryan White, and Michael Bournival. They did all that while only firing 4 shots on goal in the second period. Shoot less, score more! The Habs have been lucky especially with the Wings firing 15 at Carey Price.

For the next feel good moment I'm predicting that Briere notches his 300th. Predictions?
