The habs looked a lot like a team fighting for a playoff position last night while spanking the leafs 6-2 at the bell center...For the second game of this 2 game showdown the Canadiens proved something that we the fans already knew, not only to the leafs, but also to themselves. When this group plays with the heart, intensity and determination they played with during this 2 game “DO OR DIEâ€? mini series. Any team would have a hard time beating them! After what seemed to be a little bit of a shaky start to the night, it seemed that the habs were able to regroup and find their game. Toronto to their credit actually played well, they were at times extremely difficult to hold off, but the combination of Montreal finding their game and some poor discipline by leafs, resulted in the lashing they took by the habs. Once again, every aspect of the canadiens’ game was on cue, all four lines were cliking last night and it seemed that the team that forgot to show up in Long Island only 4 nights before, have completely turned it around. The recipe, simple…Koivu, Kovalev, Ryder, Perezhogin and Higgins backed by Begin, Rivet, Bonk, Komisarek,Dandenault and last but not least Markov whom all showed up and played they game they needed to play. Let’s not forget the once again stellar play of Cristobal Huet who’s league-leading save percentage was in no jeopardy by kicking aside 26 of 28 shots! It’s always special for me when Montreal plays Toronto, it’s a rivalry that can only be paralleled by playing the bruins, but just a little bit sweeter…Why? The Leaf fans, there’s something about Toronto fans that just makes me cringe…not to say that their any worse than the Boston fans, but I guess it’s the Canadian factor. These are the kind of games that could potentially spark a club into a zone of confidence that the canadiens need to be in right now! Hopefully they will be able to build on these last 2 games and make something of the 05-06 playoffs! I truly hope that this proves to be the turn-around they needed, mostly because I am a !00% true, die hard, bleu-blanc et rouge habs fan…And partially because we would have the leafs to thank for it! ~GO HABS GO In the words of a hockey fan’s sign last night…”HIP HIP HUET !!!” The habs looked a lot like a team fighting for a playoff position last night while spanking the leafs 6-2 at the bell center…For the second game of this 2 game showdown the Canadiens proved something that we the fans already knew, not only to the leafs, but also to themselves.

The guy has an absolute bomb. So, Habs fans, why does he only have 10 goals? Currently residing in Southern Ontario, I've not been able to watch most of the Habs' games, unfortunately. Was he not on the powerplay earlier in the season? That said, it's time to beat the Leafs again tonight, and then the lowly Penguins--something that they should have done the first time around--tomorrow. Must-wins indeed!

Question is, can he stay healthy ... It did not help, when Toronto tried to injure him on Thursday.... Gainey needs to find a way to protect him ... it’s pretty easy: Markov plays the Canadiens win, he doesn’t they don’t.

The Habs really do have to come away with another win Sat. night to stay close to the teams they are chasing. At this point of the season it doesnt matter who they are playing, they must come away with as many points as they can. I heard Bob Gainey today on the tube and you can tell that he has the team thinking ahead and not behind with regards to the teams in the playoff hunt. Having said this I expect the Habs to win again tomorrow night, but I also expect a much closer game as well. Great team effort last night, but this is no time to relax.

I think it is that they've gone 5 games without scoring a goal even-strengthed. Either way it is still a sad stat.
