Two goals in 43 seconds, with GORGES opening the scoring to celebrate that new contract. First goal of the year for Kaberle, and his last goal was last year against the Habs. Three goals in 50 seconds. Plus a penalty shot. Anyone who dares to break up the Stooges Line (Moen-Larry-Kush) should be immediately slapped. They did this last year when Martin randomly put them together, and then inexplicably broke them up after the trio went on an absolute tear.
Kostitsyn looked like the GOOD version of Kovalev.
Moen looked like he was ready to skate through walls and over mountains. Nearly had the opening goal of the game with barely a few minutes off the clock.
And Lars Eller...
It's because I went looking for an Eller #81 t-shirt at lunchtime today, right? I didn't find one. Now I'm probably going to have to fight people off for one.
Not since Jan Bullis did a Hab score four goals in one game, and that was in Philadelphia. NHLN tells me the last Hab to score four at home was Brian Bellows...in 1993!
Ah hell just watch the highlights. Seriously, words can't describe Eller and his linemates tonight. They needed the win badly. They needed to win at home badly. And like Gorges said, every game is Game 7 for them now.
