Game 70 was an important win for the Habs to hold their standing
On Tuesday night, the Montreal Canadiens greeted the Carolina Hurricanes at the Bell Centre. With Boston and Detroit at their heels and also in action, a win was necessary. The result was a 5-2 win, while the Bruins and Red Wings lost. Here are my quick notes from the game. That was another rough start.…
Game 69 wasn’t perfect for the Habs, but the final score was
The Montreal Canadiens were back home on Saturday night to greet the New York Islanders. In a very tight Eastern Conference playoff race, every game feels like a must-win. The result in this one was a 7-3 win. Here’s what caught my eye. In a contending version of the Habs, that Suzuki trio stays together.…
The Habs were due to have a loss like Game 68, but the timing was terrible
On Thursday night the Montreal Canadiens were in Detroit to face the Red Wings for an important standings game. The Habs were the better team, but a couple of bad bounces were the difference. The result was a 3-1 loss. Here’s what I’m thinking. Detroit capitalized on some bad luck. Montreal’s defense is definitely the…
Cole Caufield was the hero again in a Game 67 win
On Tuesday night the Montreal Canadiens hosted the Boston Bruins at the Bell Centre. After a pointless weekend, the Habs needed to turn things around in a four-point game. The result was a 3-2 overtime win. Here’s what got my attention. The top line played their best in a while. They’ve consistently produced, but not…
The weekend was a bust with another loss in Game 66
On Sunday night the Montreal Canadiens played the second game of a weekend back-to-back. With the Anaheim Ducks in town, the result for the Habs was a 4-3 regulation loss. Just two things are noteworthy for me. The Canadiens scored three goals on beautiful snipes. The Habs had some chances in the first period, but…
The Habs were flat in Game 65
The Montreal Canadiens were back home on Saturday night with the San Jose Sharks visiting. Earlier this month the two teams faced off in California in a goaltender’s nightmare where Jakub Dobes and the Habs lost 7-5. In this one, the coach went back to Dobes and the result was a 4-2 loss. Here’s what…
Jacob Fowler shut the door in Game 64
On Wednesday night the Montreal Canadiens were in the second game of another back-to-back. After beating the Leafs in Montreal on Tuesday they hit the road to Ottawa. The result against the Senators was a 3-2 regulation win. Here’s what I noticed. The first period might have foreshadowed the first round. If you read me…
The Habs beat the Leafs in Game 63 to give the coach win 150
On Tuesday night the Toronto Maple Leafs were at the Bell Centre for the 63rd contest of the season for the Montreal Canadiens. The result was a 3-1 win for the Habs. At least three things are worth noting. The Kapanen line was buzzing. Yes, it’s Kapanen’s line, at least for now. The kid scored…
Slafkovsky was the difference in an undeserved Game 62 win for the Habs
On Saturday, the west coast road trip mercifully concluded in Los Angeles against the Kings. The Habs allowed 12 regulation goals in the first two games of the trip and collected just one point. After a slothly slow start in this one, the result was a 4-3 win. Here’s what caught my eye. The coaching…
In Game 61 the Habs were status quo
After a dead silent trade deadline, the Montreal Canadiens were in Anaheim on Friday night to face the Ducks. The result was a 6-5 shootout loss. Slafkovsky is still the best fit for Suzuki and Caufield. The ideal for any contending hockey team is six forwards who legitimately belong in the top six. Popular opinion…
