17 goals in 3 games?
-
Uncharacteristic Habs hockey to say the least.
Unsurprisingly those 3 games were all Hab Wins.
Can they keep it up on the road in Pittsburgh?
Carey Price will get his 3rd start of the year tonight against the same team and in the same building he got his first career NHL win.

- muller93 : Very true Senet, you do need luck and we haven't had any luck it seems since the habs moved to the Bell Center. We had an incredible run in 2010 with some crazy goal tending from Halak. With Galchenyuk-Tinor di-Gallagher all in 1 year--not too bad, even with an early exit in the playoffs.
- Senet1 : Muller I guess we all have our own ideas, but there has never been too many times that were successful when they traded their draft picks away. We have a chance to build this team so we have a shot at winning the cup over the next 10 years. Even as good as Pittsburgh has been they have only won the cup once since Crosby and Malkin have been with the team. That is because you not only need great players but you need luck to win, but one thing about Pittsburgh they have a chance every year. The
- muller93 : Good point on Torres, he might be a liability. Torres has to tone it down a bit, but that's his game-very aggressive.
- goalie : Though I don't condone what Raffi Torres did - thos shows you how repeat offenders or near offenders are going to be treated. His hit was NOT illegal BUT what the rap sheet adn reputation Torres has he got severly punished. Lesson to be learned by OTHER players because Torres dopesn't learn fromk his mistakes.
- muller93 : Senet normally I would agree with you on not trading draft picks but we are not in a rebuilding stage. Sometimes draft picks can be a roll of the dice and it can take up to 3 years to be NHL ready. We have a good team and I agree with Stuo players like Clowe-Torres-Ott -Scott will make a big difference. Somebody has to protect Gallagher, he can't keep getting hit the way does--we need a tough forward so they think twice before going after Gallagher.
- Senet1 : Really a heathly Habs team would probably win more games against the Pens that we did against the Sens. Reason they Pens would not play as physical against us as against the Sens. If we get good goaltending we win at least two games.
- zpezada4ok : hello all «link»
- stuo11 : hes a tougher big guy too! Just a minor adjustment but will help a bit
- stuo11 : hes better than markov, and hes french who was in mention for defenceman of the year
- goalie : Markov for Beauchemin - an injury prone d-man for an ;old timer'd-man. Beauchemin is NOT what the Habs need in my opinion. He is a HUGE defensive liability.
- goalie : Stuo 11 I'd make that trade with Oilers fast BUT I doubt the Oilers will make that. Two marginal d-men at the best for a switch of first round picks - not a chance .
- stuo11 : markov for beachemin?
- stuo11 : let moen go
- stuo11 : maybe try and get steve begin back
- stuo11 : we wouldve kicked out all other teams but pens, sens,
- stuo11 : pens have alot of forwaRDS same with us but we have better goaltending
- stuo11 : theres styles of play goalie. Sens played us good, but lost games to southeast teams florida and tampa and get crushed by leafs EVERYTIME. sens and leafsd cant beat bruins but we do frequently
- stuo11 : Diaz weber and our 1st for their first edm
- goalie : SEns beat us 4 games to 1. Pens had last night's game under their control. What does that mean if we were up vs the Pens in a series. I think the Habs have a way to go before we're competing for Lord Stanley's Cup!
- Senet1 : If he could score goals like Lucic and we could sign him to a four year contract then I would consider it too. However, NOT if we only have him for one to two years.
- Senet1 : So we went from 27th pick to 21st pick.
- goalie : Normally I would not trade draft picks BUT if we could get a consistently, solid player (especially forward) who is BIG I'd trade one of our picks.
- Senet1 : The good part of this is with both Detroit and Boston moving on to the 2nd round it makes our draft position better, we move up the list by two.
- Senet1 : Bruins beat leafs in OT. It was hard but I was hoping the Leafs beat the Bruins. They had a4-1 lead in the third and two goal lead with less than 4 minutes and lost. Sound familiar.
- Senet1 : The thing is just because you get those guys does not guarantee that you will even make the playoffs or get out of the first round. Look at Detroit they built a strong team and organization and have been at the top for years. Yet they only have had a chance to win it two or three times. No matter how good you are you still need the breaks. So putting yourself in position to win is the most important thing to do year after year.
- stuo11 : i think rightnow we came 2nd in east, a few tough players and we could win it all. why wait? id rather win the cup and not make playoffs the next year!
- stuo11 : and save 4 mill
- stuo11 : ryan clowe or raffi torres! and then a big defencemen! trade markov and gionta for Cammalleri. crap for crap but at least hes canadian and good in playoffs lol
- stuo11 : goalie and muller, we outplayed the sens, real bad luck, major injuries! i still find were the better team. If the nhl wasnt so dumb about zibinejads goal itd be totally different!
- Senet1 : Don't TRADE DRAFT PICKS for one to three year wonders.
- Senet1 : Sorry guys but I would not trade our draft picks. We have 1 in the first round, 2 early second rounds + our own 2nd round pick and a good third round pick. We have finally got a chance to build this team like Detroit did and be able to stay up in the upper group of teams for a long time. If we blow this draft we blow our long term success. There are some players we can trade away and hopefully get some rugged players in return and or more draft picks. We have shown other players that we have
- goalie : I agree with Muller. I'm not sure how many high / mid draft choices we have but I'd be looking to make some moves (even trade draft choices) for a couple of proven, rugged, players who can help us immediately.
- muller93 : Well MB is a finalist for the GM of the year and I for one will say he did a great job with the Habs. We are just a few players away from having a real contender for years to come. But I really don't want to bank on this years draft--We need some NHL ready players. Hab fans have waited long enough and we have a good foundation. Lets trade some players along with some draft picks and get some big players in here. This is the only problem I see.
- Senet1 : The leafs were intimidated early not from size but just not believing they could beat Boston and they did not get good goaltending early. Now they believe that they can beat the bruins and I would not be surprised if they do because they have faster than boston. They are beating boston to the puck similar to the way we beat them to the puck. They are exploiting their defence with their speed. So as long as Reimer gives them goaltending they have a chance.
- goalie : Senet has it right. Other teams have drafted skill, size and dedication. Those players are out there.

