If you're looking for the Habs in that picture, they're the little balls of dirt clods because that's what they looked like tonight. The shot clock must have been smoking something because how they managed over 20 shots in what was absolute suck I have no idea.
Hilarious observation: The arena got pretty empty when the game was nearing the end. Either Stars fans are like Sens fans and have to get out of a parking lot from hell, or the Habs fans invaded Big D. And in that case, nice of you few Stars fans to bring some official looking "Crush the Canadiens" signs, which was rather douchey considering who brought you a Stanley Cup...
Josh Gorges is usually a hero. Tonight he played the worst game of his life and scored a goal...into the wrong net. His stick looked like a feather duster as he waved it around aimlessly, causing a shorthanded breakaway to Jamie Benn of all people (who scored, obviously, because it's Jamie Fucking Benn) and to the little Fuckity Fuck Ribeiro (who didn't score 'cause Price deflected it up, which may strain the Gorges/Price relationship a little).
Stars ran through the Habs zone like Montezuma's Revenge. Putrid. Leaky. Extra sloppy. Everyone knows scoring on Price is usually a tip-in, but when I see guys covered and then un-covered for no reason end up tipping in the goal, that's when I get pissed.
Sum it up on Pouliot's total bail on Lapierre's PERFECT 2-on-1 pass to where he was behind Lehtonen with a wide open net, stick on the ice, and he just...lifted his stick to let the puck go by into the corner. Lapierre gave him an earful for that. The fourth overall pick once "touted" to be in the same class as Crosby HAS NO BUSINESS doing that. It's Latendresse all over again. Actually Guimauve would have scored that. Whether he would have made it up the ice is another story, but I digress.
And before Gionta's 2-on-1 goal shorthanded with Gomez, the only Habs goal wasn't even a shot on net.
Sad. Pathetic. And don't you ever scratch Kostitsyn again before benching Pouliot, Coach.
If Kirk Muller blowing a fuse doesn't work, what will?
