Montreal Canadiens vs Washington Capitals – 2009/2010 season 45th game highlights

Montreal Canadiens v Washington Capitals

Here are the game highlights from the Montreal Canadiens vs the Washington Capitals played on January 5th 2010.

Washington won this game 4-2. The Canadiens managed to make it close towards the end by making it 3-2… but in all honesty the only thing that kept them in the game was their goaltender. On this night it was Carey Price.

An all to common theme. Outshot 43-26 by Washington it looked as though the Canadiens were just out-worked all night long. In many of the games battles for the puck the Capitals would just come out on top.

Frustrating to see this scenario play out again and again. We have the luxury of having 2 great young goaltenders at the moment. Both Price and Halak have played great, but you can’t expect the Habs to win too many if they continue to be so badly outshot. Team defense is a biggie.

My evaluation is still…

Canadiens Plekanec takes shot at Capitals goal in Washington

As I mentioned yesterday in the post titled “Has the season self-destructed??” I think it’s been pretty hard to clearly evaluate just how good this team is.

There has been some raunchy performances on the one hand. On the other hand there have been some great performances where they’ve been in the game or have won.

Last night against the Washington Capitals were one such game were I wasn’t filled with optimism before hand but afterwards I certainly was.

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!
