Canadiens VS Senators – Post game highlights and comments
Sep 19th
The Montreal Canadiens played their second pre-season match up at the Bell center last night against the Ottawa Senators who opted not to dress Alex Kovalev. I really didn’t expect Kovalev to play because I’m sure he’ll get a favorable reaction from the crowd and he is quite fresh in voicing his desire to return to Montreal someday…
This game marked the second win in the pre-season for the Canadiens and another loss for the Senators as the Canadiens won 2-1…

Another win for the habs (VS Nashville)
Jan 16th
So the habs win again. Despite key injuries to Koivu, Tanguay and Higgins… the habs keep it rolling.
That 4th line is really really impressing me.. and on some teams would likely not be a 4th line.
Highlights:
Habs took Philly
Oct 14th
I think that last night’s game was an important one.
It was important in the psyche of the habs… especially say a guy like Price, and maybe Sergei Kostitsyn, who played with a bit of jam last year but in that playoff series Philly was just so physical I think it really changed the game.
As I watched last night, I saw some good and bad. Of course.
In the second period when Montreal scored the first goal, I thought the flood gates just might open but then the Flyers scored 2 quick ones.
After those 2 quick goals I had a slight flashback of that playoff series last spring. I saw a couple of what could have been mistakes and boom… there it was. After that, I found that the Flyers did have quite a bit of momentum.
Third period brought a nice change… and the goals came out.
So far, I think Price has played very well. He’s already made 2 “save of the year” type saves in his first 2 games of the season.
After a slow pre-season by Lang and Kostitsyn seems as though the offense is coming to them. Lang has shown some nice passing skill… Kostitsyn has shown that he has GREAT vision out there and the ability to make excellent passes.
Kovalev made a few moves that were just crazy. He’s so good. One of the RDS commentators pointed out last night that unlike some younger guys who come at you at 100 MPH and deke you…. Kovalev comes in much slower… and still dekes you. Sometimes, when he is “on”, he makes 1,2,3,4 (sometimes 5) guys look silly.
Kovalev made some nice passes last night. I love the fact that in Montreal, he seems to have found a home. He seems to love the city, love the fans and love wearing the blue, blanc et rouge.
2 guys who should be back very soon would have been perfect in the lineup last night vs Philly…. Bouillon and Laraque.
It’s early in the year.
But it’s awesome to have it back!!
Also… here are some recent posts on the Habs.

Montreal Canadiens won their pre-season matchup against the Penguins last night at the Bell center.
The Habs were at times a bit flat (I thought) although I’m sure they weren’t hustling…. it just seemed it wasn’t clicking all the time through the first 2 periods.