If the Habs can keep hitting the back of the net, I can’t see why Price wouldn’t get his second win.
October 27, 2007 at 10:17 pm
Why is Latendresse on the PP? Carbo must be brain desd!
And Price isn’t ready for the NHL. He keeps letting in goals thru the 5 hole.
He’s definitely NOT READY!
October 27, 2007 at 10:25 pm
Nice win for the good guy’s!Price should allway’s do shootout duty,like a relife pitcher in baseball”he just stoned the MIGHTY PENS !” after all it’s Huet’s shortcomming.
I must say I feel very proud of way the team is playing and as a lifelong fan……HABS RULE……………………………….
October 27, 2007 at 10:33 pm
Chevy4CH,….Yo..We Won Dude…Relax and enjoy…Let th Good Times Roll,lol
October 27, 2007 at 10:58 pm
After we build up a lead, we always stop playing. We were lucky to win this game, because the 2nd and 3rd periods belonged to Pitt.
Why is Latendresse on the team instead of Lapierre? He belongs in the minors. He’s totally USELESS!
October 28, 2007 at 4:53 am
Why is Garth Murray on the team? I would rather Latendress on the team than Murray.
Latendress has the potential to be a powerforward. Garth Murray is a watered down version of Begin. get rid of Murray and bring up Lapierre
But yeah, don’t worry, be happy.
October 28, 2007 at 1:08 pm
Did Price look a little nervous last night? I think he should be sent to Hamilton as the starter; Halak backup. Take Danis up as Huet’s Backup, Trade him along the way, take Price back up. That way Price isn’t sitting too long riding the bench. He needs more playing time.
October 28, 2007 at 4:58 pm
“Why is Latendresse on the PP? Carbo must be brain desd!

Right so he let in a bad gaol and after that? He stoned the Pens all the way into the Shootout and Stoned them again… the mark of a great goalie is they let in a bad one, but then they just slam the door for the rest of the night… only thing brain dead around here is guys like you .
October 28, 2007 at 7:47 pm
Price is doing quite well. He needs to learn the ridiculous pressure of playing in Montreal from guys like chevy…
With Huet playing the way he is and Price doing a stand-up job “learning the ropes”, the Habs are in very good shape in goal. The confidence just seems to ooze out from their own end.
Reminds me of last year until the bug hit…
The differences to watch this year: power play is multi-dimensional, Huet will not be worked as much, and Kovy’s come to play!!
October 28, 2007 at 11:46 pm
Jack, dont forget Markov : he is playing like a Norris contender a the moment.

