The Soap Opera Continues...



In today's episode of "As the Hockey World Turns..."
The Canadiens lose their 6th straight, still winless at home.
Thrilling, no? More thrills: The only guy who was able to put a puck in the net against the Panthers, Max Pacioretty, suffered ligament damage in his wrist, forcing him to leave the game. I swear this just keeps getting better.
The Canadiens seem to have the game plan down packed when it comes to scoring the first goal, but it's scoring a second goal that seems to be a problem. The team gets off to a pretty good start, but then confusion seems to set in.
Of the possible 16 points that could have been obtained in the last 8 games, the Canadiens have 4 points, therefore they stand last in the Eastern Conference, and 29th in the league; Columbus behind the with 3 points.
On a positive note, Peter Budaj played a strong game, making some good key saves.
At 7:30, the Canadiens will be facing the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers have a 5-2-1 record as of late. Philadelphia GM Paul Holmgren did some clean up this summer, letting go of the Flyers main men Jeff Carter and Mike Richards. Although they beefed up the team a little, signing Max Talbot and Jaromir Jagr. The habs will be playing  in front of the home crowd tonight, hopefully giving them something to cheer about.
Pacioretty will be a game-time decision, and Price will be back in nets, still on the look out for his 100th career victory.

Bon match.
