After getting a short winning streak going, the Canadiens played their hearts out in a first period against Buffalo… the a quick goal at the end of the first… no big deal…
Another goal coming in the second… the wheels flew off.
Tonight, the Habs play in Atlanta.
Halak will most certainly be in goal.
I’m hoping the team can find a way to come together. They need to play so much tougher then they did vs Buffalo.
With big Georges Laraque out with more injuries to his back and his season all but done… the guys HAVE to play tough as a unit. Much like Carbo talked about, but we didn’t see last game.
Tom Kostopoulos, Maxim Lapierre, Gregory Stewart… these guys will and should paly tough… so should Komisarek, but I have to believe that he’s hurt.
Over the last few seasons, we’ve seen it over and over again…. guy hammers your captain… or another guy like Kovalev… no one responds…. guy comes through the crease and hammers Price… Halak…. no one responds….
Moves were made to adresse some of those problems. One of those moves was Georges Laraque. But Georges Laraque was practically not %100 all season… much of the season out due to injury and now seems as though he’s out.
So tonight… a big test. I believe Atlanta will be out to hit guys and jam the net. Carbo and crew NEED to play tough….. they need to jam Atlanta’s net… to get the emotions going…
From a fan’s point of view, if they don’t play tough the season may be over. Really.
I’m hoping to see Tanguay back in the lineup tonight. And please… I would put Dandenault in there on D… give him some time…. give Breezer a break.
Team responds – Great game in Washington

If you didn’t see it, the game had the feel of a playoff performance.
The Habs really came out with lots of energy and played hard. Lot’s of guys seemed to give the effort.
Pacioretty is gonna be good… he sent a few erratic passes last night, but he’s a young player and learning… he played with energy and gave the effort.
Plekanec seemed to be energized…. in the overtime he lost the puck to Ovechkin only to hustle back stay on him and take the puck back… he also managed to step out of the way of a big hit ala Ovechkin.
Price was great. Really great to see him play well… at times Washington’s offense gets pretty strong and Price kept his team in the game.
Mathieu Schneider really looked pretty good out there…. looked like he’d been playing in Montreal for years..
The power play was hot last night. That’s a good sign.
Gregory Stewart… give this guy another contract and he’ll play next year. I could see Stewart in Montreal next year. It seems to me that Steve Begin is on the outside looking in and is likely not a part of the Habs future… which is too bad in my opinion, he’s been one of my favorites for his sheer work ethic and hard play night in and night out… but I could see Stewart take his role next year.
Stewart is young, energetic, gritty… and he tries creative moves… last night tried to flip the puck over a defender and skate by him. The move didn’t work out, but give him points for creativity and not being timid.
Kostopoulos. Give him another contract please.
Loved the game.
Pittsburg.. you’re up next!
Go 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.