HabsFan4life
You don’t have a clue about Price. Talk sense Dude. Huet is not our Savour.
To everyone: HOW MANY SOFT GOALS HAS HUET LET IN. HUET’S SOFT GOALS COST THE HABS A PLAYOFF BIRTH LAST YEAR WIN WE PLAYED TO IN THE LAST GAME….
October 29, 2007 at 12:38 pm
Chevy, this is last time I read any of your comments, you’re a horrible fan really, can’t even celebrate a win (or 4 in a row)…this team is by far exceeding ALL expectations..
You speak as if you should play on their behalf… all old, cranky, and sweaty and cursing your 13″ TV all night long… wake up bud, were WINNING!
All this negativity sounds like Toronto Laffs fans… get over yourself, thats 4 wins in a row for the good guys!!!
GO HABS GO, thrash the Thrashers!
October 29, 2007 at 2:40 pm
um….on a side note Spectors reports that Sergei Samsonov has been a healthy scratch for the past three games in Chicago because of his poor play…..lmao….for you Gainey nay sayers…..this one alone was worth having Bob here.
just my humble opinion….don’t get your panties in a bunch.
October 29, 2007 at 3:04 pm
DTD
All I am saying about Price is that he needs more playing time. Huet is playing really well right now so why should our goalie of the future be riding the pine. He should go to Hamilton and start every game until he is called back up. I wasn’t saying he was no good. So you should read into a post before reacting Dude. Price needs to play or he will seize up.
October 29, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Oh and the whole team cost a birth lastyear, not just Huet. He didn’t play for a month. wasn’t his decision to play. That was Carbo’s choice.
October 29, 2007 at 3:21 pm
is it Mr. Big time, or mr, BIG MOUTH!
October 29, 2007 at 5:45 pm
t-rum, I’m with you there…and thank God he didn’t re-sign Aebischer. Phoenix just put him on waivers recently.
October 30, 2007 at 1:58 pm
HabsFan4life:
Sorry Dude.
Bob has a plan. He wants to trade Huet for a goal scorer. He needs to see what Price can do………….
October 30, 2007 at 4:34 pm
yeah,trade your number one goalie right before the playoffs…that would be nice. Way to mess up chemistry.
Nah, keep him, resign him for a one year contract to let Price mature. then Trade him or let him go on his way. Or if Price flops, pull a sign him for 15 years like the Islanders would.

Hold on everyone…don’t get too excited yet. I’m a huge Habs fan, have been for many years…but they always do this. BIG start, followed with a fizzle. I pray to God that it’s not the case this year, and they are the real thing, but lets wait and see huh? I gotta tell ya, one thing I’m very discouraged about is, once again, our Habs holding their own with the big gun teams and then losing to the bottom teams. The same old song and dance as last year and the year before…beat Pitts, great games with Ottawa, splitting season series with Buffalo…but then losing, like they did last Tues night to Atlanta…the team everyone else is beating up on. Come on guys, #1 powerplay vs. #29 penalty kill, get 6 powerplays, including two 5 on 3′s, and can’t beat these guys? Winning games against less superior teams is what put teams like Ottawa and Buffalo at the top of the standings at years end. But this is where our Habs have trouble, just like last year. Ya gotta take these “gimme” games and keep the 2 pts racking up to be at the top. Why do we have so much trouble with these teams? Giving them a break? Only playing as good as the opponent? Come on, fill the net against these poor penalty-kill, high GGA teams. The top teams do this regularly, and if we wanna be there once again, we gotta start banking these 2pts when we get the chance. Gets discouraging when we beat Pitts and Carolina rather handily…then to entend to a 5 game winning streak we got the Thrashers (who arent playing up to their standards this year so far), and then lose….gotta beat these teams while they’re down…its whats gonna separate the top 5 or 6 teams in the Conference come playoff time. Consistency is all we’re missing right now to have a great year and a good playoff run. GO HABS GO !!!!
