Talk about special teams on that one.
Hey, even if the Canadiens lost, I was excited to watch that game. For the first 5 minutes. Those home opener ceremonies are always great, getting the heart pumping a little bit when they call out the players to hit the ice. Although it didn't cut it for the habs, stumbling in a 4-1 loss to Calgary in their home-opener.
Coming off a flaming start, the Canadiens had the fans roaring within the first two minutes of the game. Celebrating a goal scored by Andrei Kostitsyn at 1:47 of the first period, off a rebound that was first attempted by Max Pacioretty, habs fans were loud and proud.
And then, then came the penalties. Two penalties within minutes separating each other, costing Montreal goals on both occasions scored by René Bourque and Niklas Hagman. With the flames clearly outshot 36-21, Montreal couldn't seem to put one in after being put down 3-1 in the first.
Turn the page, next game. Colorado will be visiting Montreal tonight. With Price still on the search for his 100th career win, we'll see what the night has to offer.
Bon match,
Cheers
