The Canadiens have yet to win their first home game, got a pair of unnecessary and avoidable penalties for too many men, and Carey Price is still itching for his 100th career win, but hey; the fans got a real treat, witnessing a few great goals and some brasse camarade. I don't know about you, but I liked it.
Travis Moen broke the ice scoring his 3rd of the season at 1:51 of the first. Get this: with the Habs coming into the game with a record of 2 for 25 on the power play, Moen scored that goal short-handed. A Miracle, I tell ya'. Once the home team got the first goal, it was a real cat and mouse chase. The first period ended 1-1. Andrei Kostitsyn fired a wrister through the posts to give Montreal a 2-1 lead in the second, blown by Phil Kessel 36 seconds later.
For a while, it felt like Montreal was giving us some hope. With goals from Moen-his second of the night, and Cammalleri, the Canadiens had a 4-3 lead in the 3rd. Sadly, reality sets in too soon. Nikolai Kulemin stole a goal at 13:07, forcing the game to overtime, where Grabovski finished off the night with a goal that gave Price no chance.
Yeah, our Montreal Canadiens may have yet to find a win since October 9th, but if the fans keep seeing games like this, I wouldn't mind.
A special congratulations to Hal Gill for having played his 1001st game tonight.
Coming up this week: Panthers, Flyers and back to back Bruins games.
Amen.
