Montreal Canadiens Blog

After a near miss last night the Habs will be looking to come on strong as the third game of this series heads to Boston. Last nights game was questionable at best, and frankly the only decent reffing was done in the overtime period. This was the case for both teams as the refs seemed to be making it up to the other team all night long for stupid penalties, and quick whistles.

Tonight will be a good indication of how the Habs bounce back from horrible play, as Boston will be looking to steal a win at home, before returning to Montreal for the game on Tuesday. In my opinion Carbo needs to put in O’Byrne and possibly Stewart, because they are guaranteed to play a more physical game which is something we missed last night.

Look for Thomas to be back in nets tonight after a stellar performance last night keeping the Bruins in this game at various moments last night, and of course Price is in nets for the Habs who has been solid since he’s taken over the starter position from Huet.

I think the Habs know that every team has a bad game every now and then, and last night was definitely the Canadiens. They just need to pick themselves back up, and come into Boston tonight with new life.
