Price vs Luongo ! Weise vs Diaz ! Murray vs hockey ! So. Much. Drama.
- HEY, WE GOT ROBERT CZARNY, YOU GUYS !!!
- Seriously, what the heck is a Czarny?
- Nothing to do with this game, but Martin St-Louis is going to Sotchi. All is right with the world. (Claude Giroux is left praying for another casualty. Kunitz would be my choice…)
- Alright, enough Olympics. Back to the old grind…
- Not quite. Salute to Olympians at the Bell. Raphael Diaz is introduced first. Awkward “To boo or not to boo?” confusion ensues.
- Grinding on.
- Icings. D zone confusion. Very-odd-man rushes. Yep, it’s a Habs game.
- Schroeder is no Henrik Sedin.
- Weise shoots. Much emotion.
- The smouldering corpse of the Canucks is thwarting us. Pelletier, Stanton, Sestito, Dalpé… who ARE these people?
- “Giant sentient Lego blocks”. Got it, Dave. Just in time for the movie. Must have paid for product placement.
- Subban getting ready for Sotchi is good. Pacioretty needs to get it all out of his system now, though.
- White scores! Weise gets a point! Raphael who?
- So many botched 2-on-1, by the Habs as well as the Cannots. “Execution? We doan need no steeenkin’ execution…”
- Off course, Chris Higgins scored. Unfortunately for Laura, he chose not to rip his shirt off, soccer-striker style. Maybe next time?
- And Murray gets hurt (again). Diaz looks on, but from the other bench. It’s just sad.
- Diaz hooking Max. Thank God he’s not ours anymore, amirite?
- Penalty shot !
- Never mind. Patches thought he was shooting at a soccer net.
- Penalty shot, part deuce !
- Never mind. Max fell asleep on his way to the goal. Third time’s the charm?
- Finally, Max prefers his shots without penalty !
- Roberto had no business touching the puck there. LOLongo, indeed.
- Hansen hurt. Torts will have to suit up soon.
- Alex Edler (a.k.a. “Last defenseman standing”) is peeved he was not the one traded to Montreal, apparently.
- Isn’t Murray supposed to clear Burrows from the crease, instead of standing ineffectually around and blocking Price’s view?
- What’s that you say? Diaz got a point? But he’s minus 2 ! Phew, phew, phew, dodged a bullet there !
- The putrid remnants of the Canucks are staging a 3rd period sort-of comeback, just to remind us that Michel Therrien’s system sucks, and that Price rules.
- Carey just won’t let this team tank where it belongs, will he?
- Patches also like his shots without goalies.
- Rene Bourque compliment of the night, for JD__: well, he didn’t miss two penalty shots, did he?
All in all, poor process, but a satisfying result. It’s the Habs way!
Oh and Max? Enough of that stuff after Saturday, OK?
EOTP three stars:
- rsty with “Beaulieu wanted to fight. But he is most comfortable In the father-son tag-team format.”
-
Dave Murray describing his namesake’s injury as “Hull breach”
-
RudeFrenchCanadian with his “It’s okay, I suck too” Patch-DD moment.
