The Canadiens continued to deflate the Panthers in the second period behind solid goaltending from Carey Price and nice offensive play from the top line of Pacioretty, Desharnais, and Vanek. Pacioretty put the Habs up 3-0 with his 35th of the season.

Brad Boyes broke a Florida goal scoring drought of 116 minutes (shootouts don’t count I say!) with his 19th to make it 3-1. Hard to believe this is a guy who once scored 76 goals over two seasons, but he’s having a decent season for Florida.

Still not enough to excite Bob Cole who sounds like he’d much rather be watching that Leafs loss.

Surprisingly Douglas Murray (11:12) isn’t last in ice time for Habs d, that honour goes to Francis Bouillon (10:07).

Will Gomez score? Will Briere get his 300th? Will the Panthers move to Seattle?
