Pillsbury City: Habs 4 Pens 5

Can you guys stop with the turnovers? Can you guys STOP interfering with Price so he can move to make the save? Can you guys attack the point man instead of letting him shoot rockets at your goalie, doesn't matter who it is, while he's screened and can be deflected easily on? Can Higgins put the puck in the net when it matters instead of having it bobble on the goal line or tip it wide? Can defense actually, you know, defend instead of allowing 3 guys have their way with your goalie? Situations like that are 50/50, it doesn't matter who's in nets. If it's Malkin on the attack, forget it, it's a goal. That's like allowing Ovechkin the free length of the ice. Oh ya! We saw that yesterday.

- Schneider's first goal with the Habs in 13 years. Thank you for that, else the 5-on-3 would have been a total waste like the other powerplays tonight.
- The BelaRocket is on fire again. Two assists and one hell of a goal.
- His linemates were also the best on the ice. SuperPleky with two goals and an assist. Patches with an assist himself but he also did the yeoman's work for the night. I guess if this were Hamilton we'd give him the Flamboro Downs Workhorse mention.
- Play of the day.
- Or this?
- Maybe this.
- What did all those goals have in common? Shoot from the top of the circle: goal.
- Dipsy doodle dangle daisy: no goal, and an odd-man rush the other way. Video man, make them study this.
- Malkin doesn't like being annoyed.
- I guess the two games in a row drained the life out of Koivu...Actually I can say that for a few guys tonight.
- I guess we can thank the NHL schedule makers for injuring Bubbles, because that's what happens when players are pooped. Looks like his knee again.
- Not helping Price out will just piss him off more. HE HATES LOSING and no one is making his life easier. Come on guys, give him some help there. Half the time it was Price vs the Pens and like Therrien, the new coach has Malkin/Crosby out there every minute.
- What the hell did the puck hit on the clearing pass? It hit the glass, bounced up, and then right back down. Of course it gave a goal against.
- Carbo get your whip out. That defense play needs work. As does getting to the puck before the other guy.
- Kooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Funny story in the Hamilton Spector on Sergei about him not being there for practice and people going ballistic with speculations that he refused to report when, in fact, he was on his way. It was just late because they were arranging things after their late practice. GM Brisebois said he wanted his car with him so it was taking a bit longer. He's flying in anyway. Guess the porsche comes later.

Scary event: The Albany River Rats (bHurricanes) bus crashed last night on their way back from a game in Lowell, Massachussets (bDevils home). Thankfully no one was killed but four players and a staff member were seriously injured.
